i felt bad for elmo, i hadn't told him anything about the plan but i didn't really need to, he could barely keep it in his pants as it was. part of me felt guilty, another one of chase's friends betraying him for his girl, but that guilt was blocked out by my ill will and wish for revenge. the music was loud, and the lights dimmed and colorful, the smell of alcohol and drunk teenagers filling my senses from the second we walked in. my eyes darted across the suite, looking for chase, and when i caught myself wishing he was by my side i shook my head and asked elmo to get me something strong. chase would have to be the one to find me, not the other way around. fuck him.

the first few minutes were filled with pretending i couldn't feel every guy in there checking me out, awkwardly making small talk with people and trying my best to look like i knew what i was doing. but once the alcohol kicked in, i was a natural. my dress basically did all the talking, it's scooped, revealing neckline and the way the black satin perfectly draped over my curves as i moved said everything needed for the attention i was out for. elmo was confused as to why i was coming onto him so strong all of a sudden, but it didn't take long for his dick to do all the thinking as he pushed aside all common sense and started following my lead. i spotted chase from the dance floor, he was at the other side of the room, leaning close and saying something to chloe. the anger and confusion took control of my body and instead of walking over there to confront him i pulled elmo close, placing his hands on my hips and sensually swaying them to the beat of the music. he picked up on the rhythm pretty quick and his hands traveled along my body as i moved to the beat with my back to his chest, looking over at chase who still hadn't noticed me. all of a sudden elmo turned me around, placing his hands dangerously low on my back and as he leaned closer, the smell of alcohol from his breath made me want to be sick. i didn't want any of this. i wanted chase. what was i doing? i backed away from a confused and drunk elmo and walked off of the dance floor, turning my head for a split second, making eye contact with chase, god knows how long he had been looking at me. the look in his eyes shattered me even further and i couldn't take it, so i fled the scene and retreated to one of the bathrooms.

standing there, looking at my wrecked reflection in the bathroom mirror, it was like everything finally caught up to me. the photo of chase and chloe had been burned into my eyes forever but only now did i really feel the soaring pain it left behind. eyeliner ran down my cheeks as i crumbled to the bathroom floor, a sobbing, drunk, mess. elmo hadn't done anything wrong, but i felt the ghost of his touch linger on my body like needles. i hated to admit it, but i craved the soothing and cool touch of chases soft hands on my skin more than ever.
