We got in the car and drove off. 

"We are here" Taylor squeals 

"Come on," I said getting out

"Thank you, sir," Zoe said coming out

We walked in and it was amazing. It was all decorated so fancy. I walked over to Taylor who had company.

"Hey Taylor, Hello boys," I said with a smile, they nodded

"Zoe, You look like an angel," Louis said 

"Thank you, You look amazing," Zoe said blushing

"Wanna dance?" He invites her

"You're not mad at me?" She questions

"Never," He said

"Well, Then let's go," She said grabbing his hand

"Haha, They are so cute" I chuckled

"Ricky and I are going to dance, You ok?" Taylor asked

"I am, Go ahead. I might get a drink" I said motioning her to go

"Ok, Love you," She said walking away

"Love you too," I said standing there

Here I am alone standing here by myself's while my friends dance with guys they just met. I am not jealous...It's just that I want them here with me. I guess we wouldn't be here if it were for them but, Its ok...I guess.  This place is amazing! As soon as you walk in on the left is a bar and snack area (Fancy snacks), Then to the right is double doors that lead into a huge dining hall, and in the middle were two staircases to the side and a huge open floor with calm music. The girls had beautiful dresses and the men had tuxes like you wouldn't believe.  I walked over to the bar and sat. I ordered a cocktail and looked at my friends. They make me happy. I don't know where I would be without them. When I was 18, my brother died in a car accident. He was my rock. Always there for me. I miss him...He lived in Hollywood. He kept telling me to move there so we could be closer...I kept saying no. After he died, I knew the closest I could get was L.A but, it's not to close because I didn't want to be reminded of him all the time...Does that make sense? Anyway, Zoe was my friend since 1st grade. She moved with me to L.A. We met Taylor the 4 weeks living there. She was my brother's friend...Not girlfriend just friend. We have been through a lot together. Just thinking about it all hurts. I was on my 4th drink...I can not do this. I got up and my heel got stuck making me almost fall when a guy caught me. 

"Whoa There," He said

"Thank you" I thank him

"You ok there," He said flashing his smile

"I am fine...but, could um push me back up?" I request

"Oh yes...Haha, Sorry. I am Evan" He said putting his hand out

"I am Claire and I was on my way out," I said pointing to the door

"Oh that's a shame," He said

"Yup it is. Night" I smile

"Oh,Um,OK?" He said

I walked out and on my way, I grabbed my coat. It was 31 degrees! How can people stand this? I walked around just thinking about love, friendship, love again, life, and my job. I stumbled upon a water fountain. It was beautiful, the way the moon glisten on the fountain was magic. I walked around it, with my eyes opened and with them closed. On the last spin around it, I ran into someone.

"Oops, I am sorry," I said with my hand on their chest, Luckily it was a man

"Oh it's OK," He said with a small accent

"I am so sorry," I said

"Haha, Honestly" He grins

"Are you OK?" He asks

"I am fine. I'm Claire...Your name?" I question

"I am-Uh-Zacha-Zach just plain Zach" He stumbles

"Ok, Just plain Zach" I chuckle "I better start walking back to my place"

"So soon? Come with me, Let me make up for ruining your dance" He laughs

"1st I don't dance and 2nd You want me to come with you?" I asked/told him

"I guess that would be scary to follow a stranger...but, I can ensure you I am a fine gentleman," He said

"Part of me wants to go and the other is telling me to run," I told him

"Is that something you tell a stranger?" He asked

"No, I guess not. So act like it never happened" I told him

"I can try" He snickers

"Thank you, so where would you take me?" I asked

"You aren't from around here are you?" He said with his charm

"No, I am from California" I replies

"Oh, from the Cali state" He chuckles

"Um, Yeah...." I said wondering why he is so weird "Are you Ok?"

"I was just needing a break from my family so I left my place and came out here...Where I found you," He told me

"Oh, well every now and then we do need a break" I chuckle

"So do you want me to show you around or, " He asks

"I guess and if I go missing well-" He cut me off

"You won't trust me. It would be bad for my parents to have their only boy kill a beautiful dressed up woman" He laughs

"Oh,I was at the ball with my friends. They had dates and I didn't" I told him

"Well now you do," He said putting his arm out

"Where to?" I question

"Its a secret," He said

"That's not scary at all," I said

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make sound creepy" He laughs

"Right..." I said
