Chapter 53

30th October, 2014

5 weeks after the break up at Nearest Coffee shop.

I've switched on my phone again. I don't use the phone Harry gave me anymore. It reminds me of him. I still love him and I'll give the world for him.

Everything has went back to normal except everything. I'm still broken. I scored well in my English exam and Mr. Witherspoon is quite Happy about that. Bridget is Bridget again. She is bubbly. Eleanor has come back. She is prettier than ever. She knows about me and Harry but she doesn't talk about it.

Bridget has a New crush and fortunately I haven't received any threatening messages from Ricky lately. I think he kept his promise and left Harry alone. I see his pictures in the newspapers every other day. Recently he has been rumoured to be dating A famous personality, I won't say the name. I know who she is. Maybe he has moved on. well, good for him. I was JUST A CURSE on him. He is better off without me. I am happy that he is happy. That's all I want.

"Hey! Dead brain!" Bridget calls me.

"Yeah."

"What have you decided to dress as on Halloween?" She asks as she and Eleanor sit in front of me.

"Why would I dress up for Halloween?"

I frown.

"What? You don't dress up ?" Eleanor opens her eyes wide open. It's not like I've grown two heads or something.

"Kids dress up for Halloween. It's not my thing." I play with my cup.

"Girl, you haven't seen our Halloween party yet. You're gonna have so much fun." They give each other a secret look.

What are they planning?

"No, guys no. I'm not going anywhere."

"Oh c'mon Av! It'll be so much fun!" Eleanor squeezes my hand.

"Please, call me Aviana."

"Okay, Aviana. Please you have to come! Bridget throws the best Halloween parties!"

"No, please guys."

"Oh you'll come." Bridget waves her hands.

We'll see.

"Why aren't you drinking anything?!" Bridget shouts over music.

Yes. She convinced me to come. I couldn't say no to her. She is dressed as sexy nurse. She's got the body. Eleanor is dressed as cat woman and she looks amazing. I wonder if Louis would've seen her like this. And the thought takes me back to the time when Harry and I... Stop!

"I'll have something strong!" I shout to the bartender.

"Going heavy ,eh?" He says.

"Yeah!"

"Comin right up!" He does his little dance and plays with the bottles. He juggles them. He is a professional.

"There you go." he slides 2 shots in front of me.

I don't know what I'm drinking but it's soothing. It numbs my brain. My throat burns and now my chest burns too but it's a good feeling. After 8 shots of the same thing I can practically see everything shaking in front of me. I see neon lights dancing. I smile.

I stumble and walk into the crowd. Somebody steps on my dress as it is too long and I fall. Ouch! Who's idea was it to dress as a vampire and wear a cape?! Oh well, me.

I work myself up on my feet and make my way to our table. I see a hazy shadow of someone sitting in our place. I assume it's Bridget and sit next to her.
