Shattered

Chapter 5

Annie's POV:
After Brennan dropped us at gym we headed straight to our table and chugged water. Katie was suffering hard from her hangover. We were just sitting there, minding our own business...
And then I saw her.
Amanda walked in, he gym bag at her side. She looked happier than ever, glowing, even. She decided that instead of sitting with Emily today, she wanted to come sit at our table. How ironic.
"Hey Katie. Annie." She grinned. Katie was silent and I glared at her.
"Woah, what's wrong."
"How about you tell me what's wrong. Thanks for ruining my relationship." I say, angrily grabbing my bag and moving to another table. There's one extra table that rarely anyone ever sits at, rather than coach Mary when she occasionally gets bored and brings her work in here. Amanda watches me and Katie walk away, absolutely speechless. She stomps over.
"How did you find out?" She demands, looking around so nobody hears her.
"Your ex-boyfriend, that you cheated on." I grin, saying it loud and clear so everyone can hear. I think even coach Mary heard, but since we aren't getting physical and it happened before class starts she can't do anything. Amanda stomps off and runs to the girls bathroom. Katie tries her hardest not to laugh.
The whole day was pretty rough. But we got through it, since it was a half day. I thought that Amanda was going to leave me alone, until she popped beside me before our parents picked us up.
"You know, if you actually payed attention to your boyfriend, this would have never happened. You have problems, Julianna. Get help you alcoholic. She glared. I stared blankly into the road. Katie already got picked up, and the only people left were the coaches and some little kids. I got myself together before mom came and picked me up. As soon as I got in the car she pushed the camera in my face. Ah, lovely to be back.
"This teenager decided to go have a sleepover at Katie's house at 12:30! Isn't that crazy guys? Now that she has a car, she just loves driving around at night." Mom laughed. I smiled a little, but not as wide and fake as usual.
"You okay sweetie?" She said in her fake, camera voice.
"Just tired." I smiled.
"Aw, my little baby."
She turned off the camera and drove me home, I honestly wasn't hungry at all whine we got home. Drinking so much water all day must have filled me up.
I got upstairs and locked my door.
It's my fault Tyler left me. I broke him, so he broke my heart back. Amanda was right; maybe if I made time for him like a good girlfriend, this never would have happened. I ruined two relationships because of my ignorance.
I shake my head and walk to my bathroom to splash some water in my face. One I dry it off, I sit in bed and go on social media. After scrolling through Instagram and Twitter for a couple hours I think of our channel.
I know mom always says not to read comments. But she brought it up in the car earlier today and I can't get it out of my head.
"Don't read those comments, sweetie. There's some horrible people trying to bully our family because they're jealous." Of course, she was vlogging when she said it, but still.
I open YouTube and click on our channel, 'Bratayley.' I click on the most recent vlog and instantly scroll to the comments.
"Wow, Annie in the thumbnail yet again. And she was only in the video for like 2 minutes!!"
"Poor H$"
"No offence, but Annie doesn't look like she's putting any effort into her look anymore. She always looks tired, lol."
"Annie is so ugly I love you Hayley youre so cute"
I shut my laptop and take a deep breath. Suddenly, an idea popped in my head. I don't have gym tomorrow, and mom, dad, and Hayley are going to visit with Alexa's family tonight.
Hey Andrea. Up for round 2 tonight?
She replays almost instantly.
You know it! Still have lots of left over stuff so you don't need to bring anything. Same times as last night!
Suddenly I smirk on my face. It feels even more rebellious tonight than it did yesterday. Yesterday was a wreck, but tonight will be better.
I pull on a fitted red dress and white converse. I finish off the simple look with basic makeup and bright red lips. My hair is still curly so I just leave it. And just like that, all done. I pull on some loose black shorts and a red sweater so I don't look suspicious leaving the house. I grab my purse and phone and call and uber. I know I won't be in any state for driving tonight.
Just as I almost leave the door, a camera is stuffed in my face. Lovely.
"Today Annie is going over to Katie's for another sleepover. Your makeup is very pretty sweetie." She says I'm her perfect little vlog voice.
"Thanks mom. I'll see you tomorrow!" I say as I shut the door. My uber is here, and I'm ready to get out of here.
"Hey. 1694 Lakeside Road." I inform the driver. He nods and pulls out of our street. It's a short, silent drive before we finally get here. I pay the driver in cash and thank him for the ride.
"No problem dear. Stay safe." He nods before he drives away. I didn't come early this time, so the party has well begun. I walk inside the packed house and head straight for the kitchen. I take 12 strong shots and grab a solo cup. I fill it with mostly vodka and a shot of whiskey. Then I stir in some juice so it literally doesn't burn a hole in my throat.
"You're planning to get straight up drunk." Some guy at the counter says.
"Yup." I nod, bobbing to the music.  He just laughs before he pours his own drink. I'm feeling a little fuzzy, so I cant tell if I know him or not.
"You up for truth or dare again later tonight?" He grins. I remember the boy from yesterday who invited me and Katie to play. There's no Katie to protect and no Brennan to get angry tonight, so I nod in agreement. Before I go to the living room I take a couple more shots. When I'm done I head to the main room to dance. A couple guys grab at me, but I just ignore them, like the rest of the girls here are. It works a lot better than using force like I did yesterday. It's not before long that Sam waves me down to come downstairs. I laugh and follow him. This should be interesting.
