The past few months have been definitely… eventful. But being back in Beryl heights made Yara feel somewhat relieved, even though there were certain things she preferred not to think of just yet.
She came back on the right day, but traffic and things spoiled her plan she she couldn’t make it to prom even though she had the perfect dress for it. But she didn’t let it ruin it for her just yet, since there was a party which she knew about even though she wasn’t physically there at the time.
As she arrived home, her mother was still at the office and her step father was away on a business trip, so she had the house to herself which she definitely wasn’t complaining about, if there was one thing she didn’t want right now, it would be family drama. That was one of the pros of being away for so long, she didn’t have to deal with her family just as much.
After resting a bit, hopping in the shower and getting ready, Yara made her way outside calling ab Uber to take her. She could take the car technically, but as much as there were many things she would do, she promised herself to never ever drink and drive, and she was definitely going to drink so…
Reaching Mikel’s house she took off her coat as she walked in, she put it aside and went in, headed to the bar she poured herself a drink and rested against a wall looking around, and of course the first person she saw was one Daniel Parker. She wasn’t even surprised, he always just seemed to be there, that same guy that she spent most of her high school years with, the only guy she ever loved, and god knew somewhere inside her heart she never got over him.
Seeing him felt weird, she hasn’t seen him since she left, it has months and seeing his face now reminded her of things that happened, and how everything fell apart, and how inside her she still partially blamed herself for it, even though it wasn’t fully her fault.
She looked at him and for a split second their gazes crossed, she could see he was surprised to see her, but one thing sure he wasn’t happy to. And next thing she knew he went into the elevator and kissed Valerie. If there was one thing she didn’t expect to see was Daniel and Valerie, they disliked each other for ages what happened? Maybe he really had changed like she heard… she didn’t have to be at cerulean physically to know Daniel changed, not for the better, and who knows if the Daniel she knew and loved was still in there.
Even though months have passed and probably both of them at least kissed other people or much more, but seeing him kiss another girl wasn’t really the first thing she wanted to see when she came back. She told herself didn’t mind, but she was jealous, looking at them just, just no.
She turned and walked away, and filled her cup.
Welcome back Yara, enjoy the party.
Approachable
Valerie was standing inside the elevator waiting for it to close, totally lost in thought staring at thin air, not even noticing Yara was here again after months she was away. She was all flustered and confused, and god knew the alcohol wasn’t helping even a bit. She looked over at the mirror at the back of the elevator, it was now a lot less visible that she cried, only if someone really tried they’d see it so she hoped nobody will and she could just let it slide, maybe even making her own mind believe she can slide it.
The door was about to close when Daniel walked in pulling her focus back into present reality. Daniel? Really? Can’t she at least get in a stupid elevator without people that- Daniel. Just Daniel.
”Go along with this and I’ll owe you a favor”
Wha- . She didn’t even have time or enough focus to respond and next thing she knew he pulled her towards him into a kiss absolutely cutting down her train of thought. Wait what?
As much as she never liked Daniel, she was too flustered and confused to even notice what was happening and pull away, so she didn’t. She didn’t even want a favor from Daniel she was quite capable dealing with sht on her own.
She didn’t even know what she felt about it, but this was the only thing that managed to make her feel somewhat good ever since she left Dominic on the dance floor. And who would have though Daniel Parker was a good kisser?.
Seconds after the door closed and he pulled back groaning, and she looked at him in somewhat shock while catching her breath back, as he took a drink out of a bottle he had in his hand
”I probably have an STD now don’t I?”
It took her a few seconds to reply, even though she was hyper focused now she was also super super confused, which definitely don’t go well together. ”Twice the charm” she replied regarding the STD, momentarily reminded of the girl that claimed he gave her an STD or something, even though it was just a clip short of a memory since she could really focus on any concrete thought at that moment.
Running her hand through her hair, ”Why-“ was all she managed to ask, still confused by the whole situation.
