Hurt Again ( on hold)

Party Invitation | Chapter 11

Reading the address that Ashlyn sent me, I made my way to the destination. I really wasn't in the mood for socialising but there's was nothing for me to do at home, and honestly I feel more safe around people. Being alone sometimes makes me feel like the person is watching me, which he/she is. But I guess this will hopefully take my mind off of it.

I turn on the radio and 'the letter' by Kehlani comes on. I drown in her soothing relatable words as I drive, the cars rushing past me slowing. The world around me starts to blur and I wish I could just escape.
Tears slowly, run down my face as I grip the steering wheel tightly. I've turned him against me. It's all my fault that this is happening. I must of done something to this person to have him/her stalk me and take away everything and everybody I care about. Maybe I didn't deserve him. After all I put him through. Karmas a bitch.

As I approach the address that Ash sent me I see that it's a paintball centre. A small smile tugs at my lips and my mood lightens a bit. At least I have some friends left in my sorry life.

" Heyy girl ! Sorry I didn't tell you we were coming here but I wanted it to be a surprise" Ashlyn says and gives me a hug.
" it's fine, it's a good surprise" I say truthfully.
" wassup ma" Tyler says and we do dap and shi, same with the rest of the boys. I give Kayla a hug and we walk over to the counter to pay.
" hey, how've you been" Jesse's comes up besides me.
I'm sort of shocked he's still talking to me but I feel like I can be comfortable and relaxed.
" yeah I'm straight, how about you?" I put on a fake smile but he doesn't return it. It's like he can see straight through me.
" I'm decent" he says and I nod.

We all give out money to the man at the counter, that eyes me weirdly but I ignore it.
" okay, we're playing 2 games and were against some other group" Kayla says and we all nod.

" we should go into groups" Keion says.

"I'm with Kayla" Tyler says smirking down at her and she looks away blushing. I frown and look away. There's no point in looking at something you will never be able to have.
I catch Daniels eye but look away. Damn me for being such an open book.
" I'm with Ariyah" he says and walks over to me and comes to hold my hand. It's not a romantic gesture because that would be disgusting, but a comforting one. Everyone eyes us but I ignore it.
He gives Ashlyn a knowing look and she smiles and goes with Keion. Those two are so much alike. They will help out a friend any way possible.Jesse being the odd one out, he joins Tyler and Kayla.

We go and suit up and grab out pair all guns. A spark of hope is ignited inside of me. Maybe there is hope for me.
The man that works here tells us what to do and what not to do. I don't listen to him and I stay put next to Dan. Out of all the jaggz I feel the safest with him.

" okay, when you here the alarm, that will be your signal to leave the shed. Looking around the shed were in, it had army equipment scattered around the place for decoration and a few hay stacks. For why they are there I don't know.

" stay close" Dan says excitedly and I smile, my adrenaline pumping through my veins. I should just forget about my problems for a while just to enjoy this.

The alarm goes off and we all walk out cautiously. Hand still in Dans, he drags me behind a hay stack. We crawl low, out guns ready to shoot. I feel like I'm in the middle of ww1, by the way he has a serious look on his face. Our suits are red and the other teams is blue, so he says as I wasn't paying any attention before.

We spot a blue suit and Daniel takes his shot to hit him. He fist pumps the air and I laugh at him.
Before the other person can see us we scramble away laughing like two kids. Dan was so concentrated it was hillerious when I didn't listen to him and made loud noises so people could find us.
" if you continue like this, your going to make me regret ever partnering up with you" he warns half playfully.
