The club was playing my favourite song - Tonight I'm Lovin' You. For parties, I always go for Enrique Iglesias. But tonight, I wasn't enjoying my red wine and certainly not the song. The crowd was insane tonight. But it didn't matter where I was. That thing... was still there. That scared little girl, bullied and taken for granted.

Over the time I have turned myself into this arrogant and bossy person. Even my face says buzz off faster than my mouth can. I have my reasons though. Being vulnerable, is the last thing I want for myself. And this drink, has always helped me to gulp my insecurities down. Being the eldest child, had its own perks. I was always asked to be strong even when I did not want to.

Fake it till you make it... right?

It was probably my third glass, when I felt a hand crawling on my back. I turned around impulsively and hit my molester. Well, surprisingly it was my poor bestie pouting at me and rubbing her nose like a child. I wanted to laugh at her but I couldn't. She survived my punch... she can survive anything.

"I am sorry. I didn't saw you coming." I gasped.

"It's fine. Getting your attention was hurtful though. You are spacing out a lot these days." she said. Samantha is my bestie, also my part-time-mom stated.

"It's just work you know. Let's go. I will drop you home. You have appointments tomorrow?" I asked.

She nodded but didn't say anything. I knew she was bothered about me. But there are things which I can't share. Not even with her. After all, her brother is my fiancé. Well, soon to be ex-fiancé. Standing up from my seat, I passed my card to the bartender.

"Good night girlie, see you soon?"

He will see me sooner than he thinks. He is a nice company to keep, gives a regular rub to my ego.

"Good night Chang. And yes, you will see me soon. You know that. Thanks man." After giving him a half hug over the table, we exited the floor. We got company at gates, the club bouncers.

She breathed and went back to her phone, continuing her conversation with someone who was more important than me. After ordering, I light my cigarette and took a long drag.
