You have been best friends with Mena ever since you both were little kids. You grew up together, going to school and attending each other's birthday parties. You two were there for each other for both of your first breakups and high school games. You two were so close and nothing could separate you both. 

Being best friends, you two always supported each other and told each other secrets, and successes in life... Like the time Mena told you he was going to audition for this role in a movie. You supported him and told him to do it.  And so, he did! He auditioned and happily got the part! 

Ever since the movie was a success, he's been getting non stop calls and interviews for him to be in new movies and shows and lots of cool projects for him to do. Because of that, that means you get to tag along with him. He wanted you to also be apart of his journey. So, wherever he went, you went too. Whether if it was meetings, or interviews and especially parties and premieres...

So here the two of you are, attending the premiere to Mena's latest film project in London. After the premiere, there was an after party. And boy did the two of you party....


You grabbed on to Mena's hand, while the two of you entered the crowded, loud after party. The night in London was wild. Everyone was out, Big Ben was lit and the party music was so loud that you felt the vibrations of the bass of the music hit within the room. "I'm not sure about this Mena." You say loudly in his ear over the music. He turns to you. "Come on. This isn't your first party!" He said in return. "I know, I know. I just. Never been in London, at a party like this where huge celebrities are here." You replied. He smiled. "You'll be fine. Look you're here, looking gorgeous. There's no need to feel bad. Don't worry about." He replies taking your hand, letting it go from his grip. "You just got to get out there. Let loose. Have fun!" He says as he winks. "Mena!" A voice said yelling through the music. It was one of his costars. "We're going to take cast pictures here from the after party. Come join!" The guy said gesturing him to follow. "I'll be right back ok?" Mena said your ear. You nod and let him leave as you stood there hoping for him to return quickly. 

The music eventually got softer, but it was still loud. You stood there, alone in your red, silk body con dress as you watched everyone else dance and drink. "Mena was right. Just have fun and let loose" you thought. You then proceeded to walk on over to the drink bar, where you met the bartender. "Give me whatever you got." You said. He then proceeds to pour you a drink in a shot glass. "Let's start you off small." He said. You chuckled. "Deal." You replied taking the shot glass. The drink burned your throat as you drank it. Your face turned bitter. "Ugh no. What was that?" You asked. The bartender smirked. "Vodka." He said. You then felt an after taste that wasn't that bad. It felt actually good. "Give me another." You said sliding the shot glass. He then poured  more and slid it back to you as you drank it, this time tasting it different than the first time. "See now that hit different in a good way." You say. The bartender smiles. "I assume you want more?" He asked. You nodded. He then eyed you up and down and leans over the counter. "I'm not allowed to do this but." He says grabbing the whole bottle of vodka sliding it towards you. "Since  you asked politely, and you are one fine lovely lady, I'll give you the whole thing." He says while getting a glass for you. "Now, please. Drink responsibly." He says giving you a kiss on your hand as he left to attend others. Not knowing what just happened you just took the bottle and glass and left, finding a table around the dance floor drinking endlessly. 

By the time Mena got caught up with his cast mates, he decided to go back to you. After all, he did want to spend the night with you. He went back to the place you were standing before he left  but he couldn't find you. He searched here and there and he couldn't spot you. "Did she leave?" He thought, feeling sad and worried, when all of a sudden, the music got louder and the dance floor started getting crazy as the people yelled and started to dance. And within the dance floor he spotted your red dress. "Oh no." He said under his breath as he followed you.
