Nemesis: A Love Story

TESSA

She's in the bathroom now. Just her and a lesbian couple fucking like champs behind her in one of the stalls. She can smell their sex in the air. She's not sure if they're aware of her presence or not. She doesn't care. Right now her only thought is on the beautiful 3 lines of white powder spread out in front of her.
3 lines away from total blissed our numbness.
3 lines of peace from the past, quiet some the voices of ghosts in her head.
She gracefully snorts the first. Lifting her head in rapture before quickly dipping back down to do the next.
She catches her reflection in the mirror this time and everything stops.
She looks different. She looks tired. She looks pale.
She's turning into a ghost.
Flashes of coffins covered with floors.
Empty bottles of alcohol littering the floor
Loud music.
Screams.
Screams
Her mother's SCREAMS.
Her hands fly to her ears to stop the sound. Squeezing her eyes shut tightly.
Go away.
Go away.
GO AWAY!!!
She bolts from the bathroom leaving the blessed third line there.
She pushes through the crowd to escape.
She makes it to the lounge and stops cold at the sight before her.
The sun.
Here in this dark place.
Lucifer.
She tries to shake the conflicting thoughts from her head.
He hasn't noticed her. He's too preoccupied by the girl with her lips wrapped around his cock. Her red lips moving rhythmically up and down. One of his hands is fisted in her red hair. Guiding her or forcing her movements, she can't be sure.
Tessa doesn't know why she remains there watching.
Doesn't know if it's the surprise of this act being so openly and blatantly done in front of others, some actually getting themselves off to it.
Or if it's the look on his face, a look of controlled distain, with underlying gratification because he is getting a blow job after all.
The sounds the redhead is making clearly she's enjoying herself. Why wouldn't she. He is heaven to look at. He is the sun. But the sun will burn you alive if given the chance.
Fuck the coke must be kicking in because she swears he's heard her and he looks up, a look of sheer surprise, panic and uneasiness before he manages to slap his mask back on.
He smiles at her then. Those eyes. That face.
A look of satisfaction, of desire. He starts to get into it then. Was he playing it up for her? She watches as he starts to moan in response to the suction on his dick.
His doesn't break eye contact with her. Even when he grips the other girls hair tighter in his fist and she makes a noise of complaint. Up and down.
The sound of sex.
"See something you like?" He asks arrogantly.
Tessa sways slightly on her feet.
"No" she whispers but somehow she knows he's heard her. His hand lets go off the redhead.
He leans forward, the girl in his lap forgotten.
His blue eyes are fixed on her and where she stands
"Liar"
She sways again. The walls are closing in around her.
"Mirror" she says simply, as if somehow he'll get her meaning.
From the look on his face he does and she turns quickly almost knocking over a tray of drinks but manages to sidestep it and disappear into the safety of the crowd.
Leaving him, and the screams inside her head behind.
