. Voila's Pov.
Now I think I have become immune of the developing anxiety that arises because of Cliff's sudden absence but this time Sky is gone too. Evy haven't said a word about it but I saw her checking her phone multiple times. Women in love are stupid I believe, I'mnt in love let me be clear in the first place, but still when you somewhat start being habitual of somebody's presence it stinks. I can't crack the reason of these building insecurities. I'm not among people who expect things from others but I'm now, I thought that Cliff can be the lighter shade of pink missing from my life but he is the darker shade of black that I never knew I wanted.
Evy was sitting on the couch scrolling through her phone when she suddenly said "Via let's go somewhere" "Where to ?" I enquired "To some fun place like a bar a high profile one, where we can find man who knows how to treat woman unlike people who can't manage a single text" she suggested. I took a long breath and declared "You check the location I'm going to get ready" Half an hour later I and Evy made our way to the car screaming "It's gonna be a fun night" I warned my mind "No unwanted thoughts Voila"
As we stood near the bar which have a strange name in bold "Above You" Don't you think it's a strange name but never mind. The management was not giving us entry cause we don't have passes but we managed to enter by paying them a huge amount Huhh!! who says money doesn't make people happy we almost paid money equal to their yearly membership that's too much for a night but who's counting today, They asked our names I entered some random names and signed the cheque, the receptionist nodded his head in approval the guards motioned us towards the door. One of them started giving us strange look he even made a call to someone but who cares I'll handle whatever comes our way cause my parents has raised a strong daughter financially and mentally.
As I pushed open the heavy doors, the thumping music and dim lights enveloped me, immediately making my skin prickle with unease. The air was thick with the smell of expensive cologne and desperation. I scanned the room, my eyes adjusting slowly to the darkness, and that's when I saw them - the rich brats, dancing on tables, stripping off their designer shirts, and laughing with a reckless abandon that made my stomach twist. They were the epitome of everything I despised, and yet, I had come here seeking their world, seeking escape. But now, as I stood frozen in the entrance, I wondered if I had made a terrible mistake. The bartender, a gruff-looking man with a thick beard, raised an eyebrow at me, and I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized I didn't belong here, not at all. But Evy needs a change and so do I, smiling to myself to develop confidence in my lungs I took a deep breath and walked elegantly to the counter dragging Evy and asked for our drinks we took our shots one, two, three, and slowly we started to forget the counts. Evy gestured me that she wanna dance so we shifted to the dance floor and started swaying our bodies in the random rhythms many boys approached us some offered a drink but we declined them polietly then came a young looking boy he waved at us and introduced himself as "Hans Marie" he didn't gave any off vibes although he was pretty drunk but he seemed nice. He slowly asked my hand then he asked permission to grab my waist I hesitated a bit but accepted a dance with him. He gave me a princess treatment all along he even told me he's just 19. I guessed he's kind of rich kid and I joked saying "I don't dance with kids" he laughed it off and asked me if I want to dance on a specific song I blurted the first song in my mind "Exile by Taylor Swift" cause that's what I was listening to on the way. As I started dancing hand in hand with Hans I noticed some hushal - bushal in the crowd. There entered kind of panicked men I felt like 'Thunderstorm and Hell' together. It was Sky and Cliff, Evy hasn't noticed them yet and I decided to ignore them too. I balanced my hand on Hans and started my moves sweat dripping my body and my hairs were a mess with my raged breath. I saw Cliff forming a fist, I thought to make the battle evident and started roaming my hands on the face of my dance buddy I started singing with a broken voice,
I can see you starin', honey
Like he's just your understudy
Like you'd get your knuckles bloody for me
Second, third, and hundredth chances
Balancin' on breaking branches
Those eyes add insult to injuryAnd that was the minute when the gunshot rang and people started running for their life I have never imagine that they may carry guns with them so casually like its a toy and carrying is one thing they are using it so normally makes me wonder what work are they into, how do they know so good gun skills? Is something hidden from me?. I need to ask them they are criminal or what.
I already knew that Evy cannot be serious in any case and she proved it when she extended the song,"I think I've seen this film before"
"And I didn't like the ending"I gave her a shut up look and then I saw Cliff aiming at Hans who still has hands around me, he defended us saying "Let's deal with it don't touch the girls" I don't want to show him that I am scared so I added to the song,
I'm not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?Cliff muttered "Stopp" and reloaded his gun and then I was worried cause I know Cliff is hot headed so I came infront of Hans and said "Don't! He's not even 20 yet" The very next movement Sky aimed at me Cliff yelled "Sky what's wrong with you" He gave a knowing look and declared "Evy walk to me if you don't want this bullet to graze her skull" his words were like pang in my heart but that eventually worked as Evy gulped and obeyed his instructions and marched to him, as she got closer to him he holded her hand with a firm grip and aimed that gun on her head and that was the moment when I lost my mind because I may forgive you if you hurt me but I won't if you hurt her, people think that I was only one who has helped her throughout but the other side of the story is she has always been there for me and that was more than I asked for. She was my friend since school and when her parents passed in a car crash her aunt abondend her, but my parents decided to take her in and she's living with us since we're 16 she's a family to us, I can't let any harm to touch her she's my responsibility now so I slowly walked to him cause a man with a gun is dangerous as I reached to Sky Cliff grabbed me and Sky kept the gun in his waistband and dragged us outside Sky put Evy inside his car and Cliff did same with me, my head started spinning slowly Cliff sat on the driver seat and started driving I saw his nerves popping out and I knew he is angry and somehow I am the reason so to cool him down I decided to put my hand on his thigh and I wishpered "Calm down" He removed my hand and replied "don't". After that alcohol started taking over me and I started throwing random shit that I don't remember he dropped me home and probably lifted me to the bed he shouldn't do that but it's kind of okay Cause it's morally correct that a friend dropped his drunk female friend home, but the bitter part is we haven't discussed that we're friends I know Sky is one to me but I do not know my relationship status with Cliff.
My head hurt hard and I couldn't think clearly my mind filled with questions that "why did they came there" , "how did the know we're there" I decided to keep the 'what's' and 'why's' apart when Cliff removed my heels slowly and threw the bed sheet over me and muttered something I could not decipher "Perché mi fai preoccupare, principessa"((why do you make me worry princess)) it's sometimes really annoying when he speaks Italian and I could not understand I feel like hitting him back by learning the language but learning a language is a work of patience that I could not afford I have planned to learn different language that would probably tease him the only thing I could make out of whatever he said was "sleep well princess" and I realised that was the best thing to do cause the pictures of today's incident are all blury in my mind so I drifted off with millions of unclear thought. Evy will help me in understanding things in the morning cause that's how we function I always misinterpret things and she clears them drastically, it's always nice that way cause I don't want to play the part of the mature one among us. Huhh!! A Hard day.
