path of redemption

chapter eight.

-Estella romano

I always hated parties. Every single thing about the term "party" brought this nauseous feeling to my stomach. I hated the people . Dancing , drinking . Drunk people , every single one of it. I think i hated it because, ive never experienced that , I've never truly experienced fun. I always preferred my own space as my comfort zone. Binge watching paranormal movies and tv shows. My bed , my sanctuary. Sometimes i wish i was more like my brother. He was the life of the party. He was always smiling and i envied that so much. He was actually the one sibling I'd go to if i were to feel lost. Thinking about doing substances tonight , that could ruin my health later in a few years made my palms sweaty and my heart racing. I thoughts snapped out of my head the mintue april , rory and i walked downstairs . "The morning" by the weeknd filled the house , as i saw different people grinding against each other and spilling drinks into their mouths.

I grimaced , as april held my hand , whilst rory was behind me , i saw people stop and stare at me as we made our way through the sea of people. It kinda felt good , to get this attention other than the attention that i regularly get which is mostly disgust. I squeeze aprils hand as we walk "head held up high" rory whispered in my ear. I turned my head over my shoulder and mouthed a "thank you" while she was nodding and smiling.

April comes to a spot at the kitchen counter where drinks are standing , she immediately licks her lips and smiles . I shake my head in amusement as she pours herself a drink and two more , i raise an eyebrow as she moves one my way. Before i could protest , she holds up her hand "please stel , just this one night. Be anyone you want , just this once" she pleaded holding the cup infront of me.

Not being myself sounds tempting and it's only for one night right? What's the worst that could happen?.

I nod hesitantly as she squeals and pushes the cup in my hand , i take it and sniff it , my nostrils burn as i grimace "shit april , are you trying to kill me?"i cough as my nose burns , they both laugh , rory shakes her head in amusement "small sips love , small sips " she gestured for me to do so.

I put my mouth on the cup as i tipped my head back a bit , cold strong liquid filled my mouth with a hint of watermelon .

Hmm its not that bad.

I swallow it as the burning liquid goes down my throat "its good" i nod and they smile as they look into the dancing crowd .

"You guys can go dance yk?" I offer them as i take another sip of my drink .

They both turn to me as they grin wickedly. Oh no that cant be good. I put my cup down on the counter. As i point at both of them "whatever you guys are thinking of doing , dont "i warn them and both of them grab onto each of my arms as they pull me into the dancing crowd "guys no!" I squirm in their hold as they drag me into the middle with them.

"C"mon stel , its just dancing , besides its not like you dont know how. You're italian. Plus you used to dance bitch" april says as she sways her hips a bit
"Shes right , and with those killer hips , i dont think any guy here tonight would he able to keep their hands off you" rory says as she twirls , i roll my eyes playfully as they begin to sandwich me "fine , you guys are lucky the weeknd songs are my favorite "i said as i started to get lost into the music. I swayed my hips against rory as april did the same with hers to my front.

I felt hot . No i felt alive . People started turning towards us as we basically gave them a sexy lesbian pornshow. I opened my eyes and i could see the hockey team all standing together with opened mouths. My brother looked at me and nodded proudly , i closed my eyes again as i turned towards april and basically swayed my hips to her front and threaded my hands into her hair , i felt rorys hot breath on the back of my neck as aprils hot breath on the front of my neck .
