Once Upon A Night (ON HOLD)

chapter 3

I pinched the bridge of my nose as the smell of alcohol and cigarettes invaded it once i walked into the club, my best friend veronica by my side.

"Its quite packed for 7 in the evening"  she screamed over the loud music which was blaring from every corner of the club. I nodded quickly as i let my eyes roam over the place which was filled with mostly young adults who were grinding on each other like their life depended on it.

My eyes widened in shock once i noticed that most of the people there either had a cigar dangling from their lips or was covered in numerous tattoos and piercings.
"Ver i really think we should go" i suggested, immediately regretting my decision of coming.

I glanced at veronica who was twirling the tip of her raven black hair, her blue eyes focusing intently at something at the far right corner of the room.

I followed her line of vision to see a fairly built guy with a cigarette dangling from the far right corner of his lips .

"Chloe" Veronica turned to me , a pleading look in her eyes. My eyes widened once more as realization struck me at the meaning behind the single calling of my name .

She was going to leave me here

"Ver" i said, a warning in my tone. She jerked her head in the direction of the guy, her facial expression saying it all.

I'm hurting doesn't mean you don't deserve a good time.

"Go" i muttered with a defeated sigh . She scanned my face thoroughly, her face dropping into a scowl.

"I feel bad leaving you when i dragged you here in the first place" she pouted.

"No no no ver. Go have fun ill just take your advice and get drunk, meet a couple guys" i said, jabbing her elbow with mine playfully, flashing her a weak smile.

I am definitely  just gonna sit down on a bar stool and wallow in self pity

She still looked somewhat unconvinced but i could tell she chose not to question any further. "Don't collect drinks from strangers and no matter how small the problem is you call me" she said, her words coming out in a  rush before she dashed to the side of the bar where the guy was. I watched them flirt for a while before i retired to a bar stool .

I ordered a shot, trying to focus on the small glass instead of the fact that i was publicly rejected which was one of the reasons i was at this place.

                To forget

I looked at my reflection through the small mirror fixed on the side of the side of the bar.

My face was coated with what looked like light make up but felt extremely heavy. I was still in my sundress from earlier but was now paired with heels.

I was heavily tempted to go home and change into sweatpants, tie my hair into a messy bun and cry myself to sleep but if i was going to 'get over my unhealthy infatuation with Ryder' as veronica put it . I had to start somewhere.

I threw my head back, swallowing the contents of the glass. It burned badly at first, settling in a warm puddle at my belly afterwards.

I took down shot after shot, staring at the people on the dance floor who looked to be having sex sessions instead with no veronica in sight

    At least one of us is having a good time

"Is this seat taken" A gruff male voice questioned from beside me. I averted my eyes from the  dance floor to the person beside me who had dark eyes, a python tattoo starting from his shoulder to the starting of his fore arm.

I giggled at the snake which looked to be glaring at me from my view.

"Have this one instead" I said, stumbling up from the one i was currently perched on . I slammed double a hundred dollar bill on the counter not bothering to ask for the ideal price.

I walked in a disgrace of a bee line, stumbling once in a while as i tried to maintain a normal walk before i tripped.

Damn you ver for making me wear these death sentences.

I closed my eyes, waiting patiently for my impact with the floor but it never came.

"are you okay" a voice said laced with an accent i couldn't quite place.

What is it with male voices today?

I peeked out from one of my eyes to be met with blue-grey eyes staring at me so i did one thing.

I hopped out of his grip and puked

All over him.
