Chapter 23
One month later
Moon's Pov
The last month passed extremely slow and to be honest it was difficult to get used to this new situation i'm in, being lonely in most of the classes, feeling guilty every time I remember what happened to Ian or see him in the class I don't even dare to look at him and being faker by faking happiness every time Damien talk or hang out with me and the rest because honestly I'm starting to feel uncomfortable because every time I ask about what happened to Ian each one of them come up with a different story and obviously I couldn't ask Ian or even Emily I don't wanna see her face she looks at me in disgust every time I look at her. What she said to me the last time we talked is still on my mind I can't forget, Those words are literally hunting me down
"Hey" Damien whispered next to me
"What!!" I snapped out of my straying back to the reality which is the cafeteria, I'm sitting with all of them
"What were you thinking about?" Damien asked
"Nothing, I'm just tired" i smiled and he nodded
"Guys I forgot to tell you" Alex said while chewing
"What?" Vicky added
"My parents traveled today to Italy and i got the mansion all alone so!!" He said in a surprising way
"SO WE'RE PARTING TONIGHT, AREN'T WE?" Jessica hyped
"YES" Alex hyped back, He and Jessica make a great combo of craziness
"Finally something interesting " Vicky said scrolling down her phone, Vickey is always mysterious and a listener kinda person not talkative at all
"What are you gonna wear?" Damien whispered in my ears
"I don't know but i think I'm gonna wear something comfy" I said and shrugged
"Comfy? In a party? Do you have something sexy but at the same time comfy?" He said biting his lip
"I think...why?" I looked at him in confusion
"Babe" He said intertwining our hands "It's gonna be the first party we attended since we start dating" He smirked
"I'm gonna throw up" Vicky said gaging
"Shut up" Damien giggled pointing at her then the bell rang
"We have physics all of us let's go" Damien said standing up with me
We walked through the corridor while we're walking I saw Ian walking across me and his eyes falls on our intertwined hands, he clenched his hands and his fists, he stopped in front of his locker, I excused myself and walked to him
"Hey Ian" I looked at him hopefully, He closed his locker strongly and I flinched
"Ian?" He pushed me aside and started walking away. I want him to forgive me. I want to be....best friends again? I don't know. I want to talk with him, laugh and joke with him. I want to return to this glory days but he hates Damien and I like him it's just so complicated but I won't lie i feel something missing without Ian near me
"Don't even try, this is Ian he always wants everything for himself" Vicky said standing next me
"No, he's not and to keep it clear vick if you want us to still be friends don't talk about Ian deal?!" I asked raising my left eyebrow and for good couple seconds her expression turned dark but she drawn back a smile fast
"Oh our cat grew up her claws now...anyways I won't talk again deal" she said hand shaking mine
"Thank you, lets go to the class" I said walking fast to the class that i enters before them, when I entered i was introduced to the second heart breaking thing for today....Ian changed his seat, i used to sit behind him now he exchanged seats with Peter so now he's in front of Emily, the past month he sat in his place which was good but now even sitting near him flew away, i leaned my head in my balm glancing at Emily who is looking at me from the corner of her eye, I ignored her and slept on the desk
"Ugh" I mumbled closing my eyes, I felt fingers ruffling my hair, I raises my head to find Damien's face
"Are you okay?"
"Uh, yes i'm, As i told you i'm just a little tired " I smiled trying my best to look fine because I'm in no mood to explain anything, He nodded kissing my cheek
"Let the kisses be after the class Damien" I flinched by the teacher's voice which made all the class look at us and the whole whispering thing started
Oh lord this day is attempting to make me lose my mind.
.....
The day past slower than a grandpa turtle and now I'm heading home with Damien
"And here we are" He said pulling over
"Thank you" I said making effort to sound good
"I suggest you get a good nap cause i fell like i'm talking to a zombie" He said and I giggled
"Sure captain" I said opening the door
"I will pick you up at 8"
"Kay bye" i said walking forward to the door
"Love you "
"Me too" I said getting in
"Moon why do look like that?" Dad asked
"Oh hi daddy...don't worry i was up all night studying so I'm a bit tired" And here goes another lie
"Study as you like but don't lose your health please I prefer you stupid but beautiful" He said teasing me
"Dad!! I'm not stupid" I huffed
"Of course you're not" He hugged me, i smiled and went straight to my room, threw myself on the bed and everything went black
....
"Moon" I groaned
"Moon walk up, your friend is downstairs" Mom said tapping my back
"Who ?" I said trying hardly to open my eyes
"He said his name is Damien" I opened my lids quickly
"You said who?" I said sitting up "What time is it?" I asked
"It's 8:30" As she said I jumped off the bed
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god " I said opening my closet
"What is going on?" Mom asked looking at me with a terrified look
"Um i was supposed to go to a party tonight but I forgot to tell i even forget to put on an alarm to wake up " I said hitting my forehead
Mom was about to talk but someone knock on the door
"Come in dad " I said and thank you life it wasn't daddy but instead it's my secret boyfriend seeing me in the worst appearance ever which makes me think am i ever gonna have a good luck once?...probably not.
"I'm sorry that I'm interrupting but i heard your voice so i came to see if everything is ok" He said and the first thing i do is fixing my hair which is flying in the air from sleeping
"Um i slept without knowing" I shrugged
"Well i can see that " He said pointing at my clothes then i mouthed "I didn't tell mom yet" and he caught it fast
"Mrs robin can i take her to the party tonight"
"Where is the party?"
"It's in our friend Alexander's house"
"Ok I'm gonna talk to her Dad for a minute and come" Mom said dialing daddy's number while getting out of the room, so now it's just me and him in the room and I'm bloody nervous even though I shouldn't be but it's an inner feeling which is taking over my mind
"Miss robin did you check your phone" He said closing the door, I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and found 7 missed calls from him
"Oh" I said biting my nails
"You have to compensate me " He said and I giggled
"And how i'm i gonna do this "
"With a kiss" he said getting closer
"What? no no no" I said walking back
"Why why why ?" He mocked me
"Wait" he cut me "you didn't tell your mother about us, right ?
"No...but i can explain"
"Our relationship started as a secret and I couldn't tell mom because I didn't want to lose her trust"
"Is this the truth or is it Ian who is preventing you" He said and he is not lucky for saying this cause i'm sick of hearing this again and again he got on my edge today
"Here we go again about Ian's situation" I huffed
"Why does it bother you that much?" He asked
"Damien listen to me I lost my best friend to be with you so can you get over him for once do you think I'm happy that i lost him ? Of course not and thats why you should feel special but instead you're just keeping complaining and everything i say or do is passed by an Ian's speech from you guys just knock it off" I said meaning every word
" I'm sorry i just wanted a kiss"
"And you're not gonna take it"
"No i will" He smirked walking closer
"No you won't " i said and covered my mouth with my hands
"Moon" Mom yelled from outside so I jumped and walked to her
"Your dad agreed" she said heading downstairs
"Ok i will get dressed" I said raising my eyebrows to Damien to get out then he mumbled "i'm gonna get that kiss" then left
...
It took me 15 minuets to get dressed which impressed me, I wore my dark blue off shoulder jumpsuit, my hair is curled and i wore white heels
"I'm ready" i said entering the living room
"You look gorgeous" Mom said
"Thank you" i smiled waving to Damien for us to get out cause it's 9:15
"Ok miss robin it was nice meeting you and as we said i'm gonna drive her back home at 12"
"Have fun" Mom said and we got out and hopped in his car
"Did your mom said gorgeous? Cause i think she meant hot" He said and i busted into laughter while he started the engine
...
We stopped in front of Alexander's mansion and oh my god it's a masterpiece literally, it's huge and beautiful
"Wow" I whispered getting out of the car
"It's cool right!"
"Are you kidding? i can get lost in this place" I said and he giggled
"Come, they're at the pool i think" He pulled me inside and hell yeah the place is crowded as hell even in this big mansion the place is crowded, we walked a long hallway till we reached a glass door which leads to the pool and yes the squad are there sitting on a couch far from the pool and in front of them is a mini table with alcohol and snacks
"Hi guys" i said talking seat next Alexander and Damien followed me so now i'm in between
"HI" They yelled of course they're high
"You look beautiful Moon you surprise me every time" Jessica said smiling at me, i smiled back without saying anything because till now I didn't get an enough explanation about her deal with Em against me, i've been ignoring jess the whole month and i know she knows that i do it on purpose
"This is your first time in my house so please let me cheer you up with a drink" Alexander said pouring Tequila for me
"No, Alex you know I don't drink" I said pushing his hands back with the shot
"Ugh are you gonna stay like this all your life have fun man!! What's wrong with your mind " Vicky added meanly
"I mean one try won't do anything it's just one shot sweetie" she added but in a nicer way
I looked at Damien who is nodding for me to try
"Um I don't know " I shrugged
"UH COME ON" They said in one voice, i looked at the shot for a second...Am i really gonna do this?
I think Vicky is right maybe one try won't get me wasted right?
"Ok I'll try it" I said taking it
"OH MY LORD FINALLY " Alex hyped
The glass is cold and filled all the way up with a lemon slice on the side, I inhaled a breath and without thinking twice i took the shot quickly
And if i could swear to god for the rest of my life that it burns my throat like i'm drinking boiling water at 100 c
I gasped from pain " Oh my god" I said start coughing and i can hear them laughing
"You will get used to it " Damien said giving me water
"This is horrible"I said with my voice total raspy
"You'll get used to it, Just take another one" Alex said pouring more
I was gonna say no but i was cut of by Damien's excuse to the restroom , then i took the shot trying to shut my overthinking mind
"Go on" Vick said and i nodded sipping it in
But I widened my eyes at the taste of it, it changed, i narrowed my eyes looking at the shot closely and i found small white pieces "What did you put in this?" I hissed
"What?" Alex smiled acting dumb
"WHAT DID YOU PUT IN IT ALEX?" I yelled standing up completely sure he put something in it from the way he looks at me
"It's a magic pill" He said standing up with me
"What do you mean by a magic pill?" I stuttered
"Just sit with me" He said grabbing my forearm
"Don't touch me" I said resisting his grab
"Hey hey calm down" Vicky said followed by Jessica they all came to me and pushed me back to the couch
"What are you doing?" I flinched getting really scared by their absolute changed actions
"Don't you wanna have fun...let's have fun" Jessica laughed turning on her camera and she started taking photos with me, I tried to stand up but I couldn't my legs are shaking, with every flash comes our from her camera i get dizzier
"I want Damien" I said but my voice broke
"Did you say Damien? Ok stay here with Vick i'll get him" Jessica said standing and leaving me alone
"No Don't leave m-" My burning throat stopped me and i start coughing again, I looked around and Alex disappears
"Vick"
"Mmm"
"I'm blurred, I-i'm not feeling well"
"So!!" She looked at me
"Can you take me to the restroom please?" I said trying to stand up by balancing myself but I couldn't so i took off my heels then she grabbed my arm and started guiding me out of the pool area, as soon as we got in her phone start ringing multiple times
"Aren't you gonna a-answer that" I wondered opening my lids wider to concentrate
"I will but take care of your steps" She said and I understood she is talking about the stairs
"Why didn't we get to a nearer restroom i'm dizzy" I said and heard her huffing
"The one up stairs is better and you will have some privacy" She said and straight after the stairs there's a long white hallway with a long red carpet
"This is it" She said stopping in front of a huge white door, I stepped forward hardly balancing myself and opened the door and I don't know if i'm hallucinating but i'm seeing a bed it's a Bedroom
"Vick i think this is no-" As i was turning to face her she pushed me strongly inside that i fell on the floor, I gasped nearly screaming of the surprising move then she slammed the door and locked it
"VICKY OPEN THE DOOR" I tried to shout but it came out as a whisper feeling my eyes watering while knocking on the door
"Vicky this is-is not f-funny"
"The one you're looking for is inside, have fun, bye"
"What" I whispered standing up trying to balance myself "Damien?"
I balanced myself by leaning on the bed then i heard breathing behind me, I turned around to a huge black body
"Hi stubborn" An alcoholic breath hit my face and hands on my hips but it's not Damien's voice or his hands I looked up and I think it is
"ALEXANDER !!" I tried to shout again hoping at least someone comes in and help but my shout turned out again as a whisper. What are they gonna do with me?
Are they gonna ruin me?
