I snatched my wallet, phone and keys before walking out of my door.

I felt the chilling breeze confront me in a protective, but secretive gesture. It was like an October breeze. It was cold but not cold enough to wear a coat.

I looked up to see that the moon was covered in gloomy clouds, while millions of bright, radiant, stars dotted the lovely dark sky.

This is actually my first time being a plus one. I've always been the one who has brought a plus one, never had been one.

The light from the street reflected off of my car as I approached it. All I could hear were my own footsteps and crickets.

I opened up the door of my car and the engine purred as I started it. I put on my seatbelt and adjusted the seat and began driving. I switched through the radio stations trying to find something that sounded decent enough to listen to.

Why would I try to break his already broken heart? I can't fuck with his feelings like that.

My mind started to race as I reminded myself how my old mindset was and how horrible it was.

Kentrell hid behind a smile and I was trying to destroy him?

I can't do this, or can I? "Ugh! What the hell!?"

The stressing thoughts continued to go through my unorganized head.

Knowing that I'm about four minutes away from the party I ignored my true feelings, deciding that I will unpack them later.

Storing it away.. like Kentrell.

I took a long, slow deep breath, then rounded the corner, turning into the neighborhood where the party was taking place.

It was more of a Beverly Hills than a L.A type vibe.

The house was covered with bright, colorful lights.

Looking at the house made me kind of anxious. It was so big and-
