The Return (De Laurel Trilogy #1)

28

"God, I'm so tired." I yawned as we were heading down for breakfast. "And my head is fucking throbbing. Who let me drink last night?" I asked Olen and Oliver who was walking with a neutral face.

"Uhm, yourself?" Oliver asked. "I just remembered. We're spending our birthday here. What are we going to do?"

"I don't know," I shrugged. "What do you want to do? I picked last years theme. I think you should pick this years."

"I don't know either." He shook his head. "I just want food." He chuckled. "As long as we have food, I don't really care."

"Olen?" I called. "What did you say last night? You know, before I slept?"

"It's not important." He chuckled. "I just remembered something,"

"Okay." I nodded.

When we arrived, we had breakfast. Of course, like yesterday, we travelled around Barcelona. A few days later, and we were already preparing for our birthday that was two days before. Oliver and I chose a club to celebrate our party in.

The two days then passed like wind and it was already our birthday.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" They all greeted at the strike of twelve.

"Thank you," Oliver and I said at the same time.

Then, after that, I posted a picture of Oliver and I in Instagram. I also got tons of messages from friends, family, and relatives.

miselenous: "Till death do us party." - Adore Delano. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! @oliversoren

I then replied to the messages. After all to those I replied to, I was still waiting for him. But, he didn't. Well I think, not yet.

After doing so, we went to sleep because we had a long day ahead tomorrow. Then, like light it was already preparation. I wore a red shiny bodycon with black strapped heels. Oliver wore a red dress shirt with black denim jeans.

Then we went to the venue. We we're greeted surprisingly by our friends. We didn't really expect them to be there.

"Gigi!" I squealed. "You're here!"

"Of course." She smiled. "Wouldn't want to miss my best friend's birthday would I?"

"Happy Birthday!" Nic greeted, giving me a hug.

"Happy Birthday Girl!" Lewis greeted.

"Aww, thank you guys!" I smiled. In my peripheral vision, I saw that Oliver was talking to his friends, Duke and Sawyer.

"Liv?" I heard Gigi call. "Where's Alexander?" She suddenly asked, making me suddenly suck a deep breath in.

"Gone," I said coldly. "Anyways, I have to go." I smiled. "Have other guests to tend to."

"Okay," She nodded slowly. "See you later!"

"See you later." I smiled.

I then sighed and went to the bathroom. I washed my hands and looked at myself at the mirror. I then glanced at the chained ring that I was wearing. His ring. I took a deep breath and held on to it.

"Why did you leave?" I suddenly whispered. Whilst I was lost in my own world, I didn't notice that the party was about to start and people were already looking for me. I only came back to my senses when I heard Olen's voice.
