***2 Months Later***

I use the last of the small face paint palette to finish drawing the last of the whiskers on my face. I put on my headband with black lace cat ears and slip on my black short shorts over my black lace-up leotard. Checking my smokey eye and winged eyeliner one more time in the mirror I decide I'm ready to go. I text my friend Emily and let her know I'm on my way before I get into the car and turn off my phone. Emily and I are heading to probably one of the biggest parties of the year. For some reason my town always goes nuts over the Halloween holiday.

Once I arrive at Emily's I honk to let her know that I have arrived and she comes out dressed as a sexy pirate complete with a hot pink eye patch and fish net leggings under her matching black short shorts. I complement her on her seashell bandeau top and she whistles at my appearance before we head off to the address that was sent to us.

Upon arrival there are many different groups that are noticeable from the outside. There's the group that is so obviously shit faced its not even funny, the obvious designated drivers or non drinkers, and the horny teens grinding by the pool. I can only imagine whats going on inside the house. I know for a fact that not a drop of alcohol will touch either my nor Emily's lips. We head inside and the temperature rises like 40 degrees from all the people sweating and dancing. There's one couple so obviously drunk that they are in the middle of the dance floor practically fucking each other right on the spot. I roll my eyes at their lack of class and grab Emily's hand, taking her to the kitchen for some food. I know what you're probably thinking; why is this girl dressed in barely anything and saying that other people have no class? Well here's the thing, I am wearing little clothing because it is hot for one and also I like how I look. I'm not dressed this way to get attention from anyone, just to feel sexy for one night.

While Em and I pick on some chips I notice a couple guys checking her out while we laugh at their drunken state. A couple of guys get a little too close for comfort and the smell of alcohol on their breath is revolting and others just plain grope me. I see Emily's crush Jason approach her and tap her shoulder. He whispers something in her ear and I notice her smile a little and become flustered. I decide that I should leave them to their privacy and go to find some soda or something. I pour myself a glass and watch the couples on the dance floor. Some of them are cue and others are just plain nasty. Next thing I know I feel a hot breath on my neck and smell alcohol. I know this isn't Emily because she doesn't drink; so who the hell is so close to me. All of a sudden I feel a hand on the upper left side of my thigh near my waist. I turn around and see my ex not holding back the urge to slap him. Who does he think he is? Annoyed and frustrated I run up the stairs to find somewhere private. I open any door near me hoping that I don't run into anyone doing the nasty.

Once I find an empty bathroom I close and lock the door as the memories of our relationship flood my mind. All the times we kissed, cuddled, all of the cute moments, all of the photo-shoots and how he always showed me off. That was until he decided a girl online was better than a girl that he can actually spend time with. Some days I feel like I'm over it and can move on and be happy. Other days I feel like there's no happiness left in any part of my body. As the tears start to slow I take out my phone to distract my mind from the asshole that left me and open up Snapchat. I see that Jessie posted on her story and it immediately brings a smile to my face. But what I see when I open it brings an even bigger smile to my face.

First I see a picture of Jessie and her friend Annie and then I see a really tall blond guy. Jessie and this guy are sitting on a couch with Annie on Jessie's lap. I watch story 3-4 times before I decide to text Jessie.

Me: YOUR STORY, WHO IS THAT??

Jessie: The guy?

Me: Yes!!

Jessie: My best friend Jared. Why??

Me: He's a hotty!

Jessie: OMG!! Hannah!! Want his Snapchat? I'm sure he won't mind.

Me: Omg yes, please. I love you

Jessie gives me his Snapchat and says she loves me too before I decide to head back to the party. I open the door to Emily with the biggest smile on her face. I ask her what she's so happy about and then explains that Jason asked her to coffee tomorrow. I practically scream with excitement for her and we decide that we should head out. She grabs my wrist and pulls me through the crown to the door. We hop into the car and start to engine to head home. Emily goes on and on about the events of her and Jason but the only thing I can think about is Jared...
