Mine

Chapter Thirty

She had zero color in her face other than the dark circles that lingered under her eyes. She has lost an alarming amount of weight in a short of amount of time. "How is this even possible?" She whined to herself in the mirror. She sighed loudly and quickly looked away. She needed to at least attempt to make herself look nice. She padded over to her friend's room to see what she had. She pulled open the closet and stood there for a moment looking at everything, nothing seemed to grab her attention.

Instead of thinking too much into it she just pulled out a simple black dress hardly even looking at it. She trudged into the bathroom and peeled off her clothes. She refused to look in the mirror to see herself naked. She knew she would hate the person she saw looking back at her.

She pulled the black dress over her head, it came down to mid thigh and she was surprised to see that it actually hugged her body nicely.

She ran a brush through her wavy hair, no matter how badly she thought of herself she would always love her hair, it was one of the very few features she liked about herself. She started to apply cover up to her face doing her best to hide the dark bags and she also applied a generous amount of blush to her cheeks to make it seem like she actually had color and was not a walking zombie.

Just as she finished with the mascara Jill appeared at the bathroom doorway. "Wow, Liz you look hot!" She gushed, Elizabella just rolled her eyes knowing that Jill was only being nice. "No, I don't but this is as good as it's going to get." She shrugged which made Jill sigh. "For someone who has been in hiding for three weeks doing nothing but crying you look good so stop it. We're going to have fun tonight." She chirped while pulling out lipstick from her purse and held it out. "Thanks." Elizabella said sheepishly while taking the lipstick and applying some to her lips.

She took one last glance and tried to smile but it just looked wrong. She walked out of the bathroom and passed Jill so she could put on a pair of heels. She threw on a pair of black pumps that went well with the dress. She sprayed some perfume on her wrist and rubbed it with her other one. "OK, I'm ready." She announced while grabbing her purse and making her way into the living room.

Jill smiled brightly and led the way out of the flat. "I'm so glad you decided to come, you need this!" She cheered while they made their way to her car. Elizabella gave her a half smile in return. "Thanks for coming back for me." She said quietly as they got in.

Jill pulled out on to the rode and turned on the radio and started humming to the tune. "So where are we going anyway?" Elizabella asked while pulling out a cigarette from her purse and lighting it. "Oh just this new club, it's suppose to be nice. Something new, yeah?" She chirped while glancing over to her. Elizabella nodded trying to ignore the double meaning in Jill's words. "Who else is coming or is it just us?" She asked nervously and Jill knew exactly what she meant. "Don't worry Nate won't be there besides I don't think it would really be his scene anyway. Jared is meeting us there though along with his friend Grayson." She said in reassurance. Elizabella sighed in relief. "Who's Grayson?" She asked curiously now.

Jill grinned mischievously. "Just one of his friend's, I've only met the guy once but he seemed really nice and he's laid back." She stated in a casual tone and Elizabella immediately knew what was going on. "I'm not interested." Elizabella stated firmly while taking a long drag of her cigarette. Jill just laughed loudly over the music. "That's fine, I was only answering your question." She shrugged but Elizabella knew all to well what she was planning.  

When they finally got there Elizabella took note on how long the line was. "Well bloody hell Jill we won't ever make it in!" Elizabella stated but Jill just shook her head. "I know the man at the door." She pointed and Elizabella nodded reluctantly while Jill grabbed her hand and pulled her to the front. Elizabella kept her head down ignoring the glares from others.
