As we got closer to the venue, my heart rate sped up. It was then that the thought of entertaining the presence of so many others shook me. Kendall didn't seem to notice, however. I felt so strongly about that and for a split moment, I wanted to give up on that shenanigan and Dr. Dean's advice and go home.
It took a lot of self-discipline on my part to stop myself from voicing those particular thoughts. If I did, it'd break Ken's spirit and all her excitement would amount to naught and I was not a monster. Then, I could hear loud music which undoubtedly emanated from the venue, and did nothing but escalate my apprehension tenfold.
I'd never been to a party—not including birthday celebrations I attended at a tender age before my scars came along—especially one of that ilk and it would be wise to keep that piece of information to myself.
