Gone

New Year's

Chapter 1:

Isabel's POV:
"Oh my gosh I'm so excited to go that party tonight! I can't believe your moms letting you go!" I told my best friend Casey "I know. so your mom is still clueless right?" Casey said raising her eyebrow I could see more of her beautiful eyeshadow it must've cost a lot of money! "Uh, yeah I think.." I said I wish i didn't have to lie to my mom I love her a lot and I don't want to ruin our relationship but I think that right now I should focus on making it through highschool. which may mean I have to lie a little once and a while. "what do you mean you think? If you get caught we can't have our annual back to school sleepover and trust me it's going to be amazing." Casey said I wanted to believe her but for some reason I couldn't but soon I would find out. "I know don't worry she won't, she's going to bed early she said so it will be okay." I said Casey just rolled her eyes I knew she was about to say something about how 'lame' my mom is but then we heard a crash in her closet, we both froze terrified of why might be behind her white closet doors we both looked at each other and gulped, I looked at the closet then at Casey "your closet" I whispered Casey gritted her teeth moving closer to the doors and flung them open. there was her cat Cupcake waiting for the door to be opened "wow." i said "yeah I can't believe you were scared of a dumb cat." she said to me "you were scared too." I said raising my voice a little "whatever." she said turning around and heading over to her queen sized mattress that had her pink dress on it. "ah, don't you just love my dress!" Casey said her dress was a hot pink strapless dress that went down just about to her knees it flared out and was tight around her chest area, which I'm sure every guy would love. her dress probably cost over one hundred dollars when I just bought mine at a discount at our local mall I glanced at it beside Casey's she's going to look way better than me tonight. "it's gorgeous." I said with a hint of jealousy in my voice I wish I had as much money as Casey's family did. Casey smiled stroked her dress and turned heading to her bathroom which was in her room "I'm taking a shower, you can use any of my make-up in the third drawer or you can wait till I'm done and I'll do it." Casey said "okay." I turned looking at Casey huge mirror that you could see most of her room in, I wish I could have this bedroom I thought. I went over to Casey bed and say down beside her dress and mine my dress what navy blue dress that went down to my knees and had a tank-top like top that looked like I had bought at our local thrift shop. I sat there thinking. know one was home. Casey normally had the house to herself. her parents were away on a vacation for New Years and her older brother Connor was with his friends. I wish Connor would be at home more when I'm here. I may have a slight crush on him. he was so hot though he had blonde hair that he just let go crazy and beautiful blue eyes and a perfect smile just like Casey's. and soft pink kissable lips that I dreamed about kissing for about 3 years. yeah he's 16 and I'm 15 but whatever it could totally work. I am older that Casey by 4 months. it's not that weird.

"Okay so I see you sat on my bed and did nothing while I showered hey?" Casey said "yeah, I decided I suck at doing make-up so I waited for you." I said "of course." she replied grinning "I'll do your make-up and than you get dressed than I'll do mine." Casey said "okay." I walked over to Casey's make-up table and sat on the bench.

After Casey was done my make-up, I turned to observe it in the mirror. "wow, thanks." I said "no prob." she said she did my foundation perfectly my eyeshadow was perfectly blended and my eyebrows were perfect my lips looked cute and my mascara looked totally professionally done. I got up and went to put on my dress I took my blue jeans off and my white sweater and red scarf off and set it aside. I stepped into my blue dress pulling it over my strapless bra and zipped it up myself. I looked into Casey long mirror "I hate my dress" I said "why?" Casey asked "it's ugly and yours is beautiful mine is so not worthy of the new year." I said "oh come on it's not that bad. look if you want go check my closet if there is something in there you want go for it." Casey said "really? Thanks so much!" I ran to Casey's walk-in closet I heard Casey say "no problem, it's almost the new year got to start it right." I looked through all her dresses when I found a Burgundy dress it was a tank top sort of top but it had a gold zipper in the back and it had a perfectly rounded skirt and just seemed right. "wow, can I wear this one?" I asked Casey "yeah sure." she replied I smiled to myself. tonight was going to be great. or so I thought..

"Wow it's amazing in here!" I said looking around the huge house we were in, I didn't know who's house it was exactly but apparently Casey did so it was okay. "I know right! We're going to have a blast!" Casey said to me I squeaked "wait what time is it?" I asked Casey grabbed her phone rolling her eyes "lets just have fun. it's 9:00" I took a deep breath "you're right. c'mon let's go find some people!" I said Casey smiled we walked into what I think is the living room, I looked for someone I knew but I didn't recognize anyone but Casey sure did she probably said hi to 20 people since we've been here and I don't see anyone from school. finally I found some people from school and we all started talking and laughing and just having a good time.

"It's 11:45 let's go find boys to kiss at midnight!" Casey said "what? Really?" I asked wondering if maybe she was joking. don't get me wrong I've had my first kiss but I've only kissed three guys before. "yeah! Let's split up. text me when you find a hot guy and if you can't get him I'll help you out!" Casey said I giggled "alright." I gave up I was almost 16 I want to remember something fun from when I was a teenager when I'm 45!

I kept looking for an acceptable guy to kiss at midnight, but none fit the bill. I don't what it was but tonight just felt... off. Maybe I'm just nervous? I thought "5 minutes!" I heard someone yell. crap. whatever there is always next year. I pulled out my iPhone and texted Casey 'where are u? 5 mins. I didn't find a guy :( did you?' I pressed send and waited a minute but no reply, that's weird she always reply nearly instantly. "3 minutes!" Another yelled I checked my phone clock and it said 11:57 PM. Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw Casey's flash of blonde hair, I turned around but no Casey. "Wanna kiss at midnight?" I heard a manly voice behind me I turned to see if he was talking to me, and he was his green eyes staring intently into my brown ones I pushed my dark brown hair behind my ear "meh, why not." I said to the guy who was probably 17 and drunk, at least I'll remember this night. "10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...happy new year!" Everyone yelled the boy with the dark brown hair leaned in and pushed his lips to mine it was longer than I expected and it was a bit enjoyable I'll admit but I could taste the alcohol on his lips. I pulled away "wow." he said "I have to go now." I said to the boy standing a few inches away from me "oh, okay" he said I turned and ran to the nearest closet and went in I closed the door and locked it I turned the light on and there was towels on the shelfs on the right and games on the left and laundry on the floor, this is probably where they shoved everything before the party. I grabbed my phone out of my purse and dialled Casey's number I pressed call and put my phone to my ear I waited a few rings when I heard Casey's ringtone behind me. I turned around quickly and there was her new phone on the ground I didn't notice. I picked it up then hung up my phone an shoved if into my purse. I unlocked her phone and my text message popped up. I saw she started typing something 'oh my gosh issy! I found a super hot guy with brown hair for my kiss and Hiittgifnocpn$&@/' what the heck why would she leave her phone in this closet? And why would she type random stuff on it and not send me this message first? I opened the closet door and stepped out, not knowing a single person in the room. I can't find Casey and she left her phone here so I guess I have to call my mom. I'm really mad at Casey. When I see her she is going to wish she stayed by my side all night, I thought. Yes yes she will.
