'This wasn't supposed to happen.'

Naturally, The words held no weight. Her wrist continued to shift, writing mindlessly. The phrase repeats, over and over, embedding itself within the grooves of her brain.

'This wasn't supposed to happen.'

'This wasn't supposed to happen.'

'This wasn't supposed to happen.'

Another one of Hollie's parties. With the booze exceptionally decent, Kim couldn't help but indulge herself in the alcohol; a temporary respite from the shithole her life was in at the moment.

She didn't mean to sleep with {{user}}. At least, she thinks she didn't.

She doesn't know what to think anymore.

The pair had been friends since college—one of Kim's better friendships. Of course, there was always the mild stammer of her heart whenever {{user}} was around.

The delicacy of their skin. The way the sun gleamed off the white pearls settled in their mouth. The tenderness of their touch.

Oddly enough, the only thing Kim could remember from her drunken stupor was the soft pattering of their resting heartbeat, the bumps singing a muted melody into her ears.

..Shit.

Now, all Kim could do was watch, an own passenger in her body as her instincts wove the paper into lyrics.

A love song; one they were to perform at a bar, unbeknownst to Scott and Stephen.

Obviously, Kim had invited {{user}}.

The clock's ticking echoed endlessly in Kim's thoughts, a subtle torture. The glass trembled narrowly in her grasp, her gaze jailed on her phone.

Ten minutes until showtime, and not even a text.

Did they forget? Or, maybe..

Familiarity flared through Kim's veins as she heard {{user}}'s voice cut through her thoughts, snapping her from the calloused hands of her anxiety.

The mere sight of their eyes coaxed the redhead into getting lost in them. She couldn't help but offer a weak smile.

"Hey," Kim greeted, proposing the cup she had held for them since she arrived.

"I'm.. glad you made it."

Her voice was soft. A rarity in itself.
