[color=E77298]Attire:[/color][url=i.imgur.com/S3gFWL7.png]An Outfit that would make her mother faint[/url] [hr] [center] Anastasia’s heart was beating too fast. [/center] The last hour had consisted of constant physical activity and one might expect such a situation, but this was different. She had been dancing to the music when suddenly she slowed her movements, and her smile faded. [color=E77298] “I-...”[/color] Her lips parted as a barely audible noise came out. Her expression crumbled as she wrapped her arms around herself. Her heart had never raced this fast and it was a terrifying feeling. The lights around her blurred with every motion as she felt panic set in. Music and chatter alike became a conglomerate of noise assaulting her ears. It was difficult to catch her breath, speak, and even think. This wasn’t the adrenaline that made her forget. She felt like she was going to die and it frightened her for once. There was this extreme feeling of misery on top of it all. Although, that wasn’t necessarily a feeling unfamiliar to her. She felt so desperately disconsolate that she wanted to say something about it. Subsequently, she turned her gaze to her brother, Munir, and Leo. But she saw different faces than who she expected. Their voices reverbed in her mind as if they were being said out loud for the first time. [color=D173A5][i]Did you think I really loved you? Do you really think anyone would? That anyone would want you for anything other than to take you to bed?[/i][/color] [color=DDB775][right][i]You are dead to me, Anastasia.[/i][/right][/color] [color=D8BFD8][i]I have given you everything you have ever wanted. What’s wrong with you?[/i][/color] In the blink of an eye, she saw their faces again as they should be. It was simply Callum, Munir and Leo before her. All three of them had been having so much fun and she had just been about to tell them about how awful she was feeling, probably ruining their night in doing so. [color=E77298][i]It doesn’t matter whose face I see… I’m meaningless to them. No point. But it’s nothing bad they’re doing. It’s me that’s wrong. [/i][/color] She had been staring ahead at them without a sound for the last moment, perhaps perplexing them. Tears had been streaming down her cheeks the entire time. [color=E77298]” I’m…I’m… going to go sit down.”[/color] Somehow, she had managed that out over the feeling of heart pounding. The moment she turned, her legs threatened to unbuckle. The energy was slipping away from her with every single second that passed. However, Anastasia persisted and pushed forward to a stool, which she practically collapsed into. This was enough to alarm those nearby her enough to ask her if she was alright. She laid her head down as someone shook her shoulder. Wrapping her arms around her head, Anastasia tried to block everything out, hoping her heart rate would slow.
