"Really? Do you think I will go to the party with you guys?" I ask her.
"Obviously, you are going to come with us and that's final." She says and as I am going to say something she cuts me off by raising her finger in the air. "And if things don't work between you and Harry then you know I have a list of plans and..."
This time I interrupt her by repeating the same actions she did to cut me off, "Enough of your plans, Zoe, please."
"Okay." She sheepishly says. "Well, if not plans then come with me." As soon as she completes her sentence, she drags me out of my house.
Zoe makes me sit in her car and is driving to somewhere but if I guess by the air then she is on the road to her house.
"Where are we going?" I ask her defeated.
"To my house." She answers.
"Not like that, I mean where are we going to embarrass me this time?" I question with defeat written in my words.
"What?" She asks not able to comprehend my words but soon realizes it as she starts laughing but stops when her laugh changes to awkward and recomposes herself when she sees the seriousness on my face.
"Uh...Stella, come on. Nothing is gonna happen this time and if something happens then you know where to find me."
"That's the only thing I am not able to find."
"Oh, here we come!" She parks the car in front of her house and we both come out.
I am standing in front of Zoe's wardrobe, overlooking to her beautiful, sparkling dresses and it just made me realize how poor I am. She has all types of party dress – from dinner to birthday parties, from surprise to high school parties.
"Choose one." She says.
One advantage of going to these parties is that I get to wear her glamouring dresses.
"Hey! What about this one?" She points to a beautiful pink spaghetti chiffon dress. Not waiting for me to say anything, she takes out the dress from the hanger.

"Isn't it too short?" I question. The dress is too short and if I am sure then it will not reach lower than my upper thighs.
"It's fine, now go and dress." Zoe says, pushing me into the changing room.
"Okay." I groan out in annoyance.
I put on the dress and I was right that it reaches to my upper thighs.
This time I try to do my makeup myself. I haven't done makeup ever and if I have then the most is applying a plain lipstick and that's all.
I apply simple pink and yellow sunset eye makeup and for my lips, I choose a deep coral lipstick.
I thought of wearing a jewelry that Zoe gave me but I don't because my hands don't feel empty at all as all the time they carry the words of his heart. The bracelet that has his words drafted in it, crafted by his feelings. The bracelet that restarts that departed time where our hands first tangled into each other in silent watch but quickly untangled when realization hit hard and dropped the adopted hearts which is now caught into each other's soft spot.
I sigh and hope that this party will be different from the others.
I place my foot in my white flats and exit the room.
"Wow you look beautiful." As soon as I come out of the room, I meet Zoe's voice. She is wearing a beautiful sundress with flowers printed on it. She looks gorgeous.
"You look pretty." I compliment her.
"Thank you." She says with a cute blush.
"Hey Zoe, are we going to a beach party?"
"Yup." She answers while wearing her sandals.
"When are we leaving? Is someone coming to pick us?" I ask her but mentally wish for Harry to pick us.
"Ya, Ryan is coming, must be on his way." She answers, trying hard not to smile.
"What is going on between you guys?" I cry out. She looks at me like she didn't except me to question this right now.
"If you want any help then I can do with my list of plans." I say stifling my laugh.
"What the hell!" She says, her mouth wide open.
I hear a honking of a car outside.
"Oh! I think he has come." She quickly grabs my hand and heads for the main door.
"Your savior is here." I mutter before leaving with her.
It took us just twenty minutes before reaching our destination but that time I realized how many seconds are there in twenty minutes. I was sitting in the back seat while Zoe was sitting on the passenger seat next to Ryan. We hardly did any talking and somewhere I got the feeling that I was invading there space which made me feel awkward for the whole drive.
Once we reached, I quickly hop out of the car while Ryan opens the door for Zoe.
Zoe walks to me.
"Stella, I will meet you after some time. I am going somewhere with Ryan." Don't leave me alone.
"Oh okay." I say and plaster a smile but soon that fake smile changes to a genuine one because if she is happy then as a friend I should also be.
Now I am left alone to admire my surrounding.
I look at the decoration and see that there are a string of lights that ends deep into the sky. The woods put up together to ignite fire any time. Tides of sea water raging low and high. Water hitting the shore carrying away the printed footsteps of people those once walk through. Sun which is ready to melt its shine into the sea and disappear away to get free. All the couples and friends gather together with a glass of champagne to foresee the moment of glee with me alone in this whole beach.
I take out my mobile phone to capture the moment so that I can play it again whenever bad times come and hit me hard.
I was just going to capture the movement when a voice from behind stops me.
"Can take you to a better place?" The voice says. Everything from the nightmare street recaps in my mind but I don't feel scare this time. I have heard this voice before many times.
I turn back and meet the pair of sea foam green eyes looking straight into mine.
"Ready to leave?"
