I massaged my temple as I stepped off the car sarah tried to hug my shoulder but i gently pried off her arm
"I'm sorry I tricked you ok? I was afraid you might refuse to come if I asked you"
She was right. I would have politely declined but still,I felt so betrayed right now
Sarah turned me by the shoulder her eyes sincere "hey sorry I promise this wont happen again,if you don't feel okay about it we can leave" she assured me
I looked at her
she raised two fingers up "just two minutes,if you're not feeling it we'll leave" that sly smile was up on her lips again
"You said only two minutes" honestly I was slightly irritated. I knew sarah wanted me to have fun infact I suspected that was the reason she went through the whole hassle to make me come live with her
and I find it quite flattering. a fun person like her having so much interest in me and wanting to be friends slightly confused me but still flattered me
I felt silly, I felt special
I could already feel the dull ache in my head pounding as I agreed
Sarah smacked a kiss to my cheeks before dragging me inside
The mansion was quite large and sarah had told me her boyfriends friend lucas was the host.
Inside was a crowd of college kids sweaty bodies dancing. some sat on the expensive sofa playing games some sat around with a bottle spinning between them I saw that on the stairs a huge guy stood allowing only certain people upstairs
Sarah's hands and my entwined hand suddenly separated making me panic for a second till I turned to realise she had been tightly hugged by a blond boy swaying side to side
He's drunk
Beside him was a boy wearing a blue sweater, he looks skinny and his hazel eyes had widened for a bit then crinkled at the corner as he smiled at me
I nodded politely at him
Over loud music sarah growled "Fuck! mike you're drunk" she hissed pulling off his hands
Mike?
I eyed him curiously, sarah had told me earlier her boyfriends name was mike
He had green mossy eyes and blond curls he seem to be the same height as sarah, a bottle of alcohol held in his hand
"C'mon babe,don't you miss me I said I was sorry...wait is this the new roomate?"
Sarah sourly introduced me to the blue sweater boy ignoring her drunk boyfriend
"Jasper,this is beth my new roomate,beth this is jasper,Lucas younger brother "
japser smiled at me again and this time I returned his smile and I also noticed the rim of his eyes were red, very red.
Mike eyes me from head to toe then grinned, he whispered something into Sarah's ear and instantly I saw her eyes burn as if a fire was lit inside.
My roomate downed her drink in a go,banging the cup on the counter attracting stares from people
"Beth,give me a minute or two? Trash should always be properly discarded"she smiled sweetly then proceed to drag the drunk mike away
Subconciously my lips had moved,but no words came out. I wanted to ask if I could follow her because I felt uncomfortable especially with a man I'm not familiar with beside me
I glanced around the kitchen, it wasnt as crowded as the living room with just few people loitering around smelling strongly of alcohol and sweat, a girl rushed In to the kitchen vomiting into the sink
I swallowed down my nausea
" never been to a party before?" Suprised to hear his voice I looked up at him,he still had that same smile on his face as if it was plastered there
I shook my head
jasper chuckled
Across to the other crowded room which could be seen from the kitchen A girl suddenly squealed holding on the sleeve of a tall guy wearing a face cap
Suddenly I heard jasper voice, closer to my ear making me flinch, there was a slyness to it
"His new bitch?"
Pardon?
My head whipped up confused
He snickered and the smile in his face turned into something mocking
"Pftt look at you acting all pure like a fretting rabbit, you've never been to a party before?" He chuckled "weren't you the one sucking on his dick at Jason's party last week"
I froze then unfroze as chills rushed to my brain my body unconsciously moved away
He laughed grabbing for my arm "you dont remember me? You're really awful at acting you know" the smile seem more like a grimace and his hand trailed to my neck
The thudding of my heart was so loud it rang in my ear, I stuttered springing away from him.
"You-youve got the wrong..Im" I stumbled away from him frightened by the smile on his face i dashed away from him
Squeezing my way through sweaty bodies, I heaved
Sarah! sarah! where are you. In my panic I had stumbled over the bucket of alcohol placed on the floor, then worst, i slammed into another person
"Ugh" my forearms were grasped stopping me from smacking my face against a chest
"sorry" I sputtered glancing up at the person. underneath a black face cap, cold black eyes stared back at me
I could feel my thudding heart finally dropping to the bottom of my stomach. Subconsciously I tried to struggle out of his tight hold
"what the hell are doing here" Benjamin's voice still held that terrifying calmness and chilliness
My mouth moved but no word came out
I saw his jaw clench
I exhaled a shaky breath. Admist the chaos, the loud thumping music, the girl whining asking him who I was, jasper, ...my headhurts
I bursted into tears.
I dont want to be here
