My New Best Friend

Chapter 28

Ch. 1.1.

Krystel

I woke up wondering where the hell I was, then I noticed Emily laying next to me. Half naked may I add. Shit!! The night before slowly came back to me.

Angela's party...

My mouth was so dry and all I could see was alcohol everywhere. I sat up trying to adjust my eyes to the daylight coming through the window.

"Morning gorgeous, how about round 2?" Emily smiled rubbing my back.

"Round 2?" I asked confused. My head was pounding. I felt like actual death!

"You don't remember us making love? That hurts baby, I'll let you away with it though since you were pretty wasted hey," she smirked. I tried to remember as much as I could about what happened. I know I was alone with Emily at the end of the night and she kept coming on to me, I did say no a few times but I must have been so wasted that I agreed in the end.

"Yeah and whose fault is that?" I got up and put my clothes back on. I wasn't happy about this, I mean this wasn't me! I got stupidly drunk on Tuesday then I did something really stupid on Thursday night, I went to Emily's and she was drinking. She told me she took drugs sometimes and they made you feel so great about yourself. She waited until I was quite drunk and offered me a pill, and me being stupid took it. Worst mistake of my life ever. Why am I acting like this? It's just not me. Now God knows what I had last night but I've ended up sleeping with Emily and I don't even remember it!

"Chill baby!" Emily said reassuringly. I looked at her and she snapped a pill in halves and offered me the other half. "This will make you feel amazing."

"No thanks," I snapped. I liked Emily but not enough to start taking drugs. What was wrong with me, I didn't want to take the stupid pill in the first place, I was just too scared to say no in case she laughed at me. I cared about what she thought of me.

"Do you care about me Emily?" I looked her in the eye to see if I could read her. She looked me right in the eye and smiled.

"Everyday I spend with you, I care more and more. We could have something so great." She actually did want to be with me, this made me so happy. That's all I wanted to hear from her, I know she wasn't the best influence on me but I saw something in her that others didn't. Her sweet caring side, there was just something about this girl.

"We could have something great!" I smiled and leaned down to kiss her on the lips. "I'm going home to sort myself out before my mum and dad gets back, I'll call you later babe" I said grabbing the rest of my stuff. Luckily it wasn't a long walk to mine.

Mum and dad were at the golf course today having a meal and mum was meeting some of dads friends and their wives so I knew they wouldn't be home, thank god. As soon as I had closed the door behind me I grabbed a bottle of water out the fridge and practically downed it in one, I ran myself a hot bubbly bath and picked some fresh clothes to wear, I was going to sheryls for dinner later. Getting in the bath it felt like heaven, 'ah this is the life' I smiled. There's nothing I loved more than a hot bath. I lay there for a while just thinking about things, I missed Sheryl and was glad I was seeing her tonight. I knew she didn't like Emily but she had no reason not to, except of course the drugs, but she didn't know about that because I hadn't told her. I wanted to but I knew how she'd act. It's not as if Emily is a murderer, she doesn't hurt anybody. She just likes to have a little fun in life, nothing wrong with that is there..

After my bath I went for a couple of hours sleep then got up and got dressed. I put some make up on and grabbed my phone. I walked to Sheryls, the fresh air done me good. As I approached the door I got a little nervous, why was I nervous?

"Hey you" the door swung open and Sheryl was standing there with that gorgeous smile grinning. She had white skinny ripped jeans on, a brown off the shoulder top and some high top wedge trainers. She looked hot as usual, her hair was perfect like always too. She gave me a hug and I could smell her perfume, I loved it.

"Hey, how are you?" I smiled following her into the kitchen. She had the music channel on in the background. "I brought this for you" I said putting a bottle of wine on the table.

"Didn't think you'd be up for drinking after the week you've had" she laughed a little getting two glasses and pouring us some drinks.

"Shut up you" was all I could think to say to that comment. I took the glass from her and sat down.

"I made spaghetti bolognese, I hope that's alright?"

"That's great, it smells amazing sher" I smiled taking a sip of my drink. We ate some dinner then went into the living room to have a few drinks.

"I've kinda missed you krys" Sheryl said. I looked at her and she looked a bit sad.

"I'm here anytime you need me, you know that."

"Are you though babe?" It went quiet for a minute, I didn't really know what to say to that.

"I'll always be here for you, you know that." She changed the subject after that. We talked about work, tv, famous people, anything but Emily or school.

A few hours later and we were both a little tipsy..

"Have you ever tried drugs krys?" Sheryl asked out of the blue. She took me by surprise with that question. I was instantly paranoid, why ask that? There must be reason.

"No" I lied "why, have you?" I looked at her and she looked close to tears.

"Have you ever lied to me?" What was up with her tonight.

"No I haven't Sheryl, what's with the questions?"

Everything went silent with only the music on in the background. Does she know I've tried drugs? Maybe she's testing me, why else would she ask me.

"Just wondered Krystel, I didn't think you'd lie to me. I didn't think a girl like Emily would come between us either."

I was getting angry now "oh here we go! Gotta being Emily into it, she's never said a bad word about you so what's your problem with her?" Sheryl looked quite pissed off too now. I really didn't want to argue with her but I was annoyed, why blame Emily.

"She's using you" she s said simply.

"We are getting serious now, we even slept together last night" I blurted it out before I had time to stop myself. Sheryl went quiet, she looked quite hurt.

"You slept with that? You are hanging out with Angela and Paige when you said you were nothing like them. You're taking drugs then lying to my face about it. I don't even know who you are anymore. If you wanna ruin your life with idiots like that be my guest. You're obviously just as stupid as them" I couldn't believe what I was hearing, why was she being horrible like this.

"Why do you think you're better than them Sheryl?" She just laughed sarcastically. "I'm serious about Emily and if you can't be happy for me then you're not the friend I thought you were" I shouted.

"Yeah and you're not the friend I thought you were. Well it's your loss babe. I don't want anything to do with you anymore, but when Emily hurts you and let's you down, which she will..believe me! Then don't come running back to me. You'll see one day. I honestly can't believe how stupid you are being" I got up, that was enough, I don't need to sit and listen to this crap from her.

"I'm going, have a nice night!" I said sarcastically. I went to leave and Sheryl grabbed my wrist.

"Do you know the sad thing? I thought you were so much better than this."

"Well you thought wrong didn't you" I snapped pulling my arm away and walking out the door. I didn't want to go home feeling like this so I headed straight for Emily's, at least she knows how to have fun...
