Chapter 2:
Shining brightly in the heart of the city, a pulse reverberating with the constant rush of the nightlife began. Soon enough words filled the air as the people of Hackensack, New Jersey begin to let themselves out. A myriad of voices echoed. Cars then fought to get through, kids chased each other on the pavements. A picturesque scene of New Jersey at night paints out before everyones eyes. And yet, they all know for sure that this is not what the nightlife in New Jersey is. There was more, waiting to be unravelled by human hands, waiting to be unveiled.
Draco Starling sat in his cheap, beat-down car, anxiously waiting for Elizabeth. Drinking the last of his beer, he tossed the can out of the window then thought were the hell is she. Oh my god, this is his car Elizabeth thought with shock when she noticed Draco's car. The paintwork of the car was faded and was different shades in some places. The shot suspension didn't make for a smooth ride, though the car itself Draco promised ran fairly well for a vehicle of its age. The doors made a loud squeak when Elizabeth opened them and then they had to be slammed hard to make them shut properly. Though the car was old, tatty and a little worse for wear, one thing was for sure... it didn't lack character thought Elizabeth.
When Elizabeth leaped into the car, Draco was mesmerized by her radiant beauty. Wow he thought in his head, Elizabeth was like no other girl he had met before. Elizabeth had a good personality, she was kind, sweet with a good sense of humour, and her amazing personality matched her amazing beauty, when Draco first met Elizabeth he expected her to be like every other rich, heiress in New Jersey; a snob but she was nothing like he expected she was better. She had an innocent, angelic face with lively electric blue eyes and long, wavy ash brown hair. Her body was curvy and sexy, she looked stunning in the tight, blood-red dress she was wearing which matched her lucious red lips which Draco desperately wanted to kiss.
I just want to lean over and kiss her, she's adorable. It's a kiss, she won't mind. No she'll think am weird Draco thought before he was interrupted by Elizabeth sweetly asking "You okay"
"Am great, dead excited though" Draco smiled anxiously wanting to kiss her
"Good, good" Elizabeth replied before she suddenly blurted "I've got to tell you something".
Draco looked at the divine beauty with a confused look before he insisted she tell him
"Look it's Tiff, she wasn't goint to make it... until I insisted because she was so upset" Elizabeth began
"So what is she coming?" questioned Draco as he thought I hope she doesn't come
"She's coming, she going to sneak out" Elizabeth responded almost in a whisper
"Seriously, she's going to sneak out. With the helicopters around, I don't think so" joked Draco as he began to pull away from Elizabeth's house
"Stop it, am serious" sternly replied Elizabeth trying her best to laugh before her gorgeous face slackened, her brows furrowed and her eyes darted to her phone in concern checking if Tiffany had been in touch. Staring at Draco, Elizabeth prayed "I hope she's okay" before she asked Draco "can we drive by her house, just to see if she's left already".
"Off course we can" replied Draco.
Driving from the wealthy neighbourhood Elizabeth lived him, they cautiously drove slowly as they entered the neighbourhood Draco lived in which the snobs called "the ghetto of New Jersey". "The ghetto" was a small area which was filled with small, rat-infested trailer parks, littered with dirty rubbish, and smelt of the bitter stench of alchohol. The smell was sickening to everyone except those who lived there, as the people who lived their were most likely alcholics, bikers, prostitutes or those the snobs looked down upon.
Oh god Elizabeth thought as she gagged because of the revolting aroma which surrounded the car, she'd passed through the neighbourhood numerous times but the smell only ever got worse. Draco's handsome face went bright red with embarresment when he noticed the disgust on Elizabeth's face when she stared out the car window, she never judged the people who lived in "the ghetto" but she couldn't help but gag and "eeww" at the smells and horrific sites.
Draco Starling was a handsome stallion, he was a flirtacious stud who couldn't help but attract beautiful girls, to his suprise though his heart had been captured by Elizabeth, a girl he just couldn't win over. With his soot black hair slicked back and his ivy green eyes flashing wildly, he looked smart and handsome in his new designer clothes Elizabeth thought he had bought but didn't know he had snatched them from a wealthy families washing line.
Finally leaving "the ghetto", they entered the neighbourhood were Tiffany lived, they were relieved to smell the fresh air and the wonderful smell of freshly mowed grass. The people like Tiffany's family who owned the mansions in this neighbourhood were socialites, actors and wealthy business men and women. These people dined on fine wines, drank expensive champagnes, wore designer clothes and spent money freely without worry. Even an heiress like Elizabeth was amazed by the surroundings.
Elizabeth stepped from the black car, gaping at the large mansion that set beyond the sidewalk, towering over her as if attempting to intimidate her. The cream coating of the paint shined as the sun beat down on it, causing Elizabeth to have to squint. A uniquely twisted fencing kept the house enclosed, and neatly trimmed hedges surrounded the house. The roof was peaked, slanting down at an angle. The windows had royal purple curtains hanging on the other side of them, drawn so that the sunlight could stream through.
As she stepped onto the sidewalk, Elizabeth noticed a marble fountain sitting towards the right side of the lawn. An angel holding a flower was perched on top, looking up towards the sky. Water spurted from its other hand, which lay gently out in front of it, as if waiting for someone to take it in return. The water fell gently towards the crystal blue pool beneath it, causing ripples to form and wave out until they were no more.
Bushes trimmed into all sorts of animals and people littered the parts of the lawn that was not taken up by the fountain: cats, dogs, rabbits, giraffes, elephants, penguins, birds, snakes...All life-size. The beach lay just beyond the backyard, grass forming into sand, bushes and hedges turning into sand dunes. The water sparkled and dolphins flipped from the water in the distance as Elizabeth walked towards the extravagant house, down the little stone path and around the back to search for Elizabeth's room window.
Finally finding Tiffany's room window, Elizabeth repeatedly called Tiffany's mobile hoping for an answer please don't make me climb up the wall... just to look into the window Elizabeth thought. "Hey 'Liz" answered Tiffany
"Tiff, where are you?" asked Elizabeth worryingly
"Am in my room why?" replied Tiffany
"What your not ready, am outside hurry up and Draco will give us a lift" replied Elizabeth in a serious manner.
"Will be down in a sec" Tiffany replied before she shoved the phone back into her purse and quietly rushed down the stairs, carefully sneaking out of the mansion without causing any suspicious noises or any disruption, Tiffany thought thank god am out of there. Draco sat in his car, tapping his finger rythmatically to the music which blasted from the party taking place a few streets down then thought what the hell is she wearing as he noticed Tiffany stumbling towards his car linking her arm with Elizabeth's.
Tiffany Martin wasn't a girl Draco would like to be seen at a party with, she may have been beautiful with full red lips, hypnotic forest green eyes and a cute face but her beauty was somewhat hidden by the huge-black rimmed glasses which she wore, her lifeless, shoulder-length honey blonde hair, and her skinny body which left her flat chested with a boyish appearance. She was wearing extremely tight jeans and a baggy, over-sized sweat shirt which looked terrible on her almost anorexic frame. It'd take a lot to make that look hot, she's one of the richest bitches I know and she's one of the ugliest, god damn it I almost feel sorry for her thought Draco.
"Hi Draco" happily said Tiffany as she dived into the back seat of the car still worried that her parents may see her and try and catch up with her.
"Heard you sneaked out, has the good girl gone naughty" teased Draco as he carefully kept his eyes on the road a head
"I guess I must be... a naughty girl" giggled Tiffany as she tried to seductively flutter her eyelashes behind her huge black-rimmed glasses.
"We're here" shrieked the three in unison as they parked outside the party. Tiffany's excitement grew to concern as she noticed the waves of wild teenagers that entered the party. Maybe I should of just stayed home thought Tiffany, she was apprehensive and fearful of the people who might be in the party. Tiffany knew that Ryan Doherty who was throwing the party was one of the most popular people in New Jersey, he was infamous for his wild parties which involved sex, drugs and rock n roll. What am I going to do...NO I won't be like this. I can't be like this. I wanted to go to the party, am here and now am going to have fun thought Tiff as she repeatedly whispered to herself "have fun, have fun".
Finally grasping the courage to get out of the car, Tiffany noticed there was beer bottles strewn across the lawn and people were in clusters, either making out or simply talking. A shocking number of people were drunk, they were all stumbling around around, talking to people with their hardly understandable slurred speach. Inside it was roasting hot, everyone was drenched in perspiration, but that didn't stop them from rubbing themselves over eachother as they danced. Tiffany was suprised to see that women with no pride were drunk and getting dragged on top of the tables, being cheered on by strangers to strip and dance. Near enough everyone was doing three things at one; dancing, drinking and taking drugs. Drug dealers were scattered across the dance floor, shuffling threw the crowds offering out freebies to get un-suspecting teenagers hooked and begging for more.
Oh god they're taking drugs Tiffany thought to herself, she was startled to see the age of the people who were happily snorting cocaine, "You want some" she heard a voice calling out to her
"No thanks, I just came here to dance" muttered Tiffany as she found herself worried and feeling threatened by the loud music and shocking actions of the people surrounding her.
"You okay, Tiff" asked Elizabeth as she climbed threw the crowds, Tiffany gave no reply instead she simply stared motionless into the crowd can't she have no fun Elizabeth thought to herself as she grew annoyed. Finally returning to reality Tiffany's eyes began to swell with tears as she announced "I've got to go". As Tiffany went to leave, Elizabeth clutched her hand "Your not going, have some fun. I'm fed up of this Tiff, your my best friend and we hardly spend anytime with eachother unless were trapped inside your house" argued Elizabeth
"Okay, okay I'll stay" she laughed, suprised at Elizabeth's response to her wanting to leave. Elizabeth gave Tiffany a friendly hug as she shouted over the loud music "am going to get you a drink". As Elizabeth disapeared in the crowds she thought better get this girl drunk, so she can really have some fun. Bopping her head backwards and forwards, Tiffany's nervousness and trembling body made her stick out like a sore thumb as she tried her best to find some confidence. Am sixteen and am stuck in a party for drug addicts and wild people, I just want to go. No one even wants to talk to me Tiffany thought as she scanned the room, searching helplessly for Draco, Elizabeth or any familiar face.
Ryan Doherty came bouncing towards Tiffany, a cheerful smile on his face and two bottles of beer in his hands, he had just finished patrolling his party, checking everyone was having fun. Obviously he could tell Tiffany wasn't. "Hey, doesn't look like your having much fun" Ryan observed
"Am having a great time" Tiffany lied as Ryan handed her one of his bottles of beer. Just to show she was polite she had a small sip, she found it disgusting and was desperate to spit it out then rinse her mouth a hundred times with mouthwash. "You don't have to lie, I know you don't really like ti here" acknowledged Ryan
"Look, it's just that I don't really fit in here" admitted Tiffany
"It's okay, just circle the room you know, get to know people. They're not half as bad as they look" Ryan advised her with a comforting smile before he was lost within the clan of drunks surrounding him. Holding her bottle of beer, she wandered around the wall as the party grew louder and louder. "You finished babysitting" asked Draco as he held Elizabeth closely in the middle of the dance floor, Elizabeth didn't reply instead she swung her hips and held his hands tightly as they danced together. She was so divine and attractive, he was craving her kiss and Elizabeth knew it.
Look sexy Elizabeth thought as she danced seductively around Draco, just kiss her man, she's begging for it thought trying to make himself believe he wasn't so desperate. And then he kissed her. It was magic, the way his lips connected with Elizabeth's. It was right, and somehow, among all of the dizziness and the clinging to him like a life line, something inside her changed, never to be reversed. This new feeling could be dwelled upon later, because, for now, she was content to feel his breath come and go with her own.
I done it, and it was as good as I thought it would be Draco thought to himself. As Elizabeth pulled away she smiled flirtaciously then she realised that behind him stood Tiffany. Tiffany's face went slack, her mouth fell slightly open, her body was unmoving, and the color was draining from her face as she stared wide-eyed at her best friend passionately kissing the boy she fancied. "Oh god" gasped Elizabeth as she abandoned Draco and hurried threw the crowd. "Am sorry, please forgive me" pleaded Elizabeth as she held tightly onto Tiffany's arm. Tiffany shot an evil glare at her then cried loudly "I liked him, and you kissed him".
"Look, he likes me not you" replied Elizabeth filled with sorrow
"Yeah cause your pretty" yelled Tiffany before she fell into the crowd and dissapeared. "Tiffany, come back" shouted Tiffany as Draco came to comfort her. How could she do this to me, she knew I liked him Tiffany thought as she quietly wept in a corner. "You okay" she heard a voice say, it was coming from directly behind her. A cold chill shot down her spine until she noticed it was a charming, caring man asking the question.
His cheeks were chiseled like a finely-carved Michelangelo statue. His nose was perfectly symmetrical. His lips were slightly full: the kind that end in a cute little smirk at the corners. The rays of sun coming from the windows highlighted the dimples in his cheeks and chin. His lips looked like they could be as sweet as berries, and his cologne was as strong as midnight sex. His eyes were big blue and daring, almost hypnotic. His hair was long and jet black with glowing streaks of flaming red in it.
"Hi...I'm fine thanks, you know just a bit overwhelmed" explained Tiffany
"Want a ciggarette" kindly asked the man
"You know what, I think I need one, yes please" Tiffany suprisingly replied but still didn't forget to be polite. With the cigarette held firmly between her lips, the man lit it for her with a smirk "what's a girl like you doing here, you know a good looking girl stuck here with a bunch of low-lifes" the man observed. Tiffany was suprised that a man that handsome had called her good-looking, why is he paying so much attention to me thought Tiffany.
"What's your name" suspiciously asked Tiffany
"I'm Charles, and yours" he answered
"Tiffany, am here with a few friends" she pointed out as she nodded to Elizabeth and Draco who were cuddling on a coach in the corner of the room, then she added "well I thought they were my friends".
As she stood smoking and chatting away with her new friend, a cold chill shot down her spine when she heard a piercing screech, turning around she noticed it was her sister Nicole.
Nicole charged towards her, Oh no Tiffany thought as she froze with shock. Grabbing her sister, Nicole dragged Tiffany threw the crowd leaving Charles "maybe I'll see you again" shouted Charles as he watched Tiffany get roared and yelled at by her sister. "We better get you home, or dad's going to kill you" Nicole snapped as she lashed her sister onto the pavement outside the party house then warned her screaming "if I get in trouble I'm going to kill you".
When the two finally got into Nicole's car, their drive back home was silent. I can't believe she sneaked out Nicole thought to herself laughing, that bitch I was finally having a good time thought Tiffany as she stared out of the window.
