Crystal is a shy, sensitive girl that meets Micheal on her first day of school. She thought nothing of him, just another boy in her class. Little does she know the rollercoaster of emotions she is getting on by opening her heart to him.
Sequel: it's...
Its been 2 weeks since jonathan has laid a single stare at me, I am honestly tired of how childish he can be. He cant handle having a conversation like the adults we are and working out the problems that we have.
Micheal has also been MIA since we last saw each other that same night. I keep replaying the almost kiss in my head again and again. Am I a bad person? I mean I didn't kiss him, but what would've happened if Amelia hadn't walked out that door? The thoughts disappear as I hear April calling me out to take the customer's order. From the corner of my eye I can see Sarah staring down at me for the fiftieth time today. I swear its like that woman has an obsession over me. I still cannot believe that she would tell MY boyfriend about MY business. She's supposed to be my boss and act professionally , not like a typical high school mean girl.
I always check my phone here and then to see if Jonathan has called or texted me. Nothing. Its as if I completely vanished from his world.
"Crystal if you keep checking your phone I'm going to have to hide it from you." April says. I know she's right. It's like waiting for a fire to start on its own. Useless and impossible from happening. I stare down at the red promise ring given to me from our first night here. It truly shows that words can mean nothing at all, and if he really did love me, then he would know that nothing happened that night. As tears form from my eyes I pull the ring from my finger and shove it in my pocket, if I mean nothing to him then why should his promises mean something to me?
"You know what you need?" April says as she finishes making a Vanilla Bean Frap. She then looks up at me big a huge smile plastered across her face. "Girls night!!!" I look at her and slowly nod my head no, telling her that I really don't think that its a good idea.
"Come on!! What else to do? Check your phone for texts from nobody?" ouch. She was right tho, I stayed at home all day doing nothing, the only time I would leave was for school and work. I look up at her and ask "What do you have in mind?"
"Club Prada. New York's most exclusive bar to ever exist. Bring Amelia and Julie along too, we will all make sure you will have the time of your life, no boys needed." she says practically jumping up and down with excitement.
"Club Prada? That's the stupidest same I have ever heard." I say as she proceeds to give me the buzzkill look. "Plus Julie is very underage and so are we. I'm not about to get in trouble because of you. How about Movie night and pizza instead?"
"You do that every weekend Crystal. Plus we can get in easily, I have connections" she winks at me and I really don't want to hear it from her all day and weekend long. I sigh as I look up at her and say "fine". She once again begins jumping up and down and proceeds to grab me by the arm and we make our way to my house.
As we get to my apartment, I knock at Amelia's door, to which she immediately answers, I laugh to myself as I see Netflix turned on and 3 bags of empty chips on her couch. We both take weekends very seriously.
"You up for a girls' night? It'll be me you, Julie and April, the girl from work that I have been telling you about." I point to April and she gives a grin as she waves at Melia. I know she will say no to this, she HATES being social.
"Hell yes. I need some alcohol in me" she says and her response makes me want to punch her. She quickly runs to her closet and grabs a colorful skirt with a lacy black bra, and a matching colorful jacket on top. My jaw drops as I see her walk out of her apartment.
"Damn Melia, you fix up nicely" I tell her as she we make way into my apartment. I had already called Julie on our way over here to make sure we didn't have to wait on her. You could tell her hours before but the girl is slow as hell. I really don't know why. We all greet each other as we begin changing into our dresses. I look through my closet to find a gorgeous red dress that I have never worn before, now is a good as time as any I guess.
As Melia adds the final touches to my makeup, my phone begins to ring. I look to see the person calling is Jonathan. Before I could even react Melia picks up my phone and declines the call. "Hell no, stupid piece of shit. You think you could just vanish for two weeks and ghost her? I think the fuck not." she says and looks over to Julie "no offense" she laughs as she nods her head "dont worry, he can be a dick, I know. But you should answer him Crystal. He told me he feels really bad about it and wants to apologize." I look down and start playing with my fingers. I dont know what to do.
"hey forget about it okay? It's girls night which never ever includes boys." April says as she takes the phone from my hand.
"She's right. I mean look at us, we look bomb as hell. April get a picture of us please." Amelia says as pulls me to get a cute picture together. They're right. My world shoulnt have to revolve around boys 24/7. I pucker my lips, feeling confident in my looks. If Jonathan can't see my worth then maybe someone else will.

April told the truth when she said she had connections, her friend had let us in easily and as soon as we walk in we see a huge crowd in the middle of the dancefloor dancing their heart out. That or they are just very drunk and not realizing what they are doing. The first thing I do is walk towards the bar and ask for a shot of vodka, and pour it down in seconds. The girls look at me amazed, not knowing that I had it in me. Eventually all of them, even Julie joins us on our drinking spree, and everything slowly begins turning into a blur for me. I knew this would happen, mainly because i'm sad and thinking about Jonathan. I have to live a little, so the thoughts of him quickly fade from my mind as i shoot down another shot of god knows what. At this point I let the bartender give me whatever he wants.
I then can't keep balance of my walking but I somehow manage to pull myself together to dance with April amongst all of the other drunk people on the dance floor. All is well before i feel an embrace of hands on my hips. I turned confused as a group of two weird dudes have their arm around both me and April "you seem out of it, maybe we can take care of you fine ladies." he says to which panic starts to rise within me. I managed to pull out of his embrace as quickly as I can, April as well and we immediately grab Julie and Melia and get out of that club as quick as possible.
Once we think we are safe we once more hear the creeps behind us. We all start to worry knowing that we have no on here to protect us, and not being stable enough to protect ourselves. We then push ourselves against the wall as if all our visions begin to get blurry at the same time, and i feel arms around my hips once more, and see another man holding Julie. I tried with all my power to release myself from the man, but he was holding me tighter. I hate myself for allowing this to happen.
Before anything else occurs I see a figure punch one of the guys in the face and I then hear "Let go of her you son of a bitch" to which the guy holding me also gets punched. Letting me go which caused me to almost fall to the ground, but then I am caught and carried bridal style to Amelia's car.
"Hey its okay dont worry. I wont let anything happen to you." At first I thought it was Jonathan, but then I noticed he was walking Julie back, while April and Melia were holding onto each other for support.
"You're safe okay? I got you" and then I put the pieces together and realized the person holding me was.....Micheal. And to be truthful. I have NEVER felt safer.
