~chapter 8~
The club was loud and reeked of alcohol-
"I can't believe you've dragged me here!" I say over the loud song and Loren pulls me into the crowd.
"We're here for Brittany!" She says and I watch as Brittany looks like she is in her element so I have to suck all my bad energy away.
"Fine but I'm not going to be hungover for school" I say sounding like a prude which makes Loren roll her eyes as she passes me a shot
I don't want to be here
"Dance with me?" Asks Loren pulling me into the crowd and I find myself dancing stupidly next to a crowd of sweaty people
"Can we go now?" I shout to Loren but she doesn't hear me as she is singing the words to a loud song that blasts your brain out.
"I'm going on toilet!" I shout getting nearer her so she can hear and she nods letting go of my hand as she weaves her way into the crowd
"Fuck this" I mutter cradling my headache and I don't know why I'm feeling like such a grumpy butch but maybe it's the fact that Mr Romano is stuck in my head every hour of the day.
"Where you going?" Asks Aaliyah and I pull my dress up to hide my cleavage telling her the lie that I'm going to the toilet
"See you later then!" She says and I leave the club making sure no one I know sees me and once the cool air hits me I let out a sigh
A tall person bumps into me and sends me falling to the floor and I land on my ankle which makes an unsatisfying crunch sound
Damn you heels
"Shit sorry" says the guy and I look up to see Mr Romano offering me his hand and I gasp as my heart rate rises by twenty percent
"Mr Romano?" I say and I take his hand as he pulls me up but I groan and fall to the floor as my ankle feels like it's about to snap
"Cara I'm so sorry, do you want me to ring an ambulance?" He says looking at me with concern and I shake my head
"No, no just help me up please Sir" I say and he nods pulling me up and he puts my arm around his shoulder as he takes me to his car
"Shall I take you to hospital?" He asks me looking at me as I sit in his car shaking my head and I lean my head back feeling my ankle throb
"No I'll have a painkiller, I'll be fine" I say and he nods at me looking unsure but nods passing me a bottle of water
"Thanks" I say and I take a sip feeling nauseous and the need to take off this skintight dress cutting into me
"Do you want me to drive you home?" He asks me looking over and I nod as I look at his suit that he was wresting today clenching my legs together
"Yea please, if that's not too much trouble" I smile sweetly and he nods pulling away from the club and I wince at the pain in my ankle
"You sure you're okay Miss Delores?" He asks me again and I wince because of my surname not my ankle this time, "please call me Cara" I say
