SOLAYNE In and out, Solayne. Take a deep breath. You've got this. I repeated the words in my head while staring at my reflection like it could give me some sort of balance. Pink dress. My hair tied up in a bun with gold earnings dangling from my ears. Pink matted lipstick to match. I knew I looked damn good. I was prepared for this. But it did nothing to help the knot forming in my belly. I picked up my glass, took some swigs and hated myself right after. Damn him for making me drink on a night my head should be completely straight. I dropped the glass a little roughly, causing some of the alcohol to spill on the table, then proceeded to curse myself right after. Thank goodness my mum was busy out there. She'd definitely have my neck if she walked in and saw alcohol on her dresser.
