Adriana's POV
I sat on the couch in the sitting room, looking at the intricately decorated ceiling, it was times like this that makes me hate this huge house.
why do we need huge houses when we won't live in them anymore when we die? now all I can see is a huge empty house that used to be home but the source of joy is no more, big houses are a waste, they only cause pain when you are gone.
The sitting room was huge, it had three armchairs, an Ottoman, two long couches, a fireplace, and my mom's white piano.
I looked at the files that Mr. Woods gave me and I sighed, picking up the TV remote, I turned on the TV, Tv wasn't even worth watching anymore, papa always watched soap operas with me and I gave snarky comments whenever he watched the news but now, your favorite activities stop being fun when the person you love is no longer there to share those moments, it becomes a burdensome memory.
When dad was still here, I won't be at home by this time, I would have been preparing to go to a club, and I might not even be home for a week, I smiled but I won't ever smoke again, I've learned my lesson the hardest way, they say you never know what you have till you lose it, have you ever raised someone so high, like a god who you feel, was impossible for bad things to happen to but then boom, it happens and closure is not an option?.
I sent Emily home, she wanted to stay with me but I refused, she had tried for me, Maria and Anna had gone to their quarters, so it was just me in this huge house, I can't even find my phone since that night, I shuddered and looked at the clock, it read 9 pm.
Looking past mom's piano, I saw the heap of flowers and cards bearing messages, I stood and walked towards the flowers, it was much, I stood beside the piano and looked at the pool, through the glass doors, my reflection hit me but I don't know why but my mind kept going back to that night.
Flashback: two weeks back.
Sitting at the bar, I scanned the club, this is a club I have always wanted to attend and now I'm here but alone, Emily's parents won't let her leave the house and I don't want to be around any fake friend tonight.
I fought with dad, he wants me to respect Celeste more, who does that cagna think she is, I hate her, I have always hated her, she is tearing my home and dad is taking her side, f**k her because of her dad almost hit me, what did I do wrong, I only called her an old bitch and dad heard and on top of almost hitting me, he grounded me like that is going to stop me from leaving the house.
When he went to his study, I got dressed, I wore black shorts, a white crop top and black boots picking up my keys, purse, and phone, I got downstairs and I saw an envelope on the sitting room table, I don't know why but I opened it and saw a pass to the Marquee, the most lit club ever, I have only been there once and I have been dying to go there ever since, I took it and left, so here I am.
"Hey pretty" I heard someone say and I turned, I saw a handsome specimen of a guy, he had dirty blond hair, "hello" I replied with a smile and took a sip of my sex on the beach
"What's a beauty like you, doing all by yourself," he asked
"well I'm no longer alone" he smiled " Jeremy "
"Adriana"
"Nice name"
"Thanks"
"Two shots of bourbon," Jeremy said to the bartender, who placed the drinks before him
"One of you," he said and placed one before me "I already have a drink," I said with a smile
"You don't come to the Marquee and drink not want to take a bourbon," he said with a smile
I looked at him, shrugging my shoulders I downed my drink income go and did the same with the bourbon, "done" and I smirked
"Ohhhhh, you are natural" I laughed
"And she finally laughs"
"Why do you say so"
"Ummmm, you came to the Marquee of all places and you sat alone mopping, I figured it's either you have a boyfriend or parents issue" he spoke with a shrug, I laughed "you are right"
"Jeremy is always right," he said with a wink
"So will you allow Jeremy to give you the best night ever?" he asked with a raised brow
Before I could answer him, my phone rang, picking it up, I saw it was dad, I'm pretty sure he finally noticed I left the house, I really can't deal with this drama tonight, switching off my phone, I looked at Jeremy
"If you can get me so high, you will be my best friend" he smirked
"I'm best at doing that"
I had the best night ever, I drank till I lost count, danced till my feet hurt, and later I found myself in a room, ready to try something I have never tried before.
I looked as he demonstrated how to do it,
"It's not that hard, you will be on cloud nine once you try it" I looked at him and the coke on the try, I knelt and placed my nose on the try, I sniffed the potion he had separated for me.
It felt good, I want more, I separated more and I felt someone hold my hand "that's enough Adriana, the highness stops here"
"But I want more," I said with a pout, he looked at me "no you don't" frowning I looked at him
"Kiss me then" he looked at me and brought his face close "I wish I could but sadly I can't" he suddenly carried me on his shoulders "come let's get you somewhere to sleep" I don't know where we were going but I found myself in a car, I looked at him, my eyes were getting heavier "sleep Adriana" and with that everywhere went dark.
Back to the present.
I touched my face and saw it was wet, that was my darkest memory because I only remember his name but not his face, it seems it was all an illusion.
Funny, I woke up the next morning and found myself in my car but my phone was not with me, when I got home, I found out that my dad had passed away, I am a despicable child, I hate myself.
Ding dong
I heard the doorbell, I looked at the wall clock and saw it was past ten, I felt my heart racing, standing up, I wiped my face and walked to the door, I looked at the door camera, seeing who it was, my racing heart calmed down.
I opened the door and hugged the person, finally someone I've wanted to see all day.
