"It is this or...you know what. Now it is your call to make" He leans against the hood of his car as he casually twirls my baseball cap around his index finger with his beautiful eyes trained on me. But his eyes were anything but calm. Those eyes of...

I shift my glare from my best friend Diana to my other equally crazy best friend Mae and scowl at them
"No means no" I slam my locker shut a little too harshly just to prove my point-more like my dislike for their proposition. They wanted to go this party which has been the newest and hottest gossip for a week now
"Oh come on grumpy pants. Live a little" Diana whines at me as she stomps her feet childishly
I bit down a smile at her immature behaviour and turn to Mae who is pouting up at me with puppy dog eyes
It is kinda surprising to see Mae agreeing to go to a party seeing as she is a good girl. I know it is very stereotypical of me but it is true. Especially with her big baby blue eyes and waist lenght blonde hair. She was the living definition of a good girl.
Diana on the other hand was like polar opposite from Mae. With her olive skin, dark long luscious hair, her signature red lipstick and bold personality she was the envy of many girls and of course the eye candy for many guys
I roll my eyes at them and let out a long defeated sigh before nodding my head at them
Diana smirks at me and Mae grins at me gratefully
Well guess I am going to this party then.
*** I throw a last glance at my appearance before reaching for my purse. I walk out of my room and head for Abigail's room
I knock on her door before I hear a soft 'come in' and I turn the knob
My eyes land on the familiar room with light blue walls and white ceiling. I quickly spot the red head sitting on a blue bean bag matching the color of her room.
She glances up at me and raises her brow at my outfit.I roll my eyes at her. Of course always the inquisitive
I was wearing a simple sea green knee length dress with a bow tied around my waist. I left my brunette hair in it's natural waves and put on some lip gloss and eyeliner. I wasn't one to dress too much and only for some occasions did I ever actually dressed up. This being one of them
"Going for a party?" Abby asks curiously as she eyes me from head to toe
"Yeah but I will be back pretty soon so I want you to be a good girl and go to sleep after finishing up your homework. Okay?" I literally hear the wheels churning in her head and I can bet on her next question.
"Am I all alo-" before she even asks me I reply for her
"No you are not going to be alone. I already called up Scarlett and she will be here any moment" I smile at her smugly as she scowls at me
I loved my baby sister to the moon and back but she can be a rebel at times.
Just as I put on my golden flats the bell rings and I hear familiar voices drifting into the hallway.
I open the door and see Diana and Mae having an amicable conversation with twenty year old sister Scarlett or Lettie as we call her.
She grins at me in greeting before wiggling her brows at me.Yeah lets just say it's not often I go to a party.
"Come on babe let's get going already" Diana wounds her arm around mine as she literally drags me out of my two bedroom apartment.
Before leaving we all wave a quick goodbye to Lettie who eagerly waves back at us
** "Diana just because I came to this party does not mean I am going to drink" I shoot a pointed look at a guilty Diana as she swiftly puts the alcohol back in it's place
She rolls her eyes at me but they settle on something over my shoulder. I frown at her before turning in my place to see what caught her eye. A guy sitting on a couch at the far end of the makeshift dance floor with one hand carrying his phone and other a red cup. But his eyes....
They were trained directly on my best friend. Okay this creepy
I turn around and raise a questioning brow at her and she blushes profusely. This does catch me off guard because let's get this clear. Diana Lawrence does not blush
I narrow my eyes at her as she tries to avoid my gaze. Before I could inquire her about this Mae pushes out of the rest room and brushes off her royal blue off shoulder knee length dress.
"Took you long enough" Diana muses before grabbing both our arms and pushing us towards the makeshift dance floor
What I learned about this party so far was that it was some rich guy's party to whom Diana was somehow acquainted to and thus the invitation.
Diana sways to the beats of the song in her bottle green bodycon dress. She twirls around in her place making me and Mae burst out laughing at her.
We all laugh and dance till I feel sweaty and excuse myself for some liquid-water-to drink to calm my dry throat
I push my way across the room towards the open kitchen. Many teenagers were loitering around the fridge and I was finding it hard to push past them
That is until I hear a glass shattering followed by a painful groan and turn around in my place to search for the source of the voice
It is either an hallucination of mine or these people were totally drunk off their minds and couldn't hear anything because they kept acting the way they were.
It sounded as if it came from the backyard. And that is when I see it. A small window above the Kitchen sink which shows the backyard and I catch a silhouette of a person
I gulp down my fear and clench my hands into fist. If I am right this could be a very brutal fight and right now by going there I cannot risk myself getting into trouble.
But after I hear another painful grunt I decide it's enough and move towards the back door which I spotted while we were waiting for Mae.
I quickly make my way towards the backyard but take careful steps as I turn the corner. I stop myself immediately. I can't just barge in there without thinking that the person out there can possibly hurt me. To some people this might sound a little too over dramatic but the incident that happened in the past has had a deep impact on me hence all these precautions
I swiftly hide myself behind the outer walls of the house and peer towards the scene as discreetly as possible
My eyes widen in fear as I see a tall broad back leaning towards a hunched man. A shocked gasp escapes past my lips when I catch the half broken bottle in his hands with it's hinges covered in blood. The blood oozing out from the side of the hunched guy's head clearly explains the scene.
But it seems that my little shocked gasp does not go unnoticed by two pairs of daunting eyes
The lean guy jerks around in my direction and I catch his predatory deep grey bloodshot eyes piercing through me.
I instinctively cower back in fear as a chill runs down my back when I catch him taking a step in my direction.
