Forget Me Not

Chapter 5

After a long day of classes, I was ready to just collapse on my couch with a good movie. I had finished most of my homework during my break at work, but I start labs next week which means all of the hard stuff is going to start. Studying to be a surgeon is not as easy as I thought. Most people thought I was going to give up, but no I am not going to be on the wrong side of that statistic. I am going to finish and become a surgeon not only because I love it and I want to, but because I want to prove everyone that doubted me wrong. And who doesn't like a good success story anyway.

As I arrived at my apartment building I opened my phone to see I had a new message.

From: Steph :)

Part 1 of operation Forget Aaron starts tonight. Pick you up at 8, look hot.

This is the last thing I wanted to do right now.

To: Steph :)

I can't tonight! Raincheck?

I turned on my tv and just to my luck, the topic of almost all of the shows was Aaron. Even Disney had him guest starring. Maybe I should go out. I need to get over him as soon as I can. What better way then going out for a night on the town.

From: Steph :)

Eww you bore come on!!

To: Steph :)

Fine, but you owe me.

From: Steph :)

I don't owe you anything if anything you owe me for my genius 12 step program on moving on.

To: Steph :)

What am I addicted to him or something now?

From: Steph :)

You might as well be...

She has a point. I guess I should start getting ready now. I turned on my radio and got in the shower.

"Next up is a song that has been requested non-stop all night! Here is Walking Away by Aaron Mathews!"

It's like the universe hates me. This stupid song proves that he has already moved on. He already has other girls leaving him and he's brokenhearted. I wonder who she is. She probably is this stunning model or Taylor Swift or something. Whoever she is got a song written about her so Aaron obviously loved her. I need to find someone to love. Maybe I won't love him as much as I love Aaron, but at least it will be something. I guess I should stop saying that I am in love with him because as of now, I no longer have any feelings for Aaron Mathews.

It was now 7:30 and I was just finishing up curling my hair to perfection. My makeup was flawless, which was a huge surprise because I can never get my makeup right. I guess it works out just when I really need it to. I take it that Steph is taking me to a club because thats really the only place she goes when she "has a night on the town". I slip into a red skin tight dress that ends a couple inches above my knee. Finally, I make my way to my closet and pull out some nude stilettos that will most certainly be coming off at some point because they are impossible to dance in. I walk into the mini kitchen and grab a glass of water and a granola bar. That should tide me over.

From: Steph :)

Get your butt out here I'm ready to party!

I grab my bag and head out of my apartment. The elevator feels like it is so slow. As soon as the door opens I walk out to the front of the building and spot Steph sitting outside an Uber. Why didn't she just take her own car?

"I called an Uber so we don't have to worry about driving home." Steph said when she saw my confused face.

"I don't drink that much you know that."
