Living With Mr Mysterious

Chapter Eight - A Birthday and a Bad Decision (Part Two)

A Birthday and a Bad Decision
Part Two

Walking into the house, I was shocked. The outside looked so normal and calm, how on earth was it possible to have such a horrifying mess on the inside?

Fi and I walked past groups of girls, giggling and pretending not to be staring at the guys they were staring at, boys playing beer pong on a pool table, some drunk girl stumbling around and calling everybody 'dude' and several random people, sitting on chairs and sofas, sipping out of red plastic cups.

It was awful and I wanted to go home. I turned to my left to beg Fi to let me leave, but she was gone. Great. Now I was all on my own at some stranger's birthday party. With a sigh, I headed toward the kitchen. I might as well get myself a drink.

Shunning the alcohol, I poured myself a cup full of Coke and made my way back out to where the music was playing. It was some electronic stuff that I didn't really like.

Two hours later, I was on my third drink and I really needed to pee. I still hadn't seen any sign of Fi, so I walked upstairs to try and find a bathroom on my own.

I walked past a door through which I could hear a headboard creaking and a girl's muffled moans. Shuddering, I kept going until I found a bathroom. Placing my cup on a table outside the door, I went outside.

When I came back out, I took a large mouthful from my cup and immediately noticed a bitter taste that definitely wasn't there before.

My eyes widened and I glanced at my cup. Deciding I'd best be safe, I discarded the drink and went back down to the kitchen to pour myself a new one in a new cup.

I woke up slowly, my eyelids heavy and my movements sluggish. This didn't feel right. What the hell happened last night?

I remembered going to the party and I got a drink and . . . Nothing. What happened to the rest of the night? I didn't even remember coming home!

I sat up as quickly as I could and looked around my room. From the strength of the light coming through my balcony doors, I would say that it was after midday. What had caused me to sleep so long? I knew I didn't drink any alcohol last night, I hated that stuff.

I sighed, stretched and ran a hand through my tangled hair. I probably looked like something that crawled out of the black lagoon.

I got up and searched around, but I couldn't find my phone anywhere. Great. I huffed an annoyed breath and headed out into the hall. Hearing the faint sound of music coming from Mase's room gave me an idea. Maybe he would know what happened last night.

I knocked on his door and called out, "Mase? You there?" There was only silence in reply. "I know you're in there, you never leave your room," I said. "I was wondering if you could tell me anything about what happened last night? I can't remember."

There was a sound like a fist on a dense surface and Mason snapped, "Just leave me alone, Rosaline!"

I blinked in surprise. "Are you okay, Mase?" I asked in concern.

Suddenly, his door was pulled open and he stood before me, clad in a dark hoodie and skinny jeans. "I'm fine, Rosaline," he spat. "I just don't want to talk to you." With that, he slammed the door shut again.

I sighed and was about to snap back at him when I heard the front door open and close. Good, that would be Fi. Maybe she could tell me what happened.

I was met on the stairs by a very red faced and excited Fi. "Rose, guess what?" she exclaimed, bouncing up and down on the spot.

I resisted the urge to say 'I don't care' and instead replied with, "I don't know, what?"

"I lost my virginity last night!"

My jaw dropped. "You're kidding, right?"

She shook her head proudly. "Nope."

I stared at her in disbelief. "Were you drunk?"

"Nope," she repeated.

I pinched the bridge of my nose as the doorbell rang. Oh for god's sake . . .

Hey guys! What do you think? This one is the end of chapter eight and I think it was fairly packed. I had to push it to finish before it got too big! Haha, anyway, let me know if you liked it! ^_^ Or if you didn't! O.o And I love you all! <3
