Few Minutes Earlier....
'I never meant to hurt her' Scott sighed 'I guess I was lying to myself all this time. I kept thinking 'you love Autumn and no one else' but I couldn't believe in that myself'
'I understand' I told him, my hands massaging his neck 'You tried'
'I guess I did' He nodded, his head tilted to the side a bit 'This feels really good'
'I told you' I laughed 'I give the best massages in the world'
'Ritch must be a very lucky guy' Scott said quietly. I stopped whatever I was doing, I haven't thought about Ritch since I saw Scott in the hallway. Worst of all I totally forgot about the club.
'Amanda?' Scott called out softly. I couldn't explain what took over me, my hands wondered to his face. I could feel his body tense up a bit then he turned around, looking at me with those beautiful crystal blue eyes. I could be lost in them so quickly. My hands dropped to the sides as we looked at each other. For a split second I realized why Autumn wanted to keep him all to herself. I leaned in closer, forgetting everything around me. I closed my eyes shut and quickly after felt his lips on mine. Short but an unforgettable kiss. We pulled away and stared at each other confused and dazed. A soft shriek came suddenly from the door. Both of our heads jerked towards one direction.
'Autumn' I gasped 'I-I...'
Scott jumped off the bed, he looked as if he was about to run over to her and apologize but suddenly stopped, he took few steps back and sat back down on the bed.
'How could you?' Autumn choked on her words as she stepped in 'My best friend, the one I trust most'
'Autumn...' I pleaded.
'Autumn' Scott said sternly 'What happened here is none of your buisness'
Autumn's gaze turned to Scott, she stared at him coldly and lifelessly, suddenly tears began streaming down her face. Her hand rose, pointing at Scott.
'One day' She whispered 'You'll look at me the way I looked at you, one day you'll like me the way I liked you. One day Scott! You'll love me the way I loved you' Her hand dropped to the side 'One day you'll want me but I won't want you'
She turned to me and shook her head as if she was regreting ever knowing me
'What about Ritch?' She murmured before leaving. I dropped on the bed and sighed. She was right, what about Ritch?
'I'm a beautiful butterfly!' Becky shouted as she danced around me like a ballerina 'I spread love and joy, won't you come and join me?'
I shook my head at her, could she possibly be any more drunk?
'Liz come and dance with me' J whined, pulling my hand.
'I have to watch Becky' I told him. J exhaled loudly, he looked over at Becky who was climbing the table.
'Sean will watch her' He said, tugging Sean towards me 'Right mate'
'Uhh' Sean looked around desperately 'Uhh'
'That's a yes!' J stomped his foot down and dragged me onto the dance floor.
I gulped my drink down and sighed. I was out of excuses for Abs and he was coming back again. The truth was that I didn't want to dance, I didn't even want to be in the same club right now. I kept wondering why Scott and Autumn didn't come.
They couldn't be shagging... Scott would let her have him. So what else could be keeping them.
'Another drink?' the waiter asked. I nodded quickly. For some reason I couldn't get drunk, maybe all this thinking prevented me for doing so.
'Melanie, you're not planning to sit here all night?' Becky elbowed me, she hardly stood straight on her feet. I looked at her in admiration, why couldn't I be piss drunk and forget about all the troubles.
'You have to dance!' She yelled and proceeded to do some kind of a dance.
Sean appeared by her side, half drunk himself.
'Come on Beck' He tugged her away from me.
'My name is Becky!' She yelled, squirming away from him 'Not Beck! I'm not that weirdo singer!'
She suddenly broke into hysterical laughter, so loudly that sets of eyes glanced at her. She ignored them completely, instead she jumped at Sean who caught her gracefully in his arms.
'Look Mel!' She yelled 'We're off for our honeymoon!'
I raised my glass at them as a toast and gulped it down.
'Lets go' Sean said and took Becky out of my sight. I turned back to a bar when someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around to face an unfamiliar face. The next thing I knew there was a handing coming towards me and in a matter of seconds I was lying on the floor with a nose bleed.
I raced out the room and down the hallway. The elevator door closed in my face. I turned back seeing that no one was following me. I couldn't just stand there.
I noticed the emergency stairs near by and quickly ran through them. I reached my floor and ran for the room. I had Ritch's mobile number stored somewhere. I can just call him up and tell him what I saw. That would be perfect. I rummaged through my personal organizer finally coming upon a little piece of paper. There it was, I stared down at it blankly. Was it all worth it? Rat on Amanda and get personal satisfaction for 2 seconds. I sighed heavily and sat down on the bed still deciding.
'Autumn' Amanda stepped in cautiously 'Can I talk to you?'
'I don't want your explanation' I told her 'I'm tired of hearing excuses'
Amanda took few steps inside, she noticed the paper I was holding, her expression turned desperate.
'You're going to tell Ritch aren't you...'
'Give me one good reason why I shouldn't' I asked with a shrug.
'Cause what happened there with Scott was nothing!' She exclaimed hopelessly.
'I can't lose my relationship with Ritch!'
'You should have thought about that before you kissed him'
'Autumn' She said quietly, taking one more step towards me 'I know how you feel about Scott. I feel the same way towards Ritch. I know how it feels when you love someone so much and they don't feel the same way. You have to understand that what you'll do right now will effect us all'
I narrowed my eyes at her, she smiled weakly as if she knew she had won. I folded the paper and stuffed it in my jeans.
'You're just as fake as Melanie' I mumbled 'You both hide behind lies, you lie to yourself Amanda! Tell me truthfully....do you have feelings for Scott?'
Amanda stood motionless by the bed. She didn't blink once, she stared at the space like a ghost.
'I thought so' I whispered 'Amanda I'll give you a deal, you either forget about Scott and tell Ritch what happened and await his mercy or you'll just tell Ritch what happened and what you feel for Scott then await what happens'
'I'll lose either way!' Amanda yelled 'Autumn why are you being so cold! Don't you have a heart!'
'Not for people like you' I grumped.
