There was no way that she was staying at home on a night like this. Even after the police questioned them, she knew this thing wasn't over. There was no way. And she was already driving herself crazy by staying at home worrying about getting a call from them out of the blue. She had cooked and baked for far too long. Tonight, she would do something so out of the ordinary that nobody would even expect to see her there.
Tonight she was going out to the bar.
Sure, she may have gone once or twice, but never by herself and never to get wasted. She was taking a big risk by not going with Nate, or even Mel of all people. She was taking an even bigger risk by drinking alone too, but nothing would stop her. She wanted to get the image of Julia out of her head, get the sounds of her screams out of her dreams. She just wanted to forget it all, no matter the cost.
When she arrived, she walked straight to the bar and ordered a shot of tequila.
