Hope Your Heart Is Strong Enough (Francisco Lashowski)

Chapter 29

(Dedicated to YOU)

My house was dark when I unlocked the front door at midnight, I was feeling a bit dizzy from the alcohol I had. I didn't drink much though it still effected me.

I turned on the lights and climbed the stairs heading directly to my room.

Did I mention ? Jennifer called me tonight at 8pm, she sounded like she was crying and told me she was facing troubles. She let me know that Matt came and picked her up and that she's now at his place, she said that Ian will come too and we should all be reunited since we're her only friends and since she has to tell us when we're all together.

After what seemed like hours of arguing with Jason since he insisted on riding me there, he finally accepted that I ride alone as long as I call him the moment I get there.

And call him when I'm heading home too.

And when I need him.

Boyfriend goals huh ?

Wait did I just say boyfriend ?
Okay my subconscious needs to shut up.

So I drove to Matt's place and I found Matt standing by the doorway, he gestured for me to come in and the moment I did, I found Jennifer laughing like a prick. At first I panicked because I thought that she was shocked from whatever bad happened to her, but then it turned out that the joke was on me.

Everyone in the room was laughing, with everyone I mean Ian, Jennifer and Matt.

Then they all screamed *Happy birthday to you* and they started chanting and singing for me and the music started to play.

They even prepared me a cake !

Isn't that lovely ?

I'm really blessed to have them as friends.

We spent most of night laughing and singing, then we danced a bit and after that we decided to watch a movie.

I received a beautiful red dress from Jennifer as a gift, a butterfly necklace from Ian and plenty of movies from Matt.

Perfect.

We might have drank some alcohol, but I didn't drink much. Only some cherry vodka.

I had to stay sober since I had to drive back home.

I was in front of my house by midnight and here I am now stepping in my room, turning the lights on.
Jason is crawled on my bed, under the sheets. He's sleeping and he didn't even feel my presence, I turn off the lights so I don't wake him up and turn on the lamp on my desk.

I change in my pyjamas quickly then put my bag on the desk but it falls to the floor. "Shit," I mutter under my breath.

"Faye ?" I hear Jason's raspy voice whispering.

"Yeah," I step in my bed and rest on my right side so that I'm facing him.

"What time is it ?" He asks.

"It's past midnight," I tell him.

"You smell like alcohol," He comments. He leans closer to me so that his face is only few inches from mine, he joins our lips together, not in a kiss, he was more like tasting my lips because it was very quick.

"And taste like it," He said the moment he pulled away.

I could feel my heartbeat accelerating and my breathing getting heavier.
