Already home. (Aaron Tveit fanfiction)

33.-

Coming back home after what happened was strange, but deep inside it was good. The night before the party Amy couldn't sleep. Being in her old room was completely weird after all what happened, even being on her house felt weird.

When she woke up she had nothing to do or to go, so she walked to the place she knew best in town, her tree in Thrall Park. The place was exactly the same she left years ago and never put a foot on again because it hurt. Sitting there after all that time was like coming back home but with something missing.

Amy was there until she decides that it was enough and she went home again to start to prepare herself to the class reunion with her former classmates. Everybody knew that those parties are just to see how the others are doing, see how ruined the others are, see their husbands and their wives and see who was still single. Amy was right in that category. The party was going to be in a Gold club near the town, because like she read on internet, the director of the club was one of her classmates.

During afternoon Ian called a lot of times, checking how Amy was. She thought that maybe he was checking if she was still alive or if she'd gone crazy or even if she didn't jump from the window on her room in the first floor of the house. She wasn't going to jump after finally go back to Middletown, but Amy couldn't say that she wasn't going to go crazy at any time soon. More specifically she didn't know if she wouldn't go crazy at the moment that Amy get to the reunion.

In her old room she look at herself in the mirror dozen times, with the speech of 'You can do this' and 'You look fine'. She was wearing a little black cocktail dress with sweetheart top and tulip skirt, a pair of black laser cut leather pointy toe pumps and a red clutch; and probably in another moment she would have felt great with her outfit. In that moment it was just a little black red with some expensive shoes and bag.

After fifteen minutes in a taxi she finally arrived to the damn party. She didn't remember that the place was so big, but there she was in the middle of that ballroom with a lot of people that she didn't knew or saw in the last ten years. The place was really beautiful: it was a big room with large windows in one of the sides of the room, overlooking the golf course and the balcony. In that same part of the room were a couple couches and coffee tables and in the opposite side was the bar. As Ian told her, one of her ex classmates was now the director of the golf club, that was the reason why the party was there and free. And more than a class reunion that was a fucking classy party with blue and purple light and people in their late twenties drinking.

Half an hour later she was by the bar with two of her old friends talking about life, Karen and Penny husbands and other stupid things in any girl talk. The girls asked about Aaron and her, but she never told them the true. There was no way that she was going to say what just happened between them, so Amy changed the subject and start to ask Penny about her six months pregnancy and how wonderful she was looking.

Amy didn't understand how all that people could be acting as lifelong friends, when the last time that they saw they were talking bullshit about each other. People change and everything, but that was too much. And everything was fine until Amy saw Marshall walking towards Karen, Penny and her. Marshall aka the douchebag from the basketball team. The one that always try to hit on her, but she was too busy looking at Aaron. "Carter, Chandler and Cooper. Look at the C girls, together again" Marshall exclaimed with a glass in his hand. Amy was sure it was alcohol, because he smelled like alcohol when he talked. He and a couple more of people used to call them 'the C girls' because they were Amelia Carter, Penny Chandler and Karen Cooper. It was the most stupid thing ever. "Oh, look Marshall. Glad to know that you are alive, dude" Amy laughed ironically, taking a sip from his glass of champagne.

Penny and Karen started to laugh, because it was obvious that Marshall was there to try to hit on Amy again. "How are you doing after so long girls?" he asked, trying to put her arms around Amy shoulders, be she took them off before he could do anything. "What do you want, Marshall? Don't you have to go and get drunk?" Karen joked in a sassy voice. "Glad to see you too, Cooper. But I'm here to talk with Carter. I found out that you that you are still single and you are totally hot. I'm single too and you know... We can try to do what we never did..." the drunken man suggested and Amy couldn't believe it. "Dude, you are the same idiot that you were ten years ago. Get out of here, come on" Amy demanded, trying to ignore the man at her side.
