Friday party

Diane

I jump around the living room excitedly, practicing some funny dancing styles. After four working days, Mrs. Hopper finally signed the resignation letters. The expression on her face when she gave me the letter almost made me burst out in laughter. She is something else. Avery walks in with a surprised look. 

"Mrs hopper signed the resignation letter" I announce and practice another style.

"Woooaaahhh that's fantastic. Perfect timing. I've got a party to attend. Seth's best friend is celebrating his birthday. You are coming with me to celebrate this good news and the new job" she joins me in dancing and I stop with a scowl.

There is no way in hell Diane Biggins is going to a fucking night party. My mom is going to kill me if she finds out. Yeh, she could never find out except I want her to know…. Damn it I promised Diane I would attend a party to celebrate my new job and now that I got out of my old job, she has so many reasons to get my butts out of this house. I'm so screwed.

In a few minutes, I'm in front of Avery's full-length mirror staring at my image in a red aesthetic tube Dress exposing too much of my cleavage. I pick up a black veil and put it on my shoulder. It looks stupid with the bubble sleeve hanging just on my shoulders and Avery throws it off. She drags me from the mirror and applies light makeup on my face. And ties my hair into a simple ponytail with fucking designs at the front.

She is wearing a two-piece black strapless gown and a small cardigan with a white handbag and heels.

She gets me a handbag and white stiletto sandals which may get my butt on the floor, so I slip my fluffy slippers into my bag, just in case.

There is a beep on her phone and she giggles. "Great, our ride is here" she drags my arm excitedly and pushes me out.

A back Lamborghini and a blue Maserati are parked outside and I open my mouth in awe. Avery did hit a jackpot. The Maserati driver's door opens and a fine young man comes out. He is in back trousers and a Blue shirt with flowers designed on it. I look at his face. This. This is Danny's friend. The cutie from the restaurant. Before I can open my mouth to speak Danny steps out from the Lamborghini. He is shocked to see me.

"You?" Danny and Andrew chorus in unison.

"Woaaa, you guys know each other?" Avery asks

"Yeah, Diane I think. We've met her before in a restaurant, and she and Danny are good friends" Andrew chirps. Friends? Good friends?

"Great. Happy birthday once again Andrew, let's get going before the party ends. I'll take a ride with you, the other good friends can ride together" Avery giggles and hops in Andrew's car. Andrew steps in and zooms off.

Why is Avery acting like she is trying to iron things out between Danny and me when she doesn't even know we are familiar with each other?

I glare at Danny and step into the front seat of his car. He hops in and zooms off. The ride is silent until Danny breaks the silence with a cough.

"I'll drive you back home after the party to get back my shirt," He says quietly.

"That's a stupid excuse to drive me back home, you should have just told me to go back inside and bring back the shirt" 

He huffs and stops the car at the side of the road. 

"Great idea. Get out of my car and go get the shirt then" He smiles warmly.

"Not now fucker, you could have said that earlier" I turn my gaze to him and he continues moving the car. The silence resumes till the car halts at the front of a club I assume. I step out of the car and walk into the entrance. 

A guy looking like the security stops me and asks for my invitation and I'm stalked. Why would Avery leave me with this fucker since she knows this party is based on the invitation? 

Danny suddenly drags my arm and says to the security guy "She is with me" and the guy nods, while we walk in. The place is just as I have always imagined a club would be only, this one looks more expensive than I've ever imagined. Danny lets go of my hand and walk away. I spot Avery and rush to her.

"You finally made it here," Andrew says with a smile.

"Happy Birthday" I smile warmly. He shouldn't expect a gift from someone he barely knows right? Well, except for his fans. Owning a five stars hotel alone she gets him a lot of fans.

"Thank you very much" 

Avery gives me a glass, which I can't decipher what its content is like. I take the glass from her and turn the entire content in my mouth. The content tastes good and makes me crave more.

"Another glass" I request and Avery gives me another and I gulp it all again. My eyes begin to feel heavy and the entire place now looks different.

"Please where is the restroom?" I ask and Avery points her hand straight. She already looks tipsy.

I place my hand in my temples as I walk down the place and close my eyes for a few seconds as I appear at the restroom.

My legs bend slightly and I am almost slipping when a hand catches me. I was right when I said I'm going to fall off this stiletto. 

I raise my head and it's Danny again. He helps me stand straight and lets go of my arm. He takes a step and holds me again when I'm about to fall again.

"You look hot" he comments and holds my arm firmly after helping me stand again. 

He pins me to the wall and smiles.

"What the hell are you thinking?" I scold quietly.

"I'm thinking of you, just a night Diane I'll give you anything you desire," he says. He is drunk. He didn't even kiss me the other day because he said I'm not his type and now this.

"You are drunk Danny so….." He cuts me off with a kiss.

His soft lips brush mine, his mouth is warm. He goes slowly until I kiss him back and fiddle with his mouth. I place my tongue in his mouth and the intimacy continues. He grabs my ass and even though I feel uncomfortable I don't want him to stop. 

My phone vibrates from my bag and I withdraw, regaining my senses. I scurry into the restroom to answer. It's mom calling.

"Hello mama" 

"Hello, Diane, it's me, Anna, mama has been rushed to the hospital, she is sick" Anna's voice is shaking. Her words send cold shivers down my spine. Mama's illness is here again.

"Is it the city hospital?" I ask and she replies positively. I put the heels in my handbag and slip my 

Fluffy slippers on.

I run out of the restroom and meet Danny outside with his thumb on his lips. His lips are stained with my lipstick. I ignore him after a glance and run off.

….

"The doctor says you should come to see him when you get here" Anna informs me after pleasantries. Mom looks pale on the bed. A part of me is glad she is unconscious because she would have slapped me over this dress I'm wearing.

I walk into the doctor's office and take a seat. The doctor looks strangely at me with questioning eyes.

"I'm Jane Edward's daughter," I say hoping he remembers mom's name.

"Ohh, okay. Just have a few questions for you miss" he turns his gaze from his laptop and focuses on me.

"Has your mom ever been so sick?"

"Not so sick, but she frequently gets sick. At least five times a year and she always ends up in the hospital, my dad never told us what's wrong with her and she never says" I explain.

The doctor gives me a worried look and says.

"Your mom has a brain tumor and the tumor is malignant and needs to be operated on soon".
