Liza's POV
"YOU JERK!" I yell and push him to the wall, his head hits it, making him unable to stand straight. He is wet by the coke I poured on him earlier. The whole crowd at the party look at us. The DJ stops.
"Liza, I..." He stutters.
"Look, it's just a mistake" That girl walks up to me and tries to explain. I glare at her, immediately see fear in her blue eyes.
"Listen, if you don't want to end up like him, then STAY AWAY BLONDIE"
"Ohhhhhh!" The crowd widen their eyes.
She steps back, raising both of her hands in defence.
"Goodbye Stephen" I give him a slap in the face as a farewell gift. The room is so quiet the sound echoes in the air. I turn my heels and the crowd instantly parts side for me. I walk away, not looking back
Good luck taking care of him!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At age 19, I live alone in Los Angeles to persue my dream of being a creator on YouTube. My family and friends, they are living in Houston, Texas.
A month ago, I met Stephen. In my eyes, he was this super handsome guy, 6 feet tall, and I bet he spends most of his free time at the gym, considering his muscular body. Being a lonely, desperate 19 year old at the time, my stupid mind decided it was ok to be his girlfriend.
After what happened, I walk home, since he was the one who drove me there. I'm lucky that the party is right down the street.
How am I feeling right now? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I feel empty. Just empty. I feel like there's a hole in my heart. Is that weird? Probably.
I turn the key to open my apartment's door. I turn the lights on to see it's empty. The furniture will be here next week. Right now, there's only of course wifi and every night I sleep on a small mattress I brought from home.
I open my laptop and find a movie to watch. I open the fridge and get some ice-cream, which is the only thing in the fridge. There's no way I'm gonna live alone, without any ice-cream ok?! Don't judge me!
I click the space bar and the movie starts.
Half way through the movie, I get distracted thinking about Stephen and somehow tears just start streaming down my face. I dig the spoon into the ice-cream, stuffing my face with it. As I keep doing, I think about everything we had. I thought he was nice, I thought we had something special. I was wrong. I was stupid. I was so naive.
"Why. Did. He. Do. That?" I poke the poor ice-cream carton with my spoon between words
"Someday.... I'm gonna find a man... and.... and.... you gonna.... regret that you let me go.... d-head" I sob
I soon finish the whole thing and the movie hasn't even finished yet. I yawn in tiredness.
"Time for bed" I say out loud and look at my phone. It's already midnight. I wash my face, change into comfy clothes I took out from the cardboard box. I get into the cold matress and try to get some sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk down the street after having dinner at Chipotlé. I don't want to go home. I feel really lonely and scary there. I should make more friends. Where can I make more friends?
As I keep walking, I hear music coming out of somewhere.
Keep following it!
I stop at a huge house. Music is blasting and people is coming in and out. At this point I don't wanna care anymore. I don't care if I'm at a party alone.
I try to sneak in and success. There are a lot of people here and I barely know them. I wander around the house, exploring. I end up sitting on a couch, looking around. That's when I feel someone sitting next to me. I make a quick glance and see a girl. She's definitely older and wiser than me. She has this really cute looking galaxy hair. She's holding a bottle of beer in her hand, also looking around. Her eyes land on mine. She kinda stares at me for a bit
"Hi! I'm Gabbie" She says with a smile
I start to get nervous
"What's your name? Have I seen you somewhere before"
"Uhmm.... I'm Elizabeth, but people call me Liza. I don't think we've met"
"Want something to drink? You must be old enough to drink right? I mean you're at this party" She offers
"Uhm yeah" I awkwardly reply
Liar!
Just be cool Liza
"Then if you want something to drink.... there's some in kitchen"
You know what?! Let's just drink to forget about everything, to enjoy the moment, to forget that my life sucks,
I stand up and walk to the kitchen. I open the fridge and take out a bottle of beer.
Under-age drinking? Seriously Liza?
I shrug, not caring about the consequences. I empty the bottle of beer at a gulp. At first, it burns my throat, but a few moments later, it actually tastes really.... good.
How about another bottle?
Says the demon inside of me
I open the fridge again, about to pull out another bottle when I hear someone calling my name:
"Hey Liza! There you are"
I look up and see Gabbie holding two red cups in her hands, she's standing behind the fridge's door. I stand up and she hands me one cup
"Here... drink.... this" She already sounds so drunk
"This is....."
"Vodka!" She says and takes another sip of her drink
"Cheers" I raise the cup and so does Gabbie
"You go girl..." Gabbie yells

Couple of shots later...
I'm a drunken mess. I yell and dance with no control. At least I'm having fun and forgetting about everything in life that bothers me.
"THIS IS SO FUN!!!" I scream as loud as I can so Gabbie can hear me.
"YEAH I KNOW RIGHT! WOOOOH" She takes another shot
"Hey GABBIE! LOOK AT ME" I say and stand on the table. I can see everyone from up here.
"I LOVE MY LIFEEEEE" I yell and everyone including Gabbie cheers:
"WOOOOOOAH!"
I take a shot.
It's late at night and I find myself stumbling down the street. I'm ready to puke at anytime. The light on the street is so dim that I can barely see or it's just my head spinning. I don't know, it's either one. Suddenly, my head hits something. I become even more dizzy. Everything goes black.....

Will be continue...( with part two. Just part 2)
