The Tough Girls Club

Chapter 8: Never Again

The bike ride the next morning was short and blissful. I hummed the tune to a Magic Man song and waved to people on the streets and on the beach. Only two people waved back.

Once I was there I parked my bike and went in. The first thing I noticed was no one else was there but Alana, sitting in a corner. She took a swaggering step toward me, ending up on the ground.

Suddenly I realized what was happening. Alana was drunk.

Crap crappity crap crap.

"Alana, are you...high?"

She had finally gotten the strength to get up, and she walked over to me and slapped my face.

"Yes you m**********"

I could feel the slap burning into my skin as I ran far far away.

***Alana's P.O.V***

*That Morning*

I can't believe it. I can't believe it!!!

I looked at the clock.8:15. That means my goody two shoes sister is already in bed.

I crept down to the Kitchen and opened the cabinet where she kept her liquor. Hmmm, vodka. Vodka sounded good. I poured myself a glass and took a sip, letting it burn down my throught. Then I took another. And another.

I thought about Jamie, the new girl. She was getting closer and closer to finding out every day. And I hated her for it.

Soon my thoughts turned woozy and far away, and I started feeling incredibly happy.

I poured myself another glass.

***Jamie's P.O.V.***

I rememebered I had left my bike, but I decided I didn't care.

I was so naive. Naive to think those people were my friends. Naive to think that Alana didn't do anything bad in her free time. I would never again make the same mistakes.

When I got home, my legs were burning. I knew I was supposed to cry, but I didn't. I just got angry. I was sick and tired of all the secrets and all the lies. I was done with them. Done with them all.

I thought about my blog post: deciding I should do one despite everything. Here's what I posted: I am so,so stupid.

I didn't go to the concert the next night.

Hola! So I am back from my mini-hiatus, which was for personal reasons. :)

So, what do you think of that chapter? I was originally going to write it after the concert chapter, but when I was trying to write about the concert it really just wasn't working.

Also, please, please give me some feedback as well as blog posts in the comments. Lately, I've sort of been wishing someone would comment so we could talk, but that hasn't really happened, so I'm going to request that someone makes my day by doing that.

Also, my new story, Redo, is going to be out very, very soon! It's sort of a fantasy/teen fiction mix, and I think you'll like it!

This chapter is dedicated to voddiesbabe, who gave me my very first votes. Thanks for spreading the love!

One last thing, today's song of the day is Smile by Mikky Ekko. This song is a mix of happy and sad, and I think you'll really, really, really like it. It makes me so happy!

Remember to vote, comment, and all that jazz!

LOVE YOU!!!
