Sophie's pov
The loud sound of music echoed in my ear and the club lights kept reflecting in my direction, but all that mattered to me was having fun that night and for once, forgetting I existed in a crazy world.
"A glass of whiskey please," I said to the bartender and rested my elbows on the counter.
I need to be drunk. They say alcohol helps, and I need that help at that moment. When I thought everything was falling into place, it was ruined before it even started.
I rolled my neck with my eyes shut, and I never noticed when she sat beside me.
"Here you go, ma'am." The voice of the bartender forced my eyes open but before I could pick the glass up, she snatched it away and replaced it with a glass of apple drink with little alcohol.
"C'mon sis, we aren't here to get drunk. We are here to have fun and you want to ruin it? You have a date with Daniel tomorrow. You need to be lightheaded."
Right, I need to be light-headed and not get my planned date ruined with a hangover.
I picked up the drink she offered and took a sip from it. "I apologize. I just needed something to clear my head off my work." I moved my hand across my face and sighed deeply. "So many things are happening right now and they are so much for me. Why should my life be this miserable?" I questioned and batted my lashes, trying to blink my tears away.
Juliet pushed closer and placed her hand on my shoulder, "That's why you need to get happy tonight. Just watch everything and let's have fun. Go ahead, allow the drink to sink in."
I picked up the glass of juice and took a gulp. It tasted good. Juliet is the only sister and friend I had. I lost my mother at birth and my father got married to another woman who has been the best mother I could ever ask for. I am ready to do anything for this family of mine.
My boss, Ethan Wensworth, has decided to make my life a living nightmare. He doesn't find anything I do worthy, even though I am his fiance's sister. He always finds a way to make my day terrible and recently, he threw my project, which I spent many sleeplessness working on, away. I mean, it was perfect and every other person testified. He just wasn't satisfied.
I emptied the glass and pushed my head back as a smile registered on my lips. I don't know if it's because of the drink or a sudden spell, but I felt so lightheaded. Like everything in the world doesn't matter.
I was in a different world and not walking, but flying. I was in a world of my own. I laughed and shut my eyes.
"I love this feeling. I suddenly feel so good, Juliet." I laughed and spread my arms out.
