Four weeks past, and I still wasn't back to normal.

My friends had pretty much given up on helping me.

They moved on with their own lives. I feel like I'm stuck in a daze and everyone else is fine. My phone started ringing. It brought me back to reality.

"Hey Carrie, it's Casey. I'm inviting everyone in the neighborhood to a party at my house tonight. You should really come; clear your mind from Kian."

"I don't know-"

"Come on Carrie! You deserve to have fun! Please please please!"

"Fine! I submit to the peer pressure! I'll go!"

"Yay!" She squeaked.

"See you tonight." She hung up and I thought about what to wear.

I tried on a new royal blue chiffon dress that ended just above my knees and pinched in at the waist.

I paired it with a black leather jacket, and black combat boots.

I put on my arrow necklace and silver bangles on my wrist.

Straightening my waves, I did a half up-half down look, like Ariana Grande.

For makeup, I applied smokey eyeshadow and my favorite peach lip gloss.

I straightened myself out and looked in the mirror. I took a deep breath and got into my car.

Pulling up to the party, I immediately looked for a friend. I didn't want to seem alone, in case Kian was here.

I found Lia, Gianna and Kristina, Connor, and JC talking in a corner.

"How are you?" Kristina asked, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Trying to move on." I made my best effort to smile. They looked at me sentimentally.

I saw Connor glance across the room.

"Oh shit." He muttered under his breath.

"What-" I went to turn in the direction he was looking, but they stopped me.

"Carrie, don't. Its not worth it. Lets go get something to drink." Gianna blurted. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Gianna shoot Connor a look.

Everyone shoved me into the kitchen and towards the coolers.

Grabbing a soda, I pulled out my iPhone.

I went on YouTube and found myself search for Kian's channel.

I clicked most recent videos and didn't like what I saw. My heart dropped into my stomach.

Swallowing hard, I turned off my phone and put it away. Is that what they didn't want me to see?

Kian and Andrea had gotten back together and posted a boyfriend/girlfriend tag about it.

That must be it. They must be at the party together. I needed to find Kian and talk to him. This is not fair. It's only been one month since we broke up, how could he?!

Rage boiled in my veins.

I spotted someone and tried to calm down. Michael. He was standing alone in a little corner. I approached him, tears beginning spilling over my eyes.

He deserved an explanation.

"I'm so sorry for that night at the club. I was so upset about Kian. I wanted revenge and I used you. I really didn't mean-"

Before I knew what was happening, he forced me onto his lips.

"Sometimes that's the only way I can get you to stop talking." He smiled.
