A cold wind opened the window inside of a room. The walls bathed in the light that didn't belong there. I woke laying in destruction after a night that I could not remember. The pounding would not leave my head the sunlight not helping my situation. This destructive path that I was on seemed to reach a new limit, moving to the side I saw him. Gritting my teeth I decided to make a run for the door when a pale arm went around my waist, a pale arm so different from the tan skin I yearned would touch me. I waited another minute and heard no signs of him getting up. Him…. I wondered who he was, disregarding that thought I reached for my red dress and black heels.

The door was inches away as I stumbled out of the apartment thanking any entity that would listen for making this a bit less shameful. I wondered if Mina was up, glancing at my watch "7 am, crap," I would try her cell if not it was back to my place on this oh so glorious Sunday morning.

"Damn it Mina pick up," I though as I hailed a cab. "Hey Lolita doing your walk of shame on this shiny Sunday morning," Mina answered in her usual cheery form. "Hilarious as always Mina but please meet me I want to know what happened."

"You don't remember," came her surprised tone. "Well would I bother calling you if I had no idea who the brunette I woke up was?"

"Yeah alright come over Kunzite is over at his brother's place we should be free to talk for a few hours. I sighed, "Okay I'll meet you in a few." Halfway over I almost ran back I was hoping to not run into Kunzite it was hard enough being the single in a group of friends in successful relationships, but seeing the beau of your best friend and seeing that happiness was too much torture.

"Sheesh took you long enough, coffee has been done for a while now, so what's up" she said casually. "I told you Mina last night. What happened" I said in a tense manner almost annoyed with her joyful appearance. I then felt guilty for being so overbearing, it was not Mina's fault I decided to become a train wreck.

"Look Serena as your friend and possibly best friend," she smirked "I don't think this behavior is healthy but I guess we are all to be young especially when one is young," she looked back at me satisfied with her statement.

"Okay Mother go on" I urged her while sipping on coffee as if it was the most wonderful substance it was to me nothing was as good as black coffee on a hung over morning . "Raye and you were pretty much the ones pounding the liquor at Amy's bachelorette and though I thought the place was reserved for our gathering but it seems the bottom floor was having its normal night."

I urged her to continue once again and she paused looking away as if afraid of the words that threatened to spill. "Well at this point you and Raye were dancing on tables but Raye had started to sober up once Jadeite called. You on the other hand decided to head down to the bottom floor with some Amy's coworkers remember Sandy and Janice? Oh they gave her the most adorable China set and comforter." She gushed my story leaving her mind in about 1.2 seconds

"Mina please attention span of a fly then what happened" I said

"I followed you down because we were starting to clear out and as you remember or don't, I drove you. Well you were very comfortable in the arms of some guy with a ponytail, so not your type or so I thought."

"Oh my god Pony tail guy yes it's all coming back. Ahh he owns the coffee shop by my office crap now how am I supposed to face him and they have the most wonderful pumpkin spice lattes!

"So I guess my work is done" said Mina. "Yeah thanks Mina I'll had home now and I hope I wasn't much of a hassle. No Serena you are not but," she paused never mind. Her silence said everything I felt like a screw up. I put the mug in the sink once again saying thanks and sorry an almost daily occurrence for me nowadays. Once I reached my apartment I was ambushed by cat, Luna. "Oh girl I have to feed you right" I reprimanded myself while her expression held a mixture of pissed off and worried for her owner. Even my cat thought I was fucked up great just great I thought.

I reached down to Luna's bowl and poured her meal for the morning. I thought back to last year around this time plans were made, I was supposed to be married like Amy soon would be. I was supposed to be happy like my friends. He was supposed to be here, I stopped that last thought. Getting up and mustering up whatever strength I had I repeated what seemed to be my mantra, " you foolish girl he left you and then had the audacity to say it was for the good of both of you."

The night came marking the end of the day. With it came the full moon and stars that had once filled her with glee. She sighed and went to bed hoping that the dreams would stay away. The full moon enchanting and mysterious signaled that fate was conjuring up a storm for this young woman and her former lover.

On the other side of town a tall handsome man saw the moon as well. Yearning for the one who would not leave his mind his memory or the print she had left on his soul.
