Time Stands Still

CHAPTER 4

2018 - View from Anastasia 

He now came closer. Wait, is this really happening? He leaned in closer and closer. Our faces were only some inches apart and our noses were almost touching.

I closed my eyes and...    

But nothing happened. Wait I thought he will kiss me. I mean not like I want him to or anything... Oh, come on who are you kidding! You want it goddamnit! When I opened my eyes his face was still only some inches apart and he had a knowing smirk on his face. What is happening?

"Actually I won't kiss you!" he said. Ouch. That hurt. I swear when he said that my heart ached a little. 

In that moment when those words escaped his lips the music wasn't there to drown what he has said. Shit! He humiliated me in front of everyone. How could he do that? But I won't give him the satisfaction of a triumph. I knew he only meant trouble the first time we met but I would have never thought I would be involved in it. 

"Your loss then, pretty boy." I respond with as much sass and courage I could find. "You're probably just familiar with some hoes kissing you and not actual normal girls, right?" 

As I said that I stared into his eyes and emphasized every single syllable so he wouldn't miss a word I say. While I looked into his eyes I searched for even only one emotion that could tell me that my words hurt him. And for one second. Just a millisecond. I saw something change in his green eyes. A smile crept up my face. I got him. 

"That's what I thought. Don't waste my time!" That's the last thing I said before he stood up and left the room.

After what happened we finally stopped to play spin the bottle and thank Lord baby Jesus that we did. I didn't want any more of that shit to happen. 

"Sia? I and Aria will go to my place now." Damien informed me. 

"Oh okay. But your things are at Lou's place." I say directed to Aria. 

"Ah, yeah I know, I will get my things tomorrow and I have some stuff already at his place anyway so I won't need much." She explains.  

"Oh, well have a nice night then." 

"We definitely will." Damien says smirking knowingly at Aria. Oh boy. *rolling my eyes in thought* Fucking couples. Literally.

 "Just go already!" 

"Okay, okay bitch!" Aria states back. She gave me and a very drunk Lou a hug and then went outside. Damien stood some seconds in front of the door and looked at me with a look that I couldn't really read. It was just weird. Then he kinda unfroze like ice in summer and went after Aria. Okayyyy? Hm, whatever.

 "Okay, Lou we will go home now too."

"Do wE NeeD To?" Lou says with puppy eyes.

"Yes, we need to sweetie." 

"nO, *hiccup* FuN!" Is this bitch for real? OH MY GOD. Okay, calm down. She is still your best friend, remember? You can't kill her yet. So I took her by her hand like a little kid that was dragged out of a playground, literally and went to my car. The only problem that appeared was that my fucking car broke down.

"Really right now? Are you fucking kidding me!" I scream with frustration at my car as it would magically repair itself.

2018 - View from Stranger

I went out to catch a breath and who I see completely helplessly standing and screaming at her car. Damn right its Miss Anastasia. That will be fun!
