Tame Me

Nellie's POV:

It's been two weeks and Burgundy isn't herself anymore. She's only a shell, a mere shadow of her former self. She sleeps, eats, smokes her cigarettes, and blankly stares off into space. I love her like a sister, and it's so hard seeing her like this. Maxine can't even bear to look at her without tears forming in her eyes. Insomnia had me last night, so I drank tea and thought about our shit-uation. I just might have a solution.

Burgundy's POV:

Sometimes I think we're the brightest stars
And I try to believe we'll find a way
Will lives change when our hearts turn colder?

All the rhythms in my heart lift me up inside
We can't stay out of trouble, is it worth the blame?
Is it true that the more you give, the more they take?
All the rhythms in my heart lift me up and say

All your love will make us ache
All your love is worth the chase
All my love, I know we're you'll find it
All my love's up on the mountain tops

Ariana Grande's song All My Love echoed in my mind for hours nonstop. I wanted to escape my buzzing mind. Will there be no end to the torment? I asked myself, burying my face into my pillow. 

"Hey B, I have an idea." Maxine said, sitting on my bed, interrupting my sadness. I sat up, wiped my face, got a cigarette from my bedside table and lit it up. "Uh huh." I said. "Nellie and I are gonna take you to a club tonight to cheer you up. We need some girl time and you need to get out." she said, smiling widely at me. I raised an eyebrow. "We're underage." I said bluntly. "Yeah, but Benji and Dean can get us in. Please? For me and Nellie?" she said. I rolled my eyes. "Let me guess, this was Nellie's idea?" She grinned, "Who else?"

"We have to get you pretty." she said, eyeing my disheveled self. I laughed. "Good luck with that hell of a job."

"I did a damn good job." Max said, eyeing her finished masterpiece, which was me. She had somehow put me in a sparkly gold and black dress that barely covered my ass. She kept my makeup simple; she put heavy concealer on my under eyes, a thick cat-eye accentuating my gray-blue eyes, and gave me a nude/pink lip. She finished my look by curling my long hair and paired me with black stilettos. I had to admit, I looked pretty badass. 

Max quickly got dressed in a coral pink bandage dress, complementing her tiny curves. She put her hair in a loose braid and slipped on white mary-jane heels. We quickly walked down to the lobby where Nellie was waiting for us in a midnight blue sparkly mini-dress that looked great on her. Her hair was in her signature waves and she had on black signature Jeffery Campbells. "Let's go, Dean and Ben are waiting in the Jeep outside." We got in the Jeep and I popped open a bottle of champagne in the backseat, which was me, Nellie, and Max. I took a swig and passed it to Nellie. Maxine sighed as she was passed the bottle after Nellie took two swigs. "I'm ready to get drunk and really just let loose for the first time in my life." She said, then guzzled the bubbly drink. 

"Same, girl." Nellie and I commented. "Yo, Benji," I yelled at the driver, "where we goin'?" I asked. "A club called Rise. It's the best one in these parts." He said, steering through traffic. "Also," I said, "could you turn up some JAY Z?" He laughed and Dean, in the passanger seat, connected the stero to his phone to N*ggas In Paris. "That's what I'm talking about!" I yelled. Dean took the top off the Jeep and Nell, Max, and I stood up and danced, shouting at the starry sky.

 The stars is in the building

They hands is to the ceiling

I know I'm bout to kill it

How you know, I got that feeling
