This is a shoutout to my ex,
       Heard he in love with some other chick
           Yeah yeah, that hurt me I'll admit,
                 Forget that boy I'm over it.
               -Shoutout to my Ex~ Little Mix

"Um, hello?" I said anxiously in the darkness.

The lights went out.

Was it because I told the gum ball machine it sucked?

Maybe it had supernatural powers; like it was possessed or something?

"Excuse me? Can you turn on the lights?" I yelled and no one answered. I sighed jaggedly and unlocked my phone.

It was 8:00 pm.

Closing time.

"Shit." I cursed and let out a frustrated cry.

I wandered down an aisle trying to find some fuse or switch to turn the lights back on.
I used my phone flashlight while I walked through the aisle.
I looked down at the black and white tiles beneath my feet and it reminded me, very much, of Alice in Wonderland.

I walked faster until, a pair of hands grabbed my shoulders and whipped my body around, placing me in a headlock.

I screamed and jabbed the person in the gut with my elbows. They groaned and I flashed the light in the persons face.

"Oh fuck," He says when he sees my face and clutches his stomach.

"Oh great it's you," I groan, flashing my phone flashlight in his face.

"Don't sound too excited, Kims." He used my old nickname.

"Don't call me that, you lost the right a long time ago," I snapped.

"Well, we're going to be spending a lot of time together, so get used to it," Austin said with a shrug and I look at him worriedly.

"What do you mean? The lights just went out, that's all."

"Kims, I just checked the doors, we're locked in."

"No! I always knew I was going to hell, but fuck, I'm not dragging you with me!"

I panicked and ran my hands over my face, while I paced back and forth in the aisle.

Austin Peters was my ex boyfriend.

We dated for almost a year and he cheated on me. He says he didn't, but that's not what it looked like.

Flashback

"Hey, I'm going to go find Dylan, you gonna be alright?" He asked with his arm around my waist.

"Yeah, sure, have fun. I'm going to find, Lyn." I smiled at him and he kissed the corner of my mouth, with a smirk.

"I love you." Austin winked and went on his way.

As the party escalated, I found Lyn.
My best friend since kindergarten, we were like two peas in a pod, inseparable.
Her dark brown hair was curled to perfection, accompanied with a black fedora, and she wore a white blouse with denim shorts.

"Kimmy!" She shrieked with excitement and embraced me.

"Hey, Lynn," I sang playfully and she rolls her eyes.

"Still can't sing?" She smirks when she releases me.

"Still can't come up with a good comeback?" I laugh when she groans.

"Come on, bestie, where's that cutie boyfriend of yours?" Lynn teases and wraps an arm around my shoulder.

"He's with Dylan."

Dylan is Austin's best friend they've been on the same soccer team since elementary school.
They were like brothers.

"You should go get him, and Dylan too! We're about to play a round of beer pong!" Lynn grins and nudges my side.

"Teams?" I smirk at her.

"Dylan and I are going to win this time." Lynn narrowed her eyes at me playfully.

"Yet, Austin and I are probably going to kick your asses all over again." I laugh as I leave to find Austin and Dylan.

I see Dylan by the bar drinking a shot and I slide next to him.

"Heey, pretty girl-my best friend-would've never gotten- without my help." Dylan says all at once and I give him a 'are you serious' look.

"You're drunk." I state.

"Yet you settled for so low, when you could've had this." He gestures to his body and I scoff.

"Dylan, you are the most annoying drunk in the world. Austin, probably would've punched you in the face, right now." I tell him and he shrugs taking another shot.

"Where's Austin?" I ask him.

"I don't actually know..but I saw him go down the hall.. I think he's in the bathroom." Dylan said deliriously.

"Uh-huh, thanks for the help." I nod skeptically and start down the hall.

There was no way Dylan was going to play beer pong with us, he had enough alcohol in his system.

I walked down the hall and opened the bathroom door. It was unoccupied.

I heard a voice mumbling and a female voice talking quite loudly. As I got closer I heard what she was saying.

"Come on, Austin." It sounded like Lyla.

Lyla was our typical popular girl in our school she had everything under her control. Everything in the palm of her hands.

Every guy in the palm of her hands.

I anxiously licked my lips and walked to the bedroom door at the end of the hall.

I open the bedroom door to see Austin laying on a bed with his shirt off and his hands on Lyla's waist, while she was straddling him.

I stood there in shock and Austin looked at me with wide eyes.

"Kimberly, it's not what you think!" He says trying to get up but Lyla stayed glued to him.

"I just came here to get you. Lynn wanted to invite you to play a game with us but clearly, you were having a little fun of your own." I turn away from them and stalked back to the party.

Then, I did something incredibly stupid.

I got drunk and slept with my boyfriend's best friend.
