I Met a Vampire Down in Santa Carla

Chapter Twenty-Two

It was nice to finally have someone who understood what it's like to have a vampire for a boyfriend. The talk with Kayla was very healing. Not having to hide the truth of how I felt about the whole Steve situation and not feeling insane by it made things so much easier. She admitted she would've done the same thing. Tonight is finally girl's night. It will be me Kayla, Lilly, and Sarah. We decide to go to a bar. I put on an off-the-shoulder black top with flowy sleeves tucked into a high-waisted long skirt. The black skirt has purple skulls and a floral design with its form-fitting that flows from the knees down. I put my hair up in two space buns with two mini braids framing my bangs and face. I put on a chocker with a little chain and a bat charm. I do a purple smokey eye with heavy wing liner and a dark burgundy lip. I put on my doll platforms. They are black platforms with an anklet chain and are black. I hear the creek of the balcony door and glance up seeing David let himself in. "What are you doing?" I turn crossing my arms. 

"Just came to say hi is all" He leans over giving me a quick peck. "You look smoking hot," I roll my eyes laughing.

"Okay, Mr 80's" I look back in the mirror putting on my mascara. 

"Well, what should I say then hmm?" 

"I don't know" I shrug. "Seriously babe what are you doing here I told you it's girls night." 

"I just wanted to come see you," I raise my brow. He wasn't fooling me at all. "I want you to be careful" He admits I groan. 

"David," 

"I'm serious. There are worse things than vampires who would want nothing more than to tear into a sweet thing like you." He was trying to flatter me so I would give in. 

"Well, knowing you and Dwayne you won't be far." I pat him on the shoulder. Grabbing my bag to leave. I turned to tell him something but it was too late he was already gone. I go down to my car and pick up Kayla, Lilly, and Sarah from the shack. Once we are all together we leave. Dwayne was at the shack with Marko and Paul. The guys were going to hunt tonight. Once we got into the bar and ordered a round of drinks I finally felt comfortable to let loose. 

"I'm so glad to be out and not have to worry about the kids," Sarah admits. "Lately it seems all I do is work and be a mom. I never have time for just me ya'know." 

"I've been so busy with school starting back up I barely take care of myself if it wasn't for Josh I'd be in a sunken hole of papers and redbull." Lilly groans. "Enough of talking about our stress-filled lives though we came here to party." She jumps up grabbing Kayla to meet her on the dance floor. After many songs and many drinks, we were sat back at the table laughing. Lilly looks at the ground giggling now and then as Kayla and Sarah boast about a dropped chicken wing and who killed it. Kayla not only knocked it out of Sarah's hand but then stomped on it. Claiming to put it out of its misery. I look at my glass trying to think back to David visiting me. It isn't that I don't mind him checking in on me but part of me wasn't sure if it was out of control or worry. 

"Rory please tell her she did the final blow." Sarah laughs. She notices how deep I am in my own mind. "What ya thinkin' on?" 

"Nothing just David." 

"This is girl's night no boy talk," Lilly groans, 

"No, what about him? Do I gotta kick his ass?" Kayla sips the last of her drink. "Fuck" She gets up and orders another round. I decide to open up. 

"Well before I came here he came over to talk about me going out." 

"What did he say?" Sarah leans in seeming to genuinely care. She wasn't there when I dated John but she was in a similar relationship in her younger years.
