Excuse my thousands of typos I wrote this in less than an hour.

The only good thing about being away from the boys and having the house to myself was that I could walk around the house like I used to before they moved in. I had always slept in my underwear and walked around the house half naked until the boys came along. I didn't like wearing clothes around the house and I was finally able to eat breakfast in my underwear. Another thing I could do with the boys away was write to Sammy. I hadn't written to him in months and it felt good to write everything down.

Sean was out of the hospital and was at his house with his girlfriend. I promised him that I would go to his house after Jocy's birthday party which I was invited to, surprisingly. I didn't know Jocy considered me a friend because we hardly interacted. That meant I had to go to the mall and buy her a present. I had Niall's present for her but I didn't want to take credit for it because it was a beautifully expensive gift.

I went to my room and put on a faded purple t-shit with a rose printed on it, washed out shorts and white flip flops. After doing my make up I checked my phone to see I had a message from both Niall and Jocy.

From: Niall

Don't give Jocy the present until the end of the party when I FaceTime her.

From: Jocy

Cece! I forgot to mention that my party has a pretty in pink theme so wear only pink. Love ya!

I cringed at Jocy's message and grabbed my wallet and keys, driving off to the mall.

It was hard to shop for someone when the only thing you knew about them was their name and that they liked your friend. I searched around every store, thinking I could find something Jocy might like.

"Hi ma'am do you need he- holy shit you're Cece Diaz." Someone gasped when I turned to face them.

"Hi, yeah I'm searching for something to give to a seventeen year old girl that I know nothing about."

"Every girl likes purses." She suggested.

"That's perfect! Why didn't I think of that?" I followed to girl to the back of the store where she showed me a whole shelf full of purses.

"This is our best seller, but anything by Louis Vuitton is good." She told me. I decided on buying the bag she suggested and had her wrap it too. After paying for it, I thanked her and went to look for something pink. I ended up finding a pink dress at American Apparel that I would just wear with the pink heels Chanel had sent me last month.

When I got home, I had twenty minutes to get ready for Jocy's party. I changed into my dress and heels before running to the bathroom to quickly and sloppily curly my hair. I applied my usual make up and pink lipstick before grabbing the presents, getting in my car, and driving to Jocy's house.

What I thought would be a small group of people hanging out and eating cake turned out to be a huge back yard full of people drinking and dancing. I set my present on the table of gifts, keeping Niall's present in my purse, and went to go greet Jocy.

"Cece you made it!" She cheered, pulling me into a hug.

"Of course! Are you enjoying your party?"
