Erin and Elara got to my place to start getting ready for Louis' party.
"Why is he throwing a party again?" I asked, not knowing what the occasion is.
"It's his 18th birthday party!" Elara cheered, she took out a bag with a present. "Look." she said excited, proudly showing us her handmate gift: 100 reasons why I love you. I wonder how long they were together.
"How long have you guys been together?" I asked and Elara started counting on her fingers, but she already stopped at three.
"Three months, I think." she answered. She excused herself and went changing in the bathroom.
"Louis is going to hate this present." Erin stated and I looked up at her and laughed,
"Why?" I asked,
"He hates clingy stuff, especially with her. And the only reason that he's with her is because of his breakup with Lulu." she explained, wow, I didn't know he had another relationship before her.
"How long did they date?" I asked, trying to get any information from Erin.
"3 years I guess. She cheated on him with one of his best mates. They don't speak anymore. Just like you." And when I least expect it, we again have something in common.
"He really doesn't deserve that, and Elara doesn't deserve him." I stated and Elara walks in with a black dress, way too revealing.
"What's with me?" she asks, Erin and I look at each other full of panic, not knowing what to say.
"That uh, you look great!" I stuttered, fake smiling at her.
"Thanks babe." she thanked, we were all ready now and decided to leave for Louis' party. I quickly grabbed a racing jacket to wear over my dress, and closed the door. Erin would drive us there and it was a 10 minute drive.
In the car I realized something, I don't have a gift.
"Guys, I don't have a gift!" I blurted out, full of panic. I looked in my bag for something I could give to him. I looked to myself in the car mirror and realized I was wearing a necklace, it's the one that my ex, Jacob, got me. It's just a basic pearl necklace. I took it off and showed it to Erin and Elara.
"Got my gift." I said proudly, I wore it every single day since he got it for me. I remember the exact date. It was our first anniversary, we were in Paris to celebrate. I was looking at a necklace but it was way too expensive. A bit later Jacob came back, told me to close my eyes and putted it on. I think I've never been so happy I was back then.
Erin stopped the car and I saw a big modern house in front of me. No way he lives here.
"This is it." Erin said, we got out of the car and walked to the door. Louis opened it and greeted Erin, then Elara, giving her a kiss and then he looked at me. And he kept looking. I don't know why? Is my hair bad?
"Hey." the boy finally spoke,
"Hi." I said back. He looked nice. Not even nice, he looked good. He was wearing beige pants with a white button up shirt, revealing a bit of his chest. He also wore a silver necklace, so I think my gift isn't usable for him.
"You look uh- good." he complimented and I smiled. There was an awkward pause,
"Oh uh I've got you a gift." I said, trying to break the awkward silence between us. I looked in my purse and handed him the necklace,
"I'm sorry, I thought of buying last minute so I didn't got you anything special or something you'd actually use. It's no big deal if you-" I got cut off,
