After I got off the phone with Destiny, Colby and I went shoping for dresses since we both had parties to go to on Saturday night. After spending a good three hours at Forever 21, we had both found our dresses. I ultimately decided on a simple black dress with a sweetheart neckline and some strappy black heels to go along with it while Colby didn't have quite the same idea. She went with a bright pink, skintight dress and some cheetah print stilletos.

I sat still on my bed, my hair arranged in a wavy, half-up, half-down style, still in my sweatpants and an old T-shirt as I heard a knock on my door and stood to walk towards it. Drew stood still in the entrence of my doorway in his tuxedo. He looked absolutely amazing and I couldn't help but smile as I gave him a quick look over.

"Wow," I let out.

"Yeah," he laughed, "I'm kind of hot,"

I laughed, grabbing him by the hand and pulled him into the room, shutting the door behind him. His hands found their way to the sides of my face, holding it before pulling my face up to reach his. I felt the gentle brush of my lips against his before he moved his hands down onto my waist and into the back of my shirt, brushing his fingers against my bare back. His lips pulled apart from mine and moved along my cheek and onto my jawline before my eyes caught a glimpse of the clock.

"Oh my gosh!" I almost screamed, pulling my body away from Drew's.

I ran as fast as I could to the bathroom as Drew, noticing what exactly I was had realized, took a seat on my bed and laughed as I struggled to slide into my dress.

After a good five minutes of trying to zip it up myself, I decided to ask Drew for some help. I took a step out of the bathroom and towards Drew as he sat and turned around as I approached him.

I felt the warmth of his fingers travel through my body as his fingers made contact with the zipper and traveled up my back before reaching the top and moving his lips along my collarbone. I let my head fall to the side as I held my hair, enjoying the feel of his lips against my skin before muttering the words 'I love you' as he turned me to face him.

"We should probably get going," he smiled, faintly before turning towards the door and stepping out of the room.

I stood, confused for a moment before stepping to the side of my bed and grabbing my heels, quickly stepping to the side and strapping on the shoes and walking out of the room.

We arrived to the sound of blaring music and a room completely full of people that didn't at all resemble Destiny or Amanda or anybody that went along with them that was until two people came up behind me, wrapping their arms around me and laughing.

Destiny and Amanda stood across from me as Drew laughed as the three of us reaquainted.

"Oh my gosh!" screamed Amanda, "You look so good,"

"Thanks," I laughed, sarcastically flipping my hair before both of their eyes traveled to Drew.

"I'm assuming you're Drew," Amanda shot at him as he smiled at me.

"I am. It's nice to meet you,"

"You too. I'm Amanda and this is Destiny,"

"Oh so the soon-to-be bride," he smiled, "Congrats,"

"Thank you very much," she sweetly replied before glancing over Drew's shoulder to Robert. "If you guys don't mind, I think my fiance is calling me," she spoke before sidestepping away from the three of us. Then two as Amanda followed past her to get to Alex.

I stared up at Drew as he looked around the room. He was obviously distracted with something and I intended to find out what it was.

"Hey," I began, "What's going on?"

He licked his lips before smiling at me and planting a kiss on my forehead.

"Nothing's wrong. I'm here at this beautiful place with the beautiful girl that I love. Nothing is wrong,"

I smiled but I couldn't help but notice that he sounded more like he was convincing himself more than he was convincing me.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom," he spoke before dropping my hand and heading off in another direction.

I took a step towards Destiny and Amanda as I felt a tug against my arm, leading me into a different section of the already monumental room.

"What the fu-" I began as the light brought Alex's face into visability.

"What are you doing?" he asked, sounding angry and afraid at the same time.

"I,I was invited here?"

"Not what I meant," he sighed, "Why are you here with that guy?"

"That guy's name is Drew and he happens to be very nice," I shot back, crossing my arms in front of him, "and that's really none of your business anyways now is it?"

"You were sleeping with two of my best friends. I'm prettty sure that that qualifies me to check up on you every once in a while,"

I laughed, "Actually it was only one and second, it really doesn't,"

"Yeah. It kind of does,"

"Listen, Alex," I began, "I'm really not trying to be rude by saying this but," I paused, "get the hell out of my business. I am not doing anything wrong and I really don't understand why exactly you are being so weird,"

"Listen, I really, really don't think you understand," he began before Destiny frantically shot into the area we stood in.

Destiny shot me a quick glance before looking directly behind me.

I turned my head, unsure of what was happening and saw him.

I took a deep breath before beginning to speak.

"Austin,"
