Confessions of a Teenage Alcoholic

Chapter 8

I love your comments! The song holds emotional important to me because it's always the one me and my friends used to scream singing when we went clubbing. And I miss them a lot.:'(

At this time of night, most people would be getting ready for sleep or on their way home after a long day at work, but for me and the girls, it was just getting closer and closer to the time we had to leave for the club.

Energetic, feel good music is blasting through Nora's speaker as we finish getting ready for tonight. I apply an extra layer of Mascara and use a dry brush to brush them out and make them appear even longer than they actually were. Satisfied with my eyes, I proceed to apply a gloss to my lips knowing whole heartedly that it will annoy me but doing it anyway.

Once the makeup is gone, I turn around and ask whether I should straighten the curls out of add more.

"More."

"Definitely more."

With agreement all around, I grin at the girls and wait patiently until Faye is done with the curler.

Purposely scrunching the curls in the meantime, I observe how the curls run through it, differing in texture and length. My hair overall looked long and shined in Nora's lights and as I added little curls around my face I smiled at the reflection actually really liking the girl that was smiling back.

I wore, cliché I know, but a simple black dress. It wasn't anything major but the style was timeless and made my curves appear defined and accentuated. It travelled low and looked great with my winged eyeliner.

What is it about little black dresses that make us feel confident, beautiful and even powerful?

I had no idea, but as I finished up my glass of wine I knew I was going to have a good night.

I start jokingly dancing around the girls as I'm ready and they're still finishing up and they all grin at me and my care free ness.

"Will you please pick out some shoes for me Ives?" Nora says and I go and sit down in front of her shoe closet. Yep. The girl has an entire closet for shoes.

Nora was wearing top and skirt co-ord, a dark satin green which looked great with her pale complexion. Jess was sat beside Nora pouring herself another glass of wine and cheering it with Faye's. Jess wore some high waisted burgundy trousers with a black bralette and Faye was dressed in a simple and flattering pink cocktail dress.

We all looked nice, and ready to go and dance.

"Here." I say and toss her some shoes that I'm sure will look great with her outfit.

We all start rushing around to make sure we have everything as the cab texts that a driver will be outside soon. Slightly tipsy and just excited to have a girl's night I laugh freely with the girls as we exit Nora's room and make our way outside.
