The best of me

1

Spin the bottle......

It all started with this.
Sometimes you find yourself in situations and moments when you want to take the remote control and scroll back to change all the events.
If she would entered a minute later or earlier, then perhaps she wouldn't have been so bitter and her whole life would not have turned into a mess.
Why did fate play a dirty game with her again? dejavu?

She looked at the bottle spinning on the floor and thoughts in her head spun with greater speed. Too many thoughts, she could not cling to any one, emptily looking at the pretty girl opposite she immediately dropped her gaze back to the spinning object, in fear that her eyes would betray her and look at him one more time

The girl's smile reminded her that what she saw was true. And now it didn't matter who chose the dares or the truth, the fact that he responded to her kiss was enough to break her heart into million pieces. Unable to hold back the tears, which were ready to splash out if she just blinked, she got up and quietly headed for the exit.

She hoped to be unnoticed and thank to God the music was loud enough to cover her steps sound, but what she didn't know was that her friends were watching her.
Bending down to zip her shoes , she felt someone pat her on the back.

"You leaving?" Wendy asked, glancing at the others to see if anyone was following her. The girl knew the reason and understood why she decided to leave, it was not a spontaneous decision and she clearly saw that the girl didn't want to attract attention.

The moment she turned, Wendy's face saddened. The stains of tears were visible on her soft cheeks, she looked broken, like a little child who had been badly offended. Wendy's hands clenched into fists, she could not watch how her precious friend, her younger sister, as she considered her to be, bite her trembling lips so as not to cry out loud.

"Shhh ... shhh." Engulfing her in the arms she shushed her stroking her silky raven hairs "How dare he...."
"Don't.." Joy just shook her head at her words "it doesn't matter anymore" her voice cracked.
Wendy was furious she barely hold her anger inside. How could he do this to her? "Do you want me to came with you? Let's go to a cafe and talk a little? Hmm?" She pulled back looking at her with a small smile, but Joy immediately refused. "Suga oppa will be waiting for you, no need to give up the fun because of me, I'll be fine." She sniffled and tried to smile to reassure her friend, but it somehow felt like a grimace. "I'll just go home and sleep. Don't worry, and don't tell others, I don't want to be killjoy here" she chuckled bitterly at her own words and went out.
She climbed into vehicle and drove out of the house. Even when she left, she looked in the side mirror, despite the fact that she did not want anyone to see her crying, she still hoped that he would come out after her, but no ...
it was all in vain. 
She laughed at her luck, somehow she did not tell him about her feelings, but was still left with a broken heart, at least he did not know about it.  She didn't feel humiliated by his refusal and did not ruin their friendship.  At least something good.  She thought, wiping away her tears.

Jin's home parties was usual for them all. Every time after passing exams or tests, or just when they wanted to hang out together, they gathered at Jin's.  Not that they didn't have the opportunity to go to clubs or any other parties, no, rather they couldn't afford it.  And again, someone would think how this is so, they are all children of rich parents, who if not they can walk around expensive clubs and waste money, as spoiled children usually do.  But in their case, everything was different, many of their families were not just businessmen or famous people, they were involved in politics, and for this very reason, they had to behave with restraint and decent, they had no right to make a mistake, they couldn't  allow themselves to be like others, being ordinary young people, fighting and getting drunk in bars, going to parties and clubs, all this could destroy the reputations of their parents in an instant, not to mention the fact that it would destroy their friendship, which they have been for many years  built and treasured.
