We stood there staring at each other for like eternity.
"Why are you standing there like that?" Both Megan and Damien said.
"Babe, you didn't tell me you will be coming here." Damien said to Megan.
"Neither did you." They kiss and hug.
Oh before I forget, Megan and Damien are in a relationship.
"Shall we dance?" Megan invited him, pulling him with her. As soon as they left, the tension between Mason and I grew more. It was so awkward. I didn't know what to say to him. it's been too long. "I think I need to leave." so I by passed him and left through the nearest exit.
"Scar wait!" I heard him say.
I stopped and faced him.
"What do you want Mason?"
"Are you still mad at me?"
I chuckled. "Mad? Oh no I'm not. Who said I am."
"Why are you acting this way?"
"Hm, let's see...When your boyfriend chooses to ditch you for his friends and forgets he even left you at all and plus comes back only to argue with you, oh then I think I should act like I'm having a blast don't you think?"
He sighed. "Look, I'm sorry."
"Took you long enough Mason. I don't really need it.
"Oh c'mon Scar."
"Don't pull that kind of shit with me Mason. It's been two weeks."
A guy passed by with a plastic cup in his hand. I snatched it from him and gulped down the content. It was so strong. I needed that.
Mason was staring at me like I had gone crazy. I need to be alone if you don't mind...I came here to have a good time but you are ruining it with your presence. So if you'll excuse me. I left Mason standing there staring at me like he couldn't believe what was happening.
I didn't go and look for Megan. I just went straight to the bar and ordered a drink. "Four shots of whiskey." I said to the bartender.
He placed them on the table.
"Rough night huh."
"You can't imagine."
I gulped down the shots. I kept drinking till I felt very light and then I stepped on the dance floor. I danced like I was born to dance.
"Scar, enough!" He said grabbing hold of my waist.
I pushed him aside. "Let go of me!" I shouted.
"I'm taking you home."
"I'm not going anywhere with you." I was struggling with him and I forcefully got away from his hold and I fell to the ground. I saw nothing again as the music died down.
******************
My head was aching as I opened my eyes. I looked around and I recognized my room.
"Scar..."
I turned to see Jake staring at me. He looked so worried. I tried sitting but he helped me. "What happened? How did I get home?...Gosh, my head is killing me."
"Here, take this." He said giving me some pills and a glass of water.
I took them and swallowed two of the pills and drank the water. Jake took it from me and placed it down.
"Can you tell me what happened?" I asked him.
"Go and take a shower first, you stink." He mused.
"Whatever." I jerked out of bed and headed to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and then I took my shower. When I was done, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. "What happened to me?" Then pieces of yesterday's event came to mind. I rushed out of the bathroom. Jake was no longer in my room. I got dressed and then I tied my hair into a ponytail. "Let me call Kurtis."
"Hey." I said cheerfully.
"Hello there."
"Er.. I can't come today so can you please tell your father for me."
"Why what's wrong?" He asked concerned.
"Got a little drunk yesterday so I can't come in .I have a bad headache."
"I see.. you take some rest. I'll tell him don't worry ok."
"Sure, thanks anyway."
"Alright. Have a nice day."
"You too."
I hanged up and headed down stairs.
"Jake?" I called out.
"Over here, at the dinning table."
Jake had cooked breakfast. I sat down and sipped the coffee in front of me.
"Hm...It taste so good. I needed that."
"Will you be going to the driving school?" He asked.
"Nope and I've already called to inform them."
"Alright. So what happened at the club yesterday?"
I stared at the mug in front of me for some time.
"All I remember is that, when Megan and I were dancing, I bumped into Mason. I didn't want to talk to him so I got out of there but he followed me and we ended up talking, which didn't last long because I was not ready to talk to him.
I went back inside and got drunk. I started to dance and have fun but that too was cut short by Mason. He wanted to take me home but I didn't want to go with him and I was trying to get away from him when I fell and I don't know what happened after that."
"You hit your head but it wasn't anything serious. Mason was the one who brought you home though. He was pretty worried about you though I kind of lashed out on him a bit."
"He deserved it."
"Scar, I think he's really sorry and he cares about you."
"Whatever. Can we please not talk about it." I finished up my breakfast.
"I'll be in my room." I said to him and left.
