After the cops arrive Carter was arrest for drug possession and so did other people. The party was shut down and people went home. Sadie puts her arm threw mine and lays her head on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry that your party was ruined." Sadie mumbled.
"Nah it wasn't ruined. It was one of the best parties I ever went to." I lied
"Well we at least we still have a cane and your presents let me go get them out the car." Sadie said as she walked to her car.
I sit at the table. She comes back with three boxes wrapped up. Then walks outside to get the cake and lays in front of me.
"Aw it's a picture of us on the cake. It's so beautiful. Thank you." I said as I took a picture of it.
"Here open your presents." Sadie said while pushing the boxes toward me.
I opened the big box first and it was a pillow and a blanket with us on it. The second box was a Gucci purse and the last one was an American Horror Story phone case. I started to laugh.
"Really Sadie? Did you get this for yourself." I said still laughing.
"Nope it's for you. I know how much you 'love' American Horror Story." She said laughing back.
I gave her a hug and got a knife to cut the cake.  As we are the cake there was nothing but silence but it was a good silence. I look up at Sadie and she does the same and we smile at each other.

Emily was pretty much wasted and alien boy was just watching tv while I was just looking at my text message from Sadie. I wanted to read it so bad but I couldn't be myself to it.
"You guys are literally the best. Even though you Fanta don't drink." Emily slurred as she held her beer up to the air.
Then her head feel on the table. Wow that was quick.
"Um Fanta do you want to get out of here?" Alien boy asked as he got out of booth.
"Yeah I would like that. Wanna go to Starbucks?"
"Yeah."
We walked out of the bar and to Starbucks which we saw before we came to the bar. When we finally get there alien boy and I got a Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino. I payed this time of course. We left and walked around and just talked.
"I'm sorry for the things I said it was uncalled for. I just thought for once that a really pretty girl wanted to be around me." Alien boy apologized.
"I guess I should apologize too huh? I'm sorry that I was pushing you away, but you are a stranger so I had a right to." I said as I laughed.
"I guess you are right. It's weird that some stranger that try's to force you to hang with them." He started to laugh too.
We continue to have small talk until alien boy got a call.
"One sec." He said as he walks over to the window. I nod and walk over to the bench across from the window.
"I know. It's not my fault that the damn snowstorm cancelled my flight. I'll be in Los Angles first thing tomorrow okay Kathryn! Now call my parents and tell them I made it safely into the U.S. before I have to fire you damnit!" Alien boy yelled threw the phone.
Okay I need to get up and just walk around. Before I got up alien boy ends the call and turns toward me.
"Sorry about that... My manager is just a little crazy." He said.
"You have a manager? What do you need a manager for?" I asked.
"Oh wouldn't you like to know." He replied laughing.
"Oh right we can't give out personal information..." I said frowning.
"How about this I'll ask you a question and you ask me a question and so on."
"Okay deal. Why do you need a manager?" I asked
"I'm auditioning for a movie. Who is Sadie?"
"She was my best friend... What's the movie called?"
"Was? The movie is called Sincerely, Yours. It's a cheesy romance movie."
"Oh and I'm not ready to talk about Sadie..."
"That's perfectly fine. Whenever your ready I'm here to listen." He sounded sincere.
"Thanks and I hope you get the spot you are auditioning for." I said.
"Thanks." He said smiling.
After a moment of silence he asked another question.
"Does the text message have to do with why y'all are best friends?"
"Can we not ask anymore questions..."
"Um sure."
"Okay thanks." I said.
As we walked around we didn't say much. I began to think about what he said from the call to the movie. We're going to be on the same plane oh no.
"Who's the movie director?" I asked breaking their silence.
"I thought we weren't asking anymore questions?"
"Well I— I just wanted to know."
"Let's me a deal okay? I'll tell you the movie director and you tell me what's your favorite American Horror Story season. Okay?" He said as he tried to make a deal.
"Um fine but you're not gonna like my answer."
"Oh no." He said looking worried.
"Well are you going to tell me who the movie director is?"
"Oh right the movie director. His name is William Banks."
Oh my god. My dad is the fucking movie director. Why hasn't my dad told me about this movie? I breathe in and breathe out.
"I don't like American Horror Story." I said.
"But your—"
"Yes my phone case is an AHS case but Sadie gave it to me as a birthday..."
"Okay what happened to Sadie? Like this doesn't make no senses. If you aren't friends anymore why keep her stuff and why not read that message?"
"I said I don't want to take about it."
"You can't always be running away from this Fanta! One day you will have to talk about it. Why not talk about it now? You would probably feel better."
I started to think about it he was right. I couldn't run away from this forever. I need to talk about. Maybe this weight on my shoulders would make me feel better.
"You're right. It's time to talk about it." I said.
"I'm right?"
I nod and take seat on the bench and he does the same.
