It seemed as if hours had passed, as though she had been laying there, crying, for all that time.
'What am I going to do?' she hit the floor with her fist, anger rising within her, 'How could I have done that.....'
And even more of the night flooded back in to her mind, leaving her to feel more guilt and pain.
'knock....knock....knock'
The first guest had arrived. Stella was still in her bedroom getting ready, so Lindsay answered the door for her.
"Hey Flack, come on in!" She pulled the door open more, and presented the place to him.
"You guys did good, it looks pretty amazing in here." He stepped through the doorway, revealing a petite blonde with a smile plastered on her face, as if she didn't know what else to do.
"And, who....is....this?" Lindsay asked, almost not knowing what to say or how to say it.
"Oh," Flack turned, as if he had forgotten she was standing there, "This is Megan, my new girlfriend." He pushed her forward gently, bringing her into Stella's apartment.
Lindsay put out her hand, "Nice to meet you, Megan. I'm Lindsay, and Stella is in the back finishing up getting ready."
Megan shook Lindsay's hand, "Nice to meet you as well!" Her voice was peppy, and a little hi-pitched, but Lindsay knew she'd have to get past that, and be happy for Flack. Whatever it took to get his mind of Jessica.
He shoved her against the wall, pushing against her body more and more. It was as if he had been waiting forever to do this, to be with her.
"Wait...." she turned her head, making him pull back.
"What's wrong?" he questioned, using his hand to guide her face back to him, for eye contact.
"Are you sure about this? About us? Here? Now?" her eyes dropped to the floor.
"Let me show you how sure I am," he kissed her neck, his hands pushing her shirt further and further, revealing more and more skin.
And reality hit once more, tears of joy, but also of sadness, guilt, and pain, not physical, but mental, leaving her body. She needed to get away from here, to go far away and never look back.
But how?
Lindsay led the two in to the living room, "Let me get you two drinks. Any preference?"
Flack spoke up first, "I'll take a beer! Thanks."
And then Megan, "Hmm, wine is good for now!"
Walking in to the kitchen, Lindsay grabbed a beer from the fridge and slid it down the counter just as Flack was walking over.
Grabbing the wine from the floor next to the fridge, Lindsay asked, "Where did she come from?"
Popping the cap on his beer and taking a sip, he answered, "I met her at the bar a few weeks back."
Lindsay gave a nod, not really sure on what else to do.
With luck on her side, Stella finally came out from the back room.
"Hey Flack!" she kissed him on the cheek, her normal greeting for her closest male friends.
"Hey Stell. It looks good in here!"
"Oh, Stella, Flack almost forgot to mention her again, meet Megan!" Lindsay pointed to the woman sitting on the couch.
Stella glanced at her, to Flack, and back to her, "Where did he find this one?"
"For your information," Flack acted all big and bad, "At the bad a few weeks back."
Stella nodded, turning away to hide the laugh that escaped her lips.
And then it came again, a 'knock....knock....knock' at the door.
"Let me get that one!" Stella smiled, heading towards the door.
She stood once again, and cracked the door open. No sign on life was apparent. She glanced to the floor, seeing her clothes thrown all over. Opening the door more, she moved cautiously towards them, picked them up, and ran back to the bathroom.
After changing, she threw her hair into a pony, wiped her tears and smeared make-up away, and cracked the door once more.
Still no sign of movement or noise.
It was all clear, finally a chance to escape.....through the window, and down the stairs.
