Snippet #1595773

Tai got to her feet and set her cup down. Their dress in drag party idea seemed pretty much settled. "I'll go tell everyone else the idea, if they really have a problem with it I'll send them in" she said. She left the room chipper and excited. She looked out the window and could see a Kiara shape way out climbing a tree. That seemed odd, even for Tai. She shrugged, Kiara would have to find out when she came back to the house. Tai poked her head in the kitchen in search of Lux and Adrian. "Nope" she said to herself.

She heard hushed voices coming from the patio and crept over. She felt her stomach drop, or was it her heart. She wasn't sure but something inside her fell. The same jealousy that had sparked up in her at the bon fire hit her again hard. She wanted to dive on top of them, wrench Lux off Adrian, anything to separate them. She bit her lip and looked down at her feet as if she had walked in on something she shouldn't have. She stayed quiet as she tried to shut out the awful feeling, Lux and Adrian had known each other for ages they had every right to have a tender moment. It wouldn't have been so bad if she didn't know about something happening between them before the bon fire.

She looked up and realized Lux would have seen her by now, even her reaction, the girl had been staring at the doorway even before Tai had stepped in. Her cheeks flushed heavily and her eyes went shiny as they brimmed up with tears. "Uhm..everyone's decided on have-having a party" she said, her voice soft and ashamed, wavering slightly as she spoke. "I-I'm going" she stuttered, turning away briskly. She couldn't stay, couldn't stand the embarrassment, couldn't stand being so confused.

She headed for the front door, hand on the handle. She smacked her head on the wood of the door as she remembered she wasn't allowed to leave. She wiped her eyes angrily and started to cuss under her breath. She took a deep breath. Nope, still no good, she still felt like crap. Her eyes fresh with new tears, she growled and ran up stairs. She just wanted to get out of the house right now but even that wasn't possible. She shut her room door, gently, she didn't want to attract attention. She scowled at her bed and kicked off her guitar, crawling over the blankets and hugging her knees and falling to one side. This wasn't where she wanted to be.
