Fifty Seven.

"Belle, you coming to the party tonight?", Jake asked me while I was making myself a sandwich in the kitchen.

"No", I simply responded.

Jake sighed and went elsewhere. They were all trying so hard. To get our spirits up and to try and make us talk again.

But they wouldn't dare do again what they'd done last time they wanted us to talk.

"You should start having fun again you know...", Tom whispered beside me.

"I have plenty of fun in my bed watching Netflix, thank you", I faked a smile.

Tom sighed as well.

"You know what I mean... C'mon, James won't even be there".

I was hearing him out and I was actually starting to consider to go. I was screwed once he saw the doubt on my face.

"One drink. That's all I'm asking. You don't have to dress up if you don't wanna... You gotta admit you miss me", he made me laugh for the first time in days. "There's my girl... Please? It'll just be you, Jake, Case and me. Please?", he pouted.

"Oh, alright", I rolled my eyes smiling.

"I'll just go put another shirt on", I mumbled.

And for the first time in days it actually felt good to get poshed up. I barely did my make up but I guess I was okay.

"Who are you?", Case said once I got to the front door where they were already waiting for me. "Is this beauty Belle?".

"Oh, shut it you guys", I smacked his chest, playfully.

"Leggo get drunk", Jake passed an arm over each of Casey and I's shoulders as the four of us made our way to the party.

It was an open door party just like that first one I'd ever gone to at collage. The weather was slowly starting to get better as we were already in February.

It was a cloudless, chilly night and we were all just hanging out, drinking beer.

They were trying to make me laugh, which was really sweet, and not once did they bring James up, which I gladly appreciated.

"Did you guys know I love y'all so much?", I started laughing as I hung on to Casey's neck.

"Guess we got her drunk", Casey pointed out.

"Shhhhhhhh... up. I'm not drunk. You are", I poked his nose, laughing.

"It's been a while since I've seen her like that... Gotta say it's nice", Tom said kinda hushedly but I still heard him.

"Oh, I know you've missed me the most", I said walking over to him just in front of Casey. "don't get jealous, Mann", I clutched onto his chest now.

"Slow down, dude. We don't want you to trip", he said grabbing me firmly by my arm as he pointed elsewhere with his other one.

"Belle... Why a-are you always with Tom? Come back", Casey spoke up.

"Awww. Stop guys! There's love for everyone!", I smiled as Tom tried to get me to stand next to Casey again. "Hey, chill! I wasn't done with you, Mann. What are you guys doing?", all three of them were grabbing hold of me until I somehow got it. "What are you guys trying so desperately for me not to see?", I laughed turning around.

But the smile was immediately erased from my face as I saw James walking hand in hand with Mila out of the place.

My heart seemed to stop.
