I'm in love with who?! [Ongoing]

Chapter One

I'm lying on my bed scrolling through my socials when a video catches my eye. It was a video of a group of friends similar age to me predicting who is going to be the drunkest at the end of their party. What made me stop and concentrate on the video more than anything was that I recognised a very familiar voice; the low timber warms my soul and makes me start to slicken whenever I hear it. I re-watch the video just to make sure that I wasn't deceiving myself when I see my cousin's best friend telling the camera that Billy is going to get the drunkest.

I re-watch that clip of him with his shirt undone and tight jeans on for what must be a couple hours before I decide to carry on scrolling. As I scroll all I can think about is him. If you can't tell I have a huge crush on my cousin's best friend. I have for years only I haven't been able to do anything about it for 2 main reasons; 1) He's my cousin's best friend and me and my cousin have been like siblings for all my life (even more so after all we went through 3 years ago..anyway that's a different matter entirely) and 2) He only sees me as his best friend's younger sister.

While I'm thinking about all of this my cousin (Sam) walks into my room and tells me that he and a couple of his friends are going out later so not to stay up and wait for him to get home as he'll stay over with his mates. I ask him where they're going and he shuffles on the spot and rubs his neck and replies "Nowhere you can go Reina." I sigh and ask who's going
"Oh just Billy, Ryan, James, Harry and of course Rey!" I perk up
"Oh that's nice going to have drinks and stuff?" He answers "Suurrree...." I can hear the lie in his voice but decide not to comment, instead I reply "Have fun then! I'll see you tomorrow. Love you!" He responds
"I love you too, don't forget to lock the door!"

As I watch him get into his car and back down the drive I make a decision...I'm going to follow him and see where he goes as it's definitely not just to the club to talk and have drinks with his mates. As soon I see him get close to the end of the driveway I hightail it down and onto my motorbike and follow him, making sure to keep my distance as to be inconspicuous.

When he finally pulls into a carpark after 40 minutes of driving I wonder why he's here in the carpark of what look to be an abandoned office block. He walks towards the door where I see most of his mates stood outside with a security guard waiting for him. When Sam reaches them he leans over towards the guard for a moment, muttering something under his breath before the rope is swiftly removed from the pole, allowing him and his friends to enter the building. As I was around the corner while this was happening I overheard the password, so I walk up to the guard with faux confidence and state "Emerald". The guard looks me up and down sizing me up before he finally lets me in.

I start to walk through the dimly lit corridor before I get to a door where there's masquerade masks in a glass bowl. I take one that looks very elegant and place it on my face before taking a deep breath and pushing the double doors open...
