I know that you love me

JULIA'S POV

I went to get the remote control of the speaker set and turned on the music.

I took another sip of my drink, then another one and then another one. I drank what was left in my cup before deciding that drinking from bottle was better. So, I drank a sip, two sips, three sips trying to forget everything around me.

After 30 minutes, I realized that this bottle won't help, that I need something stronger to make every thought in my head go away. The Ken still sat inside my head not wanting to get out. I looked at the clock and it was about seven pm and I decided to go to the club to try and get him out.

I went to my bedroom and opened my closet to reveal a lot of different colors but I wasn't in the mood of colors and happiness so I settled with a black strapless short dress that described my mood at that time and wore it along with a pair of black high heels. I also straightened my hair and made some effort doing my makeup. Instead of the usual foundation and mascara look, I did a more of a smokey eye look with some eyeliner and dark red lipstick.

When I was done, I turned off the music and called an Uber to come pick me up and I got out of the house to wait for the Uber.

I got in the car when it arrived and told the driver where I needed to go.

I then noticed that my phone was vibrating in my purse, so I took it out and unlocked it.

"Fuck", I whispered so that the driver won't here me, then I checked the texts that she had sent.

From: Lisa ;*
"Hey, are you all right? I didn't see you the whole day! I asked the other teachers and they didn't know where you were either..."

"Julia... where are you? I am worried."

"Julia, I am getting scared, what's wrong?! If you don't answer then I am going to come to yours!"

After reading the messages that she has sent, I quickly wrote a response to her.

To: Lisa ;*
"I am sorry I didn't answer. I was with a distant relative that I haven't seen since a long time. Please forgive me, I'll talk to you later, xoxo"

I hope that would calm her down. I am not in the mood to calm anyone down than myself.

When we reached the the club, I paid the Uber and walked quickly to it.

I walked into the club and sat down on one of the stools there.

"Give me something strong, no, give me the strongest thing you have", I said to the bartender.

"Sure thing, pretty girl", he said as he made me my drink.

I drank the shot very quickly and ordered another one, when I was done with it I asked for another one, and then another one.

I then took a break from drinking and decided to go dance on the dance floor. Some men even asked me if i wanted to dance with them and I refused. I was drunk not stupid.

I eventually got tried from dancing so I decided to go sit down. As I made my way across the dance floor to my table, I noticed a familiar person sitting on a table.

My heart was somehow in my throat.

He was there, Ken Roberts, drinking, Ken only drank on special occasions so I found that weird. He wasn't as drunk as I was but he was drinking.
