Chapter 16, 17 and 18 shattered glass LAST CHAPTERS!!!!

Chapter 16

I didn’t mind having a party. I think I needed one. To cheer myself up. And this is what most 16 year olds would be doing. Even though of what happened with my dad because of alcohol I think I still want to try it.
Which is what I did.
I could tell Skye was concerned for me but I reckon Mika would’ve been happy for me. I remember that Mika told me alcohol apparently makes everything go away or feels like it does anyway but it makes you go all dizzy and you don’t know what you’re doing. But I don’t think I care right at this moment. I’ve all ready over come one of my fears today and I’m going to over come this as well.

The music got louder as more and more people appeared. The small house seemed so cramped and I’d lost Skye due to all of the people around. But then Skye won’t be here to stop me from drinking.
I quickly poured myself out a beer and took a sip. It wasn’t too bad. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. I spin around to see a guy that looked like the same age as me and was average size and quite good looking. He looked familiar.
He smiled. "Would you like to dance?" He asks.
As soon as he smiled I remember who it was. It was the guy from the beach who I felt staring at me. I smiled back. "Sure."
He took my hand and lead me towards the music.

We danced for ages and I started to get thirsty.
"I’ll be right back." I said to him. Heading back to the kitchen where I’d left my beer. I took a huge swallow of it and started to feel a bit dizzy.

As the night went on I think I drunk about five bottles of beer and I felt like I was going to fall over and everything was all dizzy around me. I felt very strange and like everything bad that had happened throughout my life had just gone and I had started a new. I smiled to myself.
"You all right there?" I heard a boy’s voice ask. I turn around slowly and see in a blur that is was the guy I had been dancing with.
"I’m fine." I mumble.
I see him grin. "You don’t look fine. C’mon lets take you outside."
I nodded and he took hold of my hand and lead me outside. His hand was warm.

I sat down next to him and I wondered where Skye was.
"Where’s Skye?" I ask slowly.
"He’s upstairs I think. Should I get him for you?"
I thought about this for a moment. If he saw me like this then…
I shake my head. "No, it’s fine." I reply quickly. It felt like I was going to puke.
"My names Riley by the way." I hear the boy say.
I turn to look at him. "Jessabelle."
I see him smile.

Riley and I were having the best chat. He seemed like a great guy, but I don’t think I’d get into any relationship with him. It felt like I was doing all the talking. I felt very talkative, it was amazing.
All of a sudden I look up and see Skye walking over to us. I smile.
"Hey guys." Skye says. "Belle, you haven’t….."
"Skye." I whisper taking his hand. "Don’t worry, I’m fine. Trust me. I feel great!"
Skye doesn’t say anything like he thought that I was wrong.

It was around 2 0’clock in the morning by the time everyone went home. I said good-bye to Riley and ended up spreading myself out on the sofa.
Skye comes in and laughs. "Looks like you had a good night?" He tells me.
"Mhm." I mumble, with my head face down into the pillow.

Chapter 17

I woke up to find myself all most on the floor. My head was sore and spinning. I felt awful. I couldn’t really remember what happened last night, apart from talking with Riley and hearing Skye laugh just before I fell asleep.
"Morning." I heard Skye’s voice. I looked up and saw him walking into the kitchen.
"I feel like shit." I mumble.
"Probably from all the alcohol you had last night?"
My eyes widened. "Oh my god."
When he said that everything about last night came back.
"I turned into my dad!" I screamed.
Skye walks over to me. "No Belle." He says seriously.
I hug him tightly. "Why did you let me? I shouldn’t of done it."
"You wanted to try it." He said quietly. "There was no stopping you I guess."
I put my head to his chest and tears started coming. I can be such a baby!
"I regret." I whisper.
Skye hugged me tight. "Belle, everyone will at least regret one thing in their life. I guess this is your one."
I look up at him. "But you’ve never regretted anything?"
"I might’ve."
That made me laugh.
Skye smiles.

It was silent for a while and I shut my eyes.
Skye was still holding me when I heard him say: "There’s always been one thing I’ve wanted to say to you Belle. But…"
I look at him again. "But?" I ask quietly wiping my eyes.
"But I just didn’t have the guts and I don’t even know if you’d ever feel the same way."
Butterflies started to arrive in my stomach then.
"I might?" I whisper. "So are you going to tell me?"
He smiles and his arms tightened around me. "I love you Belle. I always have. More than a friend. I love you."
I was shocked, I never thought that Skye would ever love me more than just a friend. I see Skye blush.
"I love you too. And always have." I whispered.
Skye looks at me. "Really?"
"Really, really." I say and slowly kiss him on the lips. I pull back.
Love is like the wind, I never saw it but I could feel it.
Skye suddenly kissed me back. "I love you." He whispers. "Never leave me."
"Not ever." I reply. But I knew full well that at Mika’s party I would’ve had left him. I’m so glad I didn’t, because then I think he would of blamed himself, just like I had with Mika. That was one thing he was never going to find out about.
"Never leave me." I say.
"Never in a million years."
I smile.

Chapter 18

All this time since I jumped off that plane. I forgot about Mika. Well not fully, but I forgot about blaming myself for her death. Even though I would probably never find out why she done it.
I Remember the note she had half written and that she said: and Belle, please don’t blame yourself.
Which I did. But I think I know now that maybe I wasn’t the blame for why she did it. I’m just still a bit upset on why I hadn’t seen it coming. She always seemed so happy with her life?
I think it was her parents. Even though she was really close with her family I don’t think Mika had a good relationship with her mum. Kind of like me not having a good relationship with my dad. I never really took the relationship with Mika and her mum in very well.

Skye hugs me tighter.
"I don’t think I blame myself anymore." I tell him.
He smiles up at me. "That’s good then Belle. I Love you."
I smile. "I Love you too."
I close my eyes and fall asleep in his arms.
I dream, a happy dream this time.

I wake up and see Skye beside me, with his eyes closed and all I remember about the dream I just had was hearing only these few words:

Bad Things sometimes happen to you, when you least expect them and when they do happen, a mirror shatters inside you, into a million pieces.
