Shattered Asylum

Chapter 16

T.W.

I didn't realize a fell asleep until the ringing of my phone wakes me up. I answer it without looking at the name. "Hello." My voice groggy from sleep. "Aven? Have you been sleeping all day?!" Nora's voice booms through the phone.

"What time is it?" I take my phone away from my ear, looking at the time. Damn, I really did sleep the whole day away. Curse my stupid period. It's currently 5:10. "It's time for you to get up and get dressed. We are going out." Do these people ever just relax at home?

"Uhm. Where are we going?" I wipe the sleep from my eyes, sitting up. "We are going to a party. I'm almost at your house." Nora hangs up before I have time to give her an answer. I guess I'm going.

Nora insisted that she do my hair and makeup. She straightened my long, curly brown hair and did a full face of makeup. She made me wear a black, off the shoulder long sleeve crop top with a mini black skirt.

The shirt barely covers the scars on my back, good thing I have long hair. I don't worry about the scar on my collar bone because I can easily lie about how I got it.

She put a black choke collar around my neck before stepping back to look at her work. "Fuck, i'm good." She grabs my shoulders, pushing me towards my mirror. I couldn't recognize the girl looking back at me. I actually look.. Pretty.

I put on black heels that have straps going up the legs. Nora put on a plain, black mini dress with gold high heels. She curled her medium length hair and also put on a full face of makeup. She puts gold eye shadow on to make her fit go together. She's so beautiful, It's not fair.

We walk outside in front of my garage and take some pictures. "You look so hot! You need to post this on your Instagram." Nora said grabbing my phone and doing it herself.

The only picture I have on there is of me on my dad's shoulders, smiling down at him. Once she is done, she gives me my phone back before we finally head to the party at 9:05 p.m.

"Who's party is it anyway?" I ask realizing I have no clue where we are going. "It's Jayden's party. The one from art class." He's nice but he is always trying to find ways to flirt with me.

We made it to his house, parking a few houses down. I can hear the music and the stench of weed from here. Once we made it inside I see sweaty bodies dancing together, some making out, some doing more than that. Nora goes straight to the alcohol, leaving me in her dust. I'm the DD tonight so i'm not drinking.

I follow her towards the kitchen to find some water to drink. Once I get there, I see Nora already flirting with some guy before they make their way to the dance floor. It's only been five minutes and I'm already wanting to go home. 

If she was going to leave me the minute she got here why force me to come?

I sigh, grabbing a cup to get some water. I turn around and lean on the counter, keeping a close eye on Nora. I eventually feel someone stand next to me. "Hey beautiful. What are you doing here all by yourself?" I look over at an unfamiliar face.

He has blonde curly hair with brown eyes. He's a little on the shorter side, standing only a few inches taller than my 5'1 frame. "I'm just getting a drink." I give him a small smile trying to be nice. "What are you drinking? I can get you another one." He comes a little closer putting his hand behind me, leaning on the counter.

"I'm just drinking water, thanks though." I swear, guys don't know about personal space. I move over more, hitting my side into the corner. "Waters no fun, let me get you something more.. strong."Why is he being so persistent?
