~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I get home that night after school I notice my mom has left me a note saying that her and my dad have gone out for dinner, so that I mostly have the house to myself aside from my dog Lady, and my sister Isla (eye - la). I take of my shoes and make my way upstairs dropping my backpack off in my room, I then head for my sisters room. I don't bother knocking, and I walk right in to see her lying on her bed watching Youtube and snuggling with Lady. I walk over and crawl on the bed with them.

"So what do you want for dinner?" I ask, gently smoothing Isla's long brown hair off her face.

"Can we get pizza? Please?" She pleads pulling her face away from the screen long enough to give me puppy dog eyes.

"Ya sure," I say. I would have said yes to her whether or not she pleaded. My sister and I are really close we tell each other everything about out lives, who we like when we wanna get married, who's being a bitch at school and so on. She's only two years younger than me so it's easy to get along and relate to each other.

"Oh and by the way Carla and Olivia are coming over tonight, and you know what that means..." I say laughing as I roll of of Islas bed giving Lady a loving pet as she nuzzles my hand.

"Bread sticks!" Isla shouts as she jumps up onto her knees on the bed with a wide grin.

Carla and Olivia show up around 5 o'clock and I order the pizza shortly after. Now we're all sitting on my bedroom floor stuffing pepperoni or vegetarian pizza as per Olivia's request and bread sticks in our faces.

"Isla, how was your first day of grade ten girl?" Carla asks as she splits a cheese bread stick in half and watches as the cheese oozes out from the center.

"Mediocre, I got stuck with Mrs. White for french class and I already wanna drop out" she says rolling her eyes. Olivia giggles, Mrs. White was her grade 10 french teacher too so i'm assuming she's definitely able to relate.

"I'll give you my tests to study off of cause that woman does not know how to make a proper review sheet." Olivia says as she stands up and walks to my bedroom door.

"God Luna I love your friends" Isla says rolling onto her back with her hand on her stomach.

"I know they're pretty awesome," I say smiling at Carla as Olivia has already left for the kitchen. "But these awesome friends of mine need to get their asses in gear because it is 8:30 and I know Carla's gonna take at least an hour to get ready so let's get moving ladies" I say grabbing the now empty pizza boxes and standing up. I head for the door as Carla groans but rises to her feet to head to my desk to begin the hour long process that is getting her makeup on. I head downstairs and can hear Carla and Isla talking and laughing the whole way, I'm happy that my sister and my friends can get along because Isla shes family by blood, and Olivia and Carla, well they're family too maybe not through blood but something else that is almost just as strong. When I reach the kitchen which has been recently remodeled for what seems like the tenth time, I see Olivia sitting at our island with her head in her hands.

"Olivia, what's wrong?" I drop the boxes on the counter and go to sit beside her gently putting my hand on her back.

"I feel so stupid" she says still keeping her face hidden in her hands.
"Whoa, O, you are not stupid first of all, second off why do you feel that way?" I say, ow i'm getting concerned, she's always so happy and chill, she believes in all of the star sign predictions and palm readings, so she's forever the optimist of the group.

"It's Liam and me," she says finally lifting her head and resting her chin in her palms instead.

"We agreed that we would stay together through university ya know, because it's not like we've ever had any major problems in our relationship, and we are still in love you know and not just the type of love that settles in once you've been with someone for a long time, but the type of love that gives you butterflies when you see the person, and their smile literally makes you blush and makes your heart hurt. That type of love, and yet now he says he wants to 'consider his options'" she says the last part using air quotes to emphasize how much bullshit that is. She now turns to look at me her eyes shiny from threatening tears, her cheeks red and her lips formed in a full on pout.

"Olivia, look I can't pretend like I know what you're going through or what exactly you should do, but I do know who you are and who Liam is and that if he wants space it's probably because he needs to see that in comparison to you and you two together that all other options suck. You've been together since grade nine he he has only ever been with you, so maybe, just maybe giving each other space might give both of you the experiences you need to realize that you're better together than apart. And look you don't have to agree, that's just how I see it!" I say rubbing my hand on her back to soothe her nerves, I know she's probably scared that Liam will want to break up and that he'll move on and forget her, but I just want her to know that a) she doesn't need him to be happy and b) They need space to actually last any longer in their relationship.

"You know you always give the best advice, you should consider being a tarot card reader" She says making me laugh. I look at the clock on my wall and stand up grabbing Olivia's hand it is now 8:40 and we need to make sure Olivia doesn't look like she's been crying before we leave.

"Come on," I say tugging her hand, "lets go get you ready."

Once the three of us are done getting ready it's 9:38 pm and we made pretty decent time. Carla's got a full glam look going and her hair in a high wavy ponytail, she's got a white tube top on with some black high waisted shorts. Olivia's wearing a white blouse with blue decals and light blue ripped jeans. I'm wearing a tight, red off the shoulder shirt with black ripped jeans. Isla takes a few pictures of us outside before we leave after Carla begs her to so she can post one on Instagram, Carla always complains about never posting on insta, or not having a good enough feed. Olivia and I oblige but stop Carla after about 20 different poses. When we finally get there after a three minute walk the parties already in full swing its 9:49 pm now and there's probably around 60 people there. We start walking through the party and eventually make our way to the basement, and what you may be asking is the first thing we see when we get to the basement? It's Hayley Davis practically drooling all over James as they are in the middle of what looks like an intense conversation.
