Emotional

Chapter 5

We got to the club and God it was really loud, loud enough to where I couldn't even hear myself think. Victoria dragged me all the way to thr bar where we saw this cute young man who looked like a lot older than us. Victoria giggled and the man winked at her.

"So, what will it be tonight Vic?" The man said, looking over at his array of alcohol.

"Surprise me," She winked at him. "Oh, this is my new friend Alexandria. She just moved here today."

The man smiled slyly at me and I felt my face flush. "Oh, where from?"

"Arizona," I shouted over the music. "It's nicer here."

"Well," The man got our drinks and slid them in front of us. "For the newbie, it's on me."

"Thanks uhh.."

"My name is Zeke." He smiled at me and Victoria was still giggling up a storm on the other side of me. I gave her a weird look. "Come back to the bar if you need anything."

"Gotcha. Oh, here's a little tip." Since I was such a generous person, $20 was a good enough tip I could give. He thanked me and Victoria yanked me away from the bar. "Ouch, you're hurting me."

"Oh, sorry! I was pulling you towards a table I spotted that's completely empty!" She kept tugging on my arm until we got to our table. Victoria couldn't stop smiling at me as I sipped on my drink. "You know, I think he would make a good guy for you."

"For me? No." I responded.

"What?! Why not?!"

"I don't think I'm the type of girl for him. I'm too weird for such a handsome fellow like him."

"Just try for one date maybe. It will give you a chance to decide yourself."

Eh. It wouldn't kill for one date. I nodded and she gave me a happy squeal. "I've never been to a club before."

"Well, come on then! Dance with me!" She grabbed my hand and dragged me out to the dance floor. The music was really good and catchy, so I started to bust out some random dance moves and I felt like I was dancing like a stripper. I was having fun though. I looked over at the bar and I noticed Zeke was glaring me down and smiling at my dance moves. I just winked at him and kept on dancing. He started to blush and I just laughed in a flirty way. Victoria started to grind up against me and I couldn't resist doing the same thing.

Before I knew it, I was continously going back and forth to the bar and getting drunker than a skunk. The night was crazy, but that didn't seem to stop me.

Until I felt sick to my stomach and rushed to the bathroom. I heard the bathroom slam against the wall and another set of clicking heels came in and stared puking as well. It was Victoria.

"You okay in there?" I called over to her.

"Yeah." She said and puked again. "Maybe."

"I just turned 21 not too long ago, you know. This is the first time I got wasted." I laughed.

"Oh really? I'm 23 and pretty much almost everyday is a party for me."

"Because you're old enough to drink?"
"No.." She got quiet for a minute and walked out of the stall. I wiped my face off with toilet paper and flushed it. I saw her sitting against the wall with her head in her lap. "It's been like this for years.."

I sat down next to her. She stayed quiet again. "What's wrong..?"

She inhaled deeply and sighed. "To be honest, I'm depressed."

"Why?"

"Everyday, every single fucking day, of my life has revolved around modeling since I was 6. My mother wanted me to be competitive and win every single show we attended. She said nothing else mattered and it was all about me. When I started to realize that not everything was about me, it was like a disease that was slowly killing me. I was a narcissus. I started to hate myself because I hurt other people.." She pulled up her sleeves and exposed her scars. "I decided to make myself ugly, so other girls could feel better about themselves. About their beauty. I was considered the most beautiful girl in the world. I hated the titles. I was popular for a while, but fame started to slow down on me and my mother started to abuse me. Not just physically, but mentally as well. She said I was a stupid ugly bitch and I should just kill myself already.. So I tried to.."

She started to cry and I held her close to me. "That's horrible.. I know the feeling."

"You do?" She said, her words muffled.

"Yes. My mother was abusive to me as well.. She told me she wanted nothing to do with me and I'm nothing to her. Then she started sleeping with other men. She cheated on my father who is hopelessly in love with her still.. Even through the horrible things she has done to him. He is hoping that one day she will change her mind. But, I know she won't. She's a stupid cunt and I hate her with a burning passion.."

"Wow." Victoria lifted her head up and turned her body towards me. "I guess you and I have some things in common."

"Yeah. I never really shared with anyone about my family life.. but I trust you."

A smile appeared on her face and I smiled back. "Well, thank you. I trust you, too."

I gave her a hug and she hugged me. She wiped away her tears that were smudging her makeup. "Look Victoria, you're still beautiful just the way you are. Nothing will change that. You don't need a title to show you are the most beautiful woman in the world when you already were this whole time."

She kept smiling at me. I got up from the wall and held my hand out to her to help her up. I could tell her and I were going to be good friends. Maybe even best friends.

Hey guys! I know this chapter kind of got depressing. They both suffered from a bad childhood and that's why I think they would both be best friends.
