Prologue
It's a slow process. Slowly burning. I'm sitting here, watching them, pretending to be interested in the drinks in front of me and the game sounding on the overhead flat screen. It's eating me up. My heart. I have that dull ache in my chest that just won't subside. It feels like my heart was dipped in acid and it's slowly being eaten away. It hurts. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. I'm just sitting here watching them hang all over him. And worse, he's not objecting. If anything, he's giving them the attention they want, and they're eating it up. Just like my heart.
I should look away, but I can't. I'm more interested in which one he'll give into and take home. There's three brunettes and two blondes. Maybe he'll take more than one home. I've heard stories. This wouldn't be the first time. Sometimes you just hope that those 'stories' aren't true. Actually I hope most of the stories I have heard about him aren't true.
One of the brunettes walks past me to the bathroom. Short dress, chunky heels, hair that is way too long - longer than other pieces of her hair - to know that it's fake, sweaty, smeared mascara; wrong. The other four are standing around him. He's got a brunette glued to his right and a blonde, who is semi-decent, stuck to his left. They are both looking up at him. They're all giggling and doe-eyed at his every word. All of them hoping they will be the one who gets to sleep in his bed tonight, smell his pillows, snuggle in his sheets. Just a little part, only a tiny part of me wishes that I could be one of them. Just to know what it's like. Just one time. But that's all it would ever be. A one-time thing. I don't want that. I want more than that. I want a life-time.
Forever.
A/N: So… this is my first try EVER at writing anything, really. I've been thinking of writing something for almost a year now and I've finally gotten the courage to do it. As of late I do not have a Beta. I just wrote this last night and really wanted to post it. I went through it as best I could. Sorry if there's some errors. I'm looking for someone who can make my words look good together.
I can't give you a definite posting schedule since I'm just getting started and I just write whenever it comes. I promise it won't be too long between updates. J
Reviews would be awesome. I would really like to know what you all think. All I've ever heard from my Lit teacher was pretty much that I SUCK at writing.
Thanks for reading!
