Everyone was now leaving the party. I had such a good time and there was no drama, thank god. This was the best party by far and I think it’s going to be my last big one. I’m getting to old and tire for this.

“Keri, happy birthday again! This was such a nice party.” Chloe raced over to me with Mitch.

“Thank you Chloe, did you have a good time Mitch?”

“Don’t I every time?” Mitch asked. “I’ve missed you, you need to start coming around more before you leave.”

“I know I know, I’ve missed you too. I promise to be less anti-social; you know I just needed some time.”

“Understood. Anyway you look beat so I’ll see you soon.”

I pulled both Mitch and Chloe into a hug and waved them good-bye. It was great seeing them and how in love they were.

I sighed but put a smile back on my face to finish my good byes. Once everyone was gone, Ashley and I made our way back to our dorm. We couldn’t even bother to go up the stairs yet so we hung out on the bench outside of our room for a while.

“Damn.” She said barely audible.

I shut my eyes and put my head back, “I know.”

“I just want to sleep.”

“Same.”

“Hey.”

“What?”

“Looks like you have a guest.”

I opened my eyes and looked in the direction Ashley was looking.

“You can’t avoid him forever.”

I sighed and got up, “I’ll see you in the room.” I walked over to Vic who was standing under a light pole. “What are you doing here?”

“I just wanted to give you a card and wish you a happy birthday.”

“Um thanks, I guess.”

“I know we’re still not on good terms, but I just needed to give you something you know? And well since this might be the last time I see you so yeah…”

“Why?”

“Well, you’ll be leaving for school and I’m going on tour, plus you have a boyfriend.”

I cracked a smile, “Actually…”

Vic gave a confuse face, “But I- what did you do?”

I laughed, “It was all Mike’s idea.”

Vic shook his head, “I should have known… You look beautiful by the way. This princess thing is really, really suiting you.”

“Thanks…”

“Right so here’s your card and I’ll see you around.”

I took my card and watched Vic walk off.

Fuck my emotions till no fucking end. He just had to show up and be a sweetheart didn’t he? He always does this to me!

“Vic!”

He turned, “Yeah?”

“I hate you.”

He smiled that same beautiful that I loved so much.

“I know.” He turned to leave again.

“Vic!”

He didn’t even stop, “Yes Keri?”

“…I love you.”

Finally he stopped walking and turned with his arms opened. I did what any girl keeping her feeling compressed would do. I ran to him.

“I know.”
