We Built a Kingdom From Ashes That Still Remembered Love by Aila Frost 545
“Let’s do it,” she agreed, pulling me off the bar stool and towards the dance floor.
The dancing we did was not appropriate for this type of event, or the music being played. But in our drunken state, we both found
it to be hilarious. We laughed until our sides hurt. She started off with the chicken dance and then ended attempting to break
dance. I did some lame ballet moves and then attempted a split, which landed me on the ground, laughing.
We were so caught up in our own drunken stupor and lame dance moves that we didn’t even notice that half the audience was
watching us. Most of them looked horrified, but at the moment, neither Irene nor I cared.
Before I knew what was happening, a firm hand wrapped around my wrist. The entire room was spinning, and I couldn’t stop the laugh that bubbled out of me. I barely noticed that I was being dragged away from the dance floor.
As soon as the cool night’s air hit my skin, I realized we were now outside. Irene was by my side, her wrist also being held captive.
“You’re such a party pooper!” She complained, her words slurring on her tongue.
It took me a minute to register who she was talking to.
“Are you out of your mind, Irene?! You knew how important this event was, and you made a mockery of it,” Gavin’s voice rang through, echoing through the busy streets. “You owe Elana an apology once you sober up.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Irene said, rolling her eyes. “Sue me for having some fun and letting loose with my friend. Sorry that I don’t have a stick up my ass like the rest of these rich assholes.”
“You are out of line,” Gavin seethed.
“I got their coats,” another voice said from nearby. Everything was spinning and I was seconds away from losing everything I had eaten and drank; sweat started to form on my forehead, and my breathing came out in short gasps.
