After the party: Isabel point of view

I should have kept my mouth shut.

The thought played on repeat in my head as I grabbed my jacket and keys, preparing to leave Elena's apartment.

Lydia had already gone home, and since I had been the only one not drinking, I didn't have the luxury of pretending to be too tipsy to deal with the mess I had created.

Carmen had spent the last half hour smirking at me like she was enjoying every second of my suffering. Elena kept giving me looks that ranged from disbelief to exhausted resignation. And Chloe?

Chloe was pissed.

Not like furious, not rage-filled, but she had that particular huff about her. The kind where her lips were slightly pursed, and she was glaring just enough that it was noticeable but not dramatic.

The kind of mad where I knew she was going to be extra annoying just to get back at me.

So, naturally, I was stuck leaving with her.

Because, of course, Chloe didn't have a car.

Or a driver's license.
