I saw lightning all round. The night didn't seem scary. I didn't believed my eyes. How can they do all this? In the center was a round table full of drinks. I went closer. The table was accessorized with the finest of wood article pieces. There were chairs all around. It seemed like a typical party club. I saw speakers at a corner. Ferd was standing there. It seemed he adjusted something. His sight then caught me. He looked at me and smiled. He then approached me.
"Howz my BFFe?" He asked playfully.
"I am good."
"Liar. " I got confused." You are Beautiful!" He said. He always does that.
I looked around and asked him.
"Where is everybody else?"
"You mean JJ? He's getting ready. Infact ,every body is dressing up." I didn't mean Jax. I rolled my eyes. I then approached Wendy's tent. "Wendy?" I called. "Come in Sal ." Mear replied.
I went inside. Dutches and Maddy were sitting there too.

(Conversation)
Maddy: How do you feel?
Me: "Pretty good, After seeing the stuff outside." I smiled. "Where did you get the tables and the speakers from?" I asked.
Mear: "Jax ordered. We didn't do anything. Some people came and set it up."
Maddy: "He spent a lot for us."
Me: "This is bad. He must have not done this. It's just a party."
Wendy: "We tried to explain. But he insisted."
Maddy: "He is a millionaire. Millionaires do not value money."
Wendy: "Yeah. He always wants the best. The best car . The best bungalow. Everything-         the best."
Me: I don't agree. If he does not value money, then why did he let us camp in the woods, in tents? He could have booked the seven star hotel at Lake Vensus. Also he walked with us kilometers. He could have chosen the drive-a-way.
Mear: Maybe Sally is right. He did took us the hard way. This party has something to do with.
Me: I guess he's up to something.

"Mear ,Maddy ,Wyborne. Come out. Party's starting." We heard Ferd shouting from the outside.
"The call. Let's go." Mear headed out as she said.

We went outside. I saw Jax standing near the table. He was pouring the juice into the glasses. He wore a white shirt ,with sleeves folded, and a persian blue shining pant. He looked handsome. Someone caught my hand. I turned around. It was Wyborne.
He looked into my eyes with a flirty smile. "Did someone told you that you look gorgeous ."
I smiled and replied playfully,"Yes. Ferd did. You are late to acknowledge."
He rolled his eyes and then we laughed together.

We reached the central table that carried drinks. We gathered around Jax. He was about to give a speech or something. He started.
"Drinks up every body." We raised our glasses. "Wondering what for?"
"Tell us JJ." Mear shouted.
"I dedicate this party to Sally. Raise your glasses for Miss Pinchholes." At his say, I was blown. Whatt? Me? No. I was confused. Why is he naming this party for me? I didn't wanted to create some scene in a smooth going party. So I behaved normally. I smiled and drank with others. Everybody was cheering me. It was awkward. I didn't knew what for. Jax always raised his glasses for special guests at his party. Never he had done that for Melanie or Wyborne. They are his closest friends.
Ferd then put the music on in a mild voice. Under the night , we all danced. Wybie and I had even steps.

While I was sitting on the farthest rock, seeing everyone having fun, I noticed Jax had an eye on me. It seemed he wanted to talk. I also wanted to clear things up. The moment arrived. He saw me alone on the log. He approached me and sat beside me. I smiled at him with a lots of questions on my face.

"Drink?" He handed me Apple juice. It was my favorite. I smiled and took it.
"I am sorry." He apologized. I didn't expected that at the very moment. I thought he was here to lecture me on 'Not Leaving Without Informing '.
"What for?" I asked.
"For everything. Boasting and unveiling the truth. Not apologizing at the right moment." I looked into his eyes. He seemed serious. So I decided to shut up. His seriousness creeps me more than a horror story.

He then turned towards me and said,
"I guess I was bossy. I shouldn't have been. Look ,we are friends. I know you and you know me. I understand what you say, what you mean, what you think. I felt something wrong that point. So I...I investigated. I didn't wanted you to fall into some trouble or something. It's just that I care for you. Hope you understand me."
Oh God ! His pretty confessions with confidence. It struck me in heart.
"You don't need to be sorry. No apologies, no thank yous in friendship." I sounded jerk. But I did spit that out. "I was being greedy for apologies. " I didn't exactly knew what to say. I just had to make him comfortable. So I used some drama from the slow movies. I actually didn't wanted to; it was spontaneous.

We then sat drinking and commenting on others. Suddenly it hit me. So I asked him in the middle of an unwanted conversation.
"What is this party for exactly? I mean you spent so much on a silly night party...."
"I did this for you. I seriously dedicate this party to you. Look ,I was extremely sorry for my rudeness at the lake . So I decided to turn a boring party to ...this."
He did this for me? Gosh ,it kills me.
It reminded me of Ken. He was my boyfriend in grade 9. He did planned a party saying for me. But it turned out to be for Hannah, his other girlfriend. I didn't knew he would ditch me that way. He was mean.
I rolled my eyes as I thought about Ken. Jax smiled as if he knew I was thinking bout Ken.
