"That fucking bitch," Erin mumbled again as she drunkenly leaned on her friend Paige. "Fuck.. break up with me? Fuck'n I'LL breakup.. with.. and her stupid face.. I don't fuck'n.." she slurred together as Paige helped her into her house.
"Ok drunky girl.. so there's a garbage can beside you if you feel sick, just try to stay on your side ok?" Erin said as she started tucking her into bed.
"I do feel sick.." she pouted as she began to curl up into a ball.
"Well just try and aim for the trashcan ok?" Page said as she went to go move it even closer to Erin's head.
"No not.. how could she.. that? But to me!"
"This is some prime, wait-to-the-morning, stuff here." Erin said as she patted her friend on the back.
"I fuck'n love or I thought.. but No! No it's meh meh meh all the time and. I mean it's like hello? I should have.. it's my place too! She shoulda .. spinning on the couch"
"Look, we'll go by your place some time tomorrow when she's not home, you can grab some of your stuff and crash here for however long you need." Paige said as she started tidying up the room.
"I'll crash.. I mean all over her face!" Erin said before making herself chuckle at the joke she thought she just made.
"Of course you will, goodnight," Paige said as she turned off the light and walked back to her room.

"So you wanna come to the Halloween party tomorrow?" Paige said as she sat down beside Erin, who was wrapped in blankets staring blankly at the tv. The same position she had been in for the last three days
"Don't feel like it."
"Look, I know you're feeling bad. You were together what, three years?" Paige said as she set a tea down in Erin's line of sight with the television.
"No, first date was just over three years ago, knew her for about a year before that. Moved in with her a year ago next month. You know what's messed up? I actually started looking at rings.. I guess that's just me being 'too clingy' as she put it. Or maybe it was my not wanting to do what she wanted to do or fuck.. maybe she just realized she could do better or something" Erin said in one of the longer responses she'd given to Paige in the last few days.
"Stop it, hey you don't need to beat yourself up," Paige said trying to walk a delicate line.
"Why, you gonna do it for me? Whips and all that's still back at her place."
"Good, a joke, see there's still a part of you under there!" Paige said as she moved in for a hug.
"Uh, get off me you fat cow! I can't move," Erin jovially responded as she struggled to get out from under all the blankets she was now being hugged in.
"I'm about five pounds lighter than you. And like you said, you left your bondage stuff back at her place, got to make up for it somehow!"
"Uh.. fine! Fine I'll go to your stupid party! Just get off me," Erin said in a smile as she got up to go shower.
By the time she took a long shower and tidied up, nearly an hour had passed and Paige was in her room getting out possible costumes. Erin looked at her limited options with some dismay. "Didn't you say a few weeks back you were getting me this cool costume custom or something?" she asked.
"Right, but I wanted to talk to you first. Are you going just because I'm making yeah or do you want to try to meet someone? Cause I think you need a rebound to get out of this funk, but that's up to you. I hear there's going to be a lot of women there.."
"I.. You know what you're right. Fuck it, I've only been with one vagina in almost the four years. One night stand doesn't sound so bad. Where's this special costume?"
"Here you go," Paige said as she went into the closet to retrieve a small delivery box. "I'll give you some space to change."
Erin grinned as she pulled the costume out. It was a large, single piece black catsuit. It was made of something close to latex, somewhat ridged but with just a little bit of stretch. It had a zipper in the back and one across.her crotch. In the back was a single cat tail, keeping the pretense of Halloween.
Below it in the box was a small container of baby powder. Erin was no stranger to Latex and began applying small amounts to her legs before stepping in. It stretched as she worked her each leg into it and clung to her like a second skin. The arms were not any easier,but they at least opened up into a hole, allowing her free hands to stick out. There was a small flap that dangled over the back of her palm painted, like her feet, to look like a cat's paw. She struggled for some time attempting to reach the zipper at her back, but the twist would always move the zipper further out of reach. Erin gave up on the zipper for now and took out the last piece of the costume, a small pair of black cat ears attached to a plastic headband.
"Yeah! Operation get-back-on-that-horse is a go!" Paige said as Erin emerged from the bedroom. "Need help with the zipper?" she asked rhetorically as she walked around and began to close the costume up.
"Uhh, that's kind of tight," Erin said, as she found herself having to take slightly more shallow breaths.
"Yeah, but go to a mirror and say that," Paige said. "And while you're there, I'll get some makeup. You forgot the nose and whiskers!" After a brief touch up at the mirror, the two walked out to the car. It was a little cool but the sky was clear and the moon was bright for only three quarters full.
"Ok, I'm gonna get this out of the way early, don't just sit there on your phone." Paige said as she glanced over and saw her friend furiously typing away in the passenger seat. "As your friend, I'm telling you: put it away or I'm taking it away."
"Fine, just updating my facebook anyway. 'I don't need no April! I'm gonna find someone new and hotter tonight at Abby's epic party! Woot.' Ok done, here," Erin said as she handed her phone over to her friend.
They had arrived a little on the early side, but it allowed both of them to take in people as they came, not as a single mass. But it would be an uphill battle for Erin to find anyone much hotter than April. She used to think April was far out of her league. She was a leggy, spunky brunette without an ounce of excess body fat to be found. Not by accident, she would start every morning with a jog. Even at her best Erin could only join her for about half her routine. Erin was in no way ugly herself, but there was just something about April that could make Erin feel inadequate by comparison.
But two drinks in, Erin realized she didn't need another April, she just needed someone.
"Nice costume," came a voice from behind her. Erin turned to see a woman in a tattered looking witch costume. She had bottle red hair and fair skin. Her stockings were ripped, the material frayed, she wore extra belts and bracelets that seemed to all make it look like a cross between being a witch and simply shopping a little too much at a goth store.
"Not bad yourself. Hi, name's Erin."
"Victoria. So, did kitty come with anyone or you all on your lonesome?"
"No, this kitty's all alone. Why, do you know someone in need?"
"I can think of someone who might be looking to get to know a nice pussy.. cat." Victoria said, emphasizing the pause to play up the terrible and obvious joke. "Hey, you wanna go somewhere quiet to talk?"
****
Victoria and Erin went outside by the cars, sitting down on the trunk of Paige's car. The two hit it off in short order. Victoria was a little more forward than Erin was used to, but that seemed appropriate for a night of rebounding. Different was good. She noticed Victoria checking her watch often, but it seemed to only be a distraction when the conversation lulled. She invited Erin back to her place just down the block. Erin thought about it and agreed.
"So.. Halloween, scary stuff right? Nothing but moonlight illuminated things," Victoria joked as the two walked down to the end of the block near a cemetery. "Hey, you believe in any of that stuff?"
"Phht, hell no. Why?" she asked.
Victorias smile grew both in size and wickedness. "Ok, so I live just around that block, that last driveway, but.. you want a real rush? Follow me," she said as she hopped the very short stone fence around the cemetery. "Come on, unless you're chicken or something.." she said as she invited Erin in with her eyes.
Erin looked around, no one seemed to be there, the cars were all at the other side of the block and no one seemed to be in them. Before she gave herself more time to think it over, she hopped over the wall and ran up the hill hand in hand with Victoria. The gravestones all looked very old, most of them at least a century old. Once they were over the small ridge and more safely out of sight the two collapsed down in hiding.
Victoria quickly rolled over and began to kiss Erin. Erin responded hesitatingly. She found this girl attractive, and the situation certainly arousing, but the back of her mind kept shouting "what about April?" That part was quickly silenced however as Victoria began to run her hands along Erin's body and rub her leg against her crotch.
Victoria flipped over to better work her hand down to the zipper concealing Erin's crotch. "Mmm easy access zipper.. for your convenience right? Hey wait, look over there," she said she pointed directly across from them. It was dark and hard to see, but it looked like a large stone crypt had been left open. The open door swung in, but it was clearly open. "Hey, do you dare?" Victoria said as she started to get up to a crouch.
