Loveless Shadows

Chapter 3

The rest of the week passes by in a blur. I spent almost every night at some random party getting wasted fucking random people. Trent's still hanging around. Lana's been bringing him everywhere. I'm not sure how many days of school I've missed but my grades are actually not that bad. 

Sarah hasn't tried talking to me since that day. Thank God. 

I'm laying on my back in bed with my book in the air reading. Lana had a bright idea for me to take her to a party with me. After arguing and fighting over it I finally agreed when she made it known she was going with or without me. So here we are Lana in my room asking me of all people for fashion advice.

"You know if could tape your damn mouth shut I would" I sit up in the bed tossing my book to the foot of the bed.

"I still can't believe you want to go to a party. What's with the sudden change. I thought you were to good for parties." I look biting my lip as she twirls in front of the mirror. Her hair is pinned up half up with half down. She has on this gold dress that barely reaches mid thigh. The top is dropping to expose the top of her chest. 

I honestly don't want to let her out the house with that on. "And what the hell are you wearing."

"You don't like it." she turns to me with a panicked look on her face.

"I like it. You look beautiful but I don't get why you're dressing all out." I huff throwing myself back onto the bed.

Her face lights up with that brilliant smile of hers. "Okay so if I tell you something promise you won't tell anyone or make fun of me."

I look up at her curiously. "Who the fuck am I gonna tell Lana. As for the making fun part. Up for debate."

She rolls her eyes and sucks in her bottom lip looking at the ground. "So um you know how I'm always inviting Trent places."

"Ugh Yea. Wait don't tell me you fucking invited him."

"No! Well I mean yes but that's not what I was getting at. Don't act like you don't like him" I kick the dump of clothes piling in the floor. 

"I don't like him. I tolerate him."

"mhmhmm" she crosses her arms over her chest.

"Fucking continue."

"Well I um-" She looks down at the floor again and blushes.

It finally fucking clicks. "No fucking way. You like the son of a bitch" I double over laughing.

She pouts at me and throws a hanger at me. "Heyyy I said no making fun of me."

"I'm not." I cough trying to cover my laughs. "I just never thought, fucking Trent aye."

She shrugs and starts putting on heels to go with her dress. "Yea, he's more like you in a way and I just thought If I went out to a party with him I wouldn't seem so stuck up you know. Which now that I say this doesnt make any sense at all. Ughhh." She plops down at the desk.

"You sound absolutely ridiculous. You are far from stuck up. And Trent hangs out with you all day everyday what makes you think he doesnt like how you are." 

"I don't know. Just paranoid I guess." she shrugs at me fiddling with her dress hem. God some females are just so ignorant sometimes. 

"Come on lets go before I change my mind and not let you out of this house." I roll my eyes grabbing my keys on the way out the door. 

"Trent said he's meeting us there." she says typing away on her phone smiling. "Who's party did you say this was again." 

"Some kid name Luke."

"I'm nervous, I've never been to a party before." 

"I know just relax you'll be fun."

The house the party is at is already packed. When we walked through the door there were kids grinding on each other guys playing beer pong and girls walking around half naked. 

I grab Lana's hand dragging her to the kitchen. I grab me a beer and Lana a soda. "Here drink up."

"There's no alcohol in this right." 

"No there isn't" I chuckle chugging back the beer.

"I thought you hated beer." she points out.

"I do, but alcohol is alcohol." I smirk before grabbing her and pulling her out to the living room and making her dance with me.

"Hey Trent's here." Lana points 15 minutes into us dancing. He pushes his way over to us snaking his arm around our shoulders which I immediately duck away from. 

"Hey ladies." he grins at us.

"Hey Trent." Lana giggles. This makes me want to puke on so many levels.

"I'm gonna go grab us a drink." Trent dismisses himself. 

"As soon as you two start dry humping I'm leaving." I threaten which makes Lana turn bright red.

"Oh hush"

Trent's back with three cups in his hand. I take mine downing the liquid. My throat burns as it rushes down.

"Oh. I don't drink." Lana says looking down.

"Oh God I'm sorry." Trent says awkwardly looking embarrassed.

"No actually its fine." Lana says before taking the cup and downing it coughing up a storm. Fuck I didn't see that coming. This is gonna be a long night.

"What the hell dude. You've completely lost it." I holler over the music. 

Lana's giggling and smiling all over the place. Fuck she's only had one drink and she's already wasted. I shake my head. 

"You did this so you better watch her." I point out at Trent turning on my heels and going back to the kitchen.

I grab a bottle of water after downing a cup of vodka. 

"Hey. Do I know you." A deep voice says behind me. I turn around being pushed back against the counter totally blocked. 

The face that looks back at me is none other than. Alexander. His dirty blonde hair a mess of curls on top of his head. His ocean blue eyes rake over my body stopping just below my collar bone.

He leans in. His breath warm as it passes by my ear. I can hear my breath hitch as his hands removes something from behind me before he leans away with a water bottle in his hand. 

"Raven it is you. Good to see you." he smirks at me. God he's messing with me. Two can play that game. 

"Alexander!" I throw on the fakest smile I've ever had. I move closer to him biting my lip batting my eyelashes at him. I move so close to him that my hand brushes the already forming bulge in his pants. 

"How have you been." I can see his jaw tighten as he tries to hold back whatever urge he's having right now. 

"I've been good. Just got back into town actually." He grunts. 

"That's great." I say looking as innocent as possible. "Will I be seeing you back at school."

"Ugh yea." he hisses out.

"Good." I smile standing on my tiptoes I lean up to his ear like he did me and plant a kiss on his cheek after softly biting his earlobe. I can hear the groan he tries to cover with a cough. 

I move back giving him room as he walks away hearing him throw out the word "fuck."

"Let the games begin." I smirk throwing back a shot.
