Broken - Grayson dolan

chapter 9: party

I'm home, studying. There is a party tonight but I remember promising Matt that I won't go to another party. I hate these anyway.

When I finish studying, I dial Matt's number. I don't want him to Be mad with me. Hopefully, he'll forget about our fight.

"Hi Charlotte"

"Hey Matt ! How are you ?'

" Good, good. Charlotte.. I've been thinking. "

"Yeah ?"

" A distance relationship is complicated. I think, I should give you space. To figure things out. We maybe...umm...need a break ?"

"What ? Matt ? What are you talking about ? I figured things out, I already Know that I want you !"

"God Charlotte I want you too.. So much..but I really need you to figure things out. It's to complicated.with Jake...I..i'm going to hang up now...it really, really was a hard decison to take but I felt like I had to.Bye Charlotte. I love you."

Before I can respond, he hangs up. I don't like Jake ! How is this not obvious ?! He's nice. That's it. This is horrible. How can jealousy end a relationship ? Especially when nothing is happening. Jake is way too insecure about us. I'll call him in a few days so at least it'll look like I "took time to figured things out" even if my choise is already made.

I cry silently on my bed, trying to calm my respiration. I get a call from Thomas.

"Hi Thom' "

"Charlotte ? Have you been crying ?"

"Huh..yeah kind off. It's just a little fight between my boyfriend and I" I explain. I don't even bother lying, I knew he Would push it.

" Listen. What you need is a party. Forget about your boyfriend and just have fun"

"Noo Thomas, I want to do homework."

"Shut up with your nerdy crap one minute"

" Thomas, I don't want to go ! These parties aren't even fun"

"Because you have been going there with the wrong people"

"I don't have anything to weaar !"

" Meet me at the bus station in one hour " he hangs up.

Not going to happen. He knows me better than that. I'm not going to show up. I should watch an episode of Pretty little liars. When I start putting netflix, I hear the Bell ring. Jake must Be home. He must have forgotten his keys. I get up hastily and open the door. To my surprise, it reveals Thomas. He's dressed nicely and he has a black bag.

"I knew you wouldn't get your ass off your couch so I came here" said Thomas cheerily.

"But..Thomaaaas. Let's just watch a movie or something"

"Ashley wouldn't appreaciate me spending the night, at your house.."

"Ughh..." I groan.

"Since you said you didn't have anything to wear, I brought you a Nice dress." exclaims my best friend, entering the house. I smile, close the door and follow him to my door.

"Really Thomas ?"

When he opens the bag, I see a simple cute dress. It's red but it seems way too short. It's classy and simple at the same time. If I wasn't me, I Would have worn it. But i'm too lame for this.

"You're wearing this. Now. Hurry"

"Thomas this beautiful..."

"Perks of being Ashley's boyfriend. I have good taste for girls" winks Thomas.

"Is it hers ?" I ask, making a grimace.

"Nah, it's one of my sister's old dresses. Thought it could be perfect on you" he smiles.

"Thom' I can't wear that. It's short and..it's-"

"Perfect. Now shut up and wear this" he claps his hand, motioning me to dress myself. Without arguing, I go into the bathroom and change myself. I gently put the soft fabric over my body. It was more comfortable than I thought. The dress is a bit short but I feel amazingly...new ?

When I stepped out the bathroom, a huge smirk was on Thomas' face.

"You're so hot. I'm so proud of myself."

"Thank you Thomas. But-"

"No but's. I'll curl your hair but I don't know how make the make-up shit, Ashley is still teaching me this" he says, earning a laugh from me.

"She's teaching you how to put on make-up ?! "

" Yeah ! For my daughter. She better be slaying everyone" he responds, making me laugh even more.

°°°

Thomas curled my hair, and brang high heels. I didn't put on some make-up but I was satisfied really. When I looked into the mirror, I felt so confident. To ward off the cold, I put on wollen stockings. We entered Thomas' luxury car and arrived after a few minutes.

I could already hear the loud music. It was my type of music but it wasn't my type of party. However, Thomas' presence was making everything better. Unfortunately, I had the foresight that even if i'd have fun with Thomas, something bad Would happen..
