*Makayla's P.O.V.*
"Bye Aunt Peggy, bye Brent!" I waved goodbye to the only family I have left. I got in my car and turned on the ignition. I looked out the window and saw my Aunt and brother smiling and waving at me. I felt my eyes get glossy, so I turned my head and pulled out of the driveway. I started to think about my life as I made my way to college. My name is Makayla Rivera, I have brown hair, brown eyes, I'm slightly tan, I'm 5'8", and I'm majoring in music and dance in college.
When I was about 4 my dad left me and my mom while she was pregnant with my brother Brent. It was hard growing up because my mom would always go to the club, get drunk, come home and pass out. She didn't really take care of us but I knew she loved us. When I was 15 she started smoking. I told her how bad it was and she told me she would quit. About a year later she did. But when I was 17 she started drugs. A month or two after she started, she died from drug overdose. She left me and my at the moment 13 year old brother alone with no one. Then my Aunt Peggy told us she would take us from our home in Arizona to live with her in California.
But now with me being 19, I'm off to college, leaving my 15 year old brother alone and without his best friend. Neither of us really made and friends when we were younger, so we became each others. We were so close, inseparable.
After thinking about my fucked up life, my eyes start to get glossy. But, luckily for me, I see my turn up ahead. I put on my right blinker and turn into the college parking lot. I park my car and turn off the ignition. I sigh and get out and grab my suitcase. I only have one cause I don't have many things. I take out my schedule and see I'm in dorm C, room 342. I walk up to the big map they have in the front and look for my dorm. I see it's about a 7 minute walk. I sigh and begin the journey. I decide to call my brother. I told him I would call him everyday while I was gone.
I pulled out my phone and dial his number. I smile as he picks up on the second ring.
"Hey Brent."
"Hey sis, what's up?"
"Nothing much, just got here and now I'm looking for this stupid ass dorm."
"Haha of course." There was a moment of silence until Brent decided to speak up.
"I miss you already." I heard him sniffle and I know he's crying.
"I miss you too." I really do, he's my best friend and he always will be. Nobody understands us like each other. I was there for his first day at high school and he was there when I was nervous about taking my drivers test. But with each other's support, we both made it. It was quiet again until Brent decided to scream.
"FRICK!!"
"Oh my god, what?!"
"I just realized I have major Algebra homework!!" I just laughed.
"I gotta go, LOVE YOU BIG SIS!!!!"
"Haha, I love you too little bro." And with that he hung up.
As soon as he hung up, I bumped into someone. I mumbled a simple 'sorry' and looked up. When I looked up I saw beautiful emerald green eyes staring back into my brown ones. That was until his eyes moved further down south to my breast.
"No problem babe, it's all good" he smirked. I noticed he had an accent, but I just ignored it. I scoffed and pushed past him with a quick and simple 'fuck you'. Thank The Lord, Jesus Christ my dorm was about 6ft away. I did not want him following me.
I walked inside and walked inside the elevator. I pressed the floor 2 button. I pulled my phone out and scrolled through Twitter while waiting. I favorite and retweeted some shit. The doors opened and I put my phone away and walked out. I wandered the halls until I found my room.
I reached out, grabbed the doorknob and turned it. To my surprise it was unlock. I walked in and saw that someone had already chosen the bed furthest away from the window. I smiled and walked over to the bed near the window and set my suitcase on it.
I always loved looking out the window and watching time go by. I heard another door open, I turned around and saw a brunette girl walking out of what I presume to be the bathroom.
When she saw me, she smiled and walked over to me. She stood in front of me and pulled me in for a hug.
"Hi, I'm Eleanor Calder, I hope you don't mind I took this bed. We can switch if you want?"
"I'm Makayla Rivera, and it's ok, I like this bed better anyways." I said as she pulled away and smiled. She went to her bed and sat down and started to do something on her phone. I turned around and started to unpack. I pulled out some old pictures and started to hang them above my bed.
There were pictures of me, my mom, Brent, me and my mother, me and Brent, my mother and Brent, and then all of us.
"Those are cute, who are they?" Eleanor said looking up from her phone.
"My mom and brother, Brent." I said turning around with a sad smile on my face.
She must've noticed cause she got up and practically ran to me and engulfed me in a hug.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know!" She said while rocking me back and forth as I let a couple tears escape my eyes. She released me from the hug and I wiped my eyes.
"How about we go to a party to get your mind off everything?" I debated on whether or not I should go. Something bad could happen and I could end up missing or even dead. I know I'm over exaggerating but I've never been to a party or really had friends before so I wouldn't know. And if something did happen, Brent would have no one left. No one to tell his secrets, help him, or love him like I do. But on the other hand, it could take my mind off things, and I really need that. I sigh and nod. She smiles.
"Great, but we should probably get dressed now cause the party starts at 7:30 and it's," she paused to look at her phone " 6:05"
I nodded as she walked over to her closet and started to go through her clothes. I just sat down, pulled out my phone and went scrolling through Twitter again.
"Is that what you're gonna wear?" I looked up to see Eleanor with her eyebrows furrowed. I nod slowly. She sighs and shakes her and looks away. What's wrong with my outfit? I'm wearing a black crop top, purple studded high waisted shorts, and my white VANS. When I looked back up from checking myself out, I notice Eleanor was gone. She must be in the bathroom. I sigh and get up and get my make-up bag. I walk over to the mirror and start.
I do a simple smokey eye with a little mascarra. I put on a coral color lip gloss and pop my lips. I look in the mirror and nod in approval. I look pretty descent. I stand up and go put my make-up away.
I hear the door open and I turn around. Standing there was Eleanor in a tight red dress that hugs her body and black heels. She had winged eyes and red lipstick.
She smiled and said "Ready?" I nodded. We grabbed our phones and headed on the walk. She started talking.
"I can't wait for you to meet my boyfriend, he's gonna be there. I warn you, his friends are danger, bad news. Especially his best friend, Harry."
"What does he look like?"
"Who? My boyfriend or his friend Harry?"
"Harry" I said bluntly wondering who the bloke is.
"You'll know him when you see him." was all she said before she shouted.
"We're here!!" I notice the building in front of us and the music pounding.
"Are you ready?" was what she said before she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the door. She stopped right in front of it and turned to me, awaiting my answer. I nodded sheepishly. She smiled and turned to the door and pushed it open and pulled me inside.
At that moment I knew this was gonna be a night I would remember, but also regret. Here goes nothing.
