I sighed as I stared out of the ice cream parlours window.

My life is such a fucking mess!

There's nothing I can do though.

I can't bring my father back, I can't have my same Josie back, I just can't have anything!

I came out of my thoughts by someone coughing; and by someone I mean Luke.

I looked in front of me and smiled when I saw Luke; who was currently devouring his large ice cream.

He caught me staring and smiled in my direction.

What I saw made me giggle.

"What?" Luke asked whilst chuckling.

I pointed at his nose, "you've got a bit of ice cream there." I said.

He then wiped the tip of his nose and chuckled.

"It's nice to talk to you again." I said with sincerity.

"Well, it's nice to see that smile of yours again." Luke countered.

I smiled.

Then we just continued to eat our ice creams in the pure bliss of silence.

I was so concentrated on my ice cream that I didn't even realise that there was someone standing next to me.

"Hey Alicia."

I turned around and was met with ocean blue eyes.

"Hey?" I said confused.

"I'm Zac, we've met before." He said.

I tried to think, and then it clicked.

"Your the guy from the shop." I said in realisation.

"Yep." Zac said with a dashing smile.

Zac then looked over to Luke; who sat opposite me.

"Is this your boyfriend?" He asked.

I shook my head vigorously, "No, he's my best friend." I said whilst giving Luke a smile.

Luke did smile back, but his smile didn't reach his eyes.

"So, you two know each other?" Luke asked.

"Yer, he helped me pick out the dress for the party." I explained.

"Ah! You have a fine taste in fashion." Luke said to Zac.

"Thank you." Zac said with a slight nod of the head.

Zac then turned towards me, "is it alright if I take you somewhere?" He asked.

I smiled, "well, as long as you don't kill me."

Zac then let out a slight chuckle, "wouldn't have thought about it."

I then turned to Luke, "is it okay with you?" I asked.

Luke then looked to the ground before looking back up to me, "sure, I mean your entitled to be able to fuck up your life as much as you want." Luke said before storming off.

I had to rub my eyes a few times to make sure that what I was hearing was real.

Zac then sat where Luke just was, "are you okay?" He asked.

I looked up to him and could feel the tears build up.

I couldn't let them slip.

"Yer, lets go." I said before walking off ahead of Zac.

As soon  as I got outside; I took a few breathes.

Why is life being so fucking cruel?!

I then felt a tap on my shoulder, "you okay?" Zac asked.

"Yer, so where are we going?" I asked.

"Well, that's a surprise." Zac said before pulling me along to his car.

Once we both got into the car; Zac started to drive off.

After about a good 10 minutes or so, we ended up outside of the store that Zac works at.

He then dragged me inside with him, "you know I didn't expect you to bring me to your work place." I said.

"That's because I'm not, I'm just here to get you something." Zac said, as he browsed through all the beautiful dresses.

Then he stopped and pulled out a simple, short red dress, "try this on." He demanded.

I simply nodded and went to the changing rooms.

Once I came out of the changing room; I found Zac standing in front of me in some casual clothing. 

"Where are we going, Zac?" I asked.

"Like I said, it's a surprise." He said.

And just like that; I was being dragged back over to his car.

Once in he started the car and handed me a box, "what's this?" I asked.

"Just open it." Zac said as he started to drive off.

I opened the box and saw a pair of silver high heels.

"Wait, I have to wear these?" I said, whilst staring at the fucking death traps.

"Yer, now put them on quickly." Zac said whilst still having his eyes glued to the road.

"Why do I have to put the shoes on quickly?" I asked.

"Because we are nearly there." Zac said.

I just nodded as a response; but then I realised he couldn't see me, so I said, "okay."

Once I managed to put the fucking death traps on my feet; the car came to a halt.

I looked over to Zac who simply got out of the car.

Well, that's just fucking rude!

But then I felt my door open; Zac was holding out his hand.

I smiled and cautiously took his hand in mine.

Once he shut my door; I turned to see that we were outside a club.

"Zac, its the day time and you brought me to a club?" I asked.

"Yer?" He said, "clubs are always open in the evenings."

I stared up at the sky and I just realised that the sun was beginning to set.

Well shit!

"Well I didn't know, and how could I if I'm underage!" I stated.

Zac then sighed, "I know the dude, you don't have to worry about that."

"That's not the only thing I'm worried about." I said.

"Then what are you worried about?" Zac asked.

"Well for starters, your a stranger. I'm in a part of town which I don't know. I am in high heels, which may I add are not good to run in-" I was interrupted by Zac, "and why would you have to run?" He asked.

"Well, there might be a serial killer, or you might try to rape me or kill me." I said.

Zac then chuckled, "trust me, I have no intention on doing any of that."

"Sure you don't." I said whilst crossing my arms over my chest.

Zac then sighed, "come on! You've clearly had a rough day, so please-" he waited a moment, "come and have some fun." He said whilst giving me puppy dog eyes.

I sighed, "fine! But if you try anything, and I mean anything- i will leave straight away!" I said.

"Okay." Zac said whilst holding up his hands; in a surrender type motion.

And with that I nodded and followed him into the night club.
