A Night To Remember

Chapter 2

It's been a month since the incident happened. The mark on my neck is still visible. I am scared but a part of me is hoping to see him again. Its very weird of me to think of the man who makes my life like a living hell. Ever since that night, I can feel that something's changed. I can see things that other people can't see. My vision is more clearer at night and I can no longer stay under the sun for too long. These are the reasons why I stopped teaching for a while. That's why I wanted to see him. I wanted answers but the question is can I face him without being scared?

I am standing near my window. Watching the moon shines so bright. Thinking of the things that happened to me. How my life changed in just a night.

"Flame!" My friend Jake yelling while knocking at my door excitedly.

Sighing, I opened the door.

"What do u want Jake?" Tiredness is clear in my voice.

" Oh! Don't give me that face, I am here to invite you to a party"

"Jake! You already know I don't like parties right?" I told him while trying to close the door. I really hate parties and aside from that I am still scared to go out.

"Yeah,yeah, I know but come on, you need to live a little.I promise that you will enjoy this party... Please just say yes.."

"What if I'll say no? What will you do?"

"Nothing, coz I know you will never say no to me" He said it while making puppy eyes.

"Ohh..you are really sure with that?" Okay then.... ....Its a NO!"

"No?" He asked teasingly at me.

I nod my head in response.

"So this means that you don't like lasagna anymore? Huh?" He said it while smirking at me.

He knows how I like his homemade lasagna and if it comes to it I really can't say no to him. So without a word I closed the door and changed.

It's passed ten already when we arrived at the party and it is already packed. People are dancing and drinking. I made a disgusted face when the smell of vomit hits my nostril. This is why I don't like parties.
Jake is still at my side as what he promised to me while we were in the car but I cannot help myself to feel guilty.

"Jake? I think I need to go to the comfort room!" I said to him when the truth is I just wanted him to enjoy the party.

"This early? Do you want me to go with you?"

"No! I'm fine Jake!" I smiled at him.

I went to the comfort room and check myself in the mirror. Tingles run to my skin as I touched the mark. Until now I still can't forget the things that had happened. I went out from the comfort room and looks for a place that is not too much crowded. I sat on a rock and watched the moon. My mind was at peace once I saw it. I shut my eyes closed and feel the coldness of the air against my skin.

"How are you?"

My body froze as I inhale the very familiar smell. The smell that cannot be forgotten.
