Dear amazing readers, I'm so sorry the update came so late but I was extremely busy and had a lot on my plate but not to worry I'm back and ready to entertain all you amazing people 💗 ~ don't forget to follow and vote.

"I'd love to see you really moving it on the dance floor, D," I told Demi putting on my eyeshadow focused on my reflection through the mirror in my hand.

"Excuse you, for your information my moves are not swift, blissful and elegant, like Beyoncé" she swayed her hips dramatically.

"Dummy!" Angelica yelled and pushed Demi out the way of the large vanity mirror, "You've been hugging the mirror for way too long."

"It's big enough for the both of us, crazy."

A short laugh escapes my blush pink, glossed lips.
"What time is it?" I asked.

"7:20. At least the house isn't too far," Angelica replied.

The last couple of days have been hectic, with Demi leaving soon, and recently rumor has it Alex's coming back, I of course didn't care where he was, yes my heart aches each time I hear his name, yes I felt like hitting his head on a curb, but I felt closure,  each time I felt the rage burn inside me I took as a sign that he had moved on, my twisted emotions were like a force telling me to move on as well, and slowly thoughts of him began to drift away, I finally started to move on. I felt lukewarm each time I saw anything him and I did, ate, enjoyed together. The rage was no more, I felt at peace with myself, with my heart and with my mind.

"Julia?" Angelica said snapping her fingers to get me out my thoughts.

"You good?" She asked worriedly.

"Yea.. yeah, of course," I said and let out a small chuckle to lighten the air around us.

"You better be. Now let's jam!"  Demi said, opening her drawer to get her mini speaker, she squeaked and started moving to the music being blasted through the speakers.
"Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard, make you want all of her love," Demi chanted the lyrics to an old 06 hit dancing harmoniously to the rhythm like she was intoxicated.
 
"She's a maneater, make you buy cars, Make you cut cards, make you fall real hard in love,"  Angelica joined and using her makeup brush as a mic, she walked over to where Demi stood dancing and joined her dancing. They turned to me expecting me to complete the remaining verse.

"She's a maneater, make you buy cars
Make you cut cards, wish you never ever met her at all!"  I yell out and they both giggle, we all sing out the remainder of the chorus.

It was 9:30 we were incredibly late, results of singing or screaming rather to multiple Cardi, Niki and Megan hits. I was already pretty tired from the wild pre-party we had in Demi's room.

Outside the party house, Drake's 'Nice For What' welcomed us, we knew we were at the right place. Greeted by intoxicated teenagers all over the mansion, some grinding one another, some smoking, some playing beer pong, some just casually swaying to the music while conversing. Basically all the usual stuff you'd see at a teens party.

"Demi!" A strange guy, who had a bruised eye walked towards my beautifully dressed friend. "Where've you been?" He said about to reach out to touch her arm but Demi steps back quickly. His eyes told stories of pain, they look full of
tears that could burst at any point.

"Demi, let's go somewhere where we can talk," his eyes starting to water up.

Demi ignored him, walked up the stairs and came back down with some random football player who looked surprisingly comfortable with the situation. Demi walks him to a room, might seem like a normal thing but we're teenagers. That's definitely not normal.
The guy stared as the door closed shut, Angelica and I were too stunned and confused to speak.
"Hey, what's your name?" I tapped his shoulders to bring him back from whatever universe he projected to.

"Sorry to bother you," he replied his voice sounded weaker than before.
I felt pity for this random guy, but I knew there was nothing I could do about the pain he felt.
"Hey don't be, best of luck," I say with a faint smile and walk to the bar of the house Angelica closely behind me. I pull out my phone to message Demi.

You good? - me
Yea, I'll be out soon - Demi

I reacted to the message she sent and turned my phone off.

"So we're gonna pretend that didn't just happen?" Angelica asked.

"We don't have much of a choice, looks like she doesn't wanna talk about it. Let's forget about the first couple of minutes we've spent so far," I say and take a gulp of the pink punch the server gave me.
