Chapter 16 (Natasha's party)

It's one week before Natasha's party. Apparently it's a Halloween party so we need to dress up. I want to dress up as a female pirate, mom bought me the costume and so far it looks pretty. I was in school walking with Anthony when he brought up the topic about the Halloween party

'So what are you dressing up as?' He asked

'A female pirate, you?' I answered

'I'm going to go as an 80's skater boy' He replied

'Oh, that would be cool' I said

'Is your pirate a bloody pirate?' He asked

'No, why?' I asked

'You have to dress up as someone scary or bloody' He explaned

'But an 80s skater boy isn't scary' I said

'Yes, but I've had that costume for so long and I always wear that' He answered

'Oh, alright' I said disappointed

I can't bring back the pirate costume anymore so instead I can just buy fake blood and squirt it all over the costume. Good idea. 

I had an argument with my mom because she wants to ground me for going out without her permission, but I just went to buy ice cream for me and Carly. I answered back and told her that she was being unreasonable but she just sent me away. I went out and went straight to the park, I saw Ryan there lighting a candle he was looking down and I think he's sobbing.

'Ryan?' I called

'Who's there?' He asked with a sobby tone

'It's Savanna' I answered

He wiped his tears and look up to me, he smiled then offered me to sit next to him.

'Are you okay?' I asked

'My mom passed away today last two years' He answered

I felt like something just punched my heart, I don't know how I will survive without mom. I suddenly missed her. I feel so stupid for answering back when she was just worried about me.

'I'm sorry' I said patting him in the back

'It's not your fault Savanna' He replied

I gave him a friendly hug and he hugged me back.

'I don't want to be sad anymore. I want to be happy, just for mom. By the way, are you going to Natasha's party?' He asked

'Yup, are you?' I asked

'Yes, what are dressing up as?' He asked

'A bloody pirate' I answered

'Don't!' He exclaimed

'What?' I asked out of confusion

'Don't dress as someone scary or in your case, bloody' He answered

'Why?' I asked again

'They will just make fun of you' He answered

'No they won't, Anthony himself said to me' I said standing up

'Trust me Savanna. Please' He plead

'Ugh!' I said marching out of the park

I don't want to be told what I can do and what I can't. Especially if it doesn't make sense.

It's the day of Natasha's party. I wore the pirate costume which looked soooooooo pretty. First I wore a white shirt and then put a vest in front of it. Then I wore fish net stocking and a skirt then boots. I added a pirate hat and don't forget the eye patch. It looked to pretty too bad I have to put blood stains on it. I didn't want to but I have to for Anthony. Dad drove me to Natasha's house. Everyone is so dressed up but there is no blood stains on their costumes, they looked all decent. If I knew less I would think that Ryan is right, but Anthony won't embarrass me. Or will he? Oh I don't know. I walked inside and my instincts is right, everyone was dressed up decently, sexy rabbit costumes, some are dressed up as nurses, some are animals. I just can't believe this, I was looking for Grace or David or Anthony to see what they are wearing. You can see how rich Natasha is by how her house looks. It has a wide living room and the staircase are wonderful. The event was set in the living room and it was designed to look like a club. It has a table of food, the DJ is playing music, there's a spotlight and there's a stage. Suddenly the spot light was on me, literally. Everyone was staring at me, other's are laughing then. I don't understand. I was just walking when it went straight up to me then suddenly Natasha went up the stage and made a speech it goes like this

'DJ, cut the music. Now you know that every time I throw a Halloween arty some idiot would dress up creepily. Well here's one now. How stupid? What is she trying to pull. A bloody female pirate, more like a stinking pirate. that doesn't even suites her! OMG, I think I know who this girl is. It's SAVANNA, the new girl from Canada. Have you ever been to a Halloween party before. Do they have parties in Canada? I guess no one wanted to invite you because you always ruined the mood!!!' She started laughing and so does everybody 'Look, you're the only one dressed up like a bloody pirate!' She added

'NO SHE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE!' A guy in a hippie costume came out of no where, he wasn't dressed up as a bloody hipster but he pulled out a small jar of fake blood and spread it all over him 'AND NOW I'M A BLOODY HIPPIE TOO. HAPPY? YOU CAN PICK ON TWO PEOPLE NOW!' He added

I tried to hold my tears back. Who is this guy and why would he do this? He was wearing a wig and glasses that's why I couldn't recognise him. He pulled his glasses down and winked at me. It was Ryan. He pulled me out of the spot light and brought me to the bathroom. He washed the blood stains of my shirt and he washed the blood stains off his shirt. 

'Thank you' I whispered

'I'll do anything for you Savanna. You know I would' He said

I hugged him and started to cry on his shoulder 

'Just say yes Savanna' He whispered hugging me tighter

I pulled away and went out when the stains were gone. I wanted to go home but I just want to tell Anthony that I'm leaving. I asked a girl I saw in the corner. She said that Anthony is in the kitchen. I went to the kitchen and I saw Anthony with Natasha, on the counter, making out. The worst of all was, Anthony's shirt was gone and Natasha's stockings were on the floor. I felt like I was going to die. I've never felt broken like this.
