"Be with you"

Chapter 04

At Filiz Night Club:

"Let's Cheers for our beutiful adorable friend Isabella". The drunken voice of 'Maria', isabella's bestfriend announce. She stand on the low table holding a empty alcohol bottle as mic.

The others raised there glasses at her redhm .

"Yhh. But it's a pity she isn't between us anymore". Jennie, another one spoke suddenly crying. People around her gave her weird look.

"I wish she was with us today". They kept their imaginary drama going getting drunk.

When Isabella enter the club, the stench of strong alcohol ,body sweat with mixed perfume hit her nostril directly, blocking her air supply. The club's environment felt completely opposite then that of the resturant she was before, she felt out of breath. The music here is louder then those horrific scream of her sister. DJ Booth shaking by the force like earthquake. The thudding sound of hills on the dance floor is another story , drunk people jumping madly against the music almost out of control. The place reek of chaos.

Isabella push through people, trying to find her friends in the sea of exited youth, her body bump into people on every side, meking her dizzy. She could bearly balance herself while walking.

She curse inaudibly, frustrated by her choice to came here.

She really should have gone home.

But again she didn't want to sleep sad tonight , and she Know well being with her friends will make her less lonely, her friends can divert her mind for sure, beside she don't want to ruin her birthday for that small matter.

She must enjoy tonight no matter what.

But now caming here she kinda regreted her dicision. Her expression turned annoyed with people staring at her with judgemental looks.

some giving her lustful glance , girls around keep looking at her up and down as she passed by.

isabella looked at herself, in hurry to catch up with her friends she forgot to change her formal outfit .

Unlike any clubbing outfit, she is wearing a simple cream colour off shoulder top with brown long skirt with flat shoes. A tote bag hang by her shoulder, that completely ruined the clubbing vibe.

She ignore the people, not giving a damn about what they think, or she might ended up throwing punches at them.

She is already here anyways.

Her mood is already bad enough that her boyfriend didn't show up on her birthday, to think of it she really wanted cry really bad.

She took it positively that Alex has his problems, but still the feeling of being abandoned won't go away. He made her wait there the whole evening without any call, nor did pick her calls.

If not her calling him she could have been still waiting there ,beside the humiliation she felt being alone in the sea of couple, gonna be there in her mind for long.

She choose to forgot this tonight, why ruin her mood.

With lots of difficulty she reach her friends, it gave her relief to see them still there. Atleast she won't feel left out again.

She smile forgetting her pain for a moment, and was about to call them when their drunken conversation reached her ear.

" It would've been good if Bella was with us".

Isabella smile hearing Jennie's statement.

"They really missed me this much".

"We are gonna miss her".

"The're the best thing happened in my life". Isabella spoke in her mind.

She was a kind person ".

" She was an angel ".

" May her soul rest in peace "

" Wow. . . wait - what ".

Isabella looked at them with her jaw dropped, they didn't really killed her, did they?

Their drunken stupidity really ameze her sometimes. She shake her head in disbelief.

" GUYS ". Before they could send her to cemetery, she scream grabbing their attention

They all flinched turning there heads.

" Ahhh, gh-ghost ", they screamed in unison.

" Are you guys too drunk to know that I'm still alive, and what do you mean by gh-ghost". She imitate them.

" And for sake it's my birth anniversary not death anniversary you stupid fool's".

They all looked at her shocked , still processing the situation.

After staring at her for sometime, they seems to get their senses back" Oh. . My . . God, Bella you're alive". The first thing Maria asked sobering up by her sudden arrival.

Isabella gave her a done look " When did i even die b*tch". She really can't believe they're her friends.

She took her words back.

Just how much did they drank anyway.

" Move ". Jennie got up abruptly pushing Maria away, Maria landed on the couch upside down, while Nikkie just laughed at her.

A serise of curse was thrown to Jennie by Maria.

Jennie ignore her standing before isabella, admiring her like she just witnessed something out of this world.

Jennie grab isabella's shoulder "Bella my love it's really you".

"So finally the birthday girl decided to show up Hhn". Nikkei jump in, Right, they were celebrating her birthday at her absence , where she was busy wasting her precious time on that resturant, waiting for someone who might doesn't even remember about her birthday.

"While suprise i guess, and yahh it's ME and any GHOST". She impresized the words for them.

" What about your date ! Did you finally propose him, come on spil the bean. Fast". Jennie asked getting her chance, her tone held an excitement . She jump on the ground impatiently .

Isabella sigh, suddenly not feeling good. She knew once she showed up they will ask her such questions.

Jennie wait while other keep looking at her face waiting for isabella to speak up.

" He didn't show up", that was the only thing she could say before other goes silent.

They gave her a confused look. " What's that supposed to mean". Nikkei asked confused.

" He got some problem at home, so couldn't make it tonight, he said we are gonna held the date some other time". isabella said with stright face not to show any vulnerability so they wouldn't blast in anger. She know how much possessive they can get when it's comes to any of their relationship.

Isabella moved towards the empty space on the couch avoiding their questionable gaze.

She felt embarrassed.

From the last week she is been bragging about how she will propose him, on how the planning could go, she has showed them her full excited side.

But now that nothing worked out she really felt like dying in embarrassment.

She felt really upset that he didn't even wish her, but they don't need to know that.

"Problem? What new problem that fool has this time Bella?" Maria asked fumming in anger.

Jennie follow Isabella towards the couch, other following behind .

"Maria, people have their issues".

"Yhh. And that guy is filled with issues, remind me a single day you both have for each other without any of his PROBLEM". Maria spoke .

"Don't you think he is just using you". Isabella was chought of gourd by Nikkie's asumtence, she never thought something like this before.

" What are you talking about, he isn't like that, beside what i even have to give him except love, he can't use me, he can never", she spoke confidently.

It's part of truth she doesn't have anything to give him and he knew that very well.

"He doesn't love you sincerely Bella ".

" He does ". She don't want to hear anything misleading.

"He does! He is just busy, we talked". Isabella cut Maria off.

She avoids looking at their eyes pouring her a drink, she has always been insecure about Alex. He is cold and aloof, she had her doubt, but that change after time, she know now it's just how he is.

Even tho isabella was one to proposeed him first, he loves her aswell or else why must he accept her proposal.

She really don't want to think anything negetive.

" Guys it's my birthday, why arguing about this, let me enjoy or should I go home?".

She spoke successfully changeing the subject.

"Don't sulk, okey! we are not gonna ask anything about him FOR NOW ", Nikkei strech.

" Help me lighten up my mood". The other seems still releculant to let the topic go.

"Come on guys , he said he will make it up with me on other day", she said.

"He . . he said he will give me a big surprise". Isabella's voice dim on the last lie. She didn't feel good lying to her but she did anyways.

Maria didn't buy isabella's lie. She has known Isabella longer then others, she can tell from lies.

Not wanting to upset her more she convence other.

"Yhh let's go lighten up, our birthday girl is finally her so let's make her forget that fool". Maria spoke exited, dragging them to the dance floor. Isabella sigh, for now she is safe from forther interrogation.

Isabella for now just want forget Alex and enjoy being herself.

They dance like crezy, even if Isabella had difficulty in the long skirt that didn't stop her.

" Guys I'm going to washroom, need to fix myself " Jennie anounce out of breath pointing at her ruined up self.

Others laugh seeing her ghostly appearance.

"Don't laugh, i just sweat a lot , you boring people". She pout before stomping her feel on the ground and going for her washroom hunt.

"If anyone wants to join I'm not gonna stop them". She sang turning around.

"Just say you're scared going alone". Maria tount her.

"Hehe. To many drunk people around, need to save my pure self".

"Overdramatic bi*ch, wait up I'm coming, Maria look after kei". Isabella utter before running behind Jennie.

While Maria drag a wasted up Nikkei on a sitting spot.

Isabella washed her face while Jennie busy herself fixing her makeup. Isabella looked at her, clubbing was never her thing, if not for her friends being a club worm she could never know how clubs looked like from the inside. This kind of places suffocate her .

" Jen, are you done yet". Isabella asked watching Jennie taking forever.

" Just a moment ".

"Come on jen, be fast It's starting to suffocate me here".

"Just tell me what place didn't ever suffocate you", she spoke while taking out a hair curler from her bag.

"Never thought about it".

"Gosh Bella, you're impossible".

"Yahh. Whatever ". Jennie glare at Isabella making her gave Jennie a innocent smile.

"You know what, I'm waiting outside, came when you're done".

"Go go". Jennie shoo her away.

Coming out of the washroom she inhale deeply. Her headache from those loud music gone, she felt relaxed.

"How could people find fun in those things, i wanna go home".

"I can hear you Bella, quiet nagging". Jennie scold from inside.

" Dmn her sharp hearing ability ".

Isabella tap her foot waiting, her eyes roam around the interior. It's eye catching but not peaceful.

She track the weird patterns on the wall trying to make out their meanings.

"I give up", she turned around "Jennie I'm" she stopped mid sentence watching some familiar faces.
