My Secret Girlfriend

Chapter Twenty: New

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I snarled, eyeing up Amber standing in my doorway. She rolled her eyes and pulled her purse farther up her shoulder, "obviously interrupting something." Her big green emerald eyes rolled over Libby and I in our towels, "not like it was any good anyways." I glared at her, as I draped my arm around Libby's shoulder, "can you just leave us the fuck alone, Amber?" She smirked at me and ran a hand through her mess of blonde curls, "Libby wouldn't want me to go, would you Lib?" She asked with false innocence. Libby rubbed the back of her neck with her hand, clearly uncomfortable, "guys, don't do this to me." My mouth dropped open as I turned to face Libby, "after everything she's done, and you still can't tell her to leave?" She frowned at me and reached out for my hand, "Piper it's not that easy I--" But I jerked back, pulling my hand out of her reach, "you still love her, don't you?" I said in shock. "Piper, it's hard to explain." Libby pleaded, her eyes becoming wet. I snickered and shook my head, "I can't believe this." I muttered to myself as I walked towards the bathroom. "Piper, c'mon.. Don't do this.." Libby begged as I dropped the towel from my body, not caring if Amber was still standing in our doorway. I threw my t-shirt on over my head and pulled on an old pair of sweats, "have fun with her Libby." I said, nodding towards Amber. I threw my bag over my shoulder and trudged past her, hitting her shoulder on the way out. "Piper where will you live?!" I heard Libby call out to me as I stormed off. I didn't even care at that point. I just wanted to get out of there.

"No, I just need one bed." I said to the clerk at the desk of the motel I was trying to stay at. "Okay, let me check again.." She said, clicking keys on her computer. Since I was staying at Libby's, and I was completely broke, I was lucky enough to come up with $107.65, barely enough to rent a motel room in New York. "Okay, we have one room open, 301, down the hall to your left." She said, handing me a room key. I gave her a polite smile and headed off in the direction she pointed to. I wasn't planning on staying in the room for long though. Just enough time to shower, get ready, and hopefully get into Liquid without having to pay the fee; I needed to get drunk tonight. Walking into the musty room, I threw my bag on the bed, causing the old mattress to squeak loudly. I walked to the window, taking in the sight of the urban city alley below me; this was definitely not Libby's condo. Walking back over to my bag, I stripped off my baggy clothes, and admired my almost-nude body in the full length mirror. My skin still had the golden California glow, which contrasted against the white lace of my bra and underwear. I unzipped my bag, and pulled out my spandex-nylon black American Apparel dress. The stretchy material clung to my skin as I slipped it over my head. I leaned over towards the mirror, teasing my wavy purple hair in the mirror, and painting a think layer of black eye liner above my eyelids. I pulled out a tube of red lipstick, and covered my lips with the deep crimson color. Stepping back, I admired my reflection. I didn't look like myself. I didn't feel like myself. What I saw was an angry, fierce, 22-year old woman; in reality, my 17-year old, naive self was starting to feel self conscious, but I shoved those feelings away. Tonight I was anyone but myself, I was someone different, reckless, and interesting. Tonight, it was my turn to break someone's heart.
