The Cabin

"Its going to work out," my mom said hugging me tightly as I softly cried, "he'll be home before you know it."

"Liz," I looked up to see one of my best guy friends, Alex standing in front of me with a concerned look.

"Hey Al." I said softly.

"You're still sad and grumpy?" He asked in a questioning voice.

"Uh, yeah I guess." I said shrugging my shoulders. Alex was quiet for a second before he snapped his fingers like he got an idea.

"You're going to a party with me tonight," he demanded as he grabbed my hand and pulled me off of my bed.

"Wait, what?" I asked confused as I followed him down the stairs.

"Logan Brown is throwing a huge party for seniors, and we are going, well," he looked me up and down, "after we get you an outfit."

"Lizzy?" I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard the familiar voice.
