Addiction

Chapter 2

*Friday~ Eva's Outfit for the Party*
Eva's POV

"So we'll meet up after I pick her up." Jonas tells Isak. Isak and nods and pulls out his phone to text someone. Jonas looks at me with a gleam of excitement in his eyes and I try and mimic his eager feeling about tonight.

Don't worry. Tonight will be great. You'll have fun. Meet new people. Hook up with Jonas once you get a little tipsy. Tonight is about you.

My subconscious keeps repeating those sentences over and over which helps my self confidence. They bro-hug and eventually Jonas and I are on my way to my house.

"So what time do you think you'll be ready by? The party starts at 8 but I know by 10 it should be packed." Jonas says once we hit the streets.

"Come by at like 9. I should be done getting ready by then." I say while wondering what I should wear out tonight.

"Okay sounds great." He exclaims with his eager tone. We turn down Benson Drive which is where I take my left and where Jonas takes a right. We stand on the street corner and he just holds me in his arms for a couple minutes. I close my eyes and block out everything in the world except for this. When I pull back and open my eyes, Jonas is staring at me with a look of admiration. I lean in for a kiss and he meets me halfway, our lips connect and the sparks between us are as if this was our first kiss.

...

I put my hair into a ponytail and throw on my jean jacket that makes my outfit look a little bit..older I guess. I look at everything and debate whether or not I want to do makeup. I usually do light make up but then again we never go to parties and suddenly the thought of Jonas being made fun of because I'm not wearing any make up scares me.

I put on some nude lipstick and then do mascara to make my eyes pop a little. I put on blush and suddenly the door bell rings. I walk over and know that it's Jonas. I open the door and to my surprise it's Isak instead of Jonas.

"Isak what are you doing here? I thought we were meeting you at the party." I say and pull out my phone to text Jonas.

"Jonas told me to come get you. He's a little preoccupied right now and he can't come and get you. He said he would meet us at the party." Isak states while staring down at the ground.

"What do you mean he's preoccupied?" I say with a sudden angry tone. As I say that, I think to myself of what Jonas could be really doing.

"He's getting high isn't he Isak?" Isak nods and doesn't connect our eyes. My blood begins to boil but I remind myself that tonight is about me. Not Jonas, me.

I'm gonna go to this party, get fucked up, hook up with Jonas and have the best night of my life.

I walk side by side with Isak and eventually we show up. Jonas is waiting outside and once I see him, I make sure to walk right past him and into the party. He tries to stop me by calling my name but I push on through the crowd of third and second year students. I notice a couple of first years that I have classes with but I don't stop until I reach the kitchen.

A group of third years take up majority of the space but I still grab myself some alcohol to get my night started. I look at my options and choose the biggest and fullest bottle there is on the counter. As I pour myself a drink, I see Jonas approaching me from my right side and once he reaches me he speaks out with a hazy voice. His breath smells like pot and I know that he was smoking a joint milliseconds before Isak and I got to the party.

"Eva what's wrong?" He whispers into my ear seductively.

"I think you know." I say back with a vicious tone. I want him to know that it's not cool for him to get high and leave me stranded with his best friend.

"Is this about me sending Isak to come pick you up? Elias and I got busy doing some stuff." He says with a smile, trying to make his case better which didn't at all.

"I would've just now forgiven you if you wouldn't had lied to me about getting high! Do you think someone stupid!? You reek of pot and you're trying to tell me you were busy with something else?" I say and I know that if looks could kill Jonas would be dead by now. 

"It's just pot babe. It's harmless. You act as if it's something that I could have an addiction with." He says with a laugh. I look at his bloodshot eyes that have a glazed look and I storm off once more.

...

I sit on the front porch all by myself and watch as people stumble out of the party. I lost Jonas and Isak about an hour ago and honestly I didn't care. I look up and see that the moon is casting a glow on to the front lawn of the house and it looks mesmerizing. I am brought out of my thoughts when I hear a feminine voice come from behind me.

"Hello." The mystery girl says from behind me. She has short blonde hair, blue eyes, and fantastic red lipstick that only she could pull off. She looks familiar but I can't tell where I know her from since I'm shit faced.

"Hi." I say back. I take in her talk appearance and notice how model thin she is.

"I'm Noora. You're Eva right? I think we have Spanish together." She states with a laugh that shows her shiny white teeth.

"Yeah! That's where I know you from." I say with a smile.

"Well what are you doing out here? I mean I saw you and your boyfriend get into an argument but I just thought he would be out here with you." She sits down next to me on the concrete porch

"Yeah. I lost him about an hour in there so I've been out here by myself. I might just go home." I say while looking away from her. I don't want this total stranger to watch me cry.

"Well why don't you come inside and hang out with my boyfriend and his friends? Come have a good time with us." She says while trying to remain eye contact with me.

I nod and she helps me get up. I wipe off my backside and hope that there isn't any dirt on my butt. We walk back into the party and everything is the same. We walk past everyone and into the kitchen where the big group of third years stands.

"Guys, this is Eva. Eva this my friends." She introduces me to a bunch of third years and then she introduces me to two guys who stand closer to us than the others.

"This is William, my boyfriend and this is Chris his best friend." I look up and say hi to William before looking up at Chris.
