Before You Go

Night of Confessions

(This chapter contains irresponsible drinking, and a sexual scene)

Natalie walked home that afternoon. She already missed Riley. All that she could think about was when they were watching a movie together. They were both covered in a blanket, really close to each other. The blanket smelled like Riley, but with a hint of lavender. Natalie started to slouch a little, causing her head to rest on Riley's shoulder. With her, she forgets about all of the bad things happening in her life, and she feels safe and secure.

She arrived at her house. Before opening the door, she took a deep breath... knowing that when she walks in, it's going to either be chaos or just plain silent. Slowly turning the doorknob, the girl opened the door and walked inside. She didn't see anyone. Maybe they were just in their rooms? Natalie checked each room too see if someone was in there. No one was home except for her. Feeling concerned, she looked outside. Their car wasn't in the driveway. "I could've sworn it was there a second ago..." She said talking to herself. A minute passed by, and she didn't want to waste her time over a car. Besides, sometimes they go places without her, which was something Natalie was used too. She went to her room, not knowing what to do.

An hour passed by, and she got a text from Riley.

Riley: Wanna do something fun?

Natalie: Sure

Riley: This girl from school is throwing a party tonight, wanna come?

*Natalie never went to parties, mostly because she's never invited*

Natalie: Umm idk, I guess so. Only if you're going :)

Riley: Haha! We'll meet at 9!

A party starting at 9? 9 was pretty late for Natalie, but it's ok because Riley's going... right?

Natalie's mom came home, exhausted. "Are you ok?" She asked. "Oh I'm fine, just had a long day." Her mother answered. Her mother always has a long day, mostly because of her job. Her dad does too, but he spends every second of his free time drinking. Natalie sighed and went back to her room. She decided to lay down and rest until it was almost time for the party. 

The event started in an hour. Natalie woke up and started to get ready. Picking an outfit from her closet, finding a blue long sleeve dress, black fishnet stockings and knee high boots. She washed her face and put on her makeup. Smokey eye looked best on her, which was supposed to be her "special event" look. She quickly said bye to her family and ran out the door. 

Riley was already outside in her car waiting for her.

"Are you ready to have the best night of your life?"

Natalie nodded with a yes. They drove off and and passed the the view of the tall skyscrapers in the city of Philadelphia. The host of the party lived in an apartment that is pretty close to downtown, so people go up to the roof and enjoy the city lights in the nighttime. Natalie's hands were shaking. She had no idea what was going to happen during the next few hours. When they arrived, they both got out of the car and looked up. "Well, this is it." Riley said, excited. Both of them walked inside and was amazed by the luxury. Natalie stared at Riley. She looked so perfect. Actually, everything about her is perfect. Natalie's heartbeat raced and started to blush. Riley stared back and smiled. This went on for at least 2 seconds. "Oh uh, so should we be using the elevator?" Riley said, snapping back to reality. Natalie agreed and they both went in the elevator and went to the 3rd tallest floor. They finally arrived at the correct floor and walked through the row of doors. The two girls found the right room. Riley opened the door, letting Natalie walk in first. The place was huge, and luxurious. People were having fun, talking, or having drinks. Riley grabbed Natalie's hand and dragged her to the counter where the drinks are. "Here take a shot!" She said, as she was pouring alcohol in her cup. Natalie grabbed the glass and drank it. The taste of the drink tasted weird, maybe because she never drank before. Riley already took a few shots, not slowing down. "Hey slow down!!" Natalie said in a worried tone. "What? No, the fuck?" Riley said, in rude tone. Natalie never saw this side of her. She got mad and decided to drink. She was not stopping. The more she drank, the more drunk she got. She decided to grab the rest of the alcohol and chug it down. Almost everyong saw her. "CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!" everyone said repeatedly. She finished the rest, which wasn't a lot, but listening to the sound of cheering felt like victory to her. She went to Riley and they both danced and having the time of their lives for the rest of the hour. Riley suddenly grabbed her hand again and took her up in a room. "What the hell was that???" Riley said, raising her voice a little. "What are you talking about babygirl?" Natalie answered back in a flirty tone. "When you chugged that whole bottle of alcohol you dummy!" Riley said, making herself and her friend laugh. They were both drunk, but Natalie drank more than her. "Because it's fun" Natalie said. Riley grabbed her hand once again, taking her to the rooftop. "Where are we going?" Natalie asked."To the rooftop." Riley answered. After 2 flights of stairs, they made it to the rooftop, looking at the bright city lights. Riley looked into Natalie's eyes, staring at them.

"I like you, Natalie... I like you a lot."

Natalie's eyes widened.

"Heyyy I like you too!"

Riley blushed. They stared into each others eyes and kissed. Their heartbeats raced and their blushing wouldn't stop. Riley pulled herself away, holding Natalie's hand. They both looked at the view of the city, talking. "You know, your eyes always sparkle" Riley said nervously. Natalie laughed. "Thanks, but your eyes sparkle way more than mine haha..." They continued flirting with each other,  making each other laugh, and enjoying each other's company.

As time passed they got bored and kissed again. But this time it was more passionately. They were both still a little drunk and probably won't remember most of the things that happened tonight. Natalie kissed her lips, going down to her neck. "Not here are you crazy?" Riley said. They both left the rooftop and went back to the place, squeezing through drunk teenagers. They both went upstairs, hearing moans from another room. Natalie joked around and yelled "FINISH HERRRR!!!" Riley couldn't help but laugh. The moaning stopped and the guy opened the door, giving both of them a look, then going back to what him and the girl were doing. The girls walked into the same room that they were in earlier and started kissing again. They both turned on the nearest light, which was a remote to an led light, pressing a random color. The whole room was lit in blue and they continued what they were doing.

"I have a question" Natalie said.  

"What is it" 

"Will you be my girlfriend?" 

Riley's pupils dilated and answered with a yes. Natalie smiled and kissed her girlfriend's lips gently. They cuddled for the rest of the night, accidentally falling asleep into each other's arms in the end.
