([17])

I stumbled over the step leading into the kitchen.
"I beee right back, gah go use the bathroooom." I slurred.
Tina nodded, wobbling slightly.
Mati and Nikki shook their heads disapprovingly.
Well if your so straight edge, why do you have wine coolers at a party, Nikki?
I tetered back and forth as I walked to the bathroom.
When I was done fixing myself up and throwing up, I swaggered out the door into an unknown room.
"Hey Ella," a cool voice said.
"Hello voice." I replied, thinking I was hearing things in my head.
"Come sit down, relax, have a sniff."
"Nooo, my boyfriend says that's bad for me, he'll tell my Mommy." I said like a little girl afriad of getting in trouble.
"Oh honey, do you feel dizzy?"
I nodded shakily.
"Come sit."
I obeyed the voice and sat down on the poofy pink bedspread.
A shiny piece of something was shoved under my nose.
I realized through my intoxicated state that it was a mirror.
On it was the substance I promise myself, Aiden, and my girls that I wouldn't put in my body anymore.
"Ella?!"
"Aidey?" I mumbled.
He was standing in the doorway with a person I reconized as one of Tiffany's followers.
Our eyes connected for a minute that felt like hours.
I saw in his eyes that I had completely broken him.
A simple 'sorry' wouldn't fix it this time.
"How could you, Ella?" he choked and stormed off.
I thought I saw a tear escape his eye, but maybe it was a trick of the light.
"No, Aiden, come baaack!" I quickly jumped up, causing myself to become even dizzier than I already was.
How did I end up on the floor?
Oh, right, I tried to run after him and fell.
High pitched giggled rang throughout the room.
Laugh it up, you whores.
You just caused me to loose the love of my life and my best friend.

My legs moved like rubber, dragging me along as I tried to sprint towards Aiden.
Boy, did I screw up this time... and it wasn't even like I wanted to do it!
At least none of the powdery substance made it's way into my system.
As I attempted to turn around the corner, I saw a glimpse of his bracelet covered arm before I fell flat on my face for the second time.
I'm never drinking again.
Aiden was already driving off when I opened the front door.
I walked, defeated, back inside to tell the girls what happened.
I prayed that they'd believe me.
Hopefully my words would come out correctly and not be so slurred.
"Mati, Nikki, Tina! Help me sober up!" is what I meant to say.
I'm not sure it came out that way, judging by the looks on their faces.
Luckily, Cee Cee knew what I meant.
She took me to the sink and splashed ice cold water on my face until I could speak right.
"Tiffany." I said.
Nikki looked at me with wide eyes.
"What did she do?!"
I teared up.
"She made it look like I was..."
The girls nodded and Nikki got extremely red.
"THAT BITCH!" she roared.
Before any of us could stop her, she dispatched in a fit of rage up the stairs.
I heard a blood curdling scream, then someone pounding down the stairs.
A shriek followed Nikki into the kitchen.
"What the hell, Nikkolette?!"
Her nose was spurting a brilliant scarlet waterfall and her perfectly done up right eye was slowly turning a sickly green color.
"Nikkolette?" Mati asked.
"I came from France, my full name is Nikkolette Marie Ryans...Nikki for short."
"Ohh, that would explain the slight accent..."
"Mhmm...anyways, Tiffany Paisly! How could you do that to Ella?!"
Mati and Tina giggled at Tiffany's middle name. Paisly.
A mixture of fury and wrath was making me shake, anticipating her answer.
"Simple. I want him."
I completely snapped.
I lunged at her and pinned her down on the floor.
"I love him, you bitch. And guess what? He loves me back, so don't waste your breath."
"Are you sure he'll love you after this?" she spat.
"Yes." I lied.
And with that, I punched her unconcience, muttered a 'sorry' to Nikki, and left the party with Tina at my heels.

Ohhh dramatic much? :O
