Quickly I pushed Boromir away from me and wiped my eyes with the back of my
hand, before turning to Billee and throwing my arms around his neck. He held me
tightly and Jamie rubbed my back as I started crying again. I was feeling
really emotional for some reason and I couldn't believe that my friends had
gone to all this trouble for me.
"Go on" Billee called to the others. "Let's party! She'll be alright in a minute"
"I'm sorry," I said, my voice trembling. "I just feel so happy. Thank you"
"It's okay" Legolas said gently. "Just try and relax and enjoy yourself"
"I will," I promised, giving them all a small smile. "You are the best friends anyone could have"
"Glad you think so" Jaime told me, giving me a hug. "Now go on, relax"
Billee got me a drink and together we went over to Elrond, Colan, Jake and Julia. Just out of habit, I looked around for Boromir. He was standing in a corner, talking to Stacey and Tracy. And believe me, it didn't take and expert to see that they were flirting with him. When Tracey reached up to touch his face, I turned away, not able to watch any longer. I felt really jealous, stupid really since we weren't together any more. We both had the freedom to do what we wanted. But I still felt sad. I think Jaime must have noticed because she pulled me aside and asked me what was up. I just shook my head. Despite what everyone seemed to be hoping, I wasn't planning to go back to Boromir any time soon. But I guess it takes a long time to get over a relationship like the one we had. I was just going to ignore him and concentrate on having a good time.
And I did have a reasonably good time. I danced a lot even to the slow songs, with Billee, Legolas, Jake, Colan and even Elrond. As for the fast songs, well Jaime may be pregnant and I may be ill, but when we got going, there was no stopping us.
I didn't eat much, although I promised myself that I would try to eat tomorrow. I knew that if I ate anything, I'd just be sick and I didn't want to ruin a wonderful evening. I drank a lot of soft drinks, no alcohol since I wasn't sure what it would do to my stomach. But I still managed to have a good time, just being surrounded by people who cared was enough…
