Upon A Dream (Sequel to A Beauty and the Tragedy)

Chapter Nine: When Do I Ever Have Plans?

Hey guys! I've kinda slowed down on the updating but now school is over so I hope to get back on track! This one is a little long!

"So Irina, got any plans for tonight?" Alex asked, plopping down on the couch beside me. "Uh, by plans do you mean binge watching Supernatural and pigging out on Chipotle? If so then yeah, I'm all booked." I shot, grabbing the remote and opened my burrito. Alex gave a small smile. 

"Well you-" A knock sounded from the front door. I shifted my head to listen as Penelope pulled open the front door. 

"Hey guys! You must be Allie! I'm Penelope!" I shot up and glanced at Alex who had an odd look on his face. I walked over to the kitchen and turned to see Allie. "Allie?" "Hey!" I attacked her in a hug. 

"Oof, okay I'm not gonna disappear." she said, squeezing me back. I let go and straightened myself up. "Irina, this is Kylie." "Hi." I said, waving to her. "I'm Devin's girlfriend." "And this is Ryan, Josh's girlfriend." The girl with silver and black hair smiled. 

"What are you guys doing here?" "You haven't told her?" Allie asked. "You know if I told her beforehand she'd flip." Penelope said, her smile coming back. 

"Tell me what?" "Motionless in White is taking over Peabody's in Virginia Beach tonight." 

"Oh, no. I'm-." "Oh well you've already been drafted." Allie said. 

"Come on, I don't even have anything to wear." "We got that worked out." Ryan said, lifting a big on her arm. 

"No." I replied plainly. "Oh well, now go get in that shower. We've only got an hour to get ready." 

"Can I at least eat my burrito first?" The girls gave me a look. "I'll go find the mouthwash." Penelope said, running down the hall. 

By the time the girls had finished with me, I could barely recognize myself in the mirror. My hair had been curled and my eyes were covered in dark eyeshadow. Ryan had lent me a black corset with off the shoulder sleeves and some black skirt. I had the thigh highs from Violet and also a pair of her old combat boots. 

When we came downstairs, Alex and Penelope gasped. "I don't even recognize you!" Penelope exclaimed, grabbing me in a hug. 

"Ah, don't smudge the masterpiece." Allie said, throwing her light purple hair over her shoulder. Kylie and Ryan smiled as we left the house and all climbed into Allie's SUV. "Hey Allie, why are there four cat carriers back here?" I asked, glancing into the back. 

"I like my cats." she said darkly. The girls all cackled in unison and made small talk as we made our way towards the night. 

By the time we reached the oceanfront, we were all singing to Taylor Swift and Ryan had passed around a mini bottle of some fruity vodka. By the time it got to me there was less than a sip but I took it either way. 

We parked and jumped out of the car, Kylie checking her make up before we rounded the building. A long line of people stretched, the quell loaded with spikes and chains. I followed the girls to the front as Allie handed me a lanyard. 

"Put it on." she said as the walls of the club pulsated with music. The large bouncer gave us a nice smile and after checking my ID we were granted entry. 

A small hallway opened to a large room. I could see some neon signs above where I assumed the bar was and then a large stage where Josh stood. He was looking at a turntable, talking to another guy I didn't recognize beside him. I could spot Josh from anywhere, his tattooed head bare at the moment.
