I Thought Three Was A Crowd

Chapter 3: What's Up!

"Why are you not out with Brianna, Kelly?" Jordan asked me.

It was my friend's Brianna birthday today and we were supposed to be at the movies but I overslept. I rushed to get up and get dress. I was at least half way decent with some blue ripped jeans and a long sleeve shirt I found in my drawer. And I got some of Jordan's shoes on. He drove me to the movies but he wanted to talk on the way there.

"How are you feeling?" Jordan asked softly.

"I feel fine. I can't believe I overslept because I went to sleep pretty early last night."

I wasn't looking at him because I was texting Brianna and telling her that I was sorry for being late and that I was on my way. Jordan called out for me as if he wanted my full attention.

"Kelly!" Jordan said in a louder and deeper voice.
I turned to look and he took a quick glimpse at me since he was driving. I turned off my phone and put it down so he would know that I had his full attention.

"Kelly," he paused. "You know that I love you right. That I will do anything for you."

I looked at him with a kind of smile on my face but with question because he knew I already knew this so what was he leading up to.

"I just feel that I haven't told you that in a while."

Actually, he said it multiple times but I guess he felt the needed to right now. He had this sort of frown but smile on his face. Like he was sad but trying to keep it hidden. I've seen that half frown half smile before. Every time I look in the mirror. I wonder if I gave him that. What if my emotions was contagious? Does he not want to deal with me? All types of things went through my mind when he said that. I mean, I would understand how he felt. I was a mess. I'm in a messed up place in my life. Like, who would want to be around a mentally unstable, crazy bitch their entire life. Like, seriously. Who was I to be loved? I didn't deserve this. I was meant to be born, be tortured, be sexually abused and die. There was no time for anything else so why was I yparticipating in something else. We pulled up to the movie theater and I got out the car. Brianna was standing outside waiting for me.

"Have fun." Jordan said to me smiling.
I leaned in to kiss him.

"I will. See you at the party tonight. Don't be late."

"I won't. I Love you."

"I love you, too." I said smiling.

Then I closed the door and walked into the theater. The movie was really good. It was about this boy that travels back in time and had to stop himself form making a bad decision that would ruin his life. I went over to Brianna's house to get dressed for the party. She chose some clothes from her closet and made me try them on. The first outfit was a very short dress that barely covered my ass and my shoulders and arms were all out. I didn't really like it. The next dress was a blue jeans dress that stopped at my knees and had a jacket and necklace to match. It was cute but it wasn't really my style.

"You don't like nothing, do you girl?"Brianna said.

"They're cute but they aren't really my style. Don't you think?" I asked.

She gave me the last dress and waited for me to come out the bathroom. When I walked out, she just kept smiling. I was wearing a purple and blue dress that fit me perfectly. It would stop a little or an inch passed my knees and one shoulder was out. That was probably the only part I didn't like because I didn't really like showing my body. I felt as if every boy was already looking at me anyways so why give them something to pursue while they're looking at me at the same time. We walked into the living room filled with people and music everywhere. There were drinks and snacks out for the guests. It was like over 50 people there. I became overwhelmed. I had never been around that many people before and when I was, I would migrate somewhere but I couldn't this time. The whole house was like a zoo. There was no free area anywhere. I couldn't find a place to be alone. I stood in a corner with my arms crossed when I felt someone put there arms on me. Jordan had came behind me and hugged me. See, he is my knight.

 I went the rest of the party pretty fine. As long as Jordan or Brianna was by me. After a while, I got tired and sat on the couch and rested for a second. I kept my head down for a while but when I put my head up for the quick three seconds I did, I was mesmerized. I mean I was just stunned. My mind was all over the place like, what the fuck. I mean, how can something be so pretty. She stood there talking but I couldn't hear her over the loud music. She tried to talk even louder and I heard her say, "Can I sit here?"
I gestured for her to sit down and she did. She smiled at me.

"Hi. I'm Ashley."

She gestured to shake my hand and I replied by shaking her's and said, "Hi. I'm Kelly."
After that, I don't know what happened because then my boyfriend came to get me but I knew that I wasn't going to forgot Ashley anytime soon.
