Broken hearts

Chapter 20

-Noah-

"They think our love is just a growing pain. Why don't they understand, it's just a crying shame. Their lips are lying, only real is real. We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel.
Grease is the word"

I finished with my hair and turned down the music I was listening while getting ready for the party, Andrew had the idea of dressing as 'Grease' characters, so I was Danny, Andrew was Kenickie and Camila was Rizzo. Once I was ready I walked to my dad's room to tell him I was going out but when I got to the door I found him dressing up to go out.

"Dad I'm going to the party"; I said so he would face me.

"Sure buddy, but first can you tell me how do I look..."; he was wearing a nice suit and using cologne, something that he doesn't do very often.

"You look great... Where are you going?"

"I invited Carol to dinner, we are going to that nice restaurant I talked you about"

"So, is it a date?"; we didn't talk about the kiss I saw the other night so I wasn't sure what the hell was going on.

"Yeah... I think it is"; he said smiling. "Is there a problem son?"; he asked when I stayed quiet for more than a few seconds.

"No, I mean if you think you are ready to move on then, it doesn't matter what I think. I guess it's a little bit soon but that's up to you"; I tried to sound indifferent but I failed. 

"I don't know where that came from Noah, but if you want to say something then you can say it"; I was angry at him, he never talks to me and now he expects me to be ok with him dating another woman?!

"It's ok dad, you can do whatever you want"; you never promised anything to mom. "I have to go now, have fun on your date"; I gave him a fake smile and ran out of my house.

I got in the car and tried to focus on something else, my thoughts were spinning in my head until one stayed, and I remembered what I was going to do at the party. One of the reason I was going to stay sober at the party, besides being a designated driver, was that I had a pending conversation with Jude.

After the 'fight' of the other day I started thinking about what we were doing and I decided that I wasn't going to let him go, I couldn't let him go; I thought about it and I was going to ask him for time, I needed to talk to Anni first and give us the time to let our couple relationship on the past before thinking on having something with Jude.

I arrived to Andrew's house and he got out with Camila on her arm, I admit they looked good together and I was happy for them. When they entered to the car I started driving to the party, Anni didn't want to go so it was just the three of us; she's been feeling bad all week so I didn't insist, that's why I was going to take advantage of the situation and talk to Jude once and for all.

The ride was kind of awkward because while Andrew and Camila were acting like a couple on the back seat, I was just the driver trying to focus on the road and ignore their love words. When we arrived to the party there was a lot of people already, we walked inside and before joining everybody on the dace floor I stopped, I was nervous and my head made up a million of endings after tonight.

"Are you sure you're doing the right thing?"; Andrew asked standing next to me.

"I hope so"; we finally kept walking and joined the party.

We danced and ate candy, Andrew and Camila tried to include me in the dance but most of the times the hugged each other and kissed in front of me. For a moment I tried to look for Jude with the eyes but for some reason I never found him, it was eleven thirty and I decided to go upstairs to the place where I was supposed to meet Jude, I told Andrew and after he wished me luck I left the party.
