"Hey girls". Charlotte smiled as we got in the car.

A chorus of hi's and heys went around the car. My stomach was in knots. The car ride was silent and I was grateful. I felt a little awkward and I had no idea why. I liked his mom but I knew she was aware of the situation. She knew everything.

Scrolling through Facebook I smiled when I saw the tagged photo. Hitting the love heart I saved the picture to my phone. I was glad I met these girls. They made living here a whole lot better.

I was too busy playing on my phone that I didn't notice we had stopped. Looking out the window the first thing I noticed was how long the queue to get in was.

"Okay girls have fun but please be responsible". Charlotte said. "Oh and Leah are you available to come to dinner tomorrow?".

Dammit! I couldn't say no to Charlotte.

"Sure". I smiled putting my phone in my bag.

"Great I'll see you at 6".

As we all got out the car we waved as she drove away. The music was blaring, I could feel the vibrations through my feet and that was from the sidewalk.

"Please do not tell me we have to wait in that line to get in?". Lana groaned.

"No line". Alanna winked taking a hold of my hand and lacing our fingers together. "I can hear how fast your hearts beating, relax". She whispered.

I was anxious and nervous. I had that dreaded feeling in my stomach. What if he was in here with a girl in his lap?

Lacey and Lana had already disappeared inside.

"I'm fine". I smiled taking a deep breath. As we approached the front of the line the bouncer placed his arm out in front of us.

"This is for you little lady". Holding in his hand was a black card.

"No that's not-..."

"Boss mans orders". Placing the card in my hand he unhooked the red rope letting us in.

"Come on". Alanna laughed pulling us through the door.

Slipping the black card into my bag I had no intention of using it. I didn't need for him to buy me anything. I paid my own way always had.

The music was blaring, everyone dancing, the vibe and buzz was unreal in here tonight.

"Promise me one thing?". Alanna yelled as we approached the bar.

"What's that?".
