The Party Girl // Zane Hijazi

Chapter 19: A Lifetime

Months went on. Two years later I turned 23, I finally quit my dead-end job at Buffalo Wild Wings, and started community college. I'm getting my associates in Management this spring. I work at the improv theatre (acting/ singing sometimes, serving, and bartending) every night making more in tips than I did at BDubs.

As for my roommates; Josh came home, left again, and moved to Paris for work. I never really get to see him which sucks. I still have no clue where Max went, neither does Jessica. Jessica got married to this rich doctor 40 year old guy she met on Match.com, and moved out. She actually visited me the other day with a picture of an ultrasound. I asked her "Is that yours?!" and she smiled and said "Yeah". She's moving to the countryside.

You're probably wondering, "You and Zane. You and Zane what happened?!"

Well reader, that brings me to my current situation.

I stand in the door way of my empty apartment where I started my life. Zane and Scotty moved some boxes into the Uhaul outside, and I smiled. I looked around. I walked into the hallway into the master bedroom where Josh resided. "Bye Josh," the empty room echoed. I walked to the room by the front door. I opened the door. "Bye Jess. Bye Max," Tears lined my water line.

I went to my room.

"Bye Brynlee," My hand lingered on the door frame. I felt hands on my hips, and lips on my neck. "Ready?" Zane asked in my ear. I turned around, and held the zippers on his army green jacket. "Only if you are," I said, looking into his big brown eyes. He held my hips. "I've never been more ready for anything in my life," I laughed and kissed him. "Lets go," I smiled. I turned the lights off, and locked the door from the inside. I already left my key on the counter.

I took a deep breath and shut the locked door. I followed Zane down the stairs and hopped in the Uhaul with Kristen, Scotty, and Zane.

Zane and the guys got evicted from their new house (that they had to move into after getting evicted for some stupid prank Elton pulled), so Scotty, Kristen and I decided to all move in together. Kristen and I became super close after Jessica left. She was my saving grace.

"Are you so excited?!" she yelled, holding my hands. "Of course! Roomie," I smiled. Scotty drove us to the Hollywood Hills in the Uhaul. We all saved up (my dad pitched in too, not gonna lie) and we are all legal homeowners. We bought a beautiful, two story house, with a guest house that we're gonna rent out to Heath, Elton, maybe Carly and Erin, and....... Toddy.

Let me explain.

No one ever find out about that night where I passed out on top of him. I mean, I told Kristen but she wouldn't tell anyone. Toddy and I just kinda act like it never happened. Toddy's never been the same since.

"I'm gonna decorate everything so cute!" Kristen said. "Let's go to Ikea once we get there," I suggested.

"I'm so down for that," she smiled. Thirty minutes later we pulled up to see my jeep (my dad mailed it out), Zane's jeep, Kristen's BMW, and Scotty's Honda in the vast driveway. Me and Kristen got out and got into my Jeep. "Oh so you're going to let us do allllllllll the work?" Zane asked through my rolled down window. "Hmm, yes," He kissed me. "Drive safe," he said as Scotty opened the Uhaul. I backed out and drove down the winded roads. "So I wanna get some fake plants, and I think we need a new couch," Kristen said, going through a list on her phone. I took my now, grown out shoulder length bob, from the half up half down hairdo, and slipped my sunglasses on.

I made a lot of changes over the years.

For example, I got a tattoo. Well, I was told I got a tattoo. I got super drunk with everyone, and got a matching tattoo with Erin. We both got little flowers on our ribs. Yeah... I told myself I wouldn't drink ever again then I got my nipples pierced the next week on a drunken whim.
