THREE MONTHS LATER

ZOE'S POV

The past three months was hell and when I thought all was going to be lovey-dovey, I was wrong though lately every decision I take seems to be my worst nightmare. Mike and I still have that rocky relationship, one minute there's affection between us and in a blink of an eye we're having conflicts and breaking each other's hearts. Speaking of breaking hearts, have I told you how broken-hearted I was when I discovered the shocking news. Well get a glass of water and let me tell you.

So I made a fool out of myself and cut off Carl for Mike's sake. After those days he was the perfect boyfriend getting me all those expensive flowers always and chocolates too. We were so in love for almost the whole month with no conflicts in between us until I discovered him and Natasha were still messing around when I thought we had our thing figured out and like always I was wrong.

I seem to trust Mike a lot, thinking he'd change only to be thrown with a bunch of disappointments on my face. I still remember the day like yesterday when an album of Natasha's half naked pictures popped up on Mike's phone while he was out of the room. He came back and I interrogated him and yeah he did what he's best at; denying. He always convinced me he loves me but I sometimes doubt because he always messes things up. I guess I'm still with him because it seems like I love him more than he loves me back.

On the 10nth of August, the day I cut off Carl from my life and I've been living with regrets since then though I did ghost him Carl never accepted that. He never backed away; he kept calling and sending me texts which I never replied to any of it. After a while when Carl and I bumped into each other by the shopping center, he never bothered to say a word to me or make eye contact that's when I knew he hated me and had accepted I'm no longer part of his life. My heart was shattered into pieces finally getting the dismissal I've been longing for, so ironic.

Back to the present day, today is my birthday the 30 of November; I'm turning seventeen years old. "Stop being too naive and introvert, allow yourself to have fun, meet people and experience things." I can still hear Carl's words echoing in my head. Maybe I should have taken those words into consideration. Look at me now, I have planned a party yet got no much people to invite. It's not something big, just a celebration. Sammy, Linda, Mike, Ryan and two of my classmates are here to celebrate with me.

They all have showed up in their stylish outfits with the theme black and gold, looking extremely glamorous. I on the other hand I'm wearing my black lace-like long tight dress with jewelleries and heels. Black and purple are my favorite colours but in this situation I figured black and gold will go good together, though it was meant to be something small I feel like it's too formal but what other choice do I have since my boyfriend insisted he'll organize it and make it special. Mike being Mike, you'll never go on an arguement with him when it comes to spoiling me.

I'm over excited honestly to see the effort Mom and Mike have put on making this day special although my heart is not at ease with Carl not being here. Today morning I did remind him about my birthday and invited him too but he never replied. Stupid ass! Did you expect him to jump after everything you've done to him? My subconscious mocks at me, I frown still staring at my phone.

"You okay?" Sammy's concerned voice frightens me a bit and I snap out of my thoughts. "Yeah I am." I stutter. She frowns, standing on her feet with a glass of non-alcoholic red wine. Mom allowed for the ordering of non-alcoholic red wine only for today though I know my best friend enough to know that there's some of her stuff she mixed with inside the drink. "It's your birthday loosen up." Her high pitched voice squels as she pats my shoulder.
