One Night || Shawn Mendes ||

Get a grip Katherine. This is your life now, alone, sad and miserable. Only you could waste your time on a guy who never was truly about you or the relationship you depicted in your own lovestruck head. For the last three years you were his doormat. Your free now!

This was my thought process for months on end, always crying and wishing for something different to come out of my miserable state. I stopped being the fun and loving me for months, my friends notice and my parents as well. But at some point everyone stopped trying to save me from my own downward spiral.

So here I am, down and the pit of it and now I suddenly feel a realization of self.

"Kat, today is the day you throw all of his things out and let go for good. Forever." I gave myself another pep talk looking into my vanity mirror smiling at myself and tying my hair up before getting up and grabbing the box on the corner of my bed with all his crap inside.

I walked to my front door, opening it widely and throwing it in the garbage chute down the hallway of my complex building.

I wiped my hands together and I let out a huge sigh of relief, "good riddance asshole!" I headed back into my studio apartment feeling like a huge weight was lifted off me suddenly.

I felt good.
Finally.

I opened my living room curtains allowing the beautiful Pasadena sunshine into my apartment. The sun hitting my skin made me feel amazing, like it gave me this energy that I haven't had in months but felt like years.

A ring came through my apartment from the front door. I turned to the sound and I hesitated towards the doorway, I looked through the peephole and I saw my bestest friend in the whole world Vanessa  standing with a wine bottle and some tacos From our favorite Mexican joint down the way.

I smiled as I opened the door widely.

"You spoke to stomach. Hi honey." I grabbed the bags and kissed her cheek twice.

She walked in looking at me weirdly, "Are you High? Did you finally start smoking like I suggested?!" She asked as she walked into the kitchen.

I laughed as I followed her, "Nooo, I woke up this morning and I felt okay today. Better then I have in awhile and I finally took his box of things and threw it out!" I placed the bags on the counter and I started to open the wine, the screw shot out and Britney shouted, "Oooopahhhh!"

We laughed and I drank straight out the bottle and Britney egged me on as she got two plates out the top cabinet and began taking the food out of the bag and placing it on plates for us.

"Finally you got rid of that douches crap! I must admit I wished we would've burned it on his doorstep but this is a huge milestone! So I'm fucking happy for you babe." She took a swig if the wine as she passed me my food and I couldn't help but laugh.

The night I called Vanessa and told her about him breaking up with me over the phone while he was 3000 miles away from me with his now girlfriend at the time, Nessa wanted to go to his place and drop all his things at his front door and set it all on fire. I was so distraught And heartbroken but still a sap of shit for him I couldn't imagine doing that, I still held on to a hope of us working it out but now I kinda wish we did do it.

"Can we do something tonight? Anything. I need to celebrate my freedom." I sat down and I took a bite of my taco, it was so good and messy and I loved it!

Nessa nodded her head so fast as she chewed on her food quickly taking a huge breath, "Yes! Fuck yes! We have to hit the city tonight! I have the perfect thing. My co worker Adam, the perv he gave me some tickets to some private celebrity event thing in LA. We should totally go! It could be killer." She sounded so enthusiastic and eager which made me more happy to oblige.

"Okay, sounds like a date."

We finished eating our tacos and drinking our wine out of the bottle and talking about tonight's huge plans and how this was a huge coming out celebration for me.

I was quite honestly nervous and happy at the same time, half of me still second guessed if I was ready for this but the other half was already shouting at me, it's now or never Kat!

Vanessa was napping on the sofa, by the time I was done cleaning the kitchen and putting the leftover in Tupperwares into the fridge. We had drunk two bottles of wine by the time Nessa started to feel a little tipsy so she wanted to nap before we got ready for tonight.

I was also feeling a little tipsy more than her, only because I hadn't drank in such awhile. I use to be a champ in the past, now I was What Vanessa would call a major light weight. I walked to my bedroom and quickly decided on taking a nap as well. Before my head could comfortably hit the pillow I was already off into a slumber.

A//N: I have edited Britney into Vanessa & I changed her character visual as well ***
