(Lilah’s Pov)

So I’ve been wasting the whole day lazing around the house as I completed all my homework yesterday night and now Stella is coming in a while to get ready for the party then we’ll leave with Ashton (perks of being in football team) and the boy’s will be there with Julie of course Ash invited her.
The doorbell rang and I rushed for Stella. She carried some of her dresses and makeup with her and we went back to my room. Since she was early I decided to talk to her about the past few days.
“So, umm….Stella I wanted to tell you something just don’t get mad.” I stated and she raised an eyebrow.
“’he visited me some days back and I had another attack.”I said bowing my head down.
“Hey hey hey, shhhhh… First of all I want to you smack you in the head for not telling me. Secondly don’t worry you are so strong he won’t be able to do anything.” She said coming closer and hugging me.
“But last time Tyler----” I started feeling myself tremble as the memories came back.
Tyler was my ex- boyfriend who was the only other person I trusted and who broke me like no one ever could.
“hush we won’t think about it and next time something happens tell me.” she tried to soothe me.
Then she change the topic and started talking about Dylan and her phone dinged with notification she quickly checked it and a blush formed on her face.
I quickly enquired to which she said , “So you know how we are counterparts in the drama so he exchanged numbers with me and he texted me just know to ask when we’re gonna reach the party.”

I looked at the time and decided on getting ready. We both quickly did our makeup and took out our dresses.
I settled for a black turtleneck with black leather skirt and high boots. I straightened my hair and as Stella said left something to Xav’s imagination.

I could see everybody around me was readily shipping me and Xav but they knew better than to say something to me.
While Stella wore a red bodycon dress and black heels which suited her perfectly.

We quickly got ready and left for the party ash also looked amazing I’m guessing he put the extra effort to impress Julie.

As soon as we reached the party the house was full of people grinding against each other on the make shift dance floor and drinking around. There were people making out and playing games in the side. I quickly bid my hi to some of them and we went to look for the guys.
Me and Stella went to the kitchen and found something to drink. Then we found the boys near the sofa and ash and Julie talking. I haven’t had a proper conversation with Julie yet. So me and Stella went there.
“Hi boys” Stella said already tipsy because when I was looking for the guys she just drank two three glasses of that punch or whatever. The boys looked good as always. I felt myself checking out Xavier.
“Hi ella.Looking all hot are we?” Dylan said.
“You don’t look too bad yourself.” she said touching his arm and giggling all the while preventing herself from falling.
“Let’s go dance.” She said and pulled me and Julie towards her. We went to the dance floor and dance few songs and then Dylan came and asked to dance with Stella.
Julie and I came to the side and I asked, “SO Julie, how are you?”
“I’m good lily, what about you?”She asked shyly.
“Amazing. So, U and ash?”
“Umm… No we are just friends. I mean ya he is an amazing person and I would definitely like to be with him but I’m clearly not his type.” she started ranting seeing ash talk to football guys and girls trying to through themselves at him.

“Heyyy hey heyy! No okay let me tell you a thing, you are one of the most gorgeous person I’ve ever met and Ash might kill me for telling you this but honestly he likes you.”I said.

“Really?” she asked shocked and I nodded. Till then Ash came and got her to dance with him.

I got up and went to the kitchen got myself some drinks and after a while I was a little tipsy so I went out. I saw Xavier sitting there on the deck with Ezabella holding his hand and I was scared to say the least I was fuming jealous but not in my right mind to say anything so I rushed out and went to Stella.

“Hey Stella not feeling good. So I’m leaving.”I said and left.

As I was going out I walked to the front porch and found Tyler standing there with his friends, he hadn’t noticed me yet and I rushed back I felt suffocated and I didn’t know what to do.

As I was going in I collided with Dylan.
“Hey Lily. What happened? You look pale.”
“Dylan, can you please send me to my home?”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t get my car. Let me ask Xav.”he said.
“No no its fine” I told him and went towards the sofa and sat there with a thud.
Tears wanting to escape I quickly shut my eyes and put my head back. I felt weird and images of Xav comforting me the last time came to my head and I relaxed. But this was wrong, he’s with bella I told myself and cringed at the thought.

Then finally, Stella came back and I asked her to leave so she called everyone and Xavier also came back.
He tried asking me what was wrong and but I avoided him and said I’m just feeling tipsy. So we all left and quickly went back to bed as soon as we left. Thankfully, I had tomorrow to sort myself out before meeting anyone else. Today was a long long day I huffed and soon went into my dream land.
