A Girl’s Diary novel Chapter 29

We went down a step. Two steps. Three steps. But then, my legs decided to give out making me fall and twist my ankles in the process. 

"Aww..." I moaned loudly. It hurt so bad! Ron looked at me, facepalming. 

"How did you manage to fall after three seconds?" He asked cocking his head to the side. I just shrugged and grinned at him. 

I had an idea! 

A good one too... 

"Carry me," I demanded. My voice sounding a bit childish and whiny. He raised a brow and shrugged turning around. He was leaving? "Ron, if you leave me here, I'll cry." That was the best I could come up with? This drunken state was really playing with my mind. Might as well perfect this act. I jutted my lower lip out and reached my arms to him. 

He looked at me and sighed heavily. Returning back. Who was the perfect actress now? 

Me! 

"Hold tight." He said carrying me on his back. "If you fall, I'm leaving you behind." He got up. And damn, I felt his back muscles flex against my front. I was so tempted to touch them but I, unfortunately, couldn't do that without falling! I decided to just enjoy what I could get for now! "Damn, you're so heavy," Ron said, out of nowhere. 

"Dude I have a model's body," I said sternly. 

"You mean you wish you did." If that was how he was going to play then let's play! 

"Maybe your nonexistent muscles can't just handle it." I shot back. The best way to tease boys was insulting the amount of time they spent working out! 

"Oh, believe me, they can. But carrying someone that heavy is just pure torture." What?! 

"Let me down," I demanded. I was going to punch him into his senses. 

"No, I'm saving us time; you'll only slow us down, I'm doing you a favour." He said adjusting his grip on my legs. 

"I work out four times a week. My body is perfect. I'm perfect." I ranted. 

"If it helps you sleep the night." I heard him murmur. That guy was the walking dead by now. 

He walked a bit through the dark streets towards a small park. I was so overcome by joy from seeing the park. I so wanted to play. 

Subconsciously, I started singing. 

Every single kids' song 

Ron's only response was chuckling now and then but no matter how much I egged him on, he never joined me. 

"As much as I love your songs, my ears are kinda tired of being screamed in." He huffed. 

"Twinkle twinkle-" I started again. 

"Elena!" He put me down making me pout. I blinked giving him puppy eyes with a jutted lip. "You're such a drunk kid." 

"I did not," I said sternly making him laugh. 

"Sorry sorry." He sighed. "Where are you staying?" 

"In a hotel!" I chirped, clapping my hands. 

"But where?" 

"In a street?" I answered unsure of anything. 

"And that street is called?" He looked at me expectantly. 

"A name?" He facepalmed making me giggle loudly like a schoolgirl. 

My mind then drifted to another thought, I wanted to sit on the grass. It looked so shiny! Instantly I dropped on the ground petting the grass around me. 

"What exactly are you doing?" He asked amusement on his face. 

I looked around trailing the grass until the patch stopped beside me. Realization hit me. 

I was choking the grass! 

I stood up abruptly my eyes glistening with tears. 

I killed it. 

"I is so sorry," I whispered to the grass. 

"Why are you crying?" Bewilderment in his eyes. 

"I killed the grass." I sniffed. His eyes widened but he held back his snort. 

"You didn't. It's still alive, see." I looked down. Well, it was still green. Me wasn't a murderer! "Now, give me your phone, Shana." I shook my head. Sky thought I would call an Uber if I had my phone so she made me leave it at the hotel, ruining every escape plan. Damn, I didn't even have money! "You don't have it?" I nodded. "Skyler isn't even answering her phone." He groaned. "Now what?" He asked more to himself. 

"Now, we play!" I exclaimed. Running away. Chasing little birds around and around. 

"Shana, come back here." I heard him shout but I wasn't stopping. I kept running in circles and twirling until I was dizzy. "Gotcha!" I felt him catch me before I fell. "Let's go now," I mumbled an okay and felt my eyelids getting heavier as I leaned into him. Drifting into a deep sleep. 

My eyes fluttered open. 

Where was I? 

What happened? 

I looked around to find myself in some bed. That wasn't my hotel room. I got out of bed just to feel a throbbing pain in my head. I groaned and sat again on the bed. The door at the end of the room was opening slowly... Did I get kidnapped? OMG! 

"Shana, did you wake up?" Ron said peaking his head from the door. 

"Eli, answer this." Sky said putting her phone on my ear. 

"Hi, sweetie." Mom? Huh? "I heard about the party. I know you don't like them but why don't you try. For me?" 

"No can do, mother," I replied. 

"Okay, I guess I'll just go with Cody since you don't like partying, you know?" No! She wouldn't. "I mean they're all actors, right? it wouldn't matter if it's your celebrity crush or just Cody." 

"I'm going!" I blurted. Dammit! 

"Okay." She giggled. 

That was low, dear mother! 

"I hate you, Skyler," I said. My voice muffled since I was still buried in bed. 

"I know you love me. Plus, you'll thank me later." She chirped. "Now get up and put that body in this dress." I peaked a look. She called that a dress? It would cover no shit! 

"You're this close" I pinched my fingers together "to be fired out of my best friend duties" I threatened. 

"Tsk Tsk, you won't find anyone cooler than me." She shot back. 

"I'm not wearing it." 

"Okay! But you have to at least kiss one of these boys." What? Frozen at her words, I sighed. I had no reply to that. "Have I ever given you bad advice?" She pressed on. I snorted and plopped back on the bed. 

"Do you actually want me to answer that?" I kept giggling with an occasional snort. She glared at me. 

I rolled my eyes at her once I calmed down, got out of bed, put on black leather pants with a sleeveless top. I wasn't about to wear a dress really. And I also wasn't about to let Sky choose any sort of clothing to me. 

Ever. 

We went to the rooftop where they were having their little party. So freaking full. Seniors from our school and even people, I had no idea who they were, were dancing and grinding against each other. 

The only thing left to make this worse was Louis appearing. 

I wanted to barf! 

"Hey, Elena. Sky." Louis said approaching us. Speak of the devil! 

"Oh! Just the person I wanted. Elena needs a dance partner." Sky said making Louis grin. Damn her. 

"Shall we?" Louis asked offering me his hand. 

This is a nightmare!
