The week flew by really quickly and I haven't seen the hoodie guy and its a relief to be honest. Today was a Saturday and I feel like going out but I don't know any places and people. Then I suddenly remembered someone. Maybe Naomi would love to go out. I called her and she answered after 3 rings. " Hey girl how you doing?" I asked.
"HEY! Im good." she answered
"I wanna go out tonight and I don't know any nice places around."
"I know just the right place. There is a party tonight and I think you will enjoy yourself. Its around our neighbourhood. Its a house party. I can go with you." Turns out that we live in the same street but I didn't know. She is new at school but not new to the place. I went downstairs to ask my mom and step dad about the party. "Mom...stepdad...can I go to a party"
"Yes honey no problem. Go enjoy yourself but be safe. Call me when you arrive." My mom agreed? My stepdad is really a good influence. "She is not going anywhere" Brook said coming down the stairs.
"What??? Why?"
"Because its not safe and you look like the careless type. I am going out with friends and I don't want any phone call saying I should pick up my little step sister"
"Wow oh wow" Then I stomped to my bedroom. Who is he? He is not my dad. Plus mom agreed. So he does not get to dictate me. Im going to that party whether he likes it or not. Later in the evening, I took a bath and picked out a cute outfit with some sick sneakers. Im a sucker for sneakers honestly. Then I took my own keys to the house, my car keys, my phone and some cash for refreshments. I made sure Brook had already left before I leave. My mom was also out with my stepdad for dinner and the kids.
Trevor probably went out too. So I took my car and and left for the party. Naomi already sent the directions to the house party. When I got there, it was really packed. Naomi was waiting for me in the parking lot. She brought drinks because we didn't want any trouble. Before we got inside,I saw that guy with the hoodie leaning on a car and was looking in our direction but this time, I saw his face.He was definitely a Greek God. He had dark hair, brown skin, tall and a well-built body. "Naomi who is that?" I asked.
"That's my brother Aiden, he doesn't like crowds. He is probably waiting for his friend so they could leave. His friend is dating the birthday girl."
"I thought he was the same guy who kept following me. It seems I was wrong. Your brother is probably harmless. Right?"
She laughed and said "Yes silly. Don't worry. Your stalker is probably no longer interested and found out that you are not his target or he mistaken you for someone else."
We got inside and it was less crowded than outside shockingly. We opened our drinks and started dancing to the music. It was really fun until I bumped into someone. "Hey...sorry about that" I said. I then noticed that it was Aiden, Naomi's brother and he looked at me like I was mysterious. He then said" Umh...you must by Brook's new little sister. I have heard a lot about you."
"I don't think many people know me. How did you know what"
"I have sources. You look cuter than I expected. I can't believe you are that jerk's little sister. He doesn't deserve you bunny" I felt that it was wrong talking to him even though I felt a bit attracted to him. "Oh sorry My name is Aiden and you are?" He said.
"Im Zenith and It was nice knowing you." I turned to leave but he grabbed my hand and took me to the dance floor with me. We started to dance and he is really good at it. Then I realised something and stopped. "Whoa! Aren't you supposed to hate crowds?" I asked.
"Well my best friend ditched me for a quickie with his girlfriend and I was planning to leave but then decided on having a little dance with you. Yes I hate crowds but I made an exception for you" This guy gave me goosebumps. I then felt someone pulling me towards the door. When I got outside. It was none other than Brook. "Okay that's it! Whats your problem? You are really starting to piss me off! You are not my dad to make things clear" I shouted
"Yeah blah blah blah. I don't care. Why are you so disobedient? You were supposed to stay at home like I said. Its not safe for you. You are not supposed to be dancing with strangers who are capable of killing you at any second!"
"What are you talking about? I was just dancing with Naomi's brother and he is harmless."
"You don't know that! You are new to this place and apparently you think you know it all? No one cares about you here! NO ONE!" He shouted. Okay that one really hits hard. I ran off to my car and drove home without saying good bye to Naomi or her brother. I went straight to my bedroom and locked. I cried my heart out for hours. I had always been lonely and never had a normal family. My mom was always always busy for, not that I blame her. She bought us everything we needed. Soccer always kept me busy too cause I avoided being alone. Loneliness was my weakness honestly. So when Brook said those things, it really hurt. He also made me miss my dad. He was passed away when my sister was born. It was tough for me. He was my best friend.
After all those thoughts, I drifted off to sleep.
