I am Stella and I have two friends that are my world, Ana and Penny, they know how much I hate being outside and meeting other people so they do that as often as they can.
“It will be fun and please just chill Stella.” Ana said as we walk inside the house.
We were at a house party at some girls place that Penny's girlfriend knows, so I am not happy about being woken up, being put in jeans and a tight blue shirt and dragged out tonight. They actually though called me last night and told me that we were going to this party but I was just going to ignore them and just say I fell asleep. I was all cosy in bed watching Finding Nemo but no they just let themselves in and just started throwing me around. I gave Sigrid a look asking for help but she just lifted her hands not ready to fight her girlfriend for me, I just put my tongue out at her and she smiled at me. I took a shower but it was not a long shower because I just needed to cleanse myself, as I was planning to just hang in my phone and then sneak out.
I was about to go and find myself a seat for the evening when Ana took my hand, dragged me to the kitchen and poured me a drink.
“No Ana don't you know how I get when I drink and most especially when you mix my drinks” I protest when she pushes a blue cup at my face.
“Yes but Penny is going to be stuck to Miss Sigrid and besides we are at a house party what could happen” she said and pouted.
I look around and see all the people here, wow there are like 20 people just on this floor and I can see other people outside.
“Fine but you know when you have to put me in a taxi home Ana” I said and looked her straight in the eyes.
She just puffed and took a big sip of her drink.
“Nonsense you are sleeping with me this night” She said with her drink at her lips.
I just nodded my head because that is kind of our thing, us three mostly never sleep alone when we go out, one time at a hotel we all slept together in this one king size bed. I smile at that memory because it was horrible, I grind my teeth, Penny is way to hot and Ana talks in her sleep.
I met Anabeth and Penelope when we were in middle school and we were instant friends, we then later went to the same high school and were just inseparable. We all like the same rap music, we like the same shows but then there are things that we can just sit for hours arguing about something that is close to our heart. I am the mom of the group, Penny is the teen of the group and last is Ana the baby of the group. I smile looking at Penny scanning the room because she is so beautiful but does not really know it. She is taller than me by a couple cm, her hair so raven black and her figure is petite. I look around and see Penny holding hands with Sigrid and talking to some people. Ana is about the same height as me, blonde like me but she has brown eyes but mine are green. Yeah blonde hair and brown eyes you don't see that often and most people think that Anas hair is dyed but she really don't do anything with her hair because she is not ready to pay so much money to change her hair.
“AAHHH Penny!” I squeal as she pinches me in the arm. I didn't even notice her walking over to me and Ana walking over to some other people.
“Common stay with me Stella” she said as she pinched my arm.
“Yeah yeah I am here” I said as I roll my eyes at her.
She grabbed arm and pulled me out where the people were smoking, we both light up and start talking about the new movie that was in the cinemas. Some girl joins in, she and Penny get into an argument about who is hotter of the actors, I have no say in it as I like them both so I just keep on smoking while listening to them.
“So what are your names and how do you know the hostess?” She asks laughing and throwing her hands up in defeat.
“I am Stella and this is Penny, our friend Sigrid knows the hostess from school I think” I answer her so she does not think I am being rude by not contributing to the last subject.
She looks at me then and smiles way to much, she looked at me like I was her best friend or something and that bothers me. (You see now why I hate going to parties?)
“My name is Elisabeth and I am the hostess” she said and her smile never altered.
“O my god really? You live in this huge mansion?” Penny said with shocked eyes.
I just shake my head at my friend because now she is not leaving the poor girl alone, she is going to be asking all sorts of questions about cleaning, plumbing and just everything about it. Elisabeth smiles and nods her head ready for the questions that she has definitely answered before by so many people. I was about to light another one when Ana came to the door and yells.
“Stella! Get your plump ass in here and meet some people!”
I gave her a death stare, any other person might have gotten scared or uncomfortable at my stare but Ana is immune. I then put my cigarette back and slap Penny a little on the ass to let her know I am leaving but she doesn't even look at me because she is raining down questions at poor Elisabeth. As I enter the house, the smell of alcohol is so strong that I need to stop get used to it for a few seconds, I then open my eyes and look for where Ana ran to.
I find her deep inside the house in a circle with people, she is laughing so hard that she is bending over and slapping her knee. Before I go over to her I look around to find Sigrid so my mind can relax with knowing where everybody is, I find her on a sofa talking to some guy and by the suggestions of her hand she is talking about boats. Sigrid rebuilds boats for a hobby, and she could have made a really good career out of it if she wasn't so smart and was recruited to be a professor of mathematics at a college right after finishing school.
“There is my beautiful best friend” Ana said as she walks over to me, kisses me on my cheek and drags me over to the people she was talking to.
I put my hand around her waist because she is unsteady, the people smile at me and one guy takes my hand.
“Hi I ́m Evan”
“Stella” I say without looking at him but he positions himself beside me.
They all start talking about this crossfit competition and I listen intensely because I loved watching it with Penny. I don't contribute to the conversation because I have no interest in getting attention to myself but I did have to bite my cheek.
“f**k”
I heard that boom through the house but I just figured that someone broke something or spilled so I didn't give it a second thought but then I hear loud footsteps behind me. I was just going to turn around when someone pulls my hand and the sparks from it made me gasp. I was turned around and pushed so I had to walk back so won't fall, my back was up against the wall, there was a hand on my chin pushing my head up and the sparks were burning my skin. Before he could kiss me I threw my hand up over my mouth so he kissed my hand, I opened my eyes and looked right into his that were blazing. He lifted his hand and harshly moved my hand away from my mouth, his lips crashed on mine and the sparks were amazing but I was too mad to enjoy it so I fisted my loose right hand and punched with all my strength into his ribcage. I heard my hand brake and saw him flinch, he moved away from me surprised and angry. I did not break eye contact with him even though my hand was killing me.
“ANA” I growled.
She ran to my side and but her hands around my shoulders, he growled at the touch but I just squint my eyes at him.
“You need to take my rings off before my hand gets too swollen” I say with pain filled voice.
She tipped from foot to foot very nervous about what I asked of her to do, but then Penny and Sigrid came like a hurricane. Ana shook her head and walked straight to me pushing the guy that had his fist clenched and did not take his eyes off me. Ana came to my side and with one swift pull pulled my two rings off, she is a nurse so my arm did not startle her that much but then she looked better at my hand and sighed. She has always been nervous about us getting hurt because she has seen such horror at the hospital.
“What the f**k did you do Ian?” Elisabeth yells at him.
So his name is Ian good to know, then he only looked at her and she bowed her head and backed off. Weird.
“We have to get you to the hospital, who has not been drinking?” Sigrid asked while Penny was still in shock and Ana was holding me. The pain was getting to be too much, I felt like I was about to faint but my stubbornness was getting the best of me but then one tear escaped my eye and I was again involved in sparks.
“Let her go!” I hear Ana say with her work voice and the sparks leave me.
I start to walk to the door.
“Where are you going?” I hear a beautiful and deep voice say.
“To the f*****g hospital!” I yell with a pain filled and broken voice.
