My Secret or Theirs?

Chapter 36- Girls Night Out

Karma's POV

"And.... Done!" Katelynn chirped as she put the eyeliner cap on. I squirmed in my seat, anxious to see my makeup.

Tomorrow I'm getting married.

I still can't believe how time flies by. Katelynn turned my chair, so I was facing the mirror. My eyes were stormed with eyeliner and dark eyeshadows. My hair framed my face in bundles of curls. My eyes popped so beautifully and my lips were the lightest shade of red, but went perfectly with the rest of my makeup.

"Thank you, Katelynn! I love it!" I gave her a big, sisterly hug.

"No problem! Got to look good for your last night before the big day!" She hugged back. "Now go get dressed, I laid out something simple for you." She said. I walked into my room and saw a light pink and white hi-low dress with matching pink heels. She knows me too well. When I walked out, Katelynn's hair was tucked neatly in a bun and Lottie, as Louis calls her, was with her. Lottie was the only one out of her sisters that would be old enough to go on a night out. And, I invited London, so hopefully she won't get lonely. I met Lottie a few days ago and I absolutely adore her. She took me to a special vampire mall and we bonded over frozen yogurt. She told me how much Louis wanted a mate and she was glad that it was me. We had a sleepover and we watched a Twilight marathon, ironic.

"Hey Lottie, you look adorable!" She had on a red t-shirt cut dress that had sequins on the top and black leggings.

"Thanks K! I think the UGG boots really top it off." She laughed and showed me her new boots she bought when we went shopping.

A door shut, which made all of our heads turn.

"We come baring gifts!" Louis' British accent shouted from the doorway.

"Aaaaah!" Before I could register what was going on, multiple high pitched screams rang and I was engulfed in hugs.

"Annabeth, London, you guys! You guys made it!" Their squeezes on me got tighter. When everyone let go, London still held on to my waist.

"I missed you Karma!" She squealed, happily.

"I missed you too, Lon." I rubbed her back. "So what's the plan for tonight?" I asked Katelynn.

"Since we are in the presence of children, I thought we could go to that 'Elegancy Night' at the outdoor mall. Then, we can drop of the kiddos and go clubbing!" Katelynn cheered.

"I'm not that young." Protested Lottie.

"In America you would be." I told her, laughing. Soon, she joined in. We started towards the limo.

"Wait!" Katelynn fumbled with a piece of cloth in her hand. She slipped the sash over me and stuck a tiara on my head.

"Aha! You really decked me in pink, huh?" She linked arms with me and we got in.

"Wow, I never knew shoe stores could look anymore beautiful." Lottie stuck her face at the glass window. We all laughed at her as she cried out to the pair of boots sitting in the display case.

"Hey look, isn't that Kellin?" I pointed out. Katelynn's eyes boggled as she ran to him.

"Kellykins!" She leaped into his arms, looking genuinely in love.

"That's my brother, Kellin, and Katelynn's mate." I told the gals. The nodded in realization.

"How's Girls Night Out doing?" Kellin asked, putting an arm around me.

"Just fine, until you ruined it." I joked.

"Fair enough. Hey, why don't you stay for the show?" Kellin suggested, excited. I turned to the girls.

"I've never heard a real band play before, I think it'd be fun." Stella squealed. We sat on the benches in front of the mini stage.

"Alright, thank you guys for coming out tonight. Tonight we have some very special ladies out here tonight, including my sister!" Kellin said into the mic. His band begin to play. As the band began to play, I noticed a guy about my age, staring in our direction. His scent was werewolf. He wasn't just staring in our direction, but at Briella.

"Briella, do you know him?" I nudged her side. She looked over my shoulder. Her eyes boggled and a big grin grew on her face.

"Mate." She breathed. I smiled too. It's a wonderful thing to find your mate. She looked at me with pleading eyes for permission. I nodded, happily. She silently thanked me before running over to the guy and leaping into his arms. He had dark brown hair and what seemed to be green eyes.

Briella's POV

"Mate." He growled at hugged on to me tighter. I breathed in his lustful scent. He smelled like the cutest things, hot chocolate and strawberries.

"I'm James, and you are, my sweet?" He tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.

"Briella." I breathed. He was just so breathtaking. His eyes seemed to hold me in a trance. He grabbed on to my hand.

"Well Briella, in celebration of our bond, I'd like to take you out tonight." He smiled a cute smile. My face lit up, but then quickly fell. This made his smile fall too.

"It's my best friend's bachelorette party tonight. We are going to a club though later." I smiled bigger.

"Perfect. Do you mind if I stay with you? I don't want anything to happen to my precious mate." He swirled a piece of my blonde hair around his finger. I nodded, still in the trance of his eyes. We walked hand in hand back to the girls.

"Guys, this is my mate James. Karma, do you mind if he stays with me?" I pleaded.

"Karma? As in, Karma Quinn?" James asked.

"Yup that's me." Karma stuck out her hand and James took it.

"I'm Damon's half brother. He told me a lot about you. I thought we would all meet at Christmas, but I guess not." He said sheepishly. I smiled happily.

This is great, I thought. My best friends are already getting along well with my newly found mate. Karma's getting married tomorrow. And maybe someday it will be me and James.

Karma's POV

"Come on Karma, pleaaaaase." Lottie begged me to take her with them.

"Sorry Lottie, but you're stop young. But, don't worry, I just ordered a new shipment of shoe catalogs from that shoe place at the outdoor mall." Her eyes lit up.

"Thank you, Karma! You're the best sister ever!" She immediately ran to the couch and flipped through the catalogs.

"Ready girls?" I asked and they nodded. My hands shook as the nervousness built up inside. I never went clubbing, let alone drinking before.

"Keep an eye on London, ok Lottie?" She looked up and nodded.

**

"This place is the best club in London!" Briella shouted over the blazing music. James twirled her and began to lead her to the dance floor. She mouthed a sorry and danced with him.

"Well we lost one." Katelynn joked. "We know who's getting some tonight."
We laughed with her and ordered some drinks. I scanned the menu, but didn't find any alcohol free drinks.

"Is there anything without alcohol?" I sighed.

"Girl it's your last night as a free woman. Well free-ish." Darla said. "But, since you're a newbie, we'll go easy on you. A Blaze for each of us, please." She batted her eyelashes at the waiter. He jotted it down before scurrying off.

"You've had alcohol before?" I asked, surprised. "Doesn't Drew forbid that?"

"Well, working in a kitchen supplied with alcohol doesn't really stop us. And we've snuck out a few times here." She giggled.

"Here are your Blazes." The waiter came back with our drinks.

"Ok so you just swallow the whole thing." Darla said, and without warning she tipped her head back and there it went. She squeezed her eyes and shook her head. "Ok so maybe Blaze wasn't a good newbie choice, but you're drinking it." I stared at the glowing blue drink, under the lights. I set the rim up to my lips and poured it in. It was sour and sweet at the same time. Then it went straight back to sour.

"Wow!" I said. The rest of the girls drank theirs and had the same effect.

"Let's dance!" Katelynn shouted and led us to the dance floor. James and Briella were too busy sucking faces to notice our presence. I turned to Darla, but she was already grinding with a stranger. Stella had gone up to a guy and he agreed for one dance. Gabby was asked by someone to dance and she didn't protest. Annabeth at least was sane.

"Aren't you going to dance with a random stranger?" I shouted. This music was just too loud, I felt old.

"I have a mate waiting for me at home." She said, dreamily. I nodded. We just awkwardly danced since I'm pretty sure none of us can dance to save our lives.

**
We stumbled back to the limo. I kind of blacked out the rest of the night, but somehow it ended up with Gabby throwing up on the waiter's shoes, Stella losing a shoe, and James wearing some random person's shirt.

"I swear I do not know how i lost my shirt. I mean I don't even work at Wells Fargo." He pointed to the name tag on the shirt. Briella just leaned on him for more support.

"Whatever babe, I'll visit you next time I drive by Wells Fargo." Then she blacked out and fell into his arms. Luckily, I stopped drinking so that I don't have a hangover tomorrow, so I was thankful. We drove home, but James insisted on taking Briella home and Katelynn said she would go with him to make sure the rest of them don't get caught by Drew. Lottie got picked up by her mom and London fell asleep, so I had to wake her. Once everyone left I went straight to my bed. I just collapsed, too lazy to do my night time routine.

Tomorrow I'm getting married.
