Party

"It's nice to meet you, Violet" he spoke as he put his hand out. I couldn't help but notice how close his voice sounded to the one in my dream. I stared into his eyes. It's almost like I could see a storm behind them. "Violet, are you okay?" Alex asked, giving me a small nudge, snapped me out of my trance. "Oh, sorry. It's nice to meet you too," I gave him a small smile and put my hand out to shake his. I felt the coldness of his hand. I quickly shook his hand and took my hand away. He smirked at me and then turned back. Alex started the car and started driving.

We sat in uncomfortable silence. I looked out the window, and then the car stopped. I looked out and saw that we were in front of a club. "Um, Alex. I thought we were going to a house party" I looked toward her and she gave me a sly smile. She opened her door and got out and I followed. I grabbed Alex's arm and pulled it so she would look at me."Dammit, Alex. I thought we were just going to a college party, not a club. And we don't even have an ID" I whispered-yelled to her.

"It's okay, Benjamin knows these guys, they'll let us in." She whispers. "Alex, who is that guy anyway? How did you meet him? And why haven't you told me about him?" I asked. She gave me a nervous smile and looked behind me. I looked behind me and saw that she was looking toward Benjamin who had gotten out of the car. She looked back towards me as said. "Well, actually...he's my boyfriend?" It sounded more like a question than an answer. We walked to the club with Benjamin following behind us. I decided to ask her the rest of m questions when we got inside.

There was security standing outside the door and a long line of people. Benjamin walked toward the security guard and said something to him. The guard nodded and opened the door. He motioned us to walk inside so we did. Inside was dark with loud music and flashing lights. There was a bar and a dance floor.

Alex grabbed my arm and headed to the bar while Benjamin went somewhere else. "I'll take a cup of white wine," She said to the bartender. "I'll take a glass of water," I said. I never drunk any alcohol before and I wasn't planning on trying it. The bartender gave us our drinks. "So, how did you meet your boyfriend, and why did you not tell me?" I asked taking a sip of my drink. "Well, I had met him when I had gone out to the market, we ran into each other there and we started talking. He helped me take the groceries back to my car, and the reason why I didn't tell you is that I wanted to wait because I didn't know if he was interested in me." She rushed out.

Well, whatever you say." I turned away from the bar and watched the people dancing.

Something didn't seem right about Alex. She seems so nervous. And her boyfriend was creepy. Yeah, he was attractive but something about him didn't seem right. Alex wasn't someone who cared what people thought about her. She was pretty straight forward which confused me when she said she was scared that he would reject her. Just then Benjamin came to us and asked Alex to dance with him. She grabbed his hand and headed to the dance floor. I watched as they disappeared into the crowd. Alex left her drink on the table which was half full. I sigh, I really didn't want to be here. I was not having fun. I looked at the couples kissing and grinding against each other on the dance floor. In a weird way, it made me which I had a boyfriend. All these people were having fun, smiling, and laughing with each other. My mind went back to Sebastian. I just met him today but I just liked him so much, I wouldn't go as far as saying I love him.

He was handsome and had a smooth voice. His bring green eyes and his soft brown hair. He was nice and funny. I couldn't wait to call him tomorrow so I could show him around. I had to play it cool though; act as though I could barely make it. I sat there for a few more minutes until I finally got tired of it. I walked through a door that said 'exit.' I walked out and realized I was behind the bar in an alley. I leaned against the wall and enjoyed the silence. Oh, how I longed to read a book right now. I then grabbed my headphones which I kept in my purse at all times. I plugged it into my phone and played a song

Remember the moment

You know exactly where you're goin'

'Cause the next moment before you know it

Time is slowin' and it's rolling still

And the windowsill looks really nice, right?

You think twice about your life

It probably happens at night, right?

Fight it, take the pain, ignite it

Tie a noose around your mind

Loose enough to breathe fine and tie it

To a tree tell it, you belong to me, this ain't a noose 

This is a leash and I have news for you

You must obey me'

I listened to the song and it made me feel peace. I closed my eyes and relaxed. Probably not a good idea when your in an alleyway, behind a bar, and by yourself. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I quickly opened my eyes. Benjamin was standing there with a smirk on his face. I took my headphones off and looked at him questioningly. "Aren't you suppose to be with Alex?" I asked. "Oh, did she forget to tell you? She went home a while ago, said she wasn't feeling good." He said. What, why would Alex do that, and why didn't she take me. I felt myself growing irritated. How was I suppose to get home, it's not like I had anyone else who could pick me up. Then I thought of Sebastian.

"Hey, I can drive you home," Benjamin said. I gave him a smile and said. "No, it's fine. I'll just get a friend to pick me up. Thanks though," I pulled my phone out and dialed the number, just when I was about to press the call button, I felt his hand go over mine. "No, i'll take you," He said with a look of irritation on his face.
