I stood in front of my mirror to take in the beautiful dress that I was wearing.

The dress is black and with a cowl neck, the fabric of the dress was silk with thin straps hanging on my shoulders. 

I do a quick spin and run over to my closet to grab my black heels to go with the dress.

I walk over to my massive queen sized bed where my black handbag is. Pulling out my phone I scroll though the hundreds of notifications stalking my phone but only one catches my attention.

"You won't get away with what you've done bitch."

My heart speeds up and it's suddenly hard to breathe. 

I drop my phone on my bed, promising myself to block the number and not think about it tonight.

Tonight was Noah's 18th birthday and I currently was 20 going onto 21. 

Tonight was about Noah, so I decided to forget about my handbag seeing as I had no intention to bring my phone and worry my friends. Plus, Jenna was driving me to Noah's party and back home later tonight.

I walked back to the full length mirror and looked at my reflection one last time, loose curls fell past my shoulders to my waist, I had two gold bracelets on my left arm and a beautiful heart shaped ring on my right middle finger.

I took in a deep breath and looked over myself again, making sure I was right and good for the party.

The next thing I hear is a car honking out the front of my house. I run over to my balconly and lean against the railing, spotting Jenna and Noah in a Mercedes Benz without it's roof over them.

"HEY GIRL YOU READY TO PAR-TAY?" Jenna jumped to her feet and waved an unopen bottle of alcohol.

Noah laughed beside her and looked up at me.

"HURRY UP AND GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE BEFORE SHE OPENS IT!" I laughed and shook my head at the 2 girls in the car.

Running back inside I closed the balconly door, locking it and making my way down the stairs to the front  door.

I opened the door and carefully ran down the steps to the car and slid in the back where I strapped in my seatbelt.

"ALRIGHT LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Jenna screamed as she buckled in and sped off, leaving my house and my phone behind.

We arrived at the party about 20 minutes ago and everything was inside this huge tent, the only reason people left the tent was to go to the bathroom or make out. 

And I was already alone and by myself without any entertainment.

Jenna was over on the dance floor kissing and dancing with her boyfriend Lion and Noah was kissing a random dude while getting drunk slowly.

I watched and observed, it made me happy to think that everyone was happy.

"And what are you doing here Precious?" That voice... 

"What did I say about that stupid nickname Nicholas?" I turned around and was face to face with the one and only Nicholas Leister.

He was apart of the gang world who raced and dealed and bet on everything they could. As much as I loved cars I never raced and I refused to get into that shit. I did not like it one bit.
