Pity Party

5

I get up and head into the kitchen.

Opening the fridge I take out another cake,

thinking that a lot of people were going to

come, I made two just in case. I set it on a

table, sitting down, and light candles around

the top. I then blow out the candles. Taking

a cigarette I light it up and lay back in my

chair. I inhale the cigarette and slowing have

the smoke come from my mouth. I sit here

with the curtains on flames with them slowly

burning down my house. One last tear

escapes my eye and down my cheek. 'It's my

party and I'll cry if I want to.'

Michael P.O.V

"Dude you were totally cheating!" I yell at

my friend Jake. "I am offended. I never

cheat. " Jake replied while placing a hand

over his hear. "Bro you cheat all the time!"

My other friend Mark yells. "Okay. okay

you got me I cheated, but only a bit!" Jake

confessed. Both Mark and I chuckle at

him."So Michael how's it going with Ally?"

Mark asked me. "Ooooooo Ally!" Jake said

in a girly voice. "Nothing there's nothing." I

respond. "Oh come on you've liked her for

almost two years! When are going to make a

move?" Mark asked looking at me. "Let's see

when. Hmm." Jake said with a thinking

face."Ooo got it at her birthday party!" My

eyes go wide. I dig in my pocket and pull out

her invitation. It's started at six. I look at the

time and see it's already 8:03. Oh lord. I'm

pretty sure they guys put the pieces to get her

because the next thing I know they're yelling

at me to go and we drive off in the car. I have

her present, which I left in the car, on

my lap. I got her a necklace and book I think

she might like. Hopefully she doesn't notice

I'm not there yet. "Woah dude look." I hear

Mark say. I look up and see a house on fire.

Please not let it be hers. I hear Jake speak

into the phone most likely talking to 911.

I grab the invitation, her present, and get out

the car. I look at the house numbers and stop

walking. Her house is the one on fire. I drop

down on my knees and cry.

The first girl I've ever loved is gone.
