Dark Truths

Chapter 1

"Lux open your door already! It's freezing out here!" said Zoe who was standing outside with Aiden.

As I put on my leather boots I said to myself " Duh it's freezing it's almost the middle of December."

"Coming!!" I shouted throwing on my favorite dark green muscle tee. I stared at myself in the mirror and admired my body. I weigh 125 pounds which most girls at my school would kill for. My hair was dark, long and curly and my hazel eyes have scattered gold flecks. For the most part I'm a catch the only problem is I don't like dealing with idiots so I tend to come off unapproachable. I stopped looking at myself and threw on my leather jacket and headed towards the door.

"Sorry guys. I got stuck cleaning at the end of my shift at Mocha again. I'm excited to hit the club though! Let's show these people how to party!"

They laughed as we walked through the snow covered pavement heading towards the cab. As we sat in the car we told the driver to head to Bowery Ballroom. The cab smelled of cigar smoke and the seats were leather and the cab driver actually spoke English so it was decent.

"I can't believe I'm 18 now", said Aiden. I looked over at him and for some reason I felt the urge to hug him. His green eyes stared off out through the window admiring the scenery. I noticed he was starting to grow some stubble along his jaw and chin and his dark wavy hair was hanging just over his eyes. He's also 5 feet and 9 inches tall which makes him a giant compared to my height of 5 feet and 3 inches.

"Yeah we're getting older and next is Lux in 13 days", said Zoe who was sending multiple text messages to everyone we know to meet us at the club. She always was the one to get along better with everyone at our school. Zoe has the typical blonde hair and blue eyes with the rocking body with long legs and stands at 5 feet 6 inches. She's also on the cheerleading team but she actually happens to be the most down to earth girl at our school.

"Yeah well I wouldn't be too excited for it. My mom is freaking out about it and it really isn't going to feel much different so I don't see what the big deal is" I said. "I think birthdays are blown out of proportion but that's just my opinion. "

"Lux please try to be nice tonight. I'm not inviting all these people for you to be rude to them."

"Yeah Lux try to be nicer", laughed Aiden.

I glared at him and then somehow when I seen his smile my anger went away. It started over the summer that I gained feelings that were more than friendship feelings for him but I don't want to ruin what we have so I just push them aside. It has been getting increasingly harder to not touch him though and now I'm suddenly regretting going out.

We reached the club to see it packed with people everywhere from our school and just the normal partiers. We walk right in without having to wait in line since I've performed here a few times and plus Zoe is always flirting with the bouncer.

"Wow it's packed guys. What do you want to do?"

"Drink!" said Zoe and Aiden simultaneously.

"Of course."

We head over to the bar where we order a round of shots with our fake I.D's. I chug 4 fast. I have yet to ever feel wasted and plan on accomplishing that goal tonight.

"Happy birthday Aiden! We love you!" shouted Zoe who was already having a blast. The DJ was doing great mixes from Gotye to Red Hot Chili Peppers to Rihanna.

Soon I was sitting alone since Zoe went to dance with some kid named Jake while Aiden was flirting with some girl named Ashley. I gave that girl the evil eye and then got off the stool to head to the back of the club for some fresh air and smoke a cigarette.

I sighed "Why am I always stuck being the friend" when suddenly I got this funny chill up my spine. I looked around to see if someone was around me but I seemed to be the only one back here. I decided to head back inside for some dancing before I got anymore weird chills.

"Lux come have some shots with me" said bubbly Zoe who was skipping around me.

"Sure."

"Yay!! Let's go!"

She dragged me by my arm and soon I had chugged 4 more shots. I felt a burst of sexual energy and I wanted to dance. I looked one last time at Aiden and wished he was dancing with me and not talking to that slut.

I walked to the dance floor with Zoe who then went back to Jake while I was dancing with a boy named Connor. He had these amazing bright blue eyes was 5 feet and 8 inches tall with the greatest abs ever.

I have never met the kid before in my life but I felt so attracted to him it was unstoppable. We were face to face while we stared into each other's eyes and his hands grabbed my hips as I rubbed against his body to the song Don't Stop the Party by Pitbull.

"How about we go sit down?" he asked in my ear.

"Alright." I was feeling great and all I wanted was to have sex with him. We sat down on a long lounge seat in a dark corner. For awhile we stood silent until I went in for a kiss. I got the same chill I had when I was outside and something told me he was different but the alcohol or maybe Connor was blocking out my good judgment.

It was passionate and intense like the kind where it leads to intercourse in the back seat of his car. He slid his hand threw my hair and gave a slight tug as I moved on top of his body straddling him. I pushed against him and we both let out small moans of pleasure. He then put both hands under my shirt and grabbed my waist as I kissed his neck when he said " I've never met a nephilim attracted to me the way you are."

I raised my head and looked at him confused. "What the fuck is a nephilim?"

"You don't know?" he seemed just as confused about me not knowing whatever he was talking about. I got up slowly and fixed myself before I headed back to the crowd.

"I'm not interested in whatever you're talking about so just leave me alone. bye." I walked towards the crowd while he tried to call me back. Great the first time I found a decent guy in a while and he turns out to be a weirdo.

I headed for the bar stool and noticed to my misery Aiden making out with Ashley and when I looked at my phone Zoe texted me that she left back home with Jake and would see us tomorrow.

My life sucks.
