***8:37 PM***

The house was packed. My mom had more friends than I had years of being alive.

The Party was going great. I was sitting in the corner in the backyard near the snacks minding my own business, it was already night time and I wasn't hanging out with Jay because GG was hogging him. I looked around and that's when I saw it. GG and Jay making out. I need a hospital because honestly, I swear my heart began failing, I ran into the house and went into my room only to be greeted by a couple making out.

What was this a high school party?!

***5:23 PM***

I was wearing faded blue shorts and a white v-neck t-shirt with a pastel pink knitted sweater with black Suedette lace up wedge ankle boots, I know I don't dress up like this all the time but for some reason, I felt like I had to. 

The place was filling up quickly it was getting crowded, someone began passing out beers at some point.

"Hey, I was looking for you," I turned and saw Jay looking at me.

"Oh, hey Jay did you need something?" I asked staring into his beautiful shiny gray eyes.

"Yeah, actually, I've been wanting to tell you this for a-" he got cut off by GG.

"Hey, I've been looking for you, let's go get drunk!" she said dragging Jay by the arm.

I watched them go. I was feeling empty for some reason. I walk around greeting and talking to whoever I could so I wouldn't be lonely.

***Current Time***

I ran out of my room and outside with tears falling down my face, I didn't care who saw. I ran to a familiar place.

I sat by the log crying to myself like I'd done years ago.

There used to be a question I would ask myself when I was younger. 'How can you put color into a black and white photograph?' After all those years I finally know the answer. You can't. You can't add color to a black and white photograph, but you can add a colorful frame to replace what it lacks. 

I was that black and white Photograph and Jay was probably my colorful frame but I was too late. He found someone better and she already has color so they are perfect for each other.
