Zoe's pov

I sighed in relief, as I got off of my shift at Shoe Palace. They called me in from 11 am- 7pm and I was exhausted. Considering it was a Saturday, it was busy as hell. I had never dealt with so many people. I grabbed my stuff from the back, bid farewell to my coworkers, tied my hair in a ponytail, and headed to the car.

It was my birthday today, and nothing really special happened. My co workers sang to me, and I had gotten many texts from friends and family, but that's it. Nothing from Andre, the boys, or Calum.

I get in the car and turn on the heater, since it was freezing outside. I throw my YG sweater over my head, to cover my Shoe Palace shirt. I start blasting Marvins Room by Drake, before leaving the mall parking lot.

I pull up to the apartments, and head up the flights of stairs to get to my apartment.

I unlock the door, and shit my pants when a whole load of people jump out at me yelling, "Surprise!"

I was shook. I just stood there not knowing what to do. I didn't know any of these people. Andre walks up to me and says, "I told I would make a big deal out of your birthday."

I smile and thank him.

I looked like a mess, so after greeting a bunch of people, I walk into Michaels room, where my clothes were still stored.

I find Michael in there sitting on his phone. It had been a long time since him and I talked.

He gets up hugs me, and says, "Happy birthday."

I thank him and head to the closet.

"Why aren't you outside partying?" I ask him.

"I don't like these kinds of parties," he says.

"You mean my birthday party?" I act offended.

"No I didn't mean that," he tries taking back his words.

I laugh, "it's fine."

I pick out a red lace dress that made me feel 100 times sexier, along with black pumps. I kick Michael out of the room so I can get changed.

After I get changed into my dress, I do my make up. I contour and highlight, and decide to do a dark red cut crease, to top everything off. I was feeling a bit extra today.

I leave the room and all eyes fall on me. I felt a bit uncomfortable. All these strangers were staring at me. However, I continued walking to the table where all the food was sitting.

Andre finds me there, and whistles, "You look hot."

"You have a girlfriend," I say.

"I know, I know" He laughs.

"Thanks for throwing me this party. Even though, I don't know anyone," I thank him.

"There is one person you know pretty well," he smirks.

I look at him confused, until I shit my- non existing- pants, again. My best friend from New Jersey, Lexi.

She starts crying when she sees me. I start to tear up, but I hold them back because my makeup looked too good. I hug her and she continues to sob into my shoulder. I quietly thank Andre and take her to Michael's room, since it was empty, to clean her up.
