CHAPTER 18

CONFUSION

MIA COLLINS

"Adam, what's the matter? You could've told me there. Why did you bring me here? It's so dark and weird." I say pointing at a few abandoned tables in the far corner.

"Miaaa" Adam drags my name and I stare at him. He's gripping the wall with his right hand and he's holding me in his left. He's drunk and he's too high. His mouth smells like beer. I try to loosen his grip on me but he pushes me against the wall.

What the hell is going on?

"Adam, are you alright?" I ask him but he has zipped his lips.

He looks down at me and he pulls my chin to face him straight. His blue eyes examine my entire face and I stiffen myself.

What the hell is he doing? Mia, do something!

"Adam – "

"Mia, I've been waiting a long time to tell you this." He says and holds the side of my neck and his other hand presses against the wall like a barrier for me not to escape from him.

"I... I love you." He finally says in his drunken voice.

Those words fell like craters on my ear.

How could he do this?

I look away from his gaze but he pulls my chin up again. He leans closer and I immediately push him away from me. There's a lump forming in my throat. I wanna cry hard. He falls behind.

He's stoned so he can't move that quickly from the floor. So I use this chance to move away from the dark place. I retreat to where I was standing. People are vacating to the dance floor.

"Mia!" I hear a voice behind me and I feel so comfortable to hear the voice.

"Where have you been?" James asks me worried. I want to say him I need a hug but instead I fell onto him and held him tight.

He has two glasses of vodka in his hand so he definitely can't give me the hug but at least I felt comfortable. My face is sticking to his bare chest.

"Mia, are you alright?" he asks me nervously when I sob.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. I went to the restroom and I lost my way back." I lie unwillingly.

"No, that's okay. Are you hurt? I mean did someone say you something on your way back? You don't cry if you're simply lost in the crowd, do you?"

I release him from my arms and I took the glass of vodka from him. I gulp down the entire thing in a second. He smirks at me.

"Looks like I need to go all the way back to fill this again." He says and I shake my head smiling.

"No, you don't have to. I don't need more."

"Okay, which means you'll need some beer." He says and I refuse to take anything.

"Shall we dance?" he asks me after a few minutes of staring at the dance floor. I simply stare at him and I nod hesitantly. We go to the dance floor without exchanging words. So, I spend this time to think about what happened a few minutes ago.

How could he do this to me?

I feel so irritated to know that I've been a different kind of girl to Adam's eyes. I thought he was my best friend but how could he have touched me all this time with different feelings for me? I feel sick at the thought.

And how did you hug James all of a sudden?
