Forgive me

Four: Mistaken Liquor

I'm dreading. Each second, and minute right now. I'm wearing a fancy over-lay little coat with a black-shirt and some skinny jeans. Nothing to much, but formal like. After fixing my messy hair I'm focusing on grabbing my phone before walking out my room, I see Meghan in her flower crop-top and some sweatpants, her hair curly as her face was with light makeup, she's gorgeous! She always knows how to go out to events or anything outside plus everyone believes that she's pretty, no doubt. 

"You look nice," Meghan complimented giving me a genuine smile before leaning back to show her outfit, I just smiled at her giving a sly grin, "–How about me?" Twirling like a ballerina that she is, her hair bounced. 

"You look stunning girl! I mean–preferably, I think I look better." I joke trying to get her annoyed, as if she hears my thoughts; she glares at me before going down the steps, I quickly follow laughing trying to tell her I'm joking, though, we find David down the steps looking confused at the both of us, at what he probably heard from above. 

Of course as friends we have to tease-insult. She knows I'm kidding so does David, he's just sometimes quiet, but he is outgoing when he opens up. Same for her, Meghan was nervous talking with me but we instantly got along, then we gamed together; maybe a night long that drained our eyes. The thing she used to hate is how much I've won over her during small mini games we sat for hours on the computer for. 

"You all look good!" David presses his lips together, before opening the door, we see Chewie whining but we quickly exit the house, well small apartment at–least. 

She smiled like a princess. I roll my eyes mockingly as we got into their car waiting for us to arrive at this so-called fun party. 

"𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤! 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞!" Justine points out to me in this big giant ass building filled with blinking LED lights, loud vibrant music also flashing little lights swimming around the place. I'm nearly choking to find a huge bartending area that people order alcohol or other beverages, then the upstairs, and middle, bathrooms. My hiding area! A Ha! 

"I notice," My voice longingly voiced out, I'm trying to sound like I'm excited but in reality, I'm nervous but excited, okay, I'll admit, I need this, "Oh look even more celebrities are here and some I don't recognize." We both spectate the party; understanding that my room-mates went their own way leaving me by myself with my other online friend, the one obsessed with technology, she's a expert on it, by hand.  

Then Shane walked not even noticing me as my lids blinked before opening seeing Justine vanishing in the busy dancing crowd, following the pattern of the dancing. I'm really alone now so I go to the bartender area and sit on one of the stools, which only person here is a big muscular guy with a bald head, I guess I'll make my time here with this dude. 

The employee raises his voice, "What can I get for ya?" His eyes widen with pure glee making me uncomfortable. 

Squinting at the menu I notice a blue ocean vodka mixed with cherry lemon, oh they still make those? Those are my favorite when I'm out. 

"Can I get the Ocean Blue? Vodka with Cherry? Lemon on the side, also the rocks on the edges?" My detailed words filled him with motivation as he turned to do what I've asked for. In the background the music played Wasted by Tiesto. Blasting and blearing, I remember this song from a event from a invitation to a award ceremony they had. This song played in the the back, maybe repeated after a hour or so. 

"That's strong don't you think?" The bald man looked at me like I'm a small child going into a bar to drink, he wouldn't stop looking at me. 

My head turns to him irritated, "Excuse me?" My words fell out as he eyes me carefully, almost judgingly, then I see the bartender slide my drink to me quickly turning to serve another for the woman who just arrived.
