Chapter 14: Is That Drew?

The songs on this part are the following: Wherever by 5 Seconds of Summer, Breakeven by The Script, Breathe by Taylor Swift ft Colbie Caillat. I think Crush by David Archuleta is the best song for Drew's POV. What do you think guys? ☺

I stared at the ceiling above and thought for a moment about all the things James had said earlier. Some part of me wants to believe in him and the other part wants to forget him. Is moving on really should be this hard? I don't want to be with him anymore but seeing him walking away still hurts like hell. My mind is having a battle with my heart and I am literally going crazy. My chest is burning and my pillow is soak with tears. I want to talk to someone right now but I just realized that Hailee was my only friend who would always be there to listen to my dramatic stories. I used to remember those times when James and I would fight and I would always end up asking Hailee for advice. She would bring me to places I have never been just to cheer me up. 'Ugh this is not helping.' I thought to myself. I want to scream but I don't want to get into trouble. I don't want to disturb the old lady staying in next to us. She's lovely and I don't want to ruin her night like what James did to mine. My thoughts were interrupted by my phone vibrating. I look at it and it was a message from Alex.

"Hey! Party at my house tomorrow. Everybody's invited so see you there."

If it is Alex's party, well then for sure Drew will be there. I really want to go but I don't want to see him either. He hasn't done anything but to hurt me. His smirk annoys me and I hate it when he's being rude. 'He is just like James.' My subconscious added. I can't help but agree with her.

Drew's POV

I wonder how she is doing right now. Tomorrow is Alex's party. Will she come? I hope she will. I stared at the ceiling above and I couldn't help but think of her. I've been in my apartment the whole day but all I did was to lay in my bed and think of her. 'What is this?' I asked myself. I've been with many girls but she's different. I know she's still mad about what I did and it sucks. If I just knew that things would be messed up like this, I would have known better. 'You're fucking stupid Drew.' I blurted to myself. Suddenly, my phone rang. I look at it and I was surprise to see Andrea's picture on the screen, calling me. I swipe to the left to answer it.

"Drew?" Andrea spoke.

"What?" I groaned.

"Are you still mad at me?" She uttered in a low tone.

"Well if I still do then what is it to you?" I blurted.

"I'm sorry." She sob.

"It doesn't matter anyway."

"Well it does. For me." Her voice sounds shaky.

"What do you want Andrea?"

"I just want to apologize for what I did Drew. I know I made a very big mistake and I just want to be honest with you. I still love you. And I admit, I regret everything I did. If I could only turn back those times when you were still mine, I would have done it already." She sob.

"You had a choice Andrea. I had loved you with all of my heart and I did everything just to make you happy. Yet you chose him over me Andrea."

"I know. I know Drew." She cried and she hung up the call.

That was the last thing I had ever expected to happen.

Emma's POV

I kept on thinking about Alex's party tomorrow. Should I come or not? I don't want to stay here all day either. I was thinking of packing up my things but I remember that the apartment will be available the day after tomorrow. If I won't go to Alex's party, I would be stuck here all day doing nothing. But if I will go then I would be seeing Drew. Ugh I don't know what to think anymore. I was about to close my eyes when my phone vibrated. I opened it and I saw Alex's name on the screen, calling me.

"Alex?"

"Hey Emma."

"Yeah?"

"I was just going to ask if you'll come to my party tomorrow?"

I thought for a second.

"Yes I will."

"Well that's great! See you tomorrow around four in afternoon then."

"Sure." I grin and hung up the call. I hope I made the right choice.

It was already ten in the morning when I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling for a moment. I stood up to stretch my arms. 'Oh! What a dream.' I yawned. I saw a small note placed on the top of the table. I took it and silently read it.

"I don't want to wake you up so I just wrote a note to tell you that I am going to the airport already. Take care of yourself and be a good girl. I'll surely miss you. Be home for the holidays okay? I love you Emma. Mom xoxo."

Drops of tears kept flowing in my eyes. I still can't believe that I am living here in New Jersey alone. I am not really used to being away from my mom but I am already eighteen and a bright future is waiting for me. I grab a towel and wiped the remaining tears in my eyes. I almost forgot that today is Alex's party and I still don't know where is his address. I grab my phone and called him.

"Hey Alex. I forgot to ask for your address."

"No worries. I'll just send someone to fetch you."

"Oh no Alex. Thanks but I'm just fine riding a bus or a cab." I grin. I don't want him to think that I'm abusing his kindness.

"You're still new here and you're not really familiar with the streets. I'd insist you to accept my offer. Just also for your own safety." His voice sounds concern.

"Well I guess I can't say no then." I giggled. "Thank you Alex." I can't help but smile.

"Always." He replied. I can tell that he's also smiling. "He'll be around three thirty." He added.

"Okay. See you later." I beamed and hung up the call.

My tummy is already rumbling and luckily, I saw a plate covered with foil on the table. I opened it and I saw a toasted ham sandwhich and a three pieces of bacon. Another small note was attached to it.

"Eat well. Mom xoxo"

My mom really knows my kind of breakfast. I grab the sandwhich and took a bite of it.

"Hmm yummy." I uttered.

Minutes later, I finished my meal. I didn't notice that it's already past one o'clock and I still need to get ready for the party. I decided to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

It was already near three thirty and I stood up infront of the mirror. I stared at myself for a moment before going down to the lobby. The black tight dress looks perfect and sexy. Well also, the stiletto heels is really fabulous.

I grab my purse and went downstairs. Just when I was about to enter the lobby, I saw a guy sitting on the couch. 'He must be the one Alex talked about earlier.' I thought. His messy hair looks very familiar. Wait? Is that Drew?
