I'd gone back to the castle by now. I had to get away from him. I couldn't believe I gave in to hugging Aidan, but the bond that was between us made me cave very quickly. After we hugged for about a minute, I stepped away and just left him there. It might've hurt him to leave him like that, but I didn't care right now.
There was still maids cleaning up the mess from the party. I feel bad for them, they didn't get to enjoy themselves truly. I sat down on my bed, thinking. I needed to get my mind off of things. So, I called four of my nearly lifelong friends over.
Those four friends were Sam, Finn, Clarke, and Lexa. All four of them were vampires and they've been there for me throughout most of my life. While I was just starting lessons for ruling, they were born. I practically watched them all grow up. When they get here, we chill in my room for a bit and just talk. I kept seeing Sam stare at me. I knew he had feelings for me, and at the moment I have no idea what to say to him now that I know who my beloved is.
We were just chilling when Clarke suggested that later tonight we should go out into the city and do some graffiti throughout it. We all agreed. When we did this it was only to get some things off of our chest that we're not comfortable with sharing with others. While everyone is getting ready to leave, I grab duffel bad from under my bed that consisted of an adequate supply of spray paint for all of us.
Once all dressed properly, we quickly leave without a word to my parents, the help, or my brothers. We went under a bridge on the far side of town and joked around for a while, before starting our art. Sam drew the biggest dick on the bottom of the bridge, it was so funny. But then we went to do some real art, even though a big dick with a lot of detail is real art.
We painted some pretty cool stuff. I painted this abstract sort of thing- all of my emotions just spilled out at that moment. I took a moment to look at it. "You okay?" Sam whispers to me from behind, snaking his arm around my waist and kissing my neck gently. This felt wrong.
I nod slowly and escape his grasp. "Hey guys, why don't we head back to my place?" I say a bit loudly. They all look at me and nod, cleaning up the spray cans. We know better than to leave them out. We head back to the castle and then decided to go back to my room. We all sit down. "Who's down to play spin the bottle?" I smirk.
Nobody in this small friend group had found their beloved yet, and I didn't have to tell them I found mine. Especially not Aidan. Everyone did a "me!" and sat in a circle. I stand up and move to my trunk to get a few bottles of alcohol before sitting back down. Sam, of course, sat next to me as close as he could before I started scooting a little to the side. "We spin the bottle, and whoever it lands on has to take a shot and then kiss the person who the bottle lands on next." I say to the group, pouring the shots for all of us.
We all drank until we were pretty much blackout drunk. We played spin the bottle until we passed out. The only thing I remember is getting dared to kiss everyone, and that's exactly what I did, even if it meant kissing someone who wasn't my mate. Everyone awoke the next morning on my bed. It was only big enough to fit three people, and there was five of us.
"Get off of me, you fat whore." I say groggily and angrily to Lexa. I'm upset because of how uncomfortably I slept. Lexa just slaps my arm and pushes me off the bed. I fall off with a thud and a groan.
I stand up slowly, rubbing my eyes. I watch as everyone moves into a more comfortable position. Somehow, everyone was in little to no clothing. I start to laugh. We must've played dare or strip. That's a game where someone dares you to do something or you have to take a piece of clothing off. I kind of feel... guilty for doing it.
Everyone tells me to shut up for groaning. I shrug. "We played dare of strip last night, I think." I laugh, even though it hurt like a bitch. I call the maid and tell her to make something for our hangovers. She immediately does it and leaves for a few minutes.
