Chapter 3

Zara's POV

'The day Kate gets to know I am Juliet, all her air of being Rosaline will vanish!' I thought as I danced around in my living room after closing the door behind Kate as she left for Oliver's party.

That thought grudgingly brought me back to thinking about the guy that I used to think was my best friend...rather the best guy in my life, after my Dad that is.

But who was I kidding! I needed Olly in my life.

I sighed as I sank into the couch. I loved this couch ever since Dad bought it for Christmas when I was four. The dark brown colour was in a way very soothing for me. It still is.

I remember how Seri would keep jumping on it when no one was looking & how we both,  along with Olly spent ages having 'Movie nights' while sitting or drooling on it!

Oh God! Why do I land up connecting everything with him! I gave out a little shriek in frustration.

He did nothing but all the wrong things! How can he just hurt someone and then pretend as if nothing happened! Pathetic!

He was the last guy from whom I expected this! But somethings can't be helped.

I can't even help him out of this mess because this time I just can't support him. Even if he has been my best friend for the past 2 years, I still can't forget that he is a heartbreaker.

Just because someone puts their faith in you does not mean you can play around with them!

But the bottom line is that even after all this I miss him.

Suddenly, I felt my cell phone vibrate. That distracted me from my train of thoughts.

The screen showed *1 text msg received from Seri*.

The message read:

"Hey, missed you at the party...all of us did. Especially Olly! Need to talk to you..let me know when you free!

XOXO"

I don't think I was in a condition to talk to anyone at that moment.

I typed her a message saying that I'm tired and will call her the next day and wished her a good night.

Then I dragged my sleepy self up the stairs, to my room and changed into my PJs and snuggled up in the sheets. For once, I was glad to be sleepy because I was having sleepless nights since quite a few days and had started suspecting that I had Insomnia.

'Please God let this all be a sad nightmare when I wake up tomorrow morning! Please!!' I prayed silently before putting my phone on the bedside table. Then I shut my eyes, to block out the sad dream that my life had turned into and to find solace, to find peace, to find happiness.

But who could go to sleep with so much on their mind?

So I lay awake till 2 a.m. wondering if Oliver actually missed me or if he even noticed that I hadn't turned up. At that moment, I didn't know what to think or believe. Maybe Seri was right, I should have gone. But no, then it would have been as if I had forgiven him. And I certainly could not have let that happen.

Probably I was losing my mind..or I guess I already had!
