- December 16th, 2022.
A little over 6 months later.
I'm sitting silently in the car behind Archer. Who is, by the way, the biggest asshole in the entire world. When he first started this job, i was basically in love with him. I thought everything was just fine, and then after my first show back, he just starts to completely fucking ignore me.
I ask him a question, no response.
I literally broke down crying in the backseat one night, begging him to speak to me. He wouldn't. He has gave me NOTHING. I don't understand what I done, and i don't really care anymore.
I'm talking to someone knew, anyway. His name is Chris, and he's also a musician. I've been keeping it reallyyyy on the low, especially not mentioning it to my mom, but i just want to see him in person at least one time, make sure he's really cute and all.
It's a Friday night, and i decide that i'm an adult, and i'm going to leave. No-one can stop me.
Chris is parked outside my house, and i climb out of my window and carefully down the three in the yard. i successfully make it to the ground quietly, and i walk to his car.
"hi" i say quietly as i get in, a huge smile on my face.
"hey, beautiful. buckle that seatbelt for me" he says, as he drives away.
i buckle my seatbelt, and look back towards him.
"so, where are we going. it's pretty late. is anything even open?" i say, smoothing my hair down a bit.
"i figured we could go to my friends house, he's throwing a little house party for a record release" he murmurs, cutting up the music.
is he... drowning me out?
"yeah, that's cool." i try and speak over the music, he just shoots me an uninterested smile.
-A few minutes of silence passes, before i feel his hand on my thigh. I immediately feel more nervous. This might have been a bad idea.
His hand gently runs up my thigh, and i clear my throat.
"hey, um.. this is nice and all, let's just take it slow, yeah?" i say softly, grabbing his hand on my thigh and intertwining his fingers with mine.
I can literally see his face drop with disappointment, but i try not to think too much of it.
-Before i know it, we're pulling into a sketchy building, music already heard from the car.
i look over to chris and smile,
"seems really fun" i murmur as he cuts the music down.
"yeah, uh-huh, let's go" he says, getting out the car and shutting the door. He's already halfway to the entrance before i get out of the car
"hey, hold on a second" i call to him,
he sighs loudly and stops walking.
I reach up to him and grab his hand to intertwine our fingers. He kind of pushes me away.
We walk into the party, and i'm already ready to go home. People are greeting him left and right, and yet i'm getting *nothing* from anyone. Chris is kind of just guiding me to a random couch at the back end of the house. We both plop down on it.
I look over at him, a small smile plastered on my face.
"thank you for bringing me here. i'm really enjoying it so far." i say, (and lie) to him
"yeah, my pleasure. Want something to drink?" He says, sitting up a bit straighter.
"No thank you, i'm not a big drinker" i say truthfully.
he shrugs and gets himself a drink.
he's taking few gulps, and then he holds it to my lips.
"it's not strong, just have a sip" he murmurs, his eyes falling to my lips as he watches the cup press against them.
I push it away slowly, "really, no thanks" i'm starting to feel annoyed, but i try to not think about it.
Even if i wanted to leave, I couldn't. Nobody could know i was here, i would get killed by my mother.
"i'll be right back," chris says as he stands up and disappears into the crowd.
- 40 minutes pass of me on that couch by myself, im starting to feel beyond annoyed. i consider texting Archer, but I know how he's going to react... so I push through.
Chris finally reappears,
"hey, let's go somewhere a bit more quiet" he says, pointing to the rooms down the hall, obviously drunk.
"yeah, alright." i say, standing up. I know this is probably a bad idea, but all i wanted tonight was a conversation. Some attention. Anything.
He leads me to a small room, and immediately shuts the door as i sit down.
"you're so beautiful , you know that?" he murmurs, sitting down beside me.
"thank you chris, thank you" i say with a little attitude in my voice, obviously not feeling it anymore.
"can i have a kiss?" he whispers drunkenly
I've wanted to kiss him for a while , so i'm not exactly against the idea, but he's really drunk, and I'm
really annoyed, i'm in the process of saying no when he presses his lips against mine.
Before i can even realize it, im leaned back on the bed, his tongue is in my mouth, and his hand is moving under my shirt.
I don't even realize when the door opens.
"get the fuck up, right now." A familiar voice says.
