Drabble:19
POV:Third Person
Lissa loved nothing more than throwing a party, especially a surprise party. She took it as both a challenge and a mission. But the party she had been planning was probably her biggest and most exciting challenge so far. Rose was her bond-mate, so planning a surprise party for her was especially exhilarating. After all, your best friend turns 18 only once!
Lissa spent weeks buying party stuffs online, and arranging for cake, streamers and presents. She made video montages, different playlists and even prepared a speech. She made up fancy invitations. She had planned everything down to the last detail, from booking a lounge in guest housing, to perfecting the guest list, inviting only their friends and a few guardians that Rose was especially friendly with. But she did her best to keep everything hush-hush, not an easy task when said best friend could read her mind. She could almost visualize the shock and the happiness that would play across Rose's face when she found out, and the hug that she would bestow on Lissa. Lissa was giddy with happiness. Rose's 18th birthday was gonna be memorable!
But when the day arrived, things ended up less than perfect- way less than perfect. Rose left the academy for hunting down her dhampir-turned-strigoi lover. She broke Lissa's heart by choosing him over her, and broke her vow to protect Lissa at all times. Lissa knew that Rose was hurting, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.
That morning, Christian opened his door to a puffy-eyed and teary-faced Lissa. "She loves him more than me", Lissa managed to choke out. Christian pulled her in an embrace and didn't let her go, holding her as she cried over her best friend. He said nothing, just offered her love and comfort as she bawled her heart out.
When the time for the party arrived, Lissa walked into the lounge, hand-in-hand with the love of her life. All their friends had already arrived, but the guardians were conspicuously absent, probably knowing about Rose's departure already. And Lissa got to give a speech, just not the one she wanted to. And it was certainly was memorable, just not in the way she had intended. Lissa knew she would never forget this day for the rest of her life. After all, your best friend turns 18 only once!
I'm so sorry for not updating last day. I feel horrible, but the situation was unavoidable due to certain circumstances. But thank you for reading! Please leave a review!:D
PS-I have been wondering if i should banish this series for a while, and instead concentrate on one-shots. What do you think?
