Falling never felt the way it should. The act of it was never the problem- it was the bits after, the blood on the floor, the sound of her skull hitting the bottom step, the shuffle of boots- screams.Ā My God why was some bitch screaming- when all Kemi wanted was to go to sleep. For a little while at least. She hadnāt been clubbing in a while ,something that wasnāt anyones fault. But sheād been compelled to that night, dragged along by Mara into some club, some industry party. Versace had gone so swimmingly for once she felt like she deserved it, deserved to celebrate herself, deserved to feel something. She knew heād be here .Marcus. But she didnāt care too much, she was with Mara, she was with her girls- she was fucking invincible and not even the spectre of his existence could bring her down. She drank to remember that fact, drank to ignore the way his eyes lingered on her, like she was some pet heād let stray. He was so angry- and sheād only needed to look up once to confirm it. Fucking psycho. One more drink to forget that sheād loved him then?
Ā Sheād been on her way back downstairs from vip when it happened- she felt an a hand behind her, and then a push, a hard one, but after a few too many whiskeys and her position, sheād gone crashing, falling hard. Sheād turned slightly and spotted his angry eyes as she went falling down a flight of see through steps. She would hate -for that to be the last thing she saw. Anger. The voices in the club were deafeningly loud and it made sleep impossible. She groaned. Someone was calling nine one one- someone was calling Jaz. She would be so mad at her. Typical Kemi. Drunk and falling- but this was wrong. Sheād been pushed- she knew sheād been pushed she just needed to say it, but speaking was hard, really-fucking hard. āHe- He pushed me.ā She coughed softly giving up on repeating it. The club started to grow quieter. Someone moved her, and she tried to repeat it to the EMTās. He had green eyes- and that was her favourite colour. Maybe heād help. āHe- He- pushed me.ā ā¦That was enough effort for now. It was time for Kemi to nap.Ā
