We See What We Want

Chapter 10

The rounds continued to go on. Lily is really drunk, but she is sure enjoying her time. Especially when she was dared to let Neil to take body shots off of her. My vision is begging to blur. I've lost count on how many drinks I've had.

I look over to Ash, he still has that girl on his lap. I think the alcohol is getting to me, everytime I look at him with this slut on his lap, my stomach hurts. There is no way I could be jealous. He's an asshole. I'm just drunk that's all. I thought to myself.

It's my turn to ask someone in the group. I glance back to Ash, my stomach drops, so I turn to Jasper.

"Jasper, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare" he moves his face closer to mine.

"Kiss me." I blurt out. What's gotten into me. I don't even like Jasper. I mean not in that way, but more as a friend.

Without hesitation he presses his slobbery lips against mine. I am not enjoying it at all, but I play along.

"WOAHHHH" Lily shouts. I pull away to the sounds of someones cup spilling onto the floor.

"Fuck Ash be a bit more careful on how you handle your drink." Jasper is clearly annoyed. Ash doesnt say a thing, but clenches his jaw as he glares at Jasper.

"You know I haven't had many turns so Jasper why don't I take yours, okay?" Ash says with such a strong bitter tone.

"Sure man, all yours." Ash turns to me.

"Stella, Truth or Dare?" What's wrong with him, why does he always seems so angry, he can't be still mad from me giving him a light punch last night.

"Dare."

"No. I think you've done enough dares. So truth by default." he responds

"Uhm I don't think that's how the game works." Neil looks a little confused, as do the rest of the group.

"It's no big deal. Fine truth." I take another sip of my drink. Ash leans forward from his seat.

"Why don't you tell us who called you last night. I mean it made you terribly sick." My eyes widen. That fucking bastard. He promised he wouldnt say anything.

"Wait who called you last night?" Lily sounds worried.

"No on-." Ash cuts me off.

"Oh you don't know. That surprising. I mean she projectile vomited into the bin when she got the call. I cleaned out bin when no one was looking just so you didn't find out" His voice is sharp and cuts deep.

"What the fuck Stella, that's why you were asking about the bin this morning. Who called you-" She stops, I think she figured out who it was by the look on my face. I feel the tears growing, but I hold them back.

"Why didn't you tell me he called you. How did he find your number? Wait did he threaten you again. Tell me something please." Lily is starting to panic.

"I-I don't know. Can we talk about this somewhere else."

"Hold up who tried to threaten you? And again?" Neil asks. Ash sinks back into his chair, but pushes the girl off him. I think he's figured out he shouldn't have said anything. The conversation went from fun to serious really quick.

"Her psycho ex who tried to kill her." Lily's drunken state blurts out. My heart sank. Why did she have to say that. I feel all eyes on me, I want to run, I want to leave, but I don't know where I could go.

"No he didn't try to kill me." I try to lighten the mood

"Yes he did. He made numerous threats to kill you. For fuck sakes you've even had to get a tattoo to cover up the scare he gave you. You had to tell the paramentics that 'you accidently fell' when in reality he shoved you so hard that you busted up your head against the bed frame. If you're scared, or if you think he's going to hurt you again. You need to let me know. We can contact the police." Lily is trying to be comforting, but the alcohol in her bloodstream is making this any better. This isn't the time nor the place.
