I DANCED raunchily against my friends,pushing our bodies up against each other roughly as the music boomed. our night was beginning to end as the house party had started to die down.
it was Cassie's birthday and she threw a big one to celebrate her twentieth. bottles and the weed roaches had been scattered across the room; against the fire place, coffee tables and even placed above lamps. when i say it was a lot of people, it was a lot. the entire graduated class had basically been invited; Cassie was well known and her house was big. you couldn't have expected less.
"are you ready to go yet," my boyfriend huffed, grabbing at my unarm to pull me away from the three girls.
"mmm Vance stop it! let me finish this and we'll leave." wasn't going to lie, i had been tipsy for the past hour; it had started to fade with the waters and food Vance kept offering. i understand he was watching out for me but he was such a buzz kill. literally.
"Enid. you're going to get hammered- please stop and let's leave-
such an asshole! she wants to have fun!" Cassie giggled, tugging at my arm to pull me further into the crowd.
"Cas, he's gonna kill me over that,"
"shhh, you're fine."
and we continued dancing. with every glance i made towards Vance, he kept that killer look in his eye. i could see within the way he looked he was pissed; angry. every little emotion there was, he had it.
he stood against the wall with his arms tightly woven against his chest-that cup dangling from his fingers as he glared my way. i began to feel self conscious, my confidence disappearing as he nodded his head, 'no.' "you guys, ive got to go. he's pissed " i huff, feeling defeated with only a glance "-call me tomorrow, il come by to clean up," cheek and one last 'happy birthday'.
"are you done?" i sighed, taking a sigh of relief as the fresh air wafted against my face, "Enid. don't." he sighed, grabbing at my wrist as i wobbled my way to the car,
"that hurts!" his strength was enough to leave purple, reddish marks as made as I got pushed into the passenger seat of the car; the door slammed quickly behind me enough to make the car shake slightly.
He entered through the driver, placing the keys into the ignition and taking off. "you're being rude...can you just talk to me?" i sigh, rubbing at my wrist.
"why is it so hard for you to fucking listen to what i want?!" he snapped, his grip on the wheel tightening.
i sat quietly. We've been together for 10 months now and this is the worst time he's lashed out on me - he was always Sweet with a loving energy but now, it felt as if i could feel the heat radiating off his body. his breathing had sped up as i stared at him, shocked at the way he shouted. "V..you know it's her birthday. i don't understand?" "your friends act as if i don't exist! they're disrespectful and you play along!" He explained
