Save Me

Eighteen

I just couldn't wait for the party to begin. After deciding that I wanted to go to the party, I went home immediately and mum was surprised to see me come home so early .

"You're home so early, did you get fired? "

I just liked mum so much. She always tried to be positive in every situation, creating humor even when there was sadness. That's what she always tried to do when dad left us.

" Oh no mum, I came early so I could prepare for a party. "

She almost chokes on her glass of water. Very shocked indeed.

" You, going to a party? Amazing! "

The truth be told, she was very shocked because I had never attended a party before. This was a first.

" Attention everyone! My daughter France is attending a party for the first time! Isn't that amazing? "

I laughed but put on a serious face again. Though I didn't feel offended, I wanted her not to tease me.

"Come on mum, stop teasing me. I'm serious."

"Are you even serious right now? "

" Yes I am."

I quickly went to my room to get changed. Not long before I even finished, my mum called me.

"You have a visitor! "She yelled from the living room.

Oh my God! How did Dexter know where I lived?
What is he doing here?

I panicked. Yes I did and I couldn't help it.

" Just one minute please. "

I put on my sneakers and went to the living and found Daisy busy scrolling her phone. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw her.

" Hey. "

She immediately looked up from her phone and studied my face carefully. Her look scrutinised the way I looked probably. That's what I figured out for myself.

" You have to put on make up,"She says.

Since I didn't even put on make up, I didn't bother to buy a make up kit.

"Is it really necessary? I think I'm just fine this way, "I say really hoping she will let it go.

" Okay, since we're late I won't put make up on your face but next time, I'll surely do. "

I said bye to mum and as we were out of door, I realised that there was a car outside. I didn't even know she had a car.

" We are really late,let's go, "She says unlocking the car as we got in.

She steps on the gas and I have to clutch the seat to avoid being hit on the head.

She turns on the radio and perfect is playing. Oh how I love this song!
I sing along to it and every word is just so amazing.

"Here we are. Welcome home,"she says dramatically.

I chuckle and get out of the car. What I saw is not what I expected at all.

Why is there so many people?

The owner of the house is not yet in and still they got inside.

Oh, right! Invitation cards!

So there had to be someone who was checking since Daisy wasn't there. She must have seen how surprised I am for she asked, "How do you like it so far?"

Truly, I didn't like it one bit. The place is so noisy and crowded.

"I guess it's fine, I'll get used to it. "

" Yay! That's my girl! "

We push through  people and finally we manage to get inside. What I see is just unbelievable. Boys and girls are drinking what I guess to be alcohol, and besides that some are kissing and dancing carelessly.

I immediately wish to go home. I cannot bear this torture.

What am I supposed to do here?
Just sit and watch?

"France, I have to go ensure everything's in order. Enjoy the party!" Daisy says running off to a different direction which I didn't know where it led.

How dare she leave me?
She's supposed to stick with me until the party is over!

"Please take me with you? I'm afraid."

Of course I didn't voice that thought out loud. I kept it to myself. If I told her, she would see me as a weird person.

Now I really need you France, please come to the party.

Why am I even afraid? Didn't I say that I will stand up for myself if need be?

With that thought at the back of my mind, I relaxed a bit. I had decided long before I had come here that I will not be afraid anymore and that I would fight anyone who comes my way. I mean Dexter and his people, if at all they will be at the party.

So I hold my head up high and look around the place especially in the direction where Daisy headed to. Not that I expected her to come back any time soon, of course.

I tried to see where she went but I couldn't see through so many people.
I just stayed right where i was until I heard a voice which I was not so happy to hear but I could get through it.

"Is that you France? "He asked yanking me around.
