Chapter Fourteen

"Girls you better hurry!" My mom called walking into my bedroom. "It's already dark outside."

"Okay, we are!" I replied, looking into the mirror. I was wearing a tank top and shorts (To go under the dress), my hair was straight at the top then transformed into prefect curls, I had on a thin line of eyeliner on with a bunch of hot pink eye shadow, lots of blush, and my skin was kinda pale-ish.

I smiled then turned to look at Julia. She was wearing a long black dress, her hair was temparly sprayed black and was more spiked up then ever, she had lots of dark make-up on complete with a witch hat.

I grabbed my dress and yanked it over my head, then having Julia button the back. I grabbed my tiara and slipped it on my head, spraying a bunch of hairspray all over my hair, then added some lip gloss. 

I slipped on some black high heels. "How do I look?" I asked Julia, twirling around in my dress. 

"You look amazing." She replied grabbing our Halloween bags we were going to use for the candy. "Thanks for coming with me, Anna."

"Yeah." I still didn't want to go, but then again I was excited to have fun, pretend all of this never happened.

She handed me my bag and we took off down the stairs.

"Soon enough, you two are going to be too old for this." My mom told us.

"Your never too old for free candy." I told her with a small smile.

 As we headed out the door I felt a twinge of guilt. I was going to enjoy myself again... Tonight I'll pretend I'm not pregnant, that I didn't get raped. I thought.

We walked a couple of blocks before beginning to go to houses. Soon enough our bags were filling up.

We walked about three miles from my house before our bags almost full. My legs were beginning to get so sore, I couldn't take it.

Julia noticing me slow down turned towards me. "There's a party about a block from here, wanna go?"

"A party?" I stared at her smile, she had known about this party all along. "Oh so that's why you wanted to walk this way?"

She smiled her mischievous grin at me. "Come on Anna, tonight is suppose to be fun, just one party?"

I sighed, "Fine. Only one though." 

She grabbed my hand and dragged me off. About a block down she turned into a yard of a really nice house. I could hear music already.

Julia and I had to zig zag past a couple of werewolves, and fairies to get inside. Once inside I saw about one hundred people at this party all dressed up. 

"Who's house is this?" I asked Julia, having to yell to get her to hear me.

She smiled, "Zachary." 

"Zack?" I asked her, anger flared inside me. He hadn't talked to me in days, I know what I said wasn't the nicest but he went out of his way to ignore me. 

"You two have to make up!" She told me.

"I'm leaving!" I turned away trying to get past about five people.

Julia grabbed my hand. "Anna, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, please don't leave!"

"I should of just stayed home!" I screamed at her, luckily no one could hear us because of the music. "This was all a mistake!"

I yanked away and started towards the door, when a slutty blonde bunny walked in front of me. Ashley. She was wearing the most sluttiest costume here.

"A bunny?" I asked sacasticly. "How orginal."

She was holding a glass of spiked punch. "Whatever." She replied with a giggle.

Oh great, she's drunk. I thought. I looked around, and a couple of feet away was Zach. He was the only person who wasn't dressed up. 

Ashley saw who I was watching and walked over to him, well more of stumbled. 

"Hey, Zach." Ashley said, he didn't even notice me.

Ashley leaned forward and kissed him, before he could say anything. I saw him kiss her back, and that's when he saw me.

I turned away and left.

Outside I felt the tears leak out. Why do I even care? I asked myself.

I came to a stop as I realized why that kiss bugged me so much. 

Julia ran up to me giving me a huge hug, she apparently had saw everything. 

I tried to speak but it came out in a sob. 

"It's okay..." Julia told me, not breaking away from the hug. "This is all my fault, I shouldn't have taken you here."

I shook my head, pulling my phone from my pocket. I quickly sent a text to my mom where we were and to pick us up. 

I made my way to the curb and sat down. "Why didn't I realize this before?" I asked Julia as she sat next to me.

"That you like him?" She whispered.

I nodded. "I'm so stupid, of course he's going to go for the slut."

"But she kissed him."

"Yeah, but he kissed her back!" I closed my eyes in frustration.

"Anna?" I opened my eyes and turned around. Of course, Zachary was standing there.

 "What do you want?" I asked him with disgust.

"I wanted to tell you I'm sorry." He wouldn't meet my eyes.

I stood. "Well, I don't want your apologies, why don't you go back and make out with Ashley."

I heard my mom's car pull up, so I turned away and got in with Julia. 

As we drove away I didn't look back once.

We pulled up to Julia's house. 

My mom looked at her. "Am I gonna just drop you off then?"

I could hear the faint sound of yelling coming from inside. 

"Can Julia spend the night?" I asked my mom. Even though I wanted to be alone, I couldn't let my best friend deal with what was going on inside.

"Of course." She replied.

We went inside to get her stuff, and I saw that it was worse than I imagined. 

Her parents were yelling, and throwing things. We hurried and got her things together, and were headed out the door.

"I'm spending the night at Anna's!" Julia yelled, knowing her parents heard but didn't care.
