I wake up to the rays of sun, blinding me through my curtains. I roll to the side and grab my phone. It's bee two days since the night I got drunk.
I flip my phone to see the time and date.

Fucking hell. It's my fucking birthday. The day before I spent planning out a shopping trip with the girls. Josh was gonna bound and my other friend Ki and her boyfriend Aaron were gonna tag along.
The thing is I made the plan of shopping while Josh was in the room but something I didn't mention was the lingerie party for the girls I'd told Alyssa, Alita and Ki about.
Josh and Aaron didn't have to know. They would go out and do whatever the hell the wanted while we did girly shit in lingire together.
I jumped out of bed and yanked my favorite black dress over me.
Long sleeves, skin tight, flowy skirt.
I'd waited forever to wear it. Since it was autumn I pulled on some black translucent tights underneath and black loafers. I yanked a black leather jacket and pulled it over myself as I got a text from Alyssa saying her and all the girls were waiting for me in front of my apartment.
I rushed down and ran out to greet them. I was immediately attacked in a tight embrace from all sides.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCHH."
Ki yells as she smothers me. I hear Aaron laugh in the background.
Me and the girls bunched into the back of Josh's fancy black car. He took the driver seat and Aaron took the other front seat.
The girls and I discussed plans in the back and squealed as we said how awesome it was gonna be.
Ki spent the whole time ranting about buy me a boyfriend. I saw Josh's jaw clench at the mention of it but I ignored it.
Why the fuck is he clenching his jaw? Is he jealous?
No.
No.
Shut up. He's not jealous.
I'm over thinking it.
He's probably just annoyed he has to deal with our obnoxious voices.. Right?

We were all laughing and giggling as we walked out of the lingire store. Josh looked embarrassed as hell and poor Aaron was blushing.
Personally I'd gotten a black lace set with translucent sleeves that were off the shoulder. God would I finally feel good for at least one night.
Me and Alita were in front deciding the next store. Ki and Alyssa were behind us talking about our new stuff, Josh and Aaron walked behind us. I could sence something was up with Josh. He was shifting his weight and looking around himself a lot.
Whats got him so worked up? He looks tense, uncomfortable.
"Jules! I see a book store. Let's go buy you new obsessions for your unstable ass!"
Alita snapped me out of my train of thoughts, I averted my gaze to where she was pointing. I smirked and laughed.
"You know me too fucking well Alita."
"Fuck yeah I do!"
We started making out way over to the bookstore. Josh said he'd wanted to go to the bathroom and we agreed to meet later at a bench neat a very neatly decorated tree. Fairy lights hung from it.
He seemed to by trying to avoid someone?
I've never seen Josh Young so uncomfortable. Who's gotten him in this chokehold? What's going on?
