Emma's POV:
If sitting on the couch on a long break from college , watching vampire diaries while having a lot of pretzels and m&ms isn't the best thing then i don't know what is.
As an amazing episode of the amazing tv show ended , my roommate Eli and her boyfriend Kyle came thrashing into the apartment in a lip lock causing me to jump on my seat on the couch due to which the m&ms from the bowl in my lap fell.
Kyle pushed her against the counter and they again started making out. This has got to stop i can't watch this , I��ll puke.
"JEEZ GUYS! NOT ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER I'M GONNA GAG FOR GODS�� SAKE, GET A ROOM!" I scolded them which made them look at me and they started laughing .
"Sorry Em, didn't see you there." Kyle apologized smiling sheepishly.
"So Em you up for a party? Me and Kyle are headed for the club. We're gonna get some booze , get drunk and dance the night away. So you up for it?" Eli asked me.
"You are asking like I ever go." I stated rolling my eyes while gathering up the fallen , murdered m&ms.
"Oh come on Em cheer up a bit, don't worry you're still young." Kyle said joking at the end and passing me a wink.
"Yes come on Em. It's gonna be fun besides its summer holidays, no college for 3 months." Eli chirped.
Well they are right it's summer holidays and I should have some fun rather than sitting at home and binge-watching Netflix which sounds so much more appealing than a club but they are right , i need to start socializing and live a little.
Besides this is my second time at a club. I went once when I was 16 with fake ID, I was actually manipulating into it for friendship as a reward , it was basically just to impress some popular girls at school and become friends with them but it didn't end well and i realized that it wasn't really even worth it.
I think i should try out the club experience once more and this time i should do it for myself and not to impress anyone. Plus i am more mature now i think.
"Okay guys, I am up for it." I said after a long self-debate and both of them cheered.
"Eli no way am i wearing this pathetic excuse of a dress!" I said eyeing the red fitted dress that was too short for my liking.
"Em muster up some courage look at it, it's so beautiful and you have a body to kill for than why not show it off a bit." Eli said.
No way was I wearing this bad excuse of clothes, "No I'd rather not go than wearing this." I said looking at the dress with disgust.
"Okay, okay fine don't wear this." Eli said shaking her head in disapproval and again went to dig in the closet.
"Hey look! This is perfect!" She said taking out a black elegant frock styled dress which had a belt at the waist and ended right above the knees. She matched it with my black bow sandals, this is perfect
We reached the club and got into the long cue outside the club. I was nervous as i saw drunk men and women coming out, some crying, some laughing too hard and some making out. What is gonna happen to me in there?
After a long twenty minutes wait i straightened my dress as we got into the club and as expected the place was blaring with music. A poker face remix going on it gave me a strong urge to cover my ears but i restrained myself from doing so.
"So what......" i trailed off when i turned around to see there was no one behind me .
They ditched me ! what am i gonna do now? . I started hyperventilating. I have to compose myself cause the panic isn't gonna solve the case. Ema let��s just go to the bar and have a nice drink, that will help you out .
I decided and walked into the crowd making me towards the bar from in between the pool of sweaty people cursing at me for breaking up there make out sessions even though i said excuse me each time.
On reaching the less crowded bar area I took a seat at the swinging bar stool suppressing myself from swinging on it like an idiot and making a fool out myself.
"Hey beautiful , what would ya like?" the bartender came to me and asked getting too close to my face making me scrunch up my face and lean a bit backwards.
"I would like a mint margarita please" i said backing away from his face.
"No shots ? What's the fun without shots on a Saturday night?" he asked
Hmm... i have never done shots but i hear that it's really fun and i am curious plus i am here to let loose and enjoy myself today so well......
"Okay yea sure I'll have one" i said with a big smile on my face.
"Oh baby girl only one isn't gonna do, you would want more after having one" he said and went to the liquor shelf.
He returned with three small glass and set them down in front of me .
I took the first one and chugged it down like i saw the person sitting next to me do.
It burnt my throat. I didn't like it but it left me wanting more . I looked at the two small glasses in front of me and then looked at the bartender.
"Go on baby girl" he encouraged.
I took the second one and then the third one and chugged them down. As soon as i set the last glass down , my world was spinning.
Those shots took a toll on me and this time i couldn't suppress myself from spinning on the bar stool like a 4-year-old and so i spun like there was no tomorrow.
Next I went towards the dance floor and that's when i started dancing I felt a lot of hands everywhere but i was too lost doing the Oompa Loompa dance. Then I felt someone pulling me with him to the side.
"Yea that's right let it loose babe." That someone said and I saw a blurry face with an evil kind of face with my vision.
The next thing I know is that I am struggling against him to let me go, that was until the guy was punched by some other guy and that's all. My vision started to blur and then it went black.
I knew this was a bad idea .
