Chapter One (pt.
3):
I slid on my little black dress and red wedge heels. It was a
sheer, short dress but I didn't mind. Once in a while it
was nice to look a little edgy. I dabbed on some red
lipstick and a smokey black eyeshadow with mascara to top it
off.
Why was I even going on this date? I knew i shouldn't...
but maybe this time would really be different. Alex was such
a back and forth person. Sometimes I loved him so much the
pain seemed worth it. When someone is your world, nothing
else seems to matter.
I curled my hair into big loopy waves and put on my
chandelier earrings. I actually looked pretty good. When I
walked out of the bathroom, Krista whistled and winked at me
jokingly.
I laughed and gave a big, toothy smile.
"I gotta go meet Ian at Bennigans," She said,
standing up and stretching her arms out sleepily before
walking over to the door.
"Have fun tonight hunnybunny," She smiled,
"But not too much fun!" She added with a wink
before shutting the door behind her. A meek chuckle escaped
my lips before I sat down on my bed.
Have too much fun with Alex? Yeah right.
I went on my laptop and MapQuested 'Benihanas'. It
was about 20 minutes away, so I figured I should leave as
soon as possible. I took one last look in the mirror, happy
that the bruises on my arms had finally gone away. Then, I
walked out the door. As I grabbed my keys and coat, my mom
walked by me.
"April, are you going out with Alex tonight?"
"Yeah," I replied.
"Okay. Just don't stay out too late," She
sighed, "and use protection April."
"Jesus mom, I told you we havent even done it yet,"
I groaned, rolling my eyes.
"Okayyy..." She said sarcastically. I scoffed and
walked outside.
The cold night air hit my like a wall, making me shiver down
to my very bones. I tighhtened my black jacket around my body
and made my way to my used Red Sedan. My car was a
hand-me-down from my older sister Mariah, who went off to
college and bought herself a brand new green convertable.
Perks of being a younger sibling I guess. I turned on the
ignition and off I
went.
