I put my phone aside and hopped into the shower. I blow-dried and straightened my hair and did my skincare routine. One of my friends was also invited to the same birthday party, and we decided to get ready together. We cracked open a Coke Zero, picked out our outfits, and did our makeup together. It was just super basic and very light makeup. Getting ready together was always so much more fun, though.
We headed out at 6 p.m. and went by public transportation because we both planned on drinking tonight. There was no way around drinking anyway because Dan, whose birthday it was, always loved getting drunk with all of us. He was the biggest party animal.
I started getting increasingly nervous on the way there because I knew Max would be there too. I thought everything was chill again because we hadn't seen each other in over a month, but I was still a little nervous about the situation.
When we arrived, most of the guys were already there. I handed my present to the birthday boy and sat beside some of my friends. We ordered our first round of drinks, and our mood was pretty good. We were talking bullshit as always and played some rounds of our favorite drinking game. I lost and had to take three shots in total. I always sucked at drinking games.
I even had a pleasant conversation with Max, and after an hour or something, suddenly, fucking Elias stood in the doorway.
Great, apparently, he was close enough with them already to be invited too. FML
He greeted everyone like they were his long-life best friends, just said "hi" to me, and continued hugging the people next to me. Wtf is this? I introduced this mf to the group.
One of my friends, the only other girl invited besides me, noticed the weird situation and pulled me to the bar to talk about what had just happened.
I explained everything that happened the past week between Max and me, leaving out Billie. Because Billie and I agreed to keep everything a secret for now and that I would only tell my best friend, Hannah about us. We had two shots and another long drink. Music was playing, and we decided to hit the little dance floor for a couple of songs, just because why not?
After a little while, I grabbed my purse and told her to go smoke with me.
Listen, I usually never smoke, but sometimes, when I'm out and drunk, I enjoy having a cigarette. Don't judge; I know it isn't good. Anyway, we had a smoke outside, and I texted Billie.
