"we're back" i hear from the living room, as i'm outback making sure the music is ready and the tables are set up, and the fire pit lit.
daniel, olivia, and charlie make their way outback to see what needs to be done. cause the party starts in 5 minutes.
"hey can i talk to you" daniel says to me.
"yeah sure, what's up."
"well we never really formally introduced ourselves. and i would like to get to know a pretty girl like yourself." he blushes.
"haha yeah i guess you're right, what would you like to know. i'm an open book so ask away" i joke.
"well first maybe we could get a drink and sit, maybe by the fire place, talk ?"
looks like we got a romantic one on our hands ladies and gentlemen. and i'm not complaining one bit, he's not too bad looking himself.
we grab some drinks, red solo cups with clear shining liquid in them, let the guests in, and make our way over to the fire pit to talk.
"okay we got our drinks and we're by the fire just like you asked sooo what do you want to know" i giggle.
"well first, i never caught your name, age, the basic things i should know about you"
"gotcha, well my name is liv andrews, i am 18, my favorite color is yellow and i am going to the university of florida on a softball scholarship, studying physical therapy and athletic training, with a minor in literature."
way to go liv, you just told a somewhat stranger your whole life story. in one long run on sentence. 10/10 girly.
"well i see we have more in common then i thought"
"oh is that s-"
"HEY RIDGEFIELD, ARE YOU GUYS READY TO PARTY" ki yells over her microphone.
"maybe we should talk somewhere else" i suggest.
"yeah, i agree"
me and daniel make our way upstairs, or we try. before olivia and johnny stop us from going any further then one step.
"and just where exactly do you two think you're going ?" i don't think i've ever seen johnny so straight faced.
"johnny i'll handle this, and just where exactly do you two think your going ? there's a party right behind you you should tend to."
i pull olivia aside to explain to her the situation and that we wanted to get to know each other a little more, and she was way more then just understanding.
"well have fun, and do everything i would do." she winked.
after we went upstairs, we went to my room. not to do anything, just to talk. and that's exactly what we did.
we talked for hours and hours, about our lives, our parents, our favorite food, basically anything. we talked and talked until the party was over.
then we kept talking, no matter how drunk we were, how bold and open we felt. it was like we knew each other our entire lives.
i guess we got tired and fell asleep, i woke up under the warm blanket, his arms around me. and my clothes still on, thank god. but the hangover kicked in and so did my will to fall back asleep.
"ALRIGHT LOVE BIRDS WAKE UP" ki yells, while busting the door open.
"we've got a house to clean, and you two are helping, so pop some tylenol and get downstairs" olivia says.
we take some medicine and head down stairs, being handed a trash bag and some cleaning supplies, cause my house was trashed and my dad was coming home for a few days in just a couple hours.
— a few hours later
"hey liv, shouldn't your dad be home by now" zach asks.
"yeah i don't know where he i-"
*ding*
1 new message from dad
hey kiddo, this investment may take the rest of the summer i'm so sorry, see you soon love you bug.
"he's staying in cali for the rest of the summer" i say with pain and hurt in my voice.
"liv, your birthday party is in three days. he's missing it? he already missed your birthday." i can tell olivia feels sorry for me.
"well there's nothing i can do"
i go up to my room, eager for some alone time. it's hard having your dad miss your 18th birthday and the party. especially when he promised.
*knock knock*
"go away zach"
"actually it's daniel"
"oh come in"
daniel walks in, messy hair, joggers, and a white t shirt.
"you look like you need a hug." he smirks.
i didn't know why, but in that moment i just started crying, more then ever before. maybe it was all the pain and hurt from my dad breaking his promises.
daniel walks over and lays on my bed, bringing me close to him, me laying my head on his chest.
i felt safe in that moment and i didn't want it to stop
