After our night out, i dropped Romie home, and drove to mine,parking the car in the same parking spot,and trying to be discret, it worked til i got inside the house
"Honey did you see my car keys ?" my dad asked, while he was looking for them i slowly placed them in his bag and went to search with him
"Did you search your bag ?" i asked
"I don't think so ,wait let me go check"
He looked through his bag and obviously found them,i let out a breath of relief
"You're a life saver" he said smiling, i smiled back and headed towards my room when he said
"Where were you by the way ?" he asked playing with his car keys
I cleared my throat " i was with Romie, she needed help, she is still hurt about the divorce, and it's my duty to help her out"
"Oh okay, poor girl, just don't wake your mother"
"You got it" i winked at him, he smiled.I went to my room, and laid down in my bed, yesterday's events still fresh in my mind, and with thoses memories replaying in my head, i fell asleep.
Romie got invited to a house party, she was allowed to a plus one, i was her plus one,she came to my house to get ready and plus my house was closer to the party's location.
"So what are you going to wear ?" she asked
"Im thinking sweatpants" i suggested
"Are you out of your mind,this is our first party and you want to wear sweatpants !!"
"Yup,pretty much" i laid on my bed
"Oh my God your impossible"
"Look at the bright side, if the cops come which will happen by the way, we can run faster and thus escape them" i crossed my arms
"Screw it , sweatpants it is" she sighted
"Now were talking" i cheered
"How do you come up with these things"
"I have a wild imagination"
"Let's go"
We walked to the party,it was exactly what i expected,the house was filled with smoke,smelled like cheap perfume and shitty alcholol and really bad music,girls were wearing revealing clothes,made me feel under-dressed but at least i wasn't worried about flashing someone,while i was looking around,Romie found Rowan and they were talking and they looked like they were having fun, we made eye contact and i wiggled my eyebrows, that alone made her a blushing mess. I was debating if i should go join them but i didn't want to interfere, i kept admiring the place,there was nothing to admire honestly,it was chaos, i felt suffocated,i was starting to relate to Alessia Cara; i went out for fresh air, who ever owned this place is too rich to sudy in a public school, they had a freakin pool. I knew wearing sweatpants was a good idea, i folded my sweatpants to my thights and stuck my legs in the pool, the water was cold but it was refreshing.
"Cold isn't" Adam said
Adam was my classmate, i was suprised he was here,he was always secretive,kind of reminded me of Romie
"yeah"
"suprised to see me here"
"Emm" i squirmed
"im just messing with you" he nudged me playfuly
I laughed "i am actually suprised your here"
"Yeah, my friend dragged me here"
"Same,how's your first party ?" i asked, i was genuiely curious
"Not my first party" he scratched his neck
"No way,your messing with me"
"Im not actually"
"Im suprised"
"Figured, it's always the same reaction"
"Well can you blame them,you keep to yourself,your so closed off and private" i confessed
"Well i just don't like talking to closed mind people"
"I don't blame you"
We talked a lot,we joked around,class was going to be more bearable with him, our conversation was cut short after his friend called him over
"Well i gotta go,friend"
"You could've stuck with "well i gotta i go" " i teased
"Well awkward is the way i roll" he winked
It was 2 am and Romie was nowhere to be found, i tried looking for her in the house, but it was impossible, i was losing it, i couldn't think straight, what if something happened to her,i tried asking people if they saw her, my final hope was upstaires, i searched each nowhere yet nothing, there was a door i failed to notice, i opened it, it had staires, i wasn't going to go up until i heard an " oh, shit", someone was there, and i was noisy i admit it,it led to the roof,i went up and finally found her.
She had an alcohol bottle in her hand,whiskey to be exact ; i sighted and climbed the roof
"What are you doing"
"The sky is so pretty"
"I was worried sick about you"
"Can we stargaze, just like old time"
"yeah sure "
"But first drink up" she handed me the bottle
I was hesitant, i never drinked before, she must saw my uneasiness
"It gets easy once you take a sip, trust me" she pushed the bottle in my hand
"There goes nothing" i took the bottle and smelled it "Yikes" i looked at her and drank up, it tasted like vinegare and it had a smokey taste in it, i was pretty sure i looked ridiculous cause Romie wouldn't stop laughing
"Im proud of you" she petted my hair
"The sky is filled with stars tonight", " i want to be star one day" she said
"Well your system is filled with alcohol and i really want you to be sober right now"
"You need a drink" she passed me the bottle, i drank up
"God, its so disgusting"
"But addictive "
We sat in silence,my brain was fuzzy, i was feeling tipsy, and it wasn't a bad sensation
"My mom is a mess" she revealed
"Is it because of your dad"
"Everything that is happening is beacause of him, he's gone and he's never coming back, and if that wasn't selfish enough he took my mom with him,maybe not physically but emotionally and mentally"
"How are you holding up"
"Im good as you know we were never close but my mom, she was so in love with him" she drinked " she is an emotional wreck, its like she's not there you know, she keeps zoning out and everytime she comes back from work she goes straight to her room, locks herself up and doesn't come out till the next morning" she took another sip
"I guess that's her way of coping"
"I guess"
"What did actually happen with loverboy" i asked
"Well it turned that he and your ex lover bet on me" she said
"Yikes, how much are we talking about"
"50 dh, i would've personally gone for 100 dh, i'd pretend to date him and we split the money"
I laughed "Savage "
"God" i chuckled
"But like jokes on him, cause i am hella gay" she laughed and i laughed along
"Cheers to that sister" we clicked our bottles together
I took in the moment, she never talked about her home life and i never brough it up.
"Come on,let's go dance"
"I suck at dancing"
"They are all drunk , so they probably suck too" she gave her hand, i took her hand and got up.
she almost fell and grabbed me
"Oh,shit"
"God, your drunk" i stated, she just laughed
We made our way to the dance floor and true to her words they sucked badly, she took my hand and she pulled me towards the dance floor. We let loose, we pushed our worries,our uncertainties aside,and danced the night away.
