It was funny how I had forgotten about Justin, the thing I said I wouldn't do. I had deleted all his music, photos from my laptop and phone and erased my memories of him from my mind, even though he slowly crept back. 

School and homework were enough to keep my mind pre-occupied, without Justin interrupting. I'm glad I didn't tell Layla about Justin or any of my friends for that matter. They didn't need to know, I didn't want the school to know. 

Since that night when I let go of my feelings for Justin,  he hadn't called or messaged me. 

Some part of me hoped he would have. I held onto that small hope with all my might as it slowly grew smaller. I thought he had developed feelings for me to? I was wrong to think that. 

Here I was doing my homework and Justin had managed to squirm his way into my thoughts. 

My phone buzzed, waking me from my thoughts.

Hi honey!! We have Sarah's birthday tonight!! I'm excited!! What time will you be over to get ready? xo 

I smiled at Layla's enthusiasim. I really didn't want to go to this party, but Layla really wanted to and I had promised her.

I sighed, Be over in 20 minutes xo 

I jumped up from my bed and grabbed my bag for tonight. With a kiss on the cheek from Mom, I was in my car and on the way to Layla's. 

******

I had managed to squirm into my jeans and a green peplim shirt with some black heels. 

Sarah and I weren't as close as the rest of the group, but she was a good friend, It was only right I went to the party. 

Layla looked stunning as usual in a white dress, fitted at the waist with lace circling the bottom. I envied her looks. 

By the time we arrived at the party, most of the people were there. 

I made my way over to the birthday girl and my group of friends. As if on cue I was handed a drink of vodka. I sipped at it, pretending to enjoy the taste, when I really did not like the taste much. I faked a smile as I looked up from my drink to see the girls staring at me. 

We made our way over to a group of boys. I hopefully looked around to see if Justin was one of them. I stopped in my tracks and thought how stupid I was being. 

Justin is a pop star, he doesn't come to parties like this. He doesn't care about you any more. 

I repeated this over in my head. 

Doest care about you any more seem to linger more than the other parts. 

An arm around my shoulder shocked me as I looked up to see a familiar face. Billy Hopkins was slouched over me, with the smell of alcohol drifting from his mouth as he gave me a sloppy kiss on the cheek. As I tried to back away his grip around my shoulders tightened as he pulled me in for a tight hug. 

"I've missed ya sweetheart." He said as he stroked my hair with his free hand, the other holding a bottle of alcohol. 

I looked around for help, noticing that my friends had moved towards the house. 

"Lay-!" I managed to get out before Billy placed his fingers over my lips. 

He was drunk. I was frightened.
