Ruined

• Chapter- 2 •

That's how it happened. That's when I knew I'm not going to keep living a normal life despite what my father said to me. That's when something inside of me shifted and I slowly started to change.

For the better? No.

I'm currently at the party and thinking of something that happened only two months ago. This black haired chick grabs my attention from the middle of the room. I just sit here with a cup of whiskey between my fingers and alcohol in my system.

My friend Chase is telling me about his hookup with his girlfriend from a few minutes ago. Why do guys always brag about those things? What's there to brag about? We all have sex at some point and then find out what it feels like ourselves. But er.. A guy and his ego come together in a package. Always.

I'm no different.

"Ross! Man, happy birthday! I haven't seen you in so long. It's been like four months. ", Cole pats my shoulder. I give him a quick smile.

"Thanks. "

"Are you back to school? You know we have one more year to go? "

"I don't know. I've been missing out on a lot. I don't know if I can catch up with it. It's the end of semester in a few weeks. All the important exams are coming up. ", I sigh.

"So.. You pretty much are on Chase's level of knowledge. He was there when you weren't, yet he doesn't know shit. ", Cole smirks.

"Fuck off. ", Chase spits. "I have more important things than school. "

"Whatever. Back to Ross. ", Cole turns to me. "You need to come back. I don't think I can make it without you. I only hang out with retarded people lately. ", he quickly glances at our friend. I smile.

"I'll think about it. ", I send the whole content of my cup down my throat and put it back on the table. I suck in a harsh breath, feeling a bit dizzy already.

"What time is it? ", I ask.

"It's.. About two in the morning. ", Cole answers. My eyes widen.

My birthday is over and I forgot that Laura wanted to see me around ten pm.

"Oh my god. I gotta go. ", I slur and stand up. I still have the balance. I'm not that drunk, good.

"Where to? "

"Laura's been bugging me about us spending this evening together but I forgot.. ", I groan.

"Be careful with your little girl. Maybe she meant deeply into it when she said 'spend the evening together'. ", Chase grins at me.

"Shut up. ", I growl and pick up my car keys.

"You can't drive like that. ", Cole reminds me.

I shake my head. "I'm not wasted. I only had three or four of these cups. "

"Doesn't matter. If the cops make you pull over, they could easily give you a ticket or even worse. Your breath stinks, dude. I'll drive you to Laura's. "

"Whatever. Let's go then. ", I say and walk away.

I accidentally bump into that black haired girl and she turns to face me. Blue eyes, peach colored lipstick.. She's hot.

"Hurry. I wanna get back here afterwards. ", Cole appears next to me.

I lean my lips against the girl's ear. "You're mine for the next party. "

When I pull away, my friend pushes me farther and I notice the girl watching after me with a blush on her cheeks. I wink and turn back to my track, walking out of the house.
