Tonight was bonfire night. Same place, same time, every year. Tradition carved into this place. I don't know why I said yes to going with Topper. Maybe because john b was showing up with Yvonne. Maybe because I needed a distraction. Or maybe because I didn't know what else to do with the ache inside me.
"Stella, you know what you need?" Topper ask, already half buzzed on excitement. "You need a drink. All right let's get you a drink. Oh! They got mai tais. Come on." He says
"I don't know" I mumble
"Come on. Let's just have a good night. Come on." Topper pressed a can into my hand.
"Yeah." I force a smile.
"Something to kind of take the edge off. Cheers." He adds
"Cheers" I echo
"Cheers to just a... just a normal fun night" He says
"Yeah." I laugh softly.
But the moment I lift the drink, I see him- John b- taking to Yvonne. The whole world shrinks to the shape of his silhouette in firelight. He turns, eyes meeting mine. I look away like it didn't matter. But of course it mattered.
A little later, topper wanders into a territory he always finds himself in: John b.
"Stella I got nothing against him all right? I really don't. I just... I didn't feel like you belonged with him right? And I... I knew you thought you were close." He says
"We were close" I said.
"You're... you're... you're too damn trusting. You're just gonna get hurt. I just... I don't think they feel things in the same way that we do. You know what I think? I think we should have a good time tonight. And I wanna dance." He said
I give him another small fake smile.
"Let's dance." He laughs, taking my hand and spinning me.
"What are you doing?" I ask, dizzy from more than the spinning.
"It just... just feels like old times you know? It's just... it's just you and me. We're just... Listen Stella I don't wanna freak you out after everything you've been through-" he started
"What could possibly freak me out any more than what I've already been through?" I ask honestly
He hesitates. "I just don't want you to forget we had something too" he said
