The Sitter

Chapter: 15

How do you celebrate your favorite holiday when you know that your parents are getting divorced.

They'll invite the entire family and cook a big dinner. They'll put on their pageant smiles and act like everything's ok. When everyone ask how their doing they'll make up a lie.

That sad part is I've been falling for it this whole time.

Christmas is in 3 days and I'm not even a little bit excited. My teachers gave a ton of homework, I have five tests when I come back from Christmas break, oh and my parents are divorcing. I have nothing to be excited for.

It was Saturday afternoon and I was in my room trying to tackle my Biology homework. Liam sat next to me on my bed.

"Are you ok?"

"Yea" my head did not even move from my homework.

"I know just what you need to get out of this"

"And what is that?"

"A christmas party. My friends are having one tomorrow"

"Uh, I don't know. I don't think thats what I need"

"Come on. It will help. I know it"

I sighed. "Ok"

Luckily Sam was at a sleepover today so Liam didn't have to work.

It took us about an hour to get to the party. We pulled up to a beautiful house. It was two stories and there was christmas lights all over.

"Woah this place is gorgeous" I said to Liam as I got out of the car.

"Yea my best friend Eric lives here"

We walked inside to a lot of people. Everyone wearing red and white or red and green. A large christmas tree stood at the center of the bottom floor. On the balcony were people with wine and some with beer chatting.

He led us to the kitchen where there were platters of everything. Cheese platter, cracker platter, meat platter, veggie platter, brownie platter, cupcake platter, and even a pill platter.

"Um what's that?" I asked pointing to it.

"College kids love pill popping" he said leaning down to me.

"Liammmm broo" I heard someone say from behind us

"Eric whats up" they said hugging. I instantly got nervous realizing I'd never met one of Liam's friends. Well why would I ? We weren't official. Were we ?

"Who's this pretty lady?" He said kissing my hand.

"Oh this is Melanie" he said.

Just Melanie? I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Well enjoy the party Melanie. I hope I run into you later" he winked

"You hungry?" Liam asked.

"Not really but I do wan't some wine" I said taking a glass from a man walking around with a tray.

"Hey do you mind if I go talk to some people" he asked.

"No, go ahead" I smiled.

It's not like I'm your girlfriend and I need to go everywhere with you.

What should have been a few minutes turned into an hour. An hour or boredom and drinking. He left me wondering around this huge house with nothing to do, so I did what I saw.

I had four glasses of wine and I was on my second can of Budweiser. I felt so free all of a sudden. I forgot I even had worries.

Liam was still laughing it up with his friends over there and ignoring me. I should leave. I headed for the front door, barely standing up straight. I grabbed three people to help me stand just to walk 5ft.

Before I could make it to the door Liam's friend Eric cornered me.

"Hey Mel. Can I call you mel?"

I shrugged. I needed some air.

"Where you going?" said Liam appearing next to Eric.

"Oh you actually care? I'm surprised you even remember I'm here"

"What are you talking about?"

"Liam freaking Gordon" I heard a voice say from me. I turned around to see a tall girl with jet black hair approach us. She wore a skin tight red dress with nude heals.

Her hair was straight and tucked behind her ears. She had on red lipstick and her ass looked great in that dress. When I compared us I looked a mess.

"Miranda"

"I haven't seen you since you dumped me" she grinned.

This must be his ex. Interesting!

He chuckled nervously. "Eric didn't tell me you would be here"

"Well when your best friends with his sister, you get invited to all the parties" she smiled with her beautiful white teeth. Who would dump someone who looked like a goddess.

I hope that was the alcohol speaking.

She suddenly turned her attention to me as if she'd just realized there was someone else in the room.

"Who's this" she asked them instead of just asking me.

"This is Melanie" Liam said.

"Oh is this who you left me for." She looked me up and down. "You could do so much better"

"Excuse me" I slurred. Pissed at myself because I sounded so ridiculous.

"Someone's had too much to drink. You can smell it all over that hideous dress" she smirked.

"Thats enough Miranda" Liam said.

"Listen you don't know me. I can ruin your whole night just by doing one little thing" I said to her knowing exactly what I wanted to do.

I've been holding this down all night.

She laughed. "I would love to see you try"

I held my stomach and let all of the vomit come out. I aimed perfectly and I went all over her legs and shoes. I think I blacked out after that because I don't remember much.
