Love Never Lasts

Chapter # 21 Back here again

     (Hi guys! I recently got back into writing and I'm trying to put all my energy into this one and forget about making a new story every week or so. I will try my best to post more frequently. Now enjoy chapter 22 I plan to post the next chapter tomorrow.)

      Two weeks had gone by. And nothing. Charlie wouldn't return my calls or texts. I kept staring at the front door hoping Charlie would come through the door and tell me his phone was broken or something. Who does that? Asks a girl to be his girlfriend then all of a sudden nothing. No texts, no calls. I'm so angry. Who gives a crap about love? Love will just disappoint you. 

     Whoa it's not like I love him, I like him as more than a friend but I don't even know when it's love because I've never been in love. At the moment I would like to give that guy a piece of my mind, But at the same time I miss him so much and just wanna kiss him and tell him never to leave me. Ugh I sound so desperate.

      "So let me get this straight. Charlie comes here, makes out with you then asks you to be his girlfriend. Then disappears out of nowhere for two freakin weeks?" I sighed at my best friend who is just trying to help but I don't know how she can. "Yeah, that pretty much sums it all up." I flop back on my bed. I'm now laying on my back with my hands covering my face. I have no idea what to do now.

      "Ok here's what we're gonna do." Sarah says while jumping off my bed. I removed my hands from my face then rolled onto my stomach. My eyes followed Sarah to my closest. She grabbed the clothes that I brought when we went shopping then ended up taking all kinds of instagram photos. "There's a party tonight and we're going. And you're gonna wear this and show Charlie what he's missing." "That shirt is so revealing it was fun for some photos but I could never wear that out in public." Sarah frowned. "Come on Eve! Charlie will drop dead when he sees you in this." She threw the clothes at me basically telling me that I don't have a choice.

      "And going to another party? Do you remember how the last one ended?" I propped myself up in my elbow so I could see her better. "Well this time I promise I won't leave you. I am really sorry about how last time ended but that shouldn't make you never want to go to another party. And Josh made sure Jimmy isn't invited to this one." Sarah always seems to make me do stuff I would never do. "Ugh fine! But how do you even know Charlie will be there?"

      "Zack is gonna go to Charlie's house and drag him to his party whether he likes it or not." Wait, I could just go to Charlie's house to see him. "Wait Sarah, what if we go to Charlie's house instead of the party?" Sarah gave me a look that shut down the whole idea. "Nope! See this way he'll see you all dress up and see what he is missing. Plus I'm the one driving." She smirked at me. 

     I knew my fate and there's nothing I can do to stop it. "Get dressed." I grabbed the clothes and went into the bathroom. I love Sarah, she's my best friend and all but that still doesn't mean I'll change in front of her. I know most girls do and don't care about it but I do. Sarah could care less about changing in front of me and she knows I don't care but she also knows how I am about exposing my body. Yet she's forcing me to wear this super revealing shirt. In her defense I did buy this shirt.

      I slip the sleeveless shirt over my head and pull the white skirt up. Since the shirt is crossed it only covers my boobs. My almost whole stomach is showing. When I stepped out of the bathroom and Sarah was standing right outside the door almost like she was trying to make sure I didn't try to escape. 

     She had the golden heels in her hands. "These too." She said while handing me the heels. "I can't wear my converse?" "No, Now come on, we're stopping at my house so I can get ready before we go to the party." I grabbed my small purse that fits a little more than just my phone. 

     After stopping at Sarah's house we arrived at Josh's house. I'm back here again. All of my memories from the last time I was here came back at me like a flood. The whole thing with Jimmy, the amount of alcohol I consumed, and what happened in the driver seat of Charlie's car. I shook the memory out of my head and kept walking. 

     Loud music blared from the huge speakers all around the back yard. The setting is prettier than the last time we were here or I didn't notice the led light hanging above our heads. 

     Girls and guys were dancing together and not in a cute way. They were grinding against each other. Yuck.

     Sarah and I made our way past all the gross people. We looked all around until Sarah spotted Zack. 

     "Zack!" 

     She called over to him to get his attention. His head snapped up as their eyes connected. My eyes trailed off from the couple to something, not someone. There was someone sitting down in the grass leaning against the fence.
