I'm in a cloud of smoke floating above and going beyond. I'm not alone here, there is a sea of people making the experience less enjoyable. Blue and purple lights dance around their faces and music hits against my chest bone.

“How could you be so heartless?” A sing of chants goes on. And I'm bought back to Earth, I look down at my hands both holding on to red solo cups. Why am I holding these again?

Oh, shit Ava and Ameria. I'm hit back with the realization that I'm at Jake's party and I told the girls I would go get  them more drinks.

I must've zoned out in the hallway. I don't even remember getting here or even getting the drinks. One minute I'm suffocated by bodies of people. Dancing in a cloud of smoke and clenching onto their cups. And now I am here in this hallway where I can finally get my mind focused... I guess.
Ruby's kush never plays.

Songs lap into each other switching from Kanye to Drake.

“Hermès link, ice-blue mink
Tat on my ribs like I do not know what permanent is
They want me gone, wait for the kicker
Bury me now and I only get bigger.” The crowd outside goes on chanting, vibrating the walls with their voices. I pass the bottle-filled kitchen and make my way to the living room where I think I left the girls. I hope they are still there.

As I walk into the blue led lit room, Ameria is toe to toe with Ava. Almost like they having a staring competition but as I get closer I realise, Ameria's fists are balled up and her perfectly arched  eyebrows are crossed and lowered.

Ava stands on guard with her posture straight and her feet spread apart.

“Uh, guys is everything-”

“You sleeping with him you slut.”

“You have this all wrong Ameria!” Ava yells back into her face.

“Don't lie to me! I knew you were. Look at you.” Ameria's eyes her down.

Which only makes my brows frown they practically wearing the same thing. Ripped blue jeans with white shoulderless crop top.

“I'm wearing what you wearing your point is irrelevant.”

“Whatever. Point here is you sleeping with AJ. All this time I cried to you about his cheating. I cried to you Ava!” Ameria pushes her and Ava falls back.

“Wait guys–” I place the drinks on the floor. 

“Yo Ameria I got you-
AJ enters the room also holding drinks in his hands interrupting me in the process I hope he squishes whatever is going on here because right now I want to disappear.

“Woah Ameria Calm down.” He catches on quickly to what is going on

“Calm down!” She turns to AJ both of you are liars she wails.
That freezes me up. I've never heard her scream like that, I swear her vocal cords could have torn. 

“Baby relax I think you've had too much to drink.” He places his hands on her forearms.

She pulls her arms away. “You disgust me AJ! You and Ava” a?She faces Ava who has her arms crossed. “Playing Romeo and Juliet behind my back.”

Ava chuckles “you really think I would do that to you? Ameria why are you still with AJ if you know he cheats?”

Immediately like a speeding bullet Ameria lunges at Ava, grabs onto her hair yanks her down.  Ava kicks Ameria on the thighs trying to get Ameria to stop.
I shrink into the corner of the room my heart beats faster.
AJ hastily runs to the girls and pulls Ameria off Ava. Carrying half of her body to the other side of the room

“Your such a bitch Ava you've been fucking my man Admit it! ” Ameria kicks, squirms, and bites AJ's hands.

“Ameria stop you got this all wrong!”

“Don't defend her AJ,” she huffs
“You make me this way!”

“Dammit” AJ cries out and drops her to the floor.

“I'll fucking kill this bitch!” Ameria Stands up straight. “You think you can do this to me and not expect me to come for blood!” She goes on.

As Ava fixes her black bangs.

“I'll finish you!” Ameria says.

Ava walks towards the door with a stain of mascara on her face. She needs me right now. I have no idea what is going on between Ameria and Ava but, all I know is Ava needs me right now.

So I follow her until she makes her way out of the living room.

She walks fast clearly trying to escape the chaos. “Wait can you slow down?”

“Don't follow me” Her voice cracks. Her hand lands on the front door and I grab onto her arm.

“Don't push me away we can talk about this.”

“Stop it, Nora.” She yanks her arm away from me and proceeds to open the door.

Even though she tells me to stop I can't help but not care. I have to be there for her even when she pushes me away. I know behind her anger there is pain.
