When I met you

Ch2.Hideaway

I don’t see anything. The room is pitch black. I’m soaking wet and cold “You’re going to be okay, I promise... I got you... She’s going to be okay... I’m so sorry...” I hear, It’s a guy from what I can tell. I feel his hand on my face moving my hair. Where am I? What happened? Who are you? I hear a beeping sound. Uhh my head hurts. The crash.

I wake up hyperventilating again. BEEP BEEP BEEP. It’s Rebecka’s alarm. I shove her to wake her up. How does she not hear it. “What! What, Oh, sorry.” she turns it off. She gets up and goes to the bathroom. That was a new dream. Better than the other one for sure. I wonder if it was real or just a weird dream. I get up to do my make up. I want to do a smoky eye look and incomes Rebecka with a towel and going through my closet. “Let’s see what you have”

“You have your own closet remember!” I roll my eyes

“Yeah but what if I’m not in the mood for my clothes, plus while I look for me I can look for you too. You’ve been single for a while now, we need to find you a new guy. A better guy! Hopefully Ethen or Kassy will not be there but maybe Jackson. Kassy kissed your man you should kiss Her's” she laughs.

“I’m not kissing Jackson. I am not petty. I am not going to go low like Kassy did. Maybe he kissed her and it wasn’t the other way around. Scratch that, I do not want to know what happened. It is over, with all party’s. Plus I think I’m done dating. I should just focus on school and books.”

“You are not done dating. What if Jensen shows up. You need to look hot.” I roll my eyes again. Yeah a hot stranger I have just met is going to show up to a college birthday party. In my dreams. If he is there maybe I’ll have a hope of dating again. I laugh out loud. “What are you laughing about?”

“You thinking that Jensen will be there. That is funny. I will even bet you on it. $20” I say joking

“Fine $20 deal. Yes! I got it. You Raven are going to wear this!” I turn to look and it was a long black satin flowy corset dress that had a slit almost to my hip with spaghetti straps. Then she walked out. Probably because I don’t have too revealing. I put my hair in a tight pony tail with my long bangs split out around my face. Putting on the dress and a pair of black dream pairs hi-lo platform pump sandals. I go to Rebecka’s room to show her the finished product “You look super cute Raven! Jensen is going to be all over you!” I roll my eyes and just say sure.

Ten minutes later Rebecka comes out of her room and she is wearing a brown hollowed out bodycon mini dress that is backless with long sleeves with her shoulders showing and black fuzzy strap clear heel sandals. “Ready lady?” she says throwing her right arm in the air. I giggled and nodded

~~~

“Hey Becka! I’m Glad that you made it” Deaken says grabbing Rebecka’s arm and leaning in to give her a kiss on the cheek. I give her a questionable look. Becka? Really! Is Deaken her secret man she’s been seeing? “And you must be Raven! I have heard a lot about you, I’m glad you could make it!” I smile. I bet it is him.

“I wouldn’t have missed an invitation. Thank you for inviting me!”

“Of course, let’s get you two a drink. We got beer, liquor, pop, juice. Anything to make to your liking.” Deaken led us to the kitchen.

“Becka,” I mocked “Beer or a cosmo?” I asked. I figured since she was googling at Deaken I would make her a drink.

“Cosmo please!” she comments back. Grabbing the vodka, triple sec, splash of lime, cranberry and orange juice. I just grab an Ultra. Handing her, her drink “Thank you Raven.”

“I had a great time with you last night. Actually I have a great time with you all the time.” Deaken says. I was right! It was him. Is it wrong that I’m a little sad that I had to hear it for him and not her.

“You’re the mystery man?” I say surprisingly. “How did this happen?” I look back and forth between Rebecka and Deaken.

“You didn’t tell her yet?” he says confusingly. Well I am glad I am not the only one who seems hurt.

“I was planning on it.” She shrugs.

I lightly rub her shoulder and nodded my head then I walk away. I don’t need to be their third wheel. I walk out of the kitchen that turns into the living room. The huge tv was hung on a wall playing Music videos right now it was showing “Whiskey Glasses” by Morgan Wallen. There’s three couches in the center one on the left in front of the window, one on the right in front of the kitchen and one facing the tv, 10 people in the room listening and talking to each other. Some people on the couches, a few in the corner by the window and a few by the stares. I stand and lean on the wall facing the tv for a little bit. Morgen is one of my favorite singers. “Hey” I turn to face the guy. “I’m Fin, what’s your name?” Fin had spiky blond hair, green eyes, smooth skin with no facial hair. Defiantly not my type but he seems nice

“Raven.” I say plainly.

“Nice to meet you Raven, I think I’ve seen you around campus, What’s your major?” He says

“History, Yours?”

“Law, How do you know Deaken?”

“He knows my best friend and invited me through her. I’ve heard a lot about him through the rumors through campus, it’s actually the first time I met him.” I take another sip of my drink.

“Nice, is it Becka?” He ask. I look at him with confusion.

“Yeah, How did you know?”

“I met her a couple weeks ago, She talked about you when we all went out to eat. I actually bumped in to her a few minutes ago, she told me to talk to you?” What the heck! Does everyone know about them except for me?

“Who’s we?”

“Ha, Is this an interrogation. I thought I was the one with a law major. Becka, Deaken, the girl a was seeing and me. We bumped into each other at Smoke Shop and decided last minute to share a table.” He c****d his head. Obviously, him and that girl are not a thing anymore.

“Nice.” I look away. “I’ll see you around” I walk away. I passed by the stairs into the dining room I look to my right and I see Ethan and Jackson arguing but with my bad luck Ethan looks right at me. I turned so fast and bolt up the stairs turned to the left and I went into the first room on the right. I try and close the door fast but quite so Ethan can’t find me and I lock the door. I lay my head on the door and try to calm my heartbeat. The last time I saw him was the last time I saw my brother. I want nothing to do with him.

“Well, well, well. It’s nice to see you again” I hear the light switch turn on and I see a man’s hand pull away from the switch. I turn around to see who I interrupted. To my surprise I guess I owe Rebecka $20. It’s Jensen. His ruffled hair just makes him look more handsome. I feel like my heart is running more faster than when I was running away from Ethen. Jensen is wearing grey sweatpants with no shirt. His mussels and abs are toned and mouthwatering. And my favorite green flag is that he has tattoos all over. “Hi Raven!” He smirks “Now what brings you to my bedroom? Missed me already?” He puts his hands in his pockets.
