In her mind, Eleanora silently thanked the person whoever was texting her. Her mother's family from Turkey was visiting the Azarola family, which in no case was not a happy occasion. Ivanna herself barely got along with her family, hence the reason why Eleanora hadn't met her mother's side of the family before; the girl was sure she hadn't missed out on anything. An hour in and Eleanora could easily see why Ivanna had forgotten of her family as soon as she met Emmanuel.
As inconspicuously as she could, Eleanora took her phone from her pocket, opening the message she had received. It was an invitation for a party, one that Samuel was throwing. The girl had to admit she was surprised as to why the boy was inviting her; after all, they hadn't exchanged any words with one another - Eleanora barely even acknowledged his presence.
The brunette was facing a dilemma, one that she never thought she would have. There was the option of staying home, somehow bear the hours her relatives were to spend at her house; on the other hand there was Samuel's party. She could endure running into Samuel, but the same couldn't have said about Nano. Eleanora was sure the boy would be present - she really didn't want to give him a reason to deliver his promise.
A part of Eleanora wanted to spend time with Samuel solemnly because of Nano. If she did so, he could clearly see that someone like him could never threaten someone like Eleanora. After all, why she should have cared if he'd tell of their hookup? It would be a hot topic for a day, and the next day it would be just as easily forgotten.
Managing a sweet smile onto her face - one that her parents never seemed to resist - the girl excused herself from the table. She heard no objections from her parents, yet when she hurried off she heard the distinguished voice of her grandmother scolding Ivanna from not keeping better track of her daughter. Heated words followed, ones that Eleanora didn't bother to listen to. Instead, the brunette answered Samuel's invitation affirmatively; being in the house was the last thing Eleanora wanted to do, even if it meant crashing a party and seeing the person she now considered her number one enemy.
As Eleanora stared at her closet, trying to figure out what to wear, she glanced at the list of people who were invited to the event. Not surprisingly, none of her friends' names were there; every other name she read was an unknown one to her, except for a couple of them. She rolled her brown eyes upon reading Marina's name, yet a smirk appeared onto her face when she saw Omar's name.
Perhaps the night would be tolerable after all.

The first thing Eleanora did when entering Samuel's apartment was pour herself a shot of tequila which she quickly drowned. The apartment was packed with people; for some reason the girl couldn't believe that all the people there were friends of Samuel. She wasn't, however, surprised to see Christian there along with Omar and Nano. For some reason Ander too was present.
Downing another shot, Eleanora plastered a smile onto her face as she walked over to the group. The brunette could instantly see Nano scowling while Christian greeted the girl with a smile on his face.
"Ay, looks who's here!" The boy yelled practically over the whole apartment; luckily for Eleanora the music was too loud, and nearly no one could hear Christian over the loud music.
"Hola chicos." Eleanora smiled, turning her full attention to Samuel who stared at her with a bewildering look on his face. "Thanks for the invite." She added to which the boy only replied with a nod before walking off, Nano hurrying off after him.
The brunette was more than surprised to see Guzmán there, yet when she saw him running after Marina, Eleanora wasn't astonished. Guzmán had practically dedicated his life to looking after Marina, a fact that the redhead was fully aware of. Eleanora was sure that Marina secretly liked the attention, no matter how hard she tried to convince people otherwise.
When she finally focused back on the boys she found herself alone, standing in the middle of the kitchen as an odd man out. Usually she would have enjoyed the party, but for some reason she couldn't force herself to do so which meant only one thing - the girl was in need of some liquor courage, and luckily for her, she had no shortage of that.

Her eyes closed, Eleanora rolled on the bed only to almost fall onto the floor. For some reason her queen bed was now a single-person bed? Opening her eyes the girl found herself in an unknown room, completely oblivious as to why she was there. Slowly she regained her memory as to what had happened the previous night: lots of drinking, a pill she had gotten from Omar, dancing; she was sure she had kissed someone, but as hard as she tried she couldn't remember who the other person was. At least she was in the bed alone, which meant that perhaps she hadn't done anything extremely stupid the night before.
Eleanora slowly stood up from the bed, desperately in search of her dress which was nowhere to be found. Grabbing a random shirt she pulled it over her body; her brown eyes landed on a mirror. Staring at her reflection made her admit to she looked horrible. Usually the first thing she would have done was fix herself to look presentable; now the only thing on her mind was to get out of the place as soon as possible.
The brunette could only hope her parents hadn't woken up yet; if they had, the chances were high that they were aware of their daughter not being home. Knowing them, they probably would make a huge deal out of it - the last thing Eleanora needed was to hear their scolding when having a hangover.
Eleanora silently opened the door, tiptoeing out of the room to find herself in the living room. She now understood where she was - for some reason she hadn't gone home, and spent the night at Samuel's place instead. The boy himself was asleep on the couch; luckily for her, Nano was nowhere to be found.
Usually the girl wouldn't have cared, yet now she felt guilty as she looked at the lying form of Samuel. He was barely able to keep himself from rolling onto the floor; the whole apartment was filled with decorations from the party and empty red cups were placed onto every surface possible. Silently placing her heels onto the floor, the girl walked over to the kitchen where she quickly found a roll of empty trash bags.
The least Eleanora could do to thank Samuel for letting her sleep there was to clean up which she quickly did - and when the brunette left, Samuel was still asleep.
