I stirred In my sleep the room was still dark, I sat up confused before I remembered where I was as I got up the wooden floorboards creaked.

I turned the doorknob as slowly and quietly as I could before I headed to the steps to go downstairs, once I made it down I realized all my stuff was sitting neatly in a pile by the door.

I slipped my shoes on before grabbing my MacBook and Phone Just as I was about to push the door open I heard rustling behind me.

I could hear my heart pounding in my chest and once I turned around I realized it was just Ivalo.

I let out a breath I hadn't even realized I was holding before turning and exiting the house the cold air of the morning blew onto me.

I looked down at my phone which read '5:42' I found Scarlett's contact before calling her i'm praying she's still awake I mean she has been trying to call me since 6:45 last night.

by the time the 2nd ring went through she immediately answered.

"Where the heck are you? i've been calling you since last night" She yelled through the phone making me pull it away from my ear.

" I'll explain later i'm going to send you my location please come get me" I said as I rubbed my head before hanging up the phone leaving her no more room to lecture me.

About 15 minutes later I saw Scarlett's Car pulling around the corner I got up from the sidewalk I was sitting on and I entered the passenger seat.

"who do you know that lives in these nice neighborhoods" Scarlett questioned as she looked at the houses, I rolled my eyes at her as I buckled my seat belt telling her to drive off.

I explained to her everything has happened over the last 12 hours and by the time I was finished she was already bombarding me with questions.

" so your telling me you left that Hot milf in the house without even saying goodbye" she asked quickly looking at me like I was crazy then back to the road.

" out of everything I just said that's all you got" I said looking at her like she was stupid. " well duh" I sighed disappointedly at my best friend.

As the day continued excitement began to rise in my chest, Scarlett wanted us to go to a club with a few friends from her class.

I stood in my closet contemplating on my outfit for the night, I decided on a sleek black dress that hugged my curves perfectly.

I paired it with a pair of black heels and my gold rings that I usually have on

Now that I have finally decided on my outfit i sat at my vanity applying some mascara and a little bit of blush, not to much makeup because I rarely ever wear any.

I ended up also putting on this nice pink blush shade Lipstick on that complimented my features great.

Scarlett walked into my room not too long after I finished and she looked as great as always, in a similar dress as mine but just in white.

I grabbed my black crossbody purse and my phone and a few other things and I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before making my way out with Scarlett.

*****

We walked into the club, thanks to Scarlett's connections they didn't ID us.

We found Dylan and dawson , Scarlett's classmates sitting in the corner at a booth.

"I'll be back i'm going to grab us some drinks" Scarlett told me before heading off towards the counter.

" How long have you guys been waiting here" i questioned over the loud music that was playing.

" not to long only about 30 minutes probably" Dawson replied making me nod at her reply.

Me and Dawson were making small talk when Scarlett walked back with two drinks in her hands.

" a sex on the beach" she smiled as she sat it down in front of me before sliding in next to me.

We all started chatting about college and our classes before a waitress walked up with a bunch of shots.

" here's those vodka shots you ordered earlier" she smiled at Dawson and Dylan before setting them all on the table.

I got through about 4 of them before I started getting tipsy.

Dawson and Scarlett took off to the dance floor going to find partners leaving me and Dylan.

" Do you want to dance" Dylan asked as she stood up holding her hand out. " of course" I slurred taking her hand as she pulled me up from my seat.

As we were making our way towards the dance floor I could feel eyes on me but I couldn't figure out who's they were.

Right now they were playing more of a slower song so once we made it to a little open space Dylan wrapped her arms around my waist and my arms went around her neck.

I've talked to Dylan plenty of times and Scarlett had her and Dawson over lots, which makes since , because their twins they are literally always with each other.

But I never thought Dylan likes girls, well maybe she doesn't? I mean why else does she want to dance with me though.

she smiled at me lightly as our eyes connected my hand pushed back a curl that fell from behind her ear.

" your so beautiful" Dylan whispered lightly making my cheeks burn I knew I was blushing. " so are you" I whisper back.

we both started leaning in slowly, but just as our lips were about to connect someone cleared their throat.

I turned to look at who it was and my eyes instantly connected with dark brown eyes which were glaring at me.

I opened my mouth to say something but I ended up just closing it back because I didn't know what to say.

" come I need to talk to you" she said before turning around and walking away. " i'll be back" I said to Dylan before following the direction she went in.

I walked into the bathroom and before I could even take a breath I was pressed up against the wall.

" your going to go home" Avery said as she gripped my throat, it wasn't tight enough to hurt me but it was tight enough to get her point across.

" no i'm not I just got here not to long ago" I argued before crossing my arms.

" no you've been here for 2 hours now" Avery said before she took a step back away from me her gaze trailing up and down my body.

" what? have you been watching me this whole time or something" I slurred slightly at the beginning of my sentence.

" your going home end of discussion let's go" she said before grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the exit.

" Hey I have to say bye to Dylan" I exclaimed making her scoff.

she continued walking towards her car, her tight grip on my hand not loosing, not even a bit.

she opened the passenger door before holding her hand up indicating that I could get in.

" whaat a gentlewoman" I slurred again making her roll her eyes before shutting the door and going to the drivers side.

" buckle" she said as she pulled her own seat belt across her chest.

after I buckled my seatbelt which took a few seconds she finally drove off towards my apartment.

***

No words were exchanged the whole car ride and it took about 15 minutes to get to my apartment but we finally made it.

"come on" she said grabbed my hand again as she helped me out of the car.

We walked into the building before she clicked the button to the elevator her hand holding on to my upper arm to keep me steady.

" what floor" she asked. " uh— 6 i think" I mumbled as I scratched my head a little bit.

once the elevator doors opened we walked down the hallway before we ended up in front of my door I pulled my key out of my bag before unlocking it.

" Okay you can go lay down now" she said as I rolled my eyes walking towards my bedroom, I could hear her heels clicking on the hardwood floors behind me.

"c-can you help me unzip my dress so I can change" I asked her as I threw my bag, phone and keys on my bed.

"I - yea I guess" she said before she walked towards me my back facing her. she pushed my hair over my shoulder before slowly unzipping the dress.

I kept hold of it in the front before I turned around to face her.

" okay you should have it from here i'm going to go now" she said softly making me nod.

" okay , thank you—- for everything" I said making her smile before nodding and leaving.

After she left I changed into my pajamas and got into bed, but before I actually fell asleep I texted Scarlett to let her know I was at my apartment already.
