Isaac Morris, how do I even begin to explain.

Back in high school we were such good friends, still are but for other reasons. I may or may not of got drunk - and by drunk I mean completely smashed out of my mind - and found myself in Isaac Morris' bed the next morning. And then again the next week. If Luke would of known we slept together and it still be high school Isaac would be six feet underground.

There was no one who hated Isaac Morris more than Luke Hemmings. No one.

While we were together Luke enjoyed playing that whole facade. Over protective, jealous boyfriend. I still remember him saying "I don't like how close you are him, the guy is a complete cunt." Then I would of responded with "He is just a close friend." Then he would respond with an eye roll, which lead me onto say "Do you trust me?" And he would do his ever so famous smiles and say "Of course I do babe."

It was like a scene out of a play. And me and Luke were the main characters. More or less every week we would act the same scene, like we were continually rehearsing for the grand finale.

I remember once Isaac kissed me on the cheek in the cafeteria and Luke literally went ape shit. He pinned him against the wall - after giving him a lovely punch across the face of course - and said "IF YOU EVER TOUCH OR EVEN LOOK OR THINK ABOUT MY GIRL I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!"

It's safe to say Isaac broke all those 'rules' last week with me.

"So how are you?" he said awkwardly while scratching the back of his neck.

"I'm good, you? I said awkwardly while scratching the back of my hand.

His brown, caramel hair hung messily I front of his emerald green eyes. It was almost ridiculous how effortlessly handsome he was. Tan skin. A dazzling smile. Muscular but not too muscular physic. Kind personality.

I was too captivated by his beauty to even understand what he was saying.

"So you going next week?"

"Huh?"

"To the best high school reunion EVER!" he faked in a girly voice earning a small laugh from me.

"Totally babe."

Babe? Well shit.

I mentally face palmed myself as the word casually rolled off my tongue.

He smirked. "Babe?"

That smirk is what landed me into bed with him twice - now quite possibly three times.

Play along, a little voice told me in my head. Be sexy act confident.

I lightly grazed my hands over his hands slowly up to his neck. His felt him twitch under my touch. My lips gently kissed his ear.

"That's what you moaning last week, do you remember...babe?"

He cleared his throat as I noticed he was getting a lil to excited down there.

And that's when I came fully aware we were in the middle of a shopping centre and my best friend was sat on a bench watching the unraveling porn show while visibly cringing.

"So I'll see ya later then isaac." I breathed out.

"Y-y-e-ah okay."

We said our goodbyes and then I did the 'walk of shame' to Abbie.

"Jeez Allie, I knew you were a bit slutty but I don't even know what to say."

"I'm full of surprises."

"Yes you are."

You see ever since Luke I changed my perception about love. I fell in love too young and I definitely regret it. Now I see it as I'm 20. What's the rush to settle down? I am young so I might as well enjoy it while I can. I don't want to be in my forties regretting that I wasn't any fun in my old days.

"Do you want the speech again Abbs?"

"Oh god anything but the speech!" she blurted out laughing as I stuck my tongue out. "Come on you mental case lets go."

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Your apartment is so pretty, I'm so jealous. I wish I had rich parents." Abbie said.

"Hey! It's not my fault my parents wanted to get me this for my birthday, I told them no but they wouldn't listen. Anyway I pay for all of the bills and shit with my shitty sales assistant job. Plus I hardly ever get to see this baby because 75% of the time I'm in my shitty dorm."

"Oh please your life is far from shitty. At least you can find a job and don't have to share a dorm with anyone. If I go back to my dorm and find out miss popular hasn't fallen off a cliff and died I am going to be sick."

'Miss Popular' was a nickname for Tammy Gold. The schools whore. The schools slut. The schools tramp. But of course the school didn't give a shit she was one of these adjectives because she was popular. And if you're popular your college life will be 80% guaranteed more easier.

We made our way into my bedroom, Abbie was pretending to be Tammy stumbling on on 8inch heels. "Do I look hot Al?"

"Too hot to function"

Our shopping bags filled my room and some black lingerie spilled out of my bag.

Being Abbie she picked up the delicate garment and swivelled it around her fingers. "Oooh lalala Isaac is one lucky guy."

"Abbs stop." My cheeks turning red while I chuckled.

"I saw you at the mall Allie! I know what you're capable of!"

"Shut it!"

Her attention then went onto something else. "Oh my god is this what I think it is?" she squealed while holding my 'Dream Life' book. "I haven't seen this in forever!"

From when I was little I had my life set out. I wanted a big house. I wanted to have one gorgeous girl and one beautiful boy. I wanted a husband who treated me like a princess from a Disney film. But then something harsh slapped me across the face; reality. Reality. Where people lie to you. Hurt you. Where the 'prince' is actually the villain but you don't realise because of his amazing smile and stupid lies.

"Yeah. I wish I never grew up."

"I hear you sister."

We looked at the book admiring my choice of furniture for a seven year old until something stopped my smiles.

A Polaroid of sixteen year old me and a picture of seventeen year old Luke. Both smiles as big as the moon. And written on the photo was 'always' and a love heart.

"Well this is awkward." Abbs said while clearing her throat.

"It's not. I guess we had some good times."

"No. Don't say that. He put you through so much pain. You don't owe him anything okay?"

"Okay."

"Well I better get going it's late, I don't want to get attacked by a hobo." she said with a faint smile.

"Bye Abbs, I love you and thank you."

"No problem."

And with that I was alone in my apartment.

All alone.
