Chapter Sixty-One

"I am releasing my own clothing line!", Zoe announces in her video that I am currently watching.

I am incredibly proud of my best friend. After everything she had to go through these past few weeks, she still manages to keep up a huge project like this.

I helped her with some designs but another designer was mainly involved in the creative process since I was in Iceland at that time.

Still in thought about her, I get added into a new group.

"Zoe: Don't forget the launch party tomorrow everyone!", she texts into groupchat.
We all got invitations weeks ahead, preparing for the event.
I look through the contacts in the group. Some people I know, but then there are people like Tanya, Jim, Caspar and Chai, that I don't really know. Joe is also in the group, which I don't mind since we are on good terms now. One thing that I definitely don't mind is the fact that Alfie is nowhere to be found.
The evening should be about Zoe and her only. Drama isn't welcome.

"Beautiful.", Zoe says when I arrive at the venue with her.
"Woa, that's stunning.", I say in awe, looking at the designs and decorations in the big hall.

Maybe some day, this will be me.

Ripped out of my daydream, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see Joe in front of me. "Oh hey Joe. How are you?", I say and hug him.

After a bit of small talk, we separate to talk to different people at the party. By different I mean the people I already know .

The night is fun and gets everyones thoughts away from the recent drama and personal problems.

The food and drinks are really good. Especially the drinks, causing me to be a bit tipsy after a few.

"Hey!", someone screams above the loud music. Again, in front of me was Joe, slightly tipsy this time.

"Oh hey! How are you doing? I'm very well!", I laugh.

"I'm very- um intoxicated?!", he chuckles. We both laugh for no reason.
Well; alcohol is the reason.

The laughters companion is more alcohol leading us the be drunk soon after.

I think some other people are drunk too, but I'm not sure.

I think I spill some Vodka on Joe Weller, but I'm not sure.

And I think, no I am positive, I wake up next to Joe Sugg in a hotel room bed the next morning.
