Tom Riddle - Downfall

Chapter 8: Vomit

Then Orion comes over and asks me for a dance. I nod, and we start dancing. Orion is a womanizer, and I know that. But he has no chance with me. Still, a dance is nothing too serious, and he's a good dancer.
Orion swaggers up to me with all his confidence, and I quickly realize that he had been watching me dance with Sebastian. He seems confident that I'll say yes to him, and he's right. I nod and agree to dance with him, as I did know that Orion was a good dancer. As he takes my hand softly and guides me toward the dance floor, I notice that Tom's eyes are once again watching me with an intense jealous stare. He watches Orion take me from Sebastian and pull me into a close dance. My hands clasped together, but then I started feeling uncomfortable around him. He is way too touchy, and I look at me in a .. strange way. Also, he is totally drunk
"Orion, please stop. I don't wanna dance anymore. " Orion laughs and pulls me closer as he dances with me, taking advantage of my closeness and using his proximity to sneak in soft kisses onto my neck and cheeks He's definitely had too much to drink, and he has no boundaries with me right now. He's moving more slowly than Sebastian was, but his hands are much more active.
"Oh, come on, Lucia..."
He chuckles, pulling me right up close and brushing his lips dangerously close to my mouth as he speaks.
"Stop!" I say and push him from me. This was way too much, and I ran away from the dancefloor.
Orion laughs drunkenly as I shove him away, and he stumbles for a moment before regaining his balance. He seems annoyed and slightly embarrassed by my rejection, and he calls out after me as I run away from the dance floor.
"Oh, come on, Lucia, don't be such a prude! Where are you going?"
His eyes follow me as I run away, and he's annoyed. I spot Tom watching my encounter with Orion curiously. He must have seen what happened because he seemed to know Orion's reputation. His eyes follow me.

I'm standing alone at the bar now and taking a huge drink. Kim comes over to me. "Oh hey Kim," Kim appears at my side, and she immediately notices that I'm slightly shaken up. She gives me a small smile and a concerned look, but she doesn't mention my encounter with Orion; she just starts talking about something else as if it never happened.
"Hey, Lucia! Oh my god, I've been waiting for you!"
She's slightly tipsy herself now after hanging out with Markus, and she's clearly in a good mood. She grabs me and pulls me into a tight hug, laughing and greeting me warmly. Kim seems very excited.
"I saw you.. kissing with Markus, huh?" I nod at her. Kim nods in response, her cheeks flushing slightly from the alcohol. She's blushing a bit, as she knows I've seen her and Markus making out earlier. She leans in a little too close and whispers in my ear.
"We started making out... he's such a good kisser..."
She laughs, sounding slightly drunk, and her breath warms my neck as she leans in to whisper.
"I'm sure you noticed, right?"
"I noticed, but are you okay? You seem very drunk, Kim?" I look at her concerned.
"I'm fine," Kim replies, her words slightly slurred as the alcohol starts taking effect on her.
"I'm having fun... it's just a party... you know... you should try relaxing..."
She laughs and looks me in the eyes, the heat of the party and the alcohol making her bold. Her eyes move downward, focusing on the dress I'm wearing and how I look tonight. She's studying my outfit, and I can feel her gaze on me.
"You look great, Lucia. It's really hot tonight..."

Then Kim's face turns pale while she looks at me. She throws up on my shoes. "Oh great," I immediately try to take Kim under my arms to carry her outside of the party. I hope that just a few people have noticed what happened. "Kim, come on," Kim stumbles something I can't understand. Suddenly, Tom stands beside me, helping to carry her outside.
