I gulp. That last sentence got to me.

"Love is about not faking it,"

I look over to Yoandri who is now looking at me, biting his lip. He must of heard of what she said also.

She gives me a glare, "so let's make this toast to them!" she holds her glass up. Everyone then stands up, and holds their glass also. Me and yoandri stand up, holding our glass also.

"Cheers to love!" Britney says and sips her glass, like everyone.

She looks at me while she is sipping her glass. I then sip my glass.

She knows. She knows about me and Yoandri. She planned this. Of course she did. To make a fool out of me. My throat feels dry, even if I just drank. How does she know?

Maybe I'm overthinking.

I need to breathe. I need to get air.

"Yoandri..." I say, and he looks at me, "can you.. can you come out with me?"

He nods, worry in his face.

We excuse ourself from the table and I take his hands into mine.

We head out in front of the house.

"How the fuck does she know?" I say.

"Molly, can you calm down?" He says.

"no Yoandri. I won't. You heard what she said in there. You saw when she looked at me when she said those words."

"Maybe it's a coincidence. You need to calm down, okay?"

"Why is she here anyway?" I ask, rudeness in my voice.

"She can't be here? I didn't know it was illegal for someone to be here," He says.

"You know what I mean. She's your ex girlfriend, why is she here?"

"Molly, because she is my friend. Besides I didn't know she would be here," He shrugs. But Britney said He invites her to every family reunion.

I roll my eyes, "how long have you been with her before 'us'?" I ask.

"Why do you care?" he shots.

"Because I can care! And I can ask. You know what, I don't know why I'm spending my time on you. I want to go home now!" I shot back.

"We just got here. We're not leaving," he starts to walk toward the door.

"So? Your just going to leave me in the living room again while your over there with your friends, getting drunk? Yeah what a wonderful date this is. If your going to drink, then I'm going to drink too," I walk.

"No. You can't even handle one drink. You pasted out last time. So no, you are not drinking," he orders.

"oh so now your my dad? What the hell is wrong with you? Yes, I'm going to drink whether you like it or not!" I cross my arms.

He rolls his eyes and finally gives in, "fine,"

We get back in and there is standing the witch of all witches leaning against the wall, as if she was waiting for us.

"Well well, took you guys long enough," she says.

"Not now Britney," Yoandri answers and grabs my hand leading me to the bar.

The music is blasting loud now.

We get into the bar, "can we get two shots of tequila?" Yoandri says. The bar tender nods.
