NO. JUST NO.

CHAPTER 1

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!", the loud singing blasted out of my phone. I swear if this is happening in person, I wouldn't know what to do.

Do I sing to myself? Or just stand there while waiting for the song to finish?

"Thanks Mom! Uhh where's Dad? And Layla?" I replied.

I was currently sitting here, in my couch, alone. You're probably wondering why I'm alone for my 20th birthday.

Well... I'm staying here in London for the summer. I have this "convention" that I have to attend for a week. It's for my scholarship for the next semester.

I kinda planned on staying here for a month or two, just to change my surroundings and everything.

"Your Dad's at work, and your sister– I think she's with that blonde dude", my Mom works at a restaurant, her shift starts at 6 pm and it's only 4 pm so she's got nothing to do.

My Dad is the dentist's assistant. He's always busy so I should not keep my hopes up but he texted me this morning. Guess that's all I got.

The same goes for my sister. She's 17 but acts like she's her own legal guardian. I dunno what happened to that girl. But she did call me this morning.

"Ow okay mom, listen, I gotta go, I have to buy pizzas for later"

"Oh, so the slumber party's real?"

"Mom it's not a 'slumber party'. I'm 20, plus, we'll just hang out and watch movies."

"All right, just be safe ok?"

"Yes mom, byeee." And with that, the line ended.

Ok so, before Mom called, I was preparing some food for later. I ordered pizza, coke, beer, pasta, chocolate, popcorn, whipped cream and ice cream.

4 people are expected to arrive tonight. Karla and Macy were at the mall doing god knows what. Probably girl stuff that I don't enjoy to be honest.

These two are my friends, but not BEST friends. I like to call them, "company".

Then we have Tyler, he's Karla's boyfriend. They've been together since junior year. Yeah...... you know what I mean.

Jake, he's the best. Periodt.

We are inseperable.

-----------------

Hours passed, nobody came. Nobody called. Not even a single soul.

It's 10 pm, and I'm cleaning up the hotel room I am staying at. I put the pizzas on the fridge along with everything else.

As I was placing the ice cream back to the cold electric-powered box. My phone rang.

Whoever that was have some explaining to do.

"Happy Birthdayyy Alli! Now before you say anything else, I know I have to explain. Karla and Macy texted me that they can't go. They said a club was having a sale on drinks so they have to go." At this point, I"m a bit mad.... okay maybe not a little bit. "And Tyler had to come with them so they'd be safe." Bro, not to be rude but, I think those 3 just didn't wanna come.

"Any particular reason why you didn't show up?"

"My shift got extended, and Aunt Darcy needed me home. She forgot that her visitors will come today so she needed a hand."

"Look, it's fine with me. Just inform me ahead of time."

"Hey I'm sorr-"

"Yeah. It's cool. Bye"

----------------

"No, Jack! Wake up! Jack, wake up!" It's way past midnight and I think Rose and Jack are the best company when you're alone. They make you feel more alone.

In my right hand is a type of alcohol that I didn't want to name. And in my left was the remote.

It was in the scene where Rose is swimming for the whistle when i heard a knock.

Who would knock at my door at this hour?

I peeped through the hole. Well, it is completely normal to see a blonde guy laughing at the lights above his head. A curly haired lad that is staring at his chest and mumbling something to the birds in his body. A blue eyed boy hitting a brown eyed guy's butt with his knees. I think the brown's the only sober one. And lastly, the one with the quiff who's sitting on the floor sleeping.

Do i open the door?
