🌹CHAPTER FOUR🌹

True to her word, Lena didn't put that much make-up on me. Black eyes shadow on my eyes lids that highlight my pale blue eyes. Pink blush on my cheeks, make me look more alive than I've ever been. I have high cheekbones so she doesn't need to create that, but she did put some white glitter on them, to make them look prettier.

Black mascara on my already long eyelashes to make them longer and more black. Black eyeliner wing on both my eyes. On my lips is a lipstick in the same red color as my dress, I don't even know how she got the same color, but I don't care at the moment. I look so beautiful and I can't stop looking at myself.

Lena leaves the bathroom and then comes back few seconds later. She holds black high heels in her hands. "Put these on and we'll be ready to go" She tells me, or more like orders me. I do as she says and wear the high heels. They are pump high heels.

Maybe a bit too high, I normally never wear high heels because they make me feel uncomfortable and they hurt my feet. If I wear these tonight, I know for a fact that my feet will hate me tomorrow, perhaps starts a revolution. "You look so hit, girl. If I was gay, I would go for you, all day" She says and laughs.

We leave my apartment and my feet are already aching from walking in these heels, but I got to remind myself that it is only for tonight and then I never have to wear high heels again. I take my drivers license with me because I will most likely have to drive us back home, as Lena's planning on drinking while I'm not.

Alcohol has never been something that I've wanted to taste in my life, I was once dared to taste it in a sleepover in high school, but as soon as I smelled it, I knew I didn't want it in my body. Ever since then, I've never even had a sip of alcohol.

"This will be the best night of your life, but it will be better if you get laid" She says and I freeze in the passenger seat. If I had taken a sip from a glass of water, I would have spit it out by the shock. I shake my head."Getting laid. I don't think so" I tell her, assuring her that I will not sleep with anyone.

Call be old fashion, but I want to lose my virginity when I get married. It means a lot to me, I'm not like those girls that sleep around for fun, and I will never be like that. "You are so boring. You have no idea what you're missing. It feels amazing" She says and I make a disgusting face.

"If you act like that every time sex comes you, you will become the world oldest virgin" She says, I roll my eyes at her. "How long till we get there?" I ask, changing the subject before she can say anymore. "Few minutes, it's in the side of the city that someone of the likes of you don't go to" Lena tells me.

This will not be good. I'm not the bar type of person and now she's taking me to the side of the city that I would never go to. Something about this screams trouble. I should have written a letter to my parents, just in case that I don't live through the night.

Once she parks her car in a pretty shady neighborhood, outside of a bar, I think. I can hear loud music from inside it. "Why is there so loud music? I thought bars were supposed to be semi-quiet" I ask her. Are we even at a bar? I'm so confused right about now.

"Tonight is party night. Every Friday, there is a party night and the name speaks for itself, there's a party. Why do you think I asked you to come tonight?" She asks in a duh tone, as if I was supposed to know that. A party? I've never been to a party, this is the first time and I will not know anyone, except for Lena. This is a disaster, a big disaster.

We get out of the car and I'm as nervous as ever. I don't know why I'm so nervous about this, I love trying new things. Well, every new thing that I've tried doesn't involve drinking and bars and parties. This must be the only time that I will not like trying a new thing.

Before she locks the car, she opens the passenger seat behind the driver's seat, she takes out a bottle of some alcoholic drink that I have no idea what is. I raise my eyebrows at her. "Seriously? We're literally going to a bar. You know, where they serve alcohol" I ask her.

She opens the bottle and takes a few sips of it before she puts the tap back on and throws it into her car, can't those stuff leak since the tap has been taken off. But, hey, what do I know about alcohol. "Now, I'm ready" She says and smiles at me, she doesn't even answer my question.

We walk into the bar and I see a lot of people there, I'm not even sure of we'll be able to fit in there with all those people. "Are you sure about this?!" I ask her, a bit loudly since the music is much louder than I thought. After tonight, I'm going to be deaf from the loud music.

"Yeah, totally. It's fun" She tells me, and then before I know it, she walks into one of the crowds and gets lost in them. My heart starts pounding in my chest, I'm all alone standing in the entrance of the bar, unsure of what I can do and what I should do.

I could turn around and wait in the car the whole night, but I promised Lena that I would go with her to the bar and I don't want to break that promise. Besides I don't want to leave her alone in there, she could get hurt. "I'll guess I'm going in" I whisper to myself.

The loud music drowned my voice, so I couldn't even hear myself talking. I walk inside and I see few empty seats by the bar. I've seen how bars look like in movies and this bar is rather similar to those I've seen. I sit there awkwardly. All around me people are drinking and dancing to the loud music.

I'll just wait here until this night is over and when I'm home, I'm never leaving my bed. If I had known that a bar was like this, I would have denied it a long time ago. I thought bars were different from the ones I saw in the movies, since the movies don't always show the truth.

The bartender comes over to me. He looks to be around his fifties and from the looks of it, he seems to be good at his job. He mixes drinks rather fast and the people love the drinks. Perhaps because there is alcohol in it, and people like everything with alcohol in it.

"Want something? You look like a cocktail kind of girl" He asks me, his accent is Australian. I shake my head. "No, thank you" I tell him. I'm hoping that this isn't the type of bar that kicks you out because you're not buying anything. "How about a glass of water, no can pass that up" He says, trying to convince me to get something.

This is his job and he's really selling it. "Fine" I tell him, loud enough over the music. It's a good thing that this bar is big enough that the music is in the back, where most of the people are. I don't even want to look over there because I already know that there will be something nasty that I'd rather not see.

"Another shot of tequila" A woman speaks beside me to him. He nods his head and takes a bottle and pours a little into a tiny glass and slides it on the table to the woman, she takes it and leaves. The bartender leaves me and goes somewhere. I sit there and play with my nails.

Few minutes pass before he returns with a glass of water for me and sets it in front of me. "Enjoy your water" He says before serving someone else. I stare down at the glass, I'm not really thirsty but it is quite hot in this place, since there are so many people here and no windows are open, the only thing that's open is the front door and I believe that's the only door in this place.

I dare myself to look over the crowd and I don't see Lena anywhere, then again the crowd is pretty tight and it's easy to get lost in there. I don't even dare to stand up and join in. The music that is playing is way too loud and I don't like it, it isn't really my style.

I love listening to the lyrics of songs and the story behind them, and that's what I like, not this stuff. But, people seem to like it and dance to it, and drinking to it. Everyone seems to have a lot of fun, every expect for me. This just isn't my night. I'd rather be on my bed reading or sleeping.

The whole night, I spent sitting in the same seat by the bar and just drank water. The bartender tried to have a conversation with me, but it's almost impossible to speak in a place where the music is too loud, plus there were so many people ordering something. I also found out that the water is free, so I don't have to pay for anything.

Being in this bar makes me feel like I don't belong in this place, and I don't. I don't dance, I can't dance and I don't drink. I feel like such an outsider here and it's so awkward to just sit here and wait and do nothing. I played a game on my phone to help me pass time, but I was using my phone today and I forgot to charge it when I came home from work, it the battery died.

"Rosie... dance withhh meeeee" Lena suddenly appears beside me, she's so drunk. She has a hard time standing up. "No, it's time for us to go home before you end up in a hospital" I tell her, I don't believe she heard me, though. She's lost in her own world.

I take her wrist and her shoulder and guide her through the doors and as we leave the bar, I feel so much relief wash over me. It feels nicer to finally be out of that place and hopefully I never have to go back because that was the worst experience of my life.

"Come on, I'm taking you home" I tell her, as I help her into the car. It's a bit difficult as she's not having it. She doesn't speak much, hiccups now and then but never says a word. She's pretty drunk. I somehow manage to get her into the passenger seat of the car, and I get into the drivers seat and drive off.

Before my battery had died, I looked at maps of ways to get home, because I knew I would be driving home. I drive first at her apartment and help her inside and once she's on the couch, she's fast asleep. I sigh and leave her apartment and walk home.

It hurts a lot to walk in those heels, but I make it to my apartment. Once I'm inside I wipe off all the make-up on my face and then strip out of the dress and put on my pajamas. Brush my teeth. Before I go to bed, I plug in my phone to charge it up. Then I go under the covers and sleep trying to forget that this night ever happened.
