One Night Only

Six

I don't wanna fall so fast
But I'm open
They always say that good things never last
And I know 'cause I've been broken

It was weird being in this house two years later. I never came back to any parties, scared of running into him. He knows me and I'm not the one to hide anymore, I've noted that into my brain 10 minutes ago when Alley and the rest forced me to come. I'd rather be in my dorm, sleeping.

Joy for once was wearing her long ginger hair down and Alley forced her to wear contacts and by force I mean Alley accidentally stepped on her glasses this morning while running through her closet for a black dress. Joy was lucky enough to have contacts until she can get new glasses in a week.

"You look like a different person Joy! I would kill for your hair. I hate my dull brown hair." I run my hands through hers once we made it to the bar inside of the house.

"I love it! It suits you and it compliments your eyes nicely." She smiles at me before looking at the drinks they had for free. It's weird to have parties and have some drinks free and then have some you have to pay for. I don't get it but I guess you gotta make money somehow.

"I have no clue what any of these are. I've only ever had wine." She admits before handing me a small red shot and getting one for herself. We lost Alley and Joey to the dance floor. I love the rock music that get's played here.

I don't have a favorite style of music but if I had to pick just one, it would be rock.

"Raspberry Refreshers" I tell her after I down mine. She sticks her tongue in hers, deciding if she was going to like it before sitting it back down.

"I swear I can dance all day and night. I just fucking love this music!" Alley comes between us before laying her head down on the bar. I can tell she already had a couple in her. Ryan sits besides Joy before they carry on a conversation.

They've been best-friends years prior to when we met them.

Ryan is bisexual but most of the time he just doesn't label himself and I love that about him. He's been in an open relationship last year but it ended quickly when he found out the girl was married.

I glanced at the balcony before seeing him again, leaning over it, scanning the crowd.

My heart is beating like a hammer. I would let it knock me the fuck out of it wanted too.

"How was your first day at work yesterday?" Alley questions before downing another shot.

"It was fine." I take another drink before downing it. I was getting major flashbacks to freshman year when I was sitting at this same bar. My naive self called it a kitchen island which basically that is all it is but with drinks.

So that makes it a bar right?

"I think you should dance with me. I don't wanna do the robot anymore with Ryan." She whines before Ryan slaps her ass.

"Excuse you? why didn't you say that to my face.. pussy." I cringe at that word.

"I don't feel like it." I cross my arms over my dress.

"I'd rather stay here with Joy and watch you two make idiots out of yourselves." She huffs before wrapping her arms around Ryan. They fade into the crowd before Joy sighs in relief.
