Rise

Chapter 20

I'm pretty sure I'm drunk.

Shit I haven't had shots in months.

I miss Ella, maybe I should go back but why go back when I'm at a party with hot girls- that aren't Ella.

I can't drive though damnit.

I need something to sober me up.

-

There's a banging on my door and I'm hoping it's Harry.

But he has a key so he wouldn't have to knock.

I sigh and force myself over to the door.

I don't even bother checking through the peep hole.

As soon as I unlock it Jessica runs in and hugs me.

I push her off.

"Ella what's wrong?" She says, stepping towards me.

I have to hold my arm back so I don't punch her in the face and end up ripping her blue hair out.

"You is what's wrong!" I snap.

Her face is filled with confusion.

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah excuse you."

I turn away and walk into the main room, trying to straighten things up and get this issue off my mind.

"Ella I don't get it."

I can hear her standing behind me.

"I dont get you and Harry either."

She stands in front of me and places her hands on my shoulders.

"What the fuck are you saying Ella?"

"What the fuck are you doing, Jessica?"

I feel like laughing, even in a situation like this. Her confusion and anger builds me up in happiness.

The fowl kind of happiness.

"Explain because I have no idea."

I can tell by the way she's tugging the ends of her hair that she already does know.

"Sleeping with Harry?" I bark.

All the color drains from her face, her fists tighten at her sides.

"Yeah, I did. Why does this matter to you who I have and haven't slept with?"

"Stop turning the fucking tables on me!"

Jessica yanks at her own hair and sighs. "Harry touched you."

I shiver at how she displays me and Harry's intimacy so easily.

She must be used to talking this way.

"Yeah but you know how I felt- feel about him!"

"Then why did you tell me you hated him and wanted nothing to do with him?"

"You don't get it do you?" I snap, trying to hold the tears back.

I have no idea why I am on the verge of crying.

"No I honestly don't."

"Okay leave." I motion towards the door.

"Um what?"

-

"I dare you to fuck her, she really takes away the outside world you know? Just you and her." Zack says, pointing to some girl dressed in slut clothing.
