LOST

Chapter 2

Ella's POV

“Wear that blue dress, it looks way better on you than the pink," Alex said as I walked out of the wardrobe wearing a pink mini-dress.

'' Seriously..." I asked, looking at myself once again.

''I thought pink looked good on me.''

“Trust me... wear the blue," Alex said, nodding her head in approval as I groaned out and walked back into the wardrobe.

Rampaging through my closet for the blue dress that she was talking about, luckily for me, I finally found it and soon enough, I walked back into the room with it in my hand.

Wearing it, I looked at myself in the mirror and Alex was right.

''Blue sure looks good on me," I said to myself.

''You see that smile on your face. It proves that I am right," I heard Alex say behind me.

''Fine, you were right, but don't go get a big head because of that," I chuckled and Alex smiled, getting up from bed.

''Right... why don't you finish getting ready while I get ready as well," Alex smiled as she walked out of the room.

Sitting in front of the mirror, I took in a deep breath as I picked up my makeup brush, and started my makeup. Soon enough, I was done with my makeup. I was about to get started with my hair when I heard Alex yelling out my name.

“Ella, hurry the hell up," she screamed, and I rolled my eyes.

Because of Alex's constant calls, I had to hurriedly curl my hair up as I put some finishing touches on my face.

But as I was about to pick up my purse, Alex burst in.

“Come on Ella, what is taking you so long? The girls are already waiting for us," Alex yelled.

Chill... I'm ready, I just need to fill up my purse," I said.

Hurry up then... you know you got dressed before I did, so I don't understand why you aren't still ready yet," Alex let out.

“Would you relax, I'm ready now," I said, rolling my eyes as I walked out of the room with her trailing behind me.

We took my car. Alex insisted that she had to drive us and I didn't fight her about it.

But I wished I had done it because, damn, she was a terrible driver.

Getting to the club, we soon walked into the dim-lit room with different colours of light coming from the top.

The music was loud and people were drinking and dancing the night away.

“Ella..." I suddenly heard my name through the loud music as I looked up to find Mandy running up to us.

Ella, you made it," She screamed and I nodded, smiling.

It's all thanks to Alex, she wouldn't take no for an answer," I said.

Good then because we are going to have so much fun, the girls are waiting in that lounge over there," Mandy yelled through the music as she took me by the hand, pulling me along with her.

Reaching the lounge, the other girl's eyes shone in surprise as they saw me.

Look who decided to come out of her cave," Olivia said as she hugged me.

I heard about the breakup. I'm so sorry, Liam is such an ass," Sasha said, hugging me as well.

Yeah, we officially hate him now," Ava and Mandy said as they both hugged me and soon enough, I was in a swaddle of hugs.

“Okay... that's enough, we didn't come here to cry about Ella's breakup but we came here to get drunk," Alex yelled, totally saving me from the invasion of hugs I was currently in.

Yeah, that's right, the first round is on me," Mandy screamed as she ran out happily and soon enough she was back with a tray filled with shots.

“Okay girls, let's do shots," Sasha screamed and immediately everyone took a take.

“To Liam's sorry ass," Olivia said and everyone yelled at the same time.

“To Liam's sorry ass" as they all down their shot.

I couldn't help but laugh. I love my girlfriends, they are always there for me in good times and bad and I wouldn't want to trade their friendship for anything in this world.

Downing shot after shot, the alcohol was soon settling in and I was slowly getting drunk.

''f**k, I was already drunk and at that moment, my heart ached a little less now.

With every drink I took, I forgot about Liam and the breakup.

''Alex was right, coming out did help me," I said to myself.

Looking down at our glasses, I saw we were already out of drinks.

“I'm going to get us another round," I screamed and all the girls shouted in excitement.

''Wait, I'm coming with you," Alex said as she stumbled up to her feet.

We soon walked towards the bar, yelling at the bartender.

Two bottles of your finest tequila," I and Alex both shouted at the same time.

Realising we had just said the same thing at the same time, we busted out laughing.

Well, alcohol is having its fun with us now.

The bartender soon placed the bottles before us, so I took out my card and straightened it out for the bartender, but then I heard a male voice say beside me.

“Put it on my card intended

Turning to where the voice was coming from, my eyes shone brightly as I saw a very handsome man.

He was tall and a shade of Carmel, not too dark, not too light, just perfect, his chestnut brown hair fell perfectly down his head.

And his honey-brown eyes could make any woman wet in an instant.

Watching me check him out, a smile crept onto his face and soon I heard him say.

“So would you allow me to pay for your drinks," he said, smiling.

“No, thank you... I can pay for my drinks just fine," I mumbled out my words as I stumbled from one foot to the other, trying to find my composure.

“Well, thank you alcohol," I rolled my eyes at myself.

Nodding his head with a downcast look on his face, I ignored him as I turned to the bartender trying to give him my card, but Alex snatched it from my hand.

Turning to look at her in surprise, she ignored me, only to look towards the stranger beside us.

“Don't mind her, you can stay for our drinks," Alex smiled and the man nodded, giving his card to the bartender.

“What are you doing," I asked as I pulled Alex to the side.

“Helping you forget about Liam, can't you see that dude is feeling you," Alex smirked.

'' But I'm not feeling him," I said, quoting my emphasis on feeling.

“Ella, listen, the only way to get over one guy is to get under another... Rebound girl," Alex smiled.

And that guy over there is a perfect candidate," she smirked yet again.

Looking at Alex for a while, I didn't know why I was reasoning her words.

but soon the guy called out to us.

''It's all paid for," he smiled.

''Thank you," I said shyly.

'' My name is Arthur, Arthur Logan, what is your name," he asked.

“Ella... my name is Ella and this is my friend, Alex," I said.

''Beautiful name, Ella," He smirked and I giggled unknowingly.

''Here is my card. Call me whenever you get the chance," he said, handing me his card.

''Taking it from him slowly, I looked deeply into those honey-brown eyes of his and I didn't know what came over me.

Maybe it was the alcohol, or Alex's words, or the fact that I was trying so desperately to forget about Liam once and for all.

That I didn't when I grabbed him by the shirt, pulling him down to myself as I kissed him deeply.

And that was the last thing I remembered.
