Chapter Nineteen

LEE

After spending most of the day in my room wallowing in self-pity, my stomach growled.

God my cheeks were still burning from the shower incident, let alone the whole Kyle giving me my first orgasm before sneaking out.

I was such a fool.

Kyle couldn’t have made it clearer that he wanted to be friends, but no, I had to go and throw myself at him…literally.

“Uh.”

I was still cringing in shame, chewing my fist.

Music was pumping from the stereo downstairs; we had company.

I trudged downstairs and smoke filled air immediately filled my lungs.

I hated cigarette smoke; it reminded me of my father.

People were scattered around the hall, and I could see from the open door that the kitchen was jammed with people.

I would have gone straight back upstairs normally, but I was so hungry I decided food was more important than nurturing my anxiety.

A familiar redhead approached me from the kitchen direction, barely decent in denim short-shorts and a cut off blue tank top, revealing her tiny waist.

My god, did she not feel the cold?

“Cute jim-jams.”

I knew she was being sarcastic, and I silently cursed myself for coming downstairs in Kyle’s old ratty football shirt and shorts.

“Or are you trying out for a sports team?”

Girls like her made my skin crawl.

I could never understand their need for bitchiness and continuous drama.

I had suffered for years at the hands of girls just like Rachel at my highschool back home.

Like Rachel, I had done nothing to those girls who obviously disliked me.

I made no reply and turned my back on her.

“Oh right, I forgot Kyle said you were a little slow,” she said loudly.

I took a deep breath, urging myself to calm down and not retaliate...that was what she wanted.

She was lying.

He wouldn’t say that about me… would he?

I kept my feet moving away from her.

What the hell did Kyle see in her, she was such a bitch?

Sure, physically she was beautiful, but that girl was pure poison inside.

“He said you were a small town dummy waitress with no education.”

I turned around and glared at her, and she stepped closer.

“Am I wrong?”

Was she?

I used to have hopes, dreams, and ambitions, but now?

I reddened, she was right. I was exactly that.

“Thought not,” she sniggered.

Leaning closer to me, she whispered into my ear, “Don’t think you’re anything special sweetheart, when the chips fall, it will be me he’ll choose.”

She flicked her hair back, plastered a fake smile on her face and walked off.

I could handle Rachel saying bad things about me, but not Kyle.

We were supposed to be…

I didn’t know what we were supposed to be.

He thought I was small town hick, a dummy.

I turned to go back upstairs when I heard Cam’s voice call out to me.

“Lee come on, the party’s this way.”

She grabbed my arm and led me into the kitchen.

Cam filled a glass with vodka and held it out towards me.

I took it and tossed it back without thinking twice.

I wasn’t going to let Kyle, Rachel or anyone else bring me down tonight.

I grabbed the vodka bottle and poured myself another and another after that.
