Okay, Soaf. You can handle her don’t panic.
I thought to myself and suddenly an ear-splitting noise went across the hall. I snapped to see who it was and found her to be none other than Lavy.
Wait.
She was standing right here in front of me a moment ago!
By now everyone was looking at her while she burst out laughing at someone.
At this point I knew Dany was the only one who could help me right now. Soon I turned towards him.
“Dany! HELP”
Yes, these four letters written in capital was exactly what I needed for the moment. Okay, this is not normal for me. I mean I have never seen her drunk.
Hell! I don’t even know when she started drinking! I use to think she hasn’t started yet.
Maybe it’s her first time. I’ve read it in books, being drunk for the first time is a really terrible experience and it soon turns out to be a misery for life.
Well, that’s not what we want. I just hope we get home safely and tomorrow when she is sober I’m going to rake her over the coals.
But for now I need Dany to help me.
You know the situation has become even worse because by now Raymond and his friends are also staring at Lavy who is still laughing like she just saw a video in AFV.
Thankfully Raymond doesn’t know that Lavy is my sister, yes he has met mom but not Lavy, yet. But I can’t go there and stop her.
Everyone present in the hall is staring at her. I just hope she doesn’t make a fool of herself.
“Dany, stop her. Do something. Please.” I whispered.
He nodded and went in the direction where Lavy was standing.
I hope this doesn’t turn things worse than they already are.
I would have pulled Lavy out already if it weren’t for Raymond. I don’t want him to see me.
“Ohh sweetheart. You did it.” Dany exclaimed, a smile plastered on his lips. I saw him in confusion just like everyone else in the room.
What is this boy doing?
He continued “Well, ladies and gentlemen. This was just a dare, you see-” everyone sighed and laughed and some started hooting whiles some clapping. Dany stopped and nodded his head with a huge grin.
“Yeah, so you can continue with whatever you were doing.” He shouted and almost everyone turned back minding their own business.
I think I will need some lessons from him on how to turn a totally panicking situation into a normal one.
Everyone started dancing and the party was back to normal again ( I still don’t see how these parties are even considered as ‘normal’).
I saw Dany grabbing Lavy’s arm and leading her towards the backyard.
I rushed towards the backyard while trying not to get caught by Raymond.
Dany and Lavy were waiting for me in the backyard. As soon I reached there Dany told me that he will drive me and Lavy home. I gave him the car keys while Lavy was pretty much asleep with her head slumping every now and then on my shoulder and I was holding her waist. Somehow I managed to drag her to the car though she looks so thin I can tell how heavy she is. I sat next to her in the car and Dany jumped into the driver’s seat.
This is the time I saw Raymond and his friends coming out of the house and the sight again made my jaw clenched. I saw Raymond coming out with a girl beside him, she was totally throwing herself on him and as always Ray being a jerk was holding her by her waist with a tight grip which was very clear by the way he was clutching her flesh.
Vulture
Soon our eyes met and I turned my face in the opposite direction as our car drove off. I tilted my head little and saw Raymond from the corner of my eye, a bit shocked as he leaves the girl and started walking towards our car but of course we were way ahead.
Lavy was comfortably sleeping, her head resting on my lap while she curled herself into a circle.
I couldn’t get over what I saw at the party. Yes, people gossip about Raymond being the typical bad-boy but ever since I got to know him I thought he was different. We all know rumors spread like a fire, I always thought that maybe just because he’s popular these all are just rumors. But since now I have witnessed one on my own my brain refuses to believe it.
