Chapter Three: Clubbing the pain away

Helen's POV

As soon as my shift was over, I clocked out and took off. I felt that if I had remained another second at that suffocating job, I would've killed someone. I walked quickly to my small car parked at the end of the parking lot next to the many fancy and expensive foreign cars belonging to the wealthy customers. I couldn't help but sigh. I hopped in my small car and sped off, anxious to get far away.

i pulled up to my best friend's apartment. I was afraid that if I went home, I might run into him and that bitch again. I quickly went into the building and got into the elevator pressing her floor. I got off and walked to her door banging on it. "Who is it?" her sweet voice came through the door. "Avery, it's me" I said before hearing a click and the door opening.

"Hel, What are you doing here?" she asked, slightly confused of my presence. I pushed my way inside and collapsed on her couch. "I had no where else to go" I mumbled. "Did something happen? You were a little angry when you came into work today?" She asked, worry sketched in her tone. " Eren dumped me and he was cheating on me. For a year! A whole fucking year!" I hit my forehead with my palm. " How could I not have noticed?" I could feel the anger beginning to bubble back up from inside of me.

"Oh Hel...." Avery whispered before walking over to the couch to sit next to me and wrapping her arms around my body. " It"ll be okay. I mean, there so many other guys besides Eren. I always thought of him as a jerk anyway and you could have did so much better. I think this is a god given chance to go out and find someone who could make you happy."

Avery looked into my face smiling and I couldn't help but smile back. Avery had hazel brown eyes with long dark brown hair and tanned skin. She was from Puerto Rico and we were roommates in college. We had became really close over that four year period until finally we were inseparable. She owns the restaurant I work at and she even hooked me up with a job working there.

"You're right Ave. I don't want to spend another second of my life grieving on my failed romance." I said getting up from the couch. "That's my girl! I know what would be perfect for you tonight." She said getting up excitedly. "What?" I asked directing my attention towards her. "Clubbing!!"

"What? No!" I half yelled. It's been about a year since I last step foot in any club and I know it's not going to be comfortable for me just to go into one randomly. Ave pouted at my answer. "Vamos a divertirnos! Do you know how long it's been since we last went clubbing together? Let's enjoy ourself for one night." She pleaded.

I looked into her begging eyes for a minute before finally giving in . "Oh alright. But not for long, okay?" She squealed and jumped up and down. "Yay! We're going to have so much fun. Let's go get dressed." She pulled me into her bedroom and went to her closet pulling out countless dresses.

"Why do you own so many dresses?" I asked watching the huge piles of different dresses that covered the king size bed with amazement. "What can I say? I like to shop" She said with a small smile. After she was done pulling out most of the dresses, she turned to me. "Now.... Pick a dress"

I looked over the different choices of dress that laid on the bed. My eyes wandered over the many dresses until they fell onto one particular dress. I lifted it up to get a better view of it. It was a plain hot pink dress with the back cut out and a strip of cheetah prints going across the stomach. it wasn't too formal nor too whorish. It was just right.

"This one" I said still looking at the dress in my hands. "One of my favorites. But you can't wear that without the matching shoes" Ave said before disappearing into her closet and coming back with hot pink cheetah print shoes. i looked at the shoes and smiled taking them out of her hands and placing them near the dress.

I took a shower before putting on the dress. It was fitted showing off the curves that was always covered by either a wattress uniform or joggers and stopped right above my knees. The shoes seemed to set the dress off even more. I styled my hair in loose curls that flowed down my back and applied a little make up and lip gloss.

"Wow.. you look... wow" Ave said as I walked out into the front room. She was wearing a gorgous fitted turquoise blue dress with black and turquoise blue heels. She looked beautiful with her blue eye shadow and straight dark brown hair. "You look wow yourself" I said walking towards her. "You ready to go?" she said with a smile. I nodded my head and followed her out the door.

We drove for about 25 minutes before pulling up to a club called Draco. I could hear the thumping of the music from the parking lot. "Isn't this one of those clubs that you have to be a member to get in?" I asked staring at the high class club that we were walking towards. She pulled out a gold card flashing it towards me. "Don't worry. I got us covered."

We walked up to a booth that a boy, no older than twenty one, was sitting at reading a magazine. He looked up and smiled when he saw us. "Oh Avery, You're looking as sexy as ever" he said with a smirk. Avery rolled her eyes and slid the card through the opening. "I see you brought a guest" he said looking over to me and biting his bottom lip. "Hey, I'm Jay." "And she's not available" Avery said causing me to giggle.

"Go on in" Jay said pressing a button causing the door to slide open. Avery and I walked in and the door closed quickly. We walked down the dark hall and into a room filled with flashing lights, loud music, and dancing people. My eyes widened with amazement as I looked at the room filled with people dressed in expensive clothing either chatting away with drinks in their hand or dancing.

Avery led me over to the huge bar and we slid into a seat at the table. "Two shots of tequila." she said to the bartender before turning back to me. "Tonight were going to have some real fun!" she shouted over the music and I nodded smiling.

Before I knew it, I was on the dance floor. I had just downed my 5th shot of tequila and I'm guessing that by now I was pretty drunk. Avery was dancing next to me as we swung our hips side to side to the music. "This is great!" I slurred over the music. "See I told you. Let's Club the pain away!" she yelled.

I felt someone dancing behind me and I smiled pushing onto him. I began dancing on him and we swayed to the music. I looked at Avery who had completely stopped dancing and stared at the stranger as if mesmerized. I looked at her confusingly and turned around to see who I was dancing on.

My eyes widened. I wasn't too drunk to forget that handsome face and those beautiful grey eyes. A smirk played at his lips and the sparkle in his eyes showed his amusement. "Who would have thought we'd meet in a place like this, Chocolate Ice cream."
