"Guys, this party is going to be amazing!" Beverly yelled. "We have to invite everyone!"

"All of my friends are already here." Violet said

"Same." Grace said. "The only people I hang out with are you guys."

"Hm. It won't be much fun if it's just us. How about you, Hannah? Do you have any one you would want to invite?"

"Chase... maybe."

"What a sucker," Violet rolled her eyes. "That boy is so in love with you." 

"Violet, what are the hell are you talking about?" I said, crossing my arms over my chest. 

"Nothing. Keep talking." She shoved a hand full of chips into her mouth. "Got any other friends?"

I sat there and thought. Do I have any other friends?  Immediately, Emma came into my head. Emma, ex best friend. Emma was such a nice girl to me. We would have sleepovers, prank call our parents and gossip about the whole school. Little did I know, she was holding onto a secret that she didn't tell me. She knew Julia and Peyton were having sex behind my back. I remembered the day she told me. After that, I vowed to never be her friend again. 

One year ago

I was running. My eyes were red, my cheeks puffy. The image of Peyton on top of Julia was burned into my brain. He was cheating on me... With her....

I had to talk to some one. Anyone! They need to know what he had done!

My feet came to a stop. I nearly collapsed into the dirt,  but kept my balance. I have to call Emma. I dug into my pockets vigorously, searching for my phone. When I pulled it from my pocket, I realized I had missed a few calls from Emma. I called her back. 

"Emma? Emma?" I yelled as the phone rang. She answered quickly in a shaky voice. 

"Hannah? Hannah? What's going on? Are you okay?"

"Can I come over? Please, I-I need to talk to you!"

"I'll come and get you! Please, stay put!" 

I sat on the sidewalk with my knees to my chest as I waited for my friend. I felt so cold. On the outside... and the inside. This is what it feels like to be rejected, huh? 

"Hannah?" 

I lifted my head from my knees to see my blonde haired friend looking down at me from her jeep. I hadn't even realized she had pulled up. She unlocked the passenger door and I got in. We sat there in silence for a long time. She listened to me cry as I told her what had happened. She said nothing in response. She only stared into the distance. 

"I can't believe this," I sobbed. "How could he do this to me? What did I do wrong?'

"You didn't do anything wrong." She finally spoke. "Peyton is just a jerk."

"He's worse than a jerk! God damn it!"

"Hannah, calm down. You two can just get back together. He'll apologize."

"Apologize? APOLOGIZE?! Apologizing doesn't erase what he did! How could you say that?!"

"I just... don't want to see you so hurt over a man like him."

"What do you know about him, huh? Did you know he was like this when you introduced us?!"

"Hannah... his past is a little crazy but, he said he changed."

"Seriously? Why didn't you tell me all this?!"

"Because you get like this! You get whiny."

I was speechless. Whiny? I just got my heart broken!

I didn't say anything to her for the next few minutes. I couldn't believe my friend.

"I knew." Emma blurted out, staring down at the road.

"What? What did you say?" I turned to her.

"I knew he was cheating on you."

For a split second, everything went black. When I opened my eyes, Emma's cheek was red and she was staring at me in shock. 

Did I slap her? God, I hope so.

"YOU KNEW HE WAS DOING THIS?!" I screamed in her face. 

She backed up against the window and looked away. "Yes, I did. I'm sorry, Hannah. I should have told you earlier!"

"You. Are. A. Stupid. Bitch." I seethed. I swung the car door open.

"Wait, Hannah! Maybe if you would've let him fuck you, this wouldn't have happened." She said, looking me in the eyes. I slapped her again, but didn't black out this time. I jumped out the car and walked down the sidewalk, heading to the nearest bar. 

Present Day

"No, I don't know anyone else to invite." I shrugged

"Does Logan know anyone?" Violet asked 

"Probably Tim and Nick." 

"Perfect! The more people the better!" Beverly cheered. 

"Hannah and I can go grocery shopping for snacks." Violet said.

"I'll give you a list." Grace said

"I'll start making calls." Beverly said.

******

Violet and I continued to walk through the store, grabbing snacks off the shelf. Every now and then Violet would stop and look around as if someone was watching her. 

"Are you okay, Violet?" I asked her, dropping a bag of chips into the cart. 

"Yeah, I'm just anxious."

"About what?"

"Well... my ex works here and I don't wanna see him."

"Really?"

"Yes, really."

"If he were to show up right now, what would you say." I joked

"I have a boyfriend." She smirked. 

"Ohh, boyfriend Charles."

"Ugh, shut up."  She rolled her eyes. 

"Hello there, Violet and Hannah. It's nice to see you both." A feminine voice spoke behind us. 

Violet and I quickly turned. Behind us stood Chloe and a tall black haired man beside her. They were holding hands. 

"Oh. Hello Chloe." Violet said. "It's strange to see you here."

"We decided to get some snacks together. We're watching a movie tonight." Chloe said, smiling to the man beside her. 

"You should come to our party tomorrow." I blurted out. 

Violet's jaw dropped as she stared at me in shock. "Hannah-"

"You're having a party?" Chloe asked. 

"Yes, you should come. It'll be fun." I said. 

"Should we?" She turned to the man. He nodded at her. 

"Okay! We'll come! Where will it be?" She happily said

"M-my house." Violet said

"Perfect! We'll see you then." Her and the man walked away hand in hand. 

"What the hell is the matter with you?!" Violet yelled at me once they were out of sight. 

"I'm sorry! I just... wanted her to see how happy I was with Logan. Logan is happy for her. I want her to be happy for us too."

Violet sighed and rubbed her temples. "Jesus, Hannah. Let's go to the mall after this okay?"

"The mall? Why?"

"Because you're gonna look sexy as hell at the party. Let's make that bitch jealous one more time."
