She's So Gone

Laura's POV

After My Hair Was Curled Yet Slightly Wavy, And I Applied Some Light Makeup. Smokey Black Eyeshadow, One Coat Of Light Pink Lip Gloss, And Some Mascara. I Walked Out Of The Bathroom Where Vanessa And Rydel Were Just About Ready. "Tada!" I cheered As I Walked Out.

Rydel Turned To Me And Her Jaw Dropped. "Laura! Your Gorgeous Darling." She Said Smiling. I Returned The Smile. "Thanks Del." I Said And Shifted My Eyes Who Straightened Her Hair! "Oh My God, You Straightened Your Hair It's A Miracle!" I Said Walking Over To Her Stroking Her Soft Hair.

"Okay ." She Said But I Kept Stroking. "Okay, Laura." She Said Getting Uncomfortable. I Held in My Laugh And Stroked Rapidly Now. "Laura, Laura!" She Said Grabbing My Hands And Pushing Them Away From Her.

I Let Out A Laugh and Stepped Away From Her. "But Really, You Look Great." I Said Giving Her A Thumbs Up. "Guys Are You Ready!?" Rocky Shouted From God knows Where. "Almost!" Rydel Shouted Back. My Eyes Widened And I Held My Ear. Loud Much?

"What!?" "I Said ALMOST!" She Said Even Louder. "Oh My God." I Said Aloud Running Out Of The room. "You almost Killed My Eardrums!" I Exclaimed A Few Moments Later When I Walked Back In. "Sorry, my Brother's Deaf." She Said Rolling Her Eyes. "And I Was Next To Go Deaf." I Said Seriously. She Chuckled And Shrugged. "Sorry." She Apologized.

"Ready." Vanessa Breathed Out As She Examined Herself In The Mirror. "Me Too." Rydel said Smiling At Her Reflection. "Lets Go, Then." Vanessa Said Excitedly.. Every Determination I Had To Prove That I Can .. Hang With Party People Has Left. I'm Nervous, Very .. Clubs It's Just Not My .. Scenery As Ross Would Say.

"Guys, I Dont .. Maybe I Should Stay Home And Keep Ryland Company. Yeah, I'm Gonna Keep Ry-" "You're Coming." Vanessa Cut Me Off. I Rolle My Eyes And Silently Groaned. "I'm Just Saying, It's Kind Of Unfair To Leave Anyone Be-" "Is Laura Punking Out?" Rocky Asked As He Walked In.

I Gasped. "Why Does Everybody Think I won't Go?" I Asked Offended. "Because You Dont Want To." Vanessa Said Rolling Her Eyes. "Yes I do, I Just Dont Want Ryland Feeling Left Out." I Lied. "But It's Whatever, Let's .. Go." I Hesitated. All Of Them In The Room Smirked Causing Me To Awkwardly Walk Out First.

"Wow, You're Actually Coming?" Riker Asked Shocked. I Stopped In my Tracks And Looked At Him. "Ugh!" I Exclaimed As I Speed Walked Out The Door And Into The Backseat Of The Car We're Taking. "Doubting Me, I'll Show Them." I Mumbled To Myself With my Arms Folded.

I Looked Up When The Others Started Piling Into The Car. It Was The Driver's Seat, The Passenger Seat, Room For 3 People In The Back and Another Row That Could fit 3 People. As Riker And Rocky Sat In Front, Rydel And Ross Sat Next To Me But I switched With Vanessa And Sat Alone In The Back.

I Sat There In Silence The Whole Ride, Annoyed That Everyone Doubts My Actions. Even though .. I Was About To Punk Out Of Coming But That's Beside The Point. I'm Here, And I Guess I'll Just Show Them.

As The Car Parked I Glimpsed At Ross Who Seemed To Turn His Head As Soon As I Looked In His Direction ? I Shrugged If Off And Got Out Last. It Was Weird once We Actually Walked Into The Club. A Bunch Of Bodies Everywhere Dancing And Grinding.It Was Darkish but You Could Recognize People If You Knew Them, The Lights Were Flashing And Gleaming Everywhere As The Music Blasted.

It Was Actually .. Not As Intimidating As Expected. Only Problem Is That With All The Bodies, It Was Easy To Be Separated From each Other. So Just In Case, I Grabbed Onto Ross' Arm So I Wouldn't Be separated. There First Destination Was The Bar Just To Sit For A While I Guess.

"Are You Gonna Have A Drink?" The Bartender Asked Over The Loud Music. "2 Shots Please." Ross Said. "Ross, You Can't Drink." I Said Loud Enough for him to Hear. But He Seemed To Ignore Me As He Grabbed Them. "You Need To Live A Little, Besides What's There To Lose By Taking A Shot?" He Asked Leaning Closer To Me For Easier Hearing And Comprehending.
