Olivia P.O.V

"There's a party tonight, are you coming?" Jack asked, walking me out to his car after school. I thought about it for a minute and nodded, getting in the passenger seat. Everyone else hated driving with Jack, but I didn't mind it, I actually thought it was kind of fun.

"Where is it?" I asked, looking out of the windshield.

"Somewhere," Jack replied quietly. I turned to look at him.

"Jack, tell me, right now." I sighed, but he wouldn't look me in the eyes.

"Somewhere…special? I can't tell you, okay?" Jack sighed, looking me in the eyes. I sighed and nodded, leaning back into the seat. I realized that I had started sighing a lot more, it was really weird.

Jack pulled into my driveway and parked his car. He got out and walked into my house with me. He stood at the bottom of the stairs and told me to go get ready, in something hot.

I ran up to my room and grabbed the first thing I found. It was a black dress from a long time ago. It was short and tight, but it showed off my curves better than anything else I owned. I threw it on, and threw on a pair of black heels.

I straightened my hair and put on some dark eye liner, the way I used to wear it. As I was walking out of my bedroom door I stopped to look at myself in the mirror. I looked almost like the old me, only with black hair. I smiled and grabbed a necklace Alex had given me. I put it on, and it made the outfit I was wearing look amazing. 'This was the only thing Alex did right.' I laughed to myself and walked downstairs to meet Jack. I was ready to party.

Jack parked the car at a big house, in a fancy neighborhood. I wasn't familiar with the surroundings, and I hoped I knew some people here. I held on to Jack's hand tightly as we walked into the party. People were dancing everywhere; there were empty cups and broken bottles on the floor. People had cups in their hands, and some were already passed out on the furniture.

"Welcome back to the party scene." Jack whispered in my ear. I turned to him and smiled. "I know it's not the same…since you're here with me. But, it's still the same old party scene."

"It's even better now." I smiled, intertwining our fingers. Jack smiled back and pulled me off into the kitchen. He started mixing some drinks, so I sat on the bar and watched people. I saw a couple walking up the stairs, the boy looked very familiar, and the girl looked like Miranda. I hopped off the bar and walked up the stairs behind them, not being seen through all of the other people.

I saw 'Miranda' walk into the room, and the guy stood outside of the door. He turned around and looked around for a minute. It was Alex. I dug my finger nails into my palm and walked up to him. He was drunk, completely drunk. I stepped back and narrowed my eyes at him.

"ALEX, come on!" The girl yelled, it sounded like Miranda, so I came to the conclusion that it was her. My best friend is fucking my ex! This was ridiculous. Alex slammed the door shut and looked down at me.

"I'm so sorry." He whispered, letting a single tear fall from his cheek. I scoffed and walked away, but he grabbed me arm and pulled me back. I looked into his eyes, noticing they were lifeless and dull. "Just…you…please, listen." He cried, pulling me down the hall to a different room. We sat down on the bed, and he started talking. "I'm sorry, every time I ever cheat on a girl, I'm drunk and they're one night stands. It never means anything to me. I don't even know who I slept with that night; I probably thought it was you. I didn't mean to do it…I don't mean to do it. I lo…I still care about you."

I looked at the floor, thinking about everything he said. Its not like you could make something like that up…and be able to look someone in the eyes and say it like he just did. I looked back up at him, and let a smile form on my lips. I leaned forward and lightly kissed him.

"Promise me, Alex." I whispered as he wrapped his arms around me and held me close to him.

"Mhmm?" He asked, kissing my neck gently.

"Promise that you won't cheat again, and we can be together. Just promise me that." I whispered. He pulled away and looked me in the eyes.

"I promise." He whispered, before kissing me tenderly. I smiled into the kiss and pulled away from him. I grabbed Alex's hand and pulled him down the stairs and through the dance floor to the front door. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"We don't need all of these people to have a party." I whispered in his ear. He pulled his head away and winked at me, before nodding and taking me out to his car. He was still pretty buzzed so he gave me the keys and I drove to his house, remembering the day I left as if it was yesterday. I looked over at Alex, and then down at our intertwined hands…and hoped I wouldn't relieve that day.

"Olivia…" Alex whispered, I looked over at him and he continued. "I love you." I smiled and looked away from him, knowing I wasn't ready to say it back yet. Alex held onto my hand tighter as we got closer to his house. I smiled and stopped the car in his driveway. We both got out and went into his house, starting to kiss. He led me up the stairs, and into his room… xx
