Tonight is the night of the Full Moon party.

It's been slightly fun punishing Josh. Admittedly.

But he may have been right. I'm as punished as he was. But he fucking deserved it – okay? For flaunting other women in front of me. He's lucky I didn't kick him in the balls.

I do the full works: exfoliation, moisturization, hair blown, makeup on point. I'm wearing my new lacy white set under my signature light purple sequin strapless mini-dress, paired with my favorite new strappy Jimmy Choos.

I put little gems in the outer corners of my eyes, really spicing it up.

I've always loved dressing to the nines. There's something special knowing Josh will see me like this. As my...well, boyfriend? Even thinking it makes me giddy with excitement. We hadn't told the families yet. But it was only a matter of time. In the midst of everything going on, maybe some happy news wouldn't be so unwelcome.

There was a new twinge of excitement knowing he'd see me like this. And tonight would be the night he saw even less.

Anything can happen on a full moon.

Sophie is wearing a similar outfit in her signature pink. Imogen and Tate are dressed to kill in black. Imogen's got a sheer black top on paired with a black leather mini-skirt, while Tate wears a backless black mini-dress. Eva wears a white crop top paired with a long white skirt, looking almost angelic. Hannah wears a sparkly skirt and a glorified bra with a big faux fur coat. Needless to say, the six of us look hot as hell rolling into the Black Wolves mansion.

As soon as we step through threshold, we're greeted with the sound of party music, the sound of talking and drunken laughter.

Sophie links her arm with mine and we lead the way into the main hall.

I look up to the balcony landing where the Wolves usually congregate to watch over their party, but Josh and the others aren't there yet. I'm not sure where the guys are, but my heart beats with excitement wondering where Josh is. We head to the bar. I order us girls all a round of tequila shots.

"Ladies!" Sophie grins, holding up her shot after distributing all the others. "To us. The sexiest princesses in here."

"Cheers!" I giggle.

"Cheers!" the others repeat. We all shoot back the shots. Eva wiggles excitedly next to me and howls at the burning of the alcohol. Imogen is putting on a brave face, and smiling as she takes a sip of her water. I've thought about prying her for information everyday for the last four days, but I want to give her space. Something happened, and if she wants to talk to me, she will.

We head to the dancefloor. A particularly good song starts and Sophie and I waste no time climbing up on the platform where the DJ has their table set up. We always find stages to dance on. It's sort of our thing.

"Get up here!" I shout down to the others.

Tate, Hannah, Eva, and even Imogen, follow close behind. I'm so relieved to see her smiling. The six of us laugh hysterically as we sing the inappropriate lyrics at the top of our lungs and shake our asses.

Sophie gets out her phone and snaps several photos of us.

It doesn't take us very long to have fun at any party we attend.
