My story- the party

What happens when dreams cross over into reality?

Or visa versa

It started Halloween night. All day my phone buzzed in my pocket. I was running errands for my friends who were throwing a Halloween party that night. I had made a deal with a friend that we would both go to the party in our PJ's. The costume theme was supposed to be a "sexy" dress up party but... Defiant like we are. I wondered all day if he'd keep his side of the promise. My friend throwing the party wasn't too happy that I wasn't eager to participate in the sexy. I assured her that her costume was super sexy and anyone coming to the party that hasn't already slept with her would definitely want to. She kinda scowled at me and asked me to hang more decorations. Don't worry we are friends.

My pocket buzzed again. "When does the party start?" "Should I bring anything?" "Do I have to dress up" dammit ppl it's not even my damn party. There's only a handful of ppl I'm interested in seeing tonight, I wonder when they will show up?

I went out to grab some beer. When I came back everyone was either in the bathroom or out getting last minute stuff . All except for my ex boyfriends new girlfriend. Who had avoided me all day. The girl throwing the party had asked me to please be nice to this girl, because she was scared of ppl. When did I start hanging out with such ridiculous people. Why wouldn't I be nice to her? Poor girl us fucking a man who told me he wanted a vagina. I know how bad that sex is, talk about self loathing. So I sat down on the couch with her. "What are you watching"
"The Japanese version of the ring" "oh I've never seen it but I heard its better" "yea, what's your favorite scary movie" "I don't really have 1" then she gave me.
That look of what? A spooky without a favorite scary movie? So we ended our intelligent conversation. People started arriving. First trick or treaters. Then the party started. People brought beer, food, and of course sexy. Finally my friend in PJ's arrived with a beautiful couple. I hugged them all. The couple went downstairs and my friend in PJ's stood in front of the TV. My ex finally came out of his bedroom. Laced in a corset, wearing poorly done makeup, a mini skirt and fishnets. Telling everyone how excited he is to be transgendered. Self discovery is the most powerful thing, but I hate when it's used to classify. I wish I could say he's still in treatment, still going to a therapist, and still moving forward with his gender change. But that's the thing, he never intended too. I glanced into the living room, mr. Pj's was still watching tv. I ran up and gave him a hug from behind. I clung for a second, to the familiarity of the motion. Then said "hey let's go downstairs" we both went and I grabbed a beer and a cookie. People where dancing and we formed a dancing train. And everyone was laughing. I went and sat with Mr. PJs and a few friends. It was going to be a good night.

I got up to check out the rest of the party. People were drunk, some were high, some were sleepy. I quickly got bored and made my way back down stairs. Mr. Pj was gone. I asked a few ppl and they said he went upstairs a few minutes ago. I checked upstairs and someone said he went out the front door. So I ran out front. I didn't see anyone do I ran to the end of the road. I looked up the street and down. I didn't see anyone walking. Where the hell did he go so fast ? I texted him. He text back that he was sorry, he had to leave. And that he would explain everything later. I went back to the party. The rest of the night wasn't bad, I won funniest costume. And ran into an old ex of mine. Saw a few people I haven't seen in a while. But I can't say I wasn't bummed. The beautiful couple that came with mr. Pj decided to leave as well, feeling rather uncomfortable. Shortly after they left I left too. As sleep started to invade my thoughts.

I wanna say that the actual party was more like the dream, where we dance in the sand and run in the water. Where anyone else at the party doesn't matter.

That is what we create together, a mix. To you I'm your light to your dark. To me your my peace to my chaos. Without the balance life becomes a dark and twisted place.
