Slow fade

23

I finally made it home when I was bombarded by boys. " we're going out tonight to celebrate your new job."Bill said.

" it's not a big deal lots of people have jobs."

" yea but you're my friend and I want to celebrate you."

" ok when are we leaving?"

" in two hours so go get ready."

I laughed at how excited he was over something so simple. I turned my shower on and took my clothes off. I stepped in and felt the warm water.

Once I was done I stepped out and dried myself off. I walked into my room and tried to find something nice to wear. I found the perfect outfit and put it on. I did my normal routine and found myself presentable.

I walked out of my room to be met with Tom doing the same thing. He didn't say anything he just stared.

" you look good"

" thanks."

Toms pov:
She looked so amazing but I knew I shouldn't get involved. I would just hurt her with my ways.

Presley pov:
I met with the guys down stairs and saw Ansley was there as well.

" I'm sorry for leaving last time and being rude I had a lot going on."

" it's ok I understand I've been there too."

She was so kind unlike most girls who were rude. I have her a friendly smile and we all headed to the cars. Like last time I had to ride with Tom which I didn't really mind. We didn't dislike each other as much since that last time.

When he got in the car I admired his features when he wasn't looking. Since that night I've slowly grown to like Tom. He was perfect on the outside. Perfect nose, beautiful brown eyes, and full lips.

I had never felt this way about anyone and it scared me but something told me to go for it and see where it would go. I'd never initiate it first.

" you want one?"

I took my eyes off of him to see he  was holding a joint. It was kind of our thing you could say.

" sure." I took it from his hands and pulled it to my lips while holding the lighter at the other end. I inhaled it slowly and took two more. I handed it back to Tom and he did the same while driving to wherever we were going.

By the time we had arrived we had finished it. It was taking its effect on me but I knew how to suppress it. We got out of the car to join the others.

It was different then the last one. It looked more like a party bar. People were dancing everywhere and drinking.

I headed to the bar and ordered a few drinks and took the shots down quick and smooth. I went to join the others while I waited for the alcohol to take over.

I started to feel it so I got up from my spot not listening to anything the boys were talking about. I walked over to where everyone was dancing. I started to dance when I felt two hands touch my hip. I turned around to see it was Tom.

" are you having fun?" Tom said with a suggestive look. It was obvious he was drunk. We were deep in the crowd. He turned me around and placed his lips onto mine.

This was different than the last one. It had more passion behind it. I slowly pulled away not knowing if I had made a mistake or not.

Toms pov:
Yea I was drunk but I wasn't drunk enough to not know what I was doing. I had wanted to do that but didn't know how to.

She was different than the rest. When we pulled apart she said she had to go to the bathroom. Did she not like it? Had I made a mistake. All of these thoughts consumed my brain and made me a mix of angry and upset. I went to the bar and ordered two shots. And then two more. I needed these thoughts to go away.

I took all four and I felt them take effect immediately. I don't know what I did next but I soon found out it wasn't good.

Presley pov:
I excused myself because I need to think. Had it been a mistake or was it something I enjoyed.

I bent over the sink recollecting my thoughts when I heard the door open. It was Ansley.

" I saw you walk in here and wanted to check on you."

" I'm fine just needed time to think is all."

" is everything ok?"

" yea I just don't know if I made a mistake or not."

" about what?"

" Tom and I kissed and I don't know if it was a mistake or if I enjoyed it and wanted it to happen."

" sometimes the best things come out of things like this. Don't stress about it ok everything will be fine."

We walked out of the bathroom to go join the boys when I saw tom. He had a girl on his lap and was making out with her as if he was hungry. It broke my heart. I guess it was a mistake.

What made it worse was that it was Rachel. After what I told him he did this to me? I knew now that I really couldn't trust anyone even if I needed to talk to someone. I always end up hurt.

Ansley turned her face to me in a shocked and sad manner.

" I'll be back."

I stood there. My body refused to move I was frozen. Ansley came back with bills keys .

" I'm driving us home I didn't explain to him what happened. Come on."

I sat in the car with no emotion. I looked out of the window to see drops of rain falling. It reminded me of my mom. Maybe I should try again.

When we arrived home I didn't say anything to Ansley I just walked I to my room contemplating what to do.
