Mistakes Could Happen

Alana's PoV

About five months had passed since I met Ambrose. We had gotten really close, which was not the plan at all but he is really persistent. During our Easter break(I think Americans call it 'spring break') I had formally introduced him to 'Niya and they got along quite well, I officially had a group of friends again. I feel like imma regret this. It was now approaching  August which happens to me AND Ambrose's birth month and since it was summer we could do what we wanted without worrying about school. To be honest, even though I and Ambrose were practically best friends he still hadn't know of my countless failed romances, thanks to another good friend of mine, alcohol, he was about to find out. 

  "Ayoooo AB in the house!" Ambrose stated obnoxiously busting through my front door, my mom was off on a work trip so of course I wasn't gonna be alone."Hey ambrose" 'Niya who had not long gotten here greeted him absent-mindedly as she ticked away at her phone. "Must you be so loud?" I rolled my eyes as he walked over to us. His smile dropped into a childish pout "Y'all are mean" he plopped on the couch. "Aweee," I said as I pushed myself up off the floor and attacked him with a hug "Is that better, yuh big baby?" I smiled at him fully this time. His face lit up "Yes, much". 

  I rolled onto the couch sitting next to him as I proceeded to play with Niya's hair. "Guysss," I said giddily kicking my feet like a little child, "My birthday is in 15 daysss" I giggled "I'm going to officially be 18!". "Well mine is in 10 days so I win" Ambrose copied my leg swinging and giggle, this earned him a smack on his shoulder blade. "It wasn't a competition punk" I scowled at him. "Ok before you two start" 'Niya interjected "Which day are we celebrating, because I can't get blackout drunk 5 days apart....or maybe I can" she trailed off. "No worries we decided to celebrate in between so 13 days from now you can get as crunk as you want." I said flipping her lose curls over into her face "Heyyyy you don't know how long it takes to diffuse these." she said gently fixing her hair. "I wanna see Ice Queen drunk, maybe she's less of a stick in the mud." He booped my nose as if he didn't just blatantly insult me. I swatted his hand away "I am not! You just haven't seen my party mode." I folded my arms and sat back facing the television. "On a daily maybe she's a little stick in the mudish but trust me not when she's out, I think the atmosphere morphs her, like a.... werewolf." Niya chimed in, joining us on the couch. "Oh I have got to see this." Ambrose commented back in response.

  13 days flew by, my mom had returned a few days ago so Ambrose had gone home but since me and Niya were separated for quite some time she decided to stay. We decided that night we would just go to the hypest club and...well get hype. My mom was working the night shift and wouldn't be home until morning 8 maybe 9, she handed me her card while saying, and I quote, "Be home before me and don't make me regret giving you this card". "I wanna borrow your black sneaks'" 'Niya said as she put in her hoops. Niya had on an off-the-shoulder ruched body-tight army green dress that was about mid-thigh length, with fishnet stocking, and was currently looking for my platform sneakers, since she forgot hers. Her hair was done into a high puff with her edges neatly laid, she also wore some light makeup that consisted of eyeliner a beautiful red lip kit that popped against her lighter complexion, and topped it off with light blush and tons of highlight. "Top right of the closet 'Niya, open your eyes and look sometimes," I replied while putting on mascara, I had on a black mesh shirt with a white floral bralette underneath and adorable light blue high waisted jeans. I wore white spider web-like leggings along with the black version of the sneakers Niya was currently was looking for. I also wore my hair up but in a very different way, I wore a high slicked back straight ponytail with bangs, for the first time in a while I put earrings in all three of my ear piercings. I also had on slight makeup, eyeliner that was much more prominent than niya's, along with an overwhelming amount of blush, highlight, and lip liner topped with strawberry lipgloss. "Damn I look good!" I checked myself out in the mirror admiring what I saw. "We look good" Niya corrected me sashaying into the mirror causing up to giggle, "Damn right" I played along with her, just then her phone rang.
