Emily •

I wake up in an unknown room covered with the softest blankets I've ever come across.

I'm assuming Atlas or Zack took me to a guest room after I unknowingly passed out last night.

It's a new day but I'm still stuck on my grandma's passing, she was all I've ever had and I don't think I'll ever truly heal from it.

I grab my phone that now resides on the bedside table and turn it on seeing that it is currently seven at night.. I don't think I've ever slept so long.

Maybe I'll go out to try and make myself feel better, I say I deserve it after everything I've been through.

I get up, grab my belongings and slip on my shoes, sending Atlas and Zack a quick text telling them I'll be out for the night and if I'm still welcome I'll be back.

I exit the house and begin my walk home.

I've now reached my house and made it to my room. Now looking through the closet I find a top I don't even remember buying, it's a beautiful black lace tube top with floral print.

I decide that's what I'll be wearing tonight and pair it with a plain black mini skirt and black square-toe heels with cross straps that stop just below my knees.

I put on a silver cross necklace and medium sized silver hoops.

Once I finish I grab my bag and fill it with everything I'll need for the night, I spray myself with perfume and leave the house, calling a taxi.

•••

I reach the bar and walk up to the doors being stopped by a tall and broad man,

"ID please." He says, his voice deep

I grab my ID from my bag showing them I'm of age, he nods his head and allows me to enter.

As soon as I enter I'm met with blaring lights and people screaming lyrics at the top of their lungs.

I go to the bar and sit down at the stool infront

"What can I get for you?" The bartender asks

Hmm I'm not quite twenty one but god do I need a drink

I give him my order and he passes me a shot, I take the shot and feel the burning liquid run down my throat, scrunching my face

The back and forth thing goes on for awhile I ask for a shot and he gives me one.

I don't even know what time it is now, but it feels like it's been hours. People have started to leave and let's face it, I'm shit-faced drunk.

I pay the bartender and get up from my seat making my way to the door stumbling all the way there.

I open the door and feel a cool gust of air hit me, gosh that feels amazing. The stars are shining and the night sky is filled with the ray of street lights. It's absolutely beautiful.

I begin my "walk" back to Atlas's house barely being able to get there at all.

This is going to be awhile.

Sooner or later.. well definitely later.

I arrive at his house and knock on the door almost falling as I do so, the door opens a few moments later and I see a shirtless Zack and Atlas standing right infront of me.

They're eyes turn a darker shade and they look at me with a hungry gaze before it's covered in just a few seconds

"Come in, I don't want you getting sick out there." Atlas says softly ushering me inside

I stumble all the way to the couch and plop down thankful I can get out of these heels

I whine loudly and softly whimper because I can't undo the stupid straps.

"Ugh!" I huff out

I give up.

Atlas comes over and watches as I struggle "Stop." He says and I continue to throw a tantrum not even trying to calm down

I end up kicking my legs up a few times before throwing my hands in the air and cursing at the top of my lungs

"I said fucking stop. I was being nice, now I'm not going to be." Atlas says before grabbing my legs with one hand and holding them down, gathering my hands in the other he pins them above me.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, and why do you reak of alcohol!?" He half-yells

"M-my heels, I don't like them. They're hurting me." I slur

"That's one answer what about the other? Why do you smell of alcohol?"

Zack comes over and softly removes both of my heels rubbing my feet to make the pain go away.

"I w-went to a bar."

"Why? And why did you choose to wear such revealing clothes around others il mio caro fiore?" (My darling flower)

"I was upset and w-wanted to find something to distract myself." I pause "And I wanted to dress up.. do you not like it..?" I whimper feeling insecure and slutty

I don't want them to think I'm a woman who seeks male attention.

He clears his throat as his eyes run up and down my body. "No princess, I think you look beautiful you just get a certain reaction from me is all."

I blush at his words and realize I'm still trapped under him causing me to turn even red-er

He realizes and releases me from his grip "I'm sorry about that." He says softly

"I-It's okay I like it.." I say shyly

I feel something different. New.

He clears his throat and gets up

Zack's Pov:

Atlas states that me and him will be right back and leads me into his room

"I can't Zack."

"What do you mean?"

"I think I'm falling for her."

"Atlas.." I understand how you feel, but I have a slight issue..

I'm falling for my best friend just as I am Emily.
