Alone

C H A P T E R 16 :( Part 2 )

The room starts to suffocate me and I stand up to leave but a hand on my wrist stops me.

"let me go with you" he says and I nod shooting him a quick smile and starts to walk out. I burst out in laughter looking at people doing funny dances and their head too big for their bodies.

I hear a chuckle behind me and I keep on walking. I stumble upon things and I trip, falling on my knees and I chuckle, welcoming a nice feeling. A hand reaches out to help me get up and I gladly take it.

Before I reach the door, I remember something and I freeze making the person behind bump into me. I quickly turn to the bar to pour myself a drink my tongue has been yearning for it.

I quickly grab a cup and pour the liquid and head to the door to see the 'stranger' I think, waiting for me. I open the door and walk out, squeezing my eyes shut as the lights seems to be very bright.

I giggle at myself as I take a sip on the liquid. A hand touches my shoulder and I turn only for my breath to hitch. I narrow my eyes at the familiar stranger. "You look like my friend" i say reaching his face with my hands.

"You squishy" i say giggling as I squish his face and he chuckles. "Woaw, how did I get here" i ask looking around as we walk outside. The cold breeze hits my face and I grin.

"I think you had enough drinks don't you think?" the person asks as he reaches for my cup then I gulp the drink in one go and giggle at him. "Thank you Mr Elephant" I say walking to the pool singing my kindergarten song.

"Goodmorning Mr Elephant, how do you? I'm very well thanks and how are you?" I sing as I slightly start hoping around as I roam around the garden. I walk to the 'stranger' remembering something.

I spot him sitting on one of the the chairs around the garden and I giggle.
" Hey Mister "I say and he turns towards me looking funny and I laugh.

" Hy shortstuff" the 'stranger' says and I narrow my eyes at him. He said he liked me and I leaned it not thinking. "I wanna kiss you stranger" I say before crashing my lips on his. He tenses a bit before returning the kiss.

I pull away with a giggle as I look at his eyes. He looks awfully familiar but I just can't pin where I know him from. "You taste like my friend mixed with weed" i say climbing the table and dangling my feet.

What did you do.? You're starting to hoe around showing how worthless you are.

The voice comes back even louder and I get of the table, running around yelling for it to stop. I suddenly hit a wall and I stop yelling as I mumble a sorry to the wall.

The wall pulls me into a hug and I sigh. My lips starts to quiver as a lump forms in my throat. The tears starts building up and I let them fall.

Why are you crying? Who do think is gonna help you huh? You pushed everyone away and now you're alone.

The voice says and I sob hugging the wall tighter. After crying, my head throbs and I sigh. "My head is tipping over" I talked to the wall that chuckles. I started feeling hot even though there's a nice cool breeze outside.

I took of my flannel shirt, my shoes, socks and the shorts, letting out a breath of relief.

I walked over to the pool and jump in, feeling the need to get wet. When I get out of the water, I walk back inside feeling the need of the cold drink I was having, leaving my clothes and the stranger outside.

When I reached the basement, the party seemed to still be going even though some passed out on the floor. I went to the bar barefoot in my black thong and tanktop, dripping water.

I pour myself the drink and gulp it down in one go feeling the energy inside me bubbling up. I start laughing I don't know from what and walked back to the group of people who seems to have increased.

I take a sit on some random guy and take the blunt from him and smoke . A circle forms and I get off the guy and go to sit on my own spot. We start playing 'seven minutes in heaven', spinning the bottle.

I didn't even hear the rules or anything they said besides the name of the game. My adrenaline start pumping and I stand up and go to the dance floor. I dance, grinding and shouting in excitement.

****

I open my eyes only to meet nothing. I slowly lift my head and find my head in the cooler box. "My head is killing me" I say reaching out to massage only to see my hand in a jar, the other one holding pizza.

How did my hand get into a jar? How did I get pizza? I look around to see people passed out on the floor some standing and I on the other hand, passed out my head in a cooler box.

My head feels too heavy and my legs arw stuck. I look down to see that I was only wearing a thong and a tanktop. Where are my clothes? Wait if I'm here wearing this, it means I have to up to my room half-naked.

I start panicking, heat rising on my face , my head not helping. I quickly rush out of the basement and run to our room. When I get there, Jess was passed out on the bed, Lilly no where to be found.

I groan and slump in bed but ofcourse my stomach had other plans. My throat starts to feel like it was poured with acid and a bile rised. I rush to the bathroom to throw up.

When I felt like I wasn't gonna throw up anymore, I rinse my mouth and go to the couch, being the nearest thing I see even thought the bed is literally next to the door.

I slump on the couch and let the darkness consume me. I don't remember anything that happened yesterday besides the pink liquid I drank and anything after that, is a blank.

****

I groan as the light shines in my face and I turn to the other side, only to fall on the floor with a thad, groaning more.

"Wake up Mel" a voice I assume is from Jess says and I stand up, my eyes still closed. "Close the shades" i say while rubbing my eyes trying to adjust them to the lighting.

"C'mon you've been asleep since yesterday, it's half three" She says and I sigh.

"i feel like I was run over by a bus, died, then came back again only to be hit by a train" i say while rubbing my head and she chuckls.

"Where were you last night? I looked for you everywhere until I got tired" She says handing me a bottle of water and I shrug.

"i don't know. I woke up in the basement with a pizza in my hand, the other one in a jar and my head in the cooler box" I say drinking the water and she laughs.

"Damn! Seems like you enjoyed the party" she says smirking looking at my state and I sigh. "Don't even know where my clothes are" I say walking to the bed that's been made.

"Ah-ah. No sleeping again missy, we're going out" she says and I groan. I want to stay in bed today, doing nothing. "What happened to your knees" she says worryingly and I looked down to them to notice small bruises and I shrug.

"What was in those things?" i ask and she chuckles, shrugging. "Go get ready, we're all going out for brunch" she says and I groan. I walk to the bathroom and cleaned myself, getting rid on the smell I had.

While in the shower, I just stare at an open space letting the voice take control over me. Once I'm done I walk over to the mirror to see a hickey on my neck. How did I even get a hickey?

I'm never drinking ever again even though it numbed my pain away.
