I turned around, placing a hand on my heart. There stood the goofy brother with another goofy grin attached to his already goofy face. If that even made sense. I could feel warmth of summer air hitting my back as we were standing on the therase, far away from the event we both had to attend. "You scared me, Joe."

He placed his hands in pockets, smirking a bit."I see that you came alone, tonight." He wiggled his eyebrows; the goofy child in him turned its face."Trouble in paradise?"

I sighed, knowing that if I tell him about me and Liam his brother would also know which I intended to stop from happening. "Joe, please don't." I begged softly.

He sighed too before shaking his head and looking at me with seriousness."I'm actually here to invite you for dinner at my place, tomorrow."

"You know I'd love to come, but—"

He pushed his finger to my lips, stopping me from saying anything else."But nothing, I expect you to wear something casual and be there by six o'clock." With that said he rushed down the staircase and vanished into the crowd, just like he was never here.

I started at his figure, mixing with the rest of the people standing in the patio where the venue was celebrated.

I sighed, shaking my head. I sat slowly on the stairs, fixing my dress that had a few wrinkles, not because I had moved a lot since I came to the event. I had been walking around to avoid any uncomfortable question.

When I came back from my Australian tour, Liam and I had a long and complicated talk. Surprisingly it didn't end up into a long night crying alone. I actually felt free, but not happy.

When was the last time that I actually felt happy?

I felt happy with my life and everything that I did, but I didn't feel happy inside. It was because of my messed up feelings that I didn't want to be asked about my relationship with Liam, because I couldn't assure what we were. I loved him, but something in the back of my head kept bothering me, something that made me feel empty.

''Miles, mom said that we could leave!'' I heard my little sister yell from behind me, I stood up quickly smiling to her.

''Thank, Noah. Let's go.'' I grabbed her hand and we walked to the parking lot.

As I walked away, I couldn't help but turn around to the crowd of people, looking as Joe waved goodbye to me, with his goofy smile on his lips.
I jumped when my phone vibrated and I opened the new text;

'See you tomorrow, Mi.- JJ'

I put my phone in my bag as I shacked my head, something never changed.
