A Marriage without Love

Trying to be my old self

When I went back home, Camila was in my room reading some magazine.

"Why are you here? Don't you have a party to go to?" I asked kicking off my shoes and went to take a shower. I really need this to refresh my mind.

"You are not coming with me and I don't want you to stay alone here." She said loudly as I had already entered the bathroom.

I'm so proud to have a best friend like Camila. She can be a bitch sometimes but she has always been here for me and I can't let her make her life boring like mine just because of me. Oh.. I have an idea.

I wrapped a towel around me and went back into my room to look for some clothes.

"So if I say I'm ready to go to the party with you. Will you go there and have fun?" I asked while searching for a party dress.

"Are you serious?? You'll go to the party?" She closed the magazine instantly and stoop up from my bed.

"So which one is the best?" I asked while holding two dresses in my hand. Both are awesome.

"Oh.. you're the best friend I've ever had. Thank you." She crashed me into a bear hug.

"Thank to you too Mila for everything. You're the best." I hug her back.

"So I suggest you wear the red one. We are going to have fun right?" She was grinning like a child who got a gift.

"Right."

After having dressed up, we went downstairs. We rushed to the door as we were already late for the party.

"Ma don't wait for me for dinner. I'll be late tonight." Ma gave me confused look but I was in a hurry so I'll explain later.

First time in a party, Camila has not left me alone. We were sitting at the bar drinking some strawberry juice. Actually, I was drinking the juice and Camila was drinking some beer or whatever alcoholic drink was in that cup. I don't like alcohol. I have tried to drink but my stomach couldn't contain the bad taste and smell so I puked all of it instantly.

"So why are you sitting here with me and not going to dance or hang out with some random guys?" I asked Camila who was staring at the dance floor.

"Because something is fishy here" She looked at me raising an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"You being here. This is so weird."

"There is nothing weird here. I like parties so I'm here, enjoying myself or trying." I smiled at her.

"Really? You LIKED parties. After you married, you would first not wear a short dress like this. Second you would not come to a party without your marriage ring and the list goes on. So tell me what's wrong? And don't you dare lie to me!"

I knew I can't lie to her so I told her the truth. What happened today.

"That bastard. But I'm happy you are back." She gave a me a big smile.

"And I'm happy to be back." Now I feel free. I can do whatever I want and I will not feel guilty.

"So let's dance." She pulled me to the dance floor.

After some time, I lost myself in the music. I was dancing like I don't have a care in the world. I forgot everything. My every single problems. This is so good. I've missed this.

I felt some hands on my waist. I turned around while placing my hands on the shoulder of the person to whom the hands belong. To my surprise, it was Zack.

"It's been a long  time, no see." He whispered in my ear.

" I thought you were mad at me and you won't ever talk to me" I said while looking away from him.
