Broken
Chapter 10
It had been 3 days since Audrey and I have moved into our college dorm. We haven't done much other than unpack and go out to eat. We've walked around and explored the school once, so we had an idea of where all our classes were going to be. Audrey was right, the school was filled with attractive boys. In fact, there were many of them. But unfortunately, I'd be lying if I said I have stopped thinking of Harry. To be quite honest, he hasn't left my head in over a month. It has been a month since our semi relationship both started, and finished. I sighed as I opened my laptop, bringing up my iTunes. I put my music on shuffle and groaned as Kings Of Leon started playing. Of course. I fell back onto my bed and closed my eyes. It's like I couldn't forget about him no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't even listen to one of my favourite bands without thinking of him now. I opened my eyes as I heard Audrey enter the room.
"There's a frat party tonight.." A smirk took over her lips as she glanced over at me. "It's in a couple hours. We're going."
As much as I wanted to just lay in bed and drown myself in movies, I did want the college experience and starting off the school year with a party could help me socialize. I smiled and nodded my head, as I stood from my bed. I gathered my shampoo, conditioner and razor and made my way into the washroom. I stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the warm shower. I closed my eyes and let the warmth take over my body. I washed my hair and body, stepping out of the shower clean and shaven. I tucked and supported a towel around my body and left the room. I didn't realize how long I was in the water for, until I turned my attention over to Audrey, who was already getting ready.
"What are you going to wear?" I asked her, as I slowly started to apply the makeup that I had scattered in front of my mirror.
"This!" She held up a tight long sleeved black dress, with flats to pair it with.
I finished applying my makeup, leaving my plum coloured lipstick for last. I quickly blow dried my hair, and left my curling iron on to heat while I quickly got changed. I decided to go with a pair of black skinny jeans, a white coloured long sleeved peplum top, and my black leather Jeffery Campbells. My bold lipstick and long brown curls completed the look. I smiled at myself in the mirror before turning to see Audrey filling two shot glasses with straight vodka. I cringed at the sight of it. I was more of a rum and coke kind of girl, but I knew straight shots of vodka would get me drunk much faster. By the time each of us took four shots, I was already feeling the familiar loving mood take over. I was an extremely emotional drunk, to say the least. I loved giving hugs and telling my friends how much I loved them, and I pretty much laughed at almost everything. Well, here goes nothing. I smirked at myself as I tucked my iPhone and room key in the back pocket of my jeans, making my way out the door. After minutes of attempt walking, the two of us finally stumbled our way into the frat house. The sound of loud music took over my ears and the dim lights and strong smell of alcohol took over my vision and scent. I shrugged and soon found myself standing in front of a small keg of beer. I reached over for a plastic cup and let out a small giggle as I tried to figure out how to work the small barrel.
"Need some help?" I heard a deep voice ask.
I looked over and bit my lip, nodding my head eagerly. The boy smiled and took the cup from my hands, easily feeling it with beer all the way up to the rim. He turned around and returned the cup to my hands. I let my eyes explore the strangers face. He was cute. Really cute. He had dark brown, almost black hair, and bright blue eyes. The sound of his voice broke me from my daze.
"I'm Seth." The boy smiled.
I returned the smile and stuck out my hand. "I'm Emma.." I quickly brought my hand back as I realized I was at a college frat party, not a dinner party where we greet others with handshakes. I shook my head and laughed to myself, bringing my hand up to my mouth to shut myself up. I must have looked insane.
"I'm sorry.." I replaced my hand with the rim of my red cup. He flashed me a perfect smile, taking a sip from his own.
"Nah, I think it's cute.." He said in a low voice, as he made his way closer to me.
I didn't think twice as I made my way around the corner, giving him an apologetic smile. He was cute, but I wasn't in the mood for a hook up. The next place I found myself was in the bathroom, sitting on the edge of the bathtub. I pulled my phone from my back pocket and let a small smile form on my lips. I unlocked my phone and debated on calling the one boy who wouldn't leave my mind. Harry. I mean, why not? It wouldn't hurt. I mean, I am drunk...
I was just about to hit call when realization hit me. No, I told myself. I don't want to make myself look weak. It's been one whole month and he hasn't tried contacting me. I kept repeating that in my head until I slid my phone back into my pocket. I stood and quickly fixed myself before exiting the washroom, making my way to the front door. I did a double take when I realized it was Audrey that I had passed by, who had her tongue down a familiar looking guy's face. Seth. I laughed and shook my head as I made my way out the door, stumbling over my own feet every few minutes. I had absolutely no idea which way would lead me back to my dorm, but the thought didn't stop my drunken mind from walking. It was dark and cold outside. I looked down at my phone and read "1:24AM." It was a little too late to be walking by myself at this time of night, but I just shrugged and wrapped both of my arms around myself and started to walk faster. I heard the low sound of a car quietly following behind me, noticing the headlights shine alongside my shadow. The alcohol started to drain from my body as I felt fear take over.
"Emma... is that you?"
My heart stopped and I immediately froze when I heard that one voice I was sure I'd never hear again.
On yes I so wann hear the phone call love this story
