AUBREY’S POV
“What do you think you are doing?” My friend Jill shouted at me as she held my hand tightly that I could barely move.
She screamed for help and my mum and other servants came to help her carry me back to my bed. At this very moment, I broke down into a cry.
“Leave okay, I will handle her,” My friend Jill told my mum and the rest of the people in the room after I managed to calm. down.
“Are you sure?” They asked her.
“Yeah,” She nodded and they exited the room.
I was seated at the far end of my bed with my legs folded. I was feeling worse than I was before. I wanted these feelings to go away but they were not going away.
My tears never seemed to end. Fresh tears bursted from my eyes as my body shook in pain.
“To what extent are you going to do this to yourself? What were you thinking? You would have died by now if you threw yourself off the balcony. Do you have an idea of how much pain you would bring to your parents?” Jill scolded me without blinking
“Just leave okay, the last thing that I want to talk about is what happened to me. I have gone through a lot and I don’t expect someone like you to understand,” I warned.
“I am not going anywhere, in fact, we are going out,” She mumbled.
“Are you serious right now?” I couldn’t believe that she was asking me that after everything that has happened.
“You have to dress up, we are going out. I want you to see that life moves on regardless of what you are feeling right now,” She jested.
“Forget it,” She was joking right?
“If you want all those feelings to go away, then do as I say.” She seemed to be sure of what she was saying.
“Really?” I implored full of hope. Honestly, all that I wanted was for those feelings to go away.
“Yes. Come on, take a shower, I will do your makeup and please, no more tears. Eli and Victoria don’t deserve your tears,” She was right. Come on Aubrey, no more tears. I urged myself.
Shedding my clothes off, I walked into the bathroom turning on the shower. As the warm water cascaded down my naked body, I closed my eyes trying to forget Eli though it is hard for I still love him so much.
“Why are you taking too long?” Jill’s voice sifted me through my thoughts jerking me back to reality.
I was done showering so I tied a towel around my body and got out of the misty bathroom amidst drying my hair.
Jill hit the shower too and I used that time to blow my hair and flat iron it. I had decided to look my best tonight and nothing was going to deter me from that. If I am going to go out, then let me look my best. This is my mantra from now onwards. If I choose to be at a place then I am not going there to play.
The idea of going out got to my mind and for the first time since it happened, I managed to forget all about them for some time. My heart was yearning to heal and this was my first step in trying to forget that this day happened.
“Why aren’t you dressed?” Jill was quick to scold me after she was done showering.
“Sorry,” I scoffed and made for my wardrobe. All these thoughts had distracted me.
I wanted to put on a pair of rugged jeans and crop but Jill stopped me. She made me wear a maroon bodycon that left some cleavage but not too much. I paired it up with nude statement heels.
Eli always restricted my dressing and to add on that, he did not love me to party.
Anyway, now that he is out of my life, I am going to hit the club.Come to think of it, I was really into this idea. I knew that I am beautiful and I am sure that I will pull the eyes of men towards me once I step into the Black Pearl Club.
Eli is not the only man after all. There are so many men who would be interested in having me in their life because I am a good woman. It is such a shame that he did not see that.
I wore the dress and intentionally decided not to wear panties. I was not kidding when I said that I want to replace Eli today.
“Holy s**t!” That was Jill exclaiming after she saw how bomb I look in the dress.
“How do I look?” I teased. I already knew that I was beautiful.
“I swear men will be tripping tonight,” She gushed.
Jill wore a short skater dress. She was so pretty in it. Jill did my makeup and lined my lips with a bold red lipstick completing my look. After we were done, we left the house and got into the cab that was waiting for us.
I went through my i********: feed but Jill quickly took my phone away before I could start stalking Eli and Victoria.
Jill was right when she said that I should forget what happened and live for the moment. Also, I was not supposed to cry tonight. I am going to the club to enjoy myself and forget what happened.
“Let us go in, “Jill held my hand and we walked into the glass doors after being checked by the bouncer who once again tripped over me.
“Sure,” I etched a smile for once since I read the note Eli sent me.
There were tons of people in the club. Some were dancing, others were just drinking in their seats. The DJ played some good instrumentals and I could feel the mood of parting getting to me.
I was right. I could see men’s eyes staring at me as we made our way to the counter. We needed shots first before anything else.
I could see from the corner of my eyes the man at the far end looking at my bust and that is the attention I wanted tonight. I could already tell that I was going to have a good time.
“Shots please,” I told the bartender who seduced me with his looks.
“Alright miss,” He presented six shots.
We emptied the shots, the liquid burning the back of our throats. We scrunched our faces then smiled the next minute.
“Jill, I want to dance, “I hyped as soon as my favourite song boomed in the speakers of the club.
I walked to the dance floor and shook my ass while holding the floor. In a second, men were flooding the dance floor and each of them was asking for a chance to dance with me.
I was still thinking of whom to choose when I saw this tall, dark and handsome guy.
“Hi,” His charming smile almost swept me off my feet.
“Go for him,” Jill's advice echoed in my ears.
The night had just started.
