Chapter 3

I woke up entirely too late because of a good dream about Brennen that would never happen, which made it ten times worse because I spent most of my Saturday crying, eating ice cream, and floating lifelessly in the pool in the middle of our apartments. 

My dogs must have sensed my mood, because they didn't bother me at all unless it was to comfort me or go pee. 

After my period of self-pitying and sadness, I jumped in the shower and put mountains of make up on to hide my tear stained face and bags under my eyes. It was 4:30 already and it took me a half hour to get to there house, so I was good.

I kissed each of my beloved dogs, then came out to the lobby after riding the elevator alone staring at a couple of mes who still looked horrible, I chose to avert my attention to the ground.

Skylar came from his desk and put his hand on my shoulder, "what's wrong baby?" He cooed. 

"I kind of broke up with my boyfriend, we're still "friends" but I don't know." I held back tears at the thought of my make up. 

"Well I heard that kid yesterday who gave you a ride when I was taking out the trash, so have fun and if you need a designated driver, you know my number." Skylar kissed my forehead and nudged me a little. 

I trudged to my car, driving in silence the whole way, because if the wrong lyric/song came up, I was start balling. I was delicate today. 

I was greeted by the beautiful Circa and Elton who called her back in as I approached the door.

"Hey, Y/n. You come to help set up?" He asked in a friendly tone.

"No, I came to stand against a wall and watch you." I snapped, instantly regretting it, but he seemed to understand. 

Guess word travels fast.

I helped put up different decorations and blow up the board that goes in the pool, then put out food and set up a playlist for until the DJ gets there at 8. After it was all done, the guys were cheering and changed into more suitable outfits, which I had come prepared in. 

People began piling in and I noticed, to my dismay, Brennen was with Maggie, but he looked stressed most of the time I saw him even though he only saw me one of the three times. 

I weaved through the crowd until I found Zane and Heath in the kitchen with water bottles. 

"Hey, baby!" Heath said softly. 

Has everyone already heard??!!

"Hey." I muttered, not really wanting to snap at them or they'd become Doctor Phil. 

"How's everything going?" Zane asked gently. 

"Terrible, I'm not in a party mood." I told them honestly, because I had begun to trust them.

"Aw, me neither honestly, feeling a little sick." Heath said half smiling. 

"Hey, if anyone asks, I am still here, I am going to the front with all the cars, I don't want to be bothered." I told them wearily and they both nodded.

"We gotchu girl." Heath added.

I, again, weaved my way through the crowd and this time went right past Brennen, making direct contact for a good two seconds and brushing shoulders. I turned back a little and he was facing all the way towards me with Maggie impatiently tugging at his arm. I decided against it and kept walking.
