Stage One, Chapter 2
"You distract yourself with parties and friends. You drink alcohol until you can't remember your name and dance under streetlights with boys you just met."

3rd Person's POV
"I need a distraction."
Lucy's desperate. She needs something to keep her mind of him. His betrayal.
Her best friend, Cana Alberona, gazes at her, thinking. She suddenly snaps her fingers.
"Party at the bar. Tonight. You in?"
Cana smirks fearlessly at her friend, daring her to accept. Without a second thought, Lucy says, "Yeah."
~.~
The two are at Cana's house, prepping for tonight's party. The party girl is rummaging through her closet, looking for something for her friend to wear. She's already dressed in a slinky, short blue dress that shows off her chest and hugs her curves in all the right ways. On her feet are bright blue heels.
"Here!"
She thrusts a low cut, sexy and short black dress at her friend. Lucy gingerly takes hold of the dress. It shimmers in the bright light of Cana's room.
"Thanks," she says, before stripping.

"Here!"
Cana passes Lucy a glass of vodka.
"Drink up Luce!" she laughs.
Around them, the party is pumping and at full blast. Girls and boys alike are grinding, people are laughing, and the DJ isn't stopping. The dim lights of the room make the dresses shimmer and glow.
Lucy grabs the glass and chugs it all in one go. Distraction. That's what I need, she thinks as she slides the glass across the counter and swipes another off a nearby tray.
"Damn Lucy!" Cana shouts over the music. "You sure this is your first time?!"
Lucy doesn't answer; instead she's already chugging her third glass. She's drinking until she doesn't know her own name. She doesn't know what she was drinking and she doesn't care. She just needs a distraction. She just needs to forget.
~.~
The night passes by in a blur. Cana had run up to the upper levels of the bar with some guy and slammed the door. Noises had been coming from the room ever since, but the music drowns it out. Not that Lucy knew. She's drunk.
She's chatting with strangers and flirting with boys. Her heels are gone. Her feet are red and sore from dancing, but she doesn't notice.
A girl and boy drag her outside. It's dark and the street is dimly lit with street lights. The stars faintly twinkle above. The concrete is slightly damp, as if it had rained hours ago. The music carries out from inside and Lucy's dancing now. A boy takes her by the hand they're spinning on the sidewalk. Another girl runs out the door and joins them, more drinks in hand. It's a wonder she doesn't fall. Lucy grabs another drink and chugs it. Because all she wants is to forget.
Yay! Another update! I hope you guys enjoyed! So please, review, favorite, and follow (RRFF)! Really makes my day :D Until next time!
