Liv had a car which her parents had gifted to her when she was sixteen and since then she had been using it. It has being over five years now and the car had visible signs of being old. But it was still a nice little black car.
"When are we going to reach?" I asked. It had been over half an hour and we were still driving through the New York roads to reach to her friend, Wilma's place.
"Are you so excited that you can't wait to reach there?"
"You wish."
She rolled her eyes. "We're almost there." Liv replied, excitement evident in her tone. What a party animal.
She pulled up in front of a large mansion with high walls surrounding it and a black intricately designed gate which had two men in black on either side of it.
Liv unbuckled her seatbelt and glanced at me. I still had my seat belt on.
"Why aren't you getting out?" She asked while smoothing out the corners of her dress which perfectly fit her. Her dress on me was a bit big but st
"Do you need anything, miss?" I heard a voice behind me and turned towards the source. I saw a young man dressed as a waiter looking at me. He was probably the one who asked me."A glass of water would be fine," I told him. He raised his eyebrows at this probably wondering why I wasn't having a drink at this party like the other people."Are you okay?" He asked as he filled a glass with water."Yeah. What time is it?" I asked.He looked at his wrist watch for a second and looked back up at me. "It's almost ten," He said and extended his hand towards me, holding the glass of water. I took it from him."Do you know where Wilma could be?" I asked him, not sure whether he knew or not."She must be somewhere here. It's her birthday and cake cutting is yet to take place in a few minutes so she must be somewhere around here. Is she your friend?""No. She's my friend's friend. She's Olivia's friend, I mean.""Oh," He said shrugging. "I
I went to the bathroom but there was no one.I was about to leave when I heard some abnormal noises and I knew it was Olivia."Olivia?"I heard a low groan from inside. I knocked on the door again."Olivia? You there?"Nobody replied, instead I heard the toilet being flushed and the door cracked open. I immediately stepped back. Olivia tumbled out of the toilet.I caught her before she could face plant herself on the floor."Jelly!" She shouted in my ear and I cringed at her loud voice."Don't shout. And my name is Julie, not Jelly."I put her one arm around my neck and helped her out of the toilet."Where were you, July? I missed you a lot!" She said, clearly ignoring what I said to not shout. Her mouth reeked of alcohol and I stopped breathing for a while. "You know I played this dare and truth with Wimla. And I got this naughty dare to kiss a guy. And I enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyed it! Wimla was..."Before she cou
We were in such a horrible situation where I doubted we'd even be able to reach home and she was more concerned about the five inch devils."Olivia, shut up. Take those damn heels off."When she made no effort to take them off, I glared at her. "I'll let go of you. And maybe even leave you here alone. You don't want that, do you?"We both knew I was not going to do such a thing but it was worth a try."Idiot." She murmured as she bent down and took it off and carried it in her hands. If I would have been her, I would have chucked them in a bin.I saw the red lines on her feet. "Why do you wear them if they are so painful and uncomfortable?""I love them. And I don't have many heels. And they also make me look tall and sexy." She clutched her stomach."Are you okay?" I asked her.She immediately let go of my hand and ran towards the washroom. I followed her and saw her puking her guts out in the toilet. Ew.I looked
"Julie," I heard someone whisper to me. I stirred a bit before losing myself to sleep in the silence."Julie!" This time the voice was a bit louder.I opened my eyes slowly. I didn't see anything. It was dark. Or maybe I still had my eyes closed. I opened them furiously, widening them till they were the shape of saucers."Julie," I heard the same voice coming from beside me. I turned my head towards my left.There she was. Olivia."Hey Olivia. What're you doing here?" I asked, smiling a bit at her, my eyes wanting to close shut for forever.She gave me a disbelieving look."Did they hit you on your head?""What?" I asked."We're kidnapped!""Wait, what?!"I looked around, the previous day flooding in my awareness.I was in a room. Thank God Olivia was with me at least.The room was big and it was dark. I could hardly see anything. I could make out a bed in front of me and the windows were clos
I jumped out of bed too and sprang to the door when I felt her hand wrap around my wrist and pull me back."Julie, wait."I yanked my hand out of her grasp and sprinted towards the door. I tried to open it but it was closed."Shit!" I looked back at Olivia and she ran to me. She began pulling me back to bed."What're you doing?! We have to get the hell out of here!" I yelled at her.What did they do to her? Or did they hit her on the head for her to loose common sense?"Julie I know you are scared but please calm down. I'll explain everything. It's-""Shut up!" I cut her off. "Just shut the hell up! Olivia have you gone mad?""Julie, enough. You're overreacting. You're safe.""Go to hell! If you want to die here, it's fine with me. But I don't want to die, thank you so much, so bye."Before I reached the door, I heard itshandle turn slowly but silently.The door was quickly yanked open and a big man with a
"Julie, come on," The woman said to me.Before I could protest, she linked her arm with mine and dragged me inside the hall. As I had described before, the hall was really big and beautiful. Everything in it was color coordinated in white and gold. It looked elegant."Mrs. Jenson! I think it will be best if I talk to Julie-t for a bit," Olivia said, stepping towards me. My eyes narrowed at Olivia when she called me Juliet.The woman, Mrs. Jenson smiled at Olivia and nodded, "Sure.""Thanks," She said and took a hold of my arm and led me to the same room in which I woke up. I was about to ask her what was going on but she gave me a look that instantly told me to shut up. I decided to obey her.As I entered the room, Olivia shut the door behind her."Sit," She said and I walked over to the queen sized bed and sat on the edge. Olivia handed me a glass of water and sat beside me. I drank the water, realizing just how thirsty I was. I put the gla
"Julie, say 'dad'," I heard Olivia whisper in my ear from behind."D-Dad?" I stammered. I just hoped that was what Juliet's relationship was with that bald man.His eyes softened and he walked over to me before gently pulling me in his embrace. I was shocked at first, but I soon hugged him back lightly, now sure that he was Juliet's dad. It was a bit awkward because I just met him for the first time and I just didn't hug anybody. He pulled away a little, only to place a soft kiss on my temple."Juliet, why did you leave us?" His voice broke in the end. "Why did you do that? I spent nearly two years finding you! I never found you. Until now," He said, pulling me in a tighter embrace.My eyes widened at that. He had not seen his daughter for the last two years! I swallowed hard. He has still not met his daughter yet. I was not his daughter. I felt a pang of guilt hit my chest. What I was doing was wrong.I felt another pair of arms wrap around me and
"What's up?" Olivia asked as she made her way to the fluffy bed and flopped on it, bouncing slightly on it. "Ah," she moaned. "It feels like I'm on top of the clouds," She said, closing her eyes and sighing contentedly."Olivia! Shut up. We have to get out of here," I said as I skipped towards her. Her eyes shot open and she gave me a puzzled look."Why?" she asked. "It's so nice here," she gave me a sly grin, "Juliet."I groaned. "I'm not Juliet! Don't call me that for God's sake!"Olivia sat up on the bed, eyeing the door from which we came in from. She took my hands in hers, focusing her gaze on me. "Look Julie, I know you're not Juliet. You know you're not Juliet. Except for us two, nobody knows you're not Juliet.""So?" I asked, even though I knew where exactly she was going with with this.She just looked at me like I've grown three heads. "Don't you know what this means? Do you even know who the Jenson's are?"I scrunched up my
