Isle of flightless birds

6. Don't threaten me with a good time

"Helena?" I question. "What are you doing here? I already told you that I'm not going back." I tell her and start to walk towards my bike. "Thea, wait. Just tell me why" She take my arm. "Reasons." I touch my necklace as always when I think of him.

~flashback~
"Thea, I got you a present." He says and I run towards his voice. "Where?" I ask him as he lifts me up in his arms. "Here." He takes out a red box with a blue bow on it. I open the box and see a knife and a thin golden chain to my ring. "I saw it and immediately thought of you." He takes of my old chain and put the new one on instead as I pick up the black shiny knife and gives him another hug. "Thanks."
~end of flashback~

"Anyways, I'm not here to take you back. I'm here to tell you that I have joined Dave's section. I'm not working directly with the big boss." She smiles. "Okay, good. I'm going to this party today, do you want to come with?" I ask her to change the subject and because I know she loves to party. "Sure." She smiles. "Where's..." I start but she interrupts me. "He got caught up with something." She says knowing exactly who I'm talking about and I nod. "He will get here in a month." She says as we start walking to my motorcycle.

"Hey Gabe, can my friend come with us?" I ask as soon as Gabriel answers his phone. "Sure, be ready in half an hour." He says. "Okay we will." I laugh and then he end the phone call. "You can borrow something from me if you want." I say and Helena nods. "What are you wearing?" She asks and walk into my closet. "The black dress on the door." I say and Helena looks out of the closet. "Then I will wear this." She says and show me a laced black crop top and a pair of black jeans. "Let's do our makeup now." She says and I laugh. "Sure."

We hear a honk outside and we run down the stairs and put on our shoes. Helena takes her black leather jacket and then we walk out to Gabriel's car. "Hi Gabe. This is Helena." I say and Gabriel nod. "Gabriel." He says and open the door to his car and me and Helena jumps in. "Wait?" Helena exclaims choked. "Is this Gabriel? That Gabriel?" She asks and I nod. "Omg. You're Gabriel." Helena says and I laugh. "That's my name." Gabriel laugh and Helena looks at me. "He's hotter than you described." She whisper to me and Gabriel laugh. "Hotter?" He asks and wiggle his eyebrows. "Jupp." Helena flirts and I punch her in the arm. "Ouch, what was that for?" She asks with a weird face. "Well I don't know. Maybe a reminder of your boyfriend." I laugh. "Why? It wasn't like we were having sex or something." Helena says. "I'm just kidding." She laughs after she sees my face.

"Thea." Nate walks up to me when we get inside the big house the party is in. "You made it." He says and hugs me. I would recognize a drunk person when I see one and I know he's really drunk. "You're drunk Nate." I say and he takes my hand and drags me to the bar. "Slightly." He laugh and gives me a cup of something. "Do you want to dance?" He asks and I shake my head. "Not drunk enough." I say and he laughs. I drink up the liquid in the cup in one second and Nate gives me another cup.

"Totally drunk enough." I whisper in Nate's ear. After he gave me a second cup he disappeared. "Good. I like this song." He smiles and starts to walk away as I stumble after him. "You're sexy." Nate whispers in my ear as we start to dance. "Tell me something I don't know." I smirk back. "Well, my real name is Nathan." He says and looks me in the eyes. "I already knew that, Nathan Davids." I say. I remember Gabriel tell me that sometime before. "How did you know?" Nate asks confused. "Magic." I laugh. "Makes sense." He answer. "Really?" I ask him confused. I didn't think he believed in magic. "No, not really." He laughs. "I'm going to find out how you know one day, Thea." He says. "Is your name Thea? You don't look like a Thea." Nate says. "No, I just call myself Thea." I explain and he nods. "What's your real name then?" He asks. "I will never tell you." I laugh. "I told you my name." Nate says pretending to be sad. "I might tell you one day. But not today." I say and hug him. "Nice talk. But now I need more beer." I say and starts to walk away.
