"Come on, it's your birthday!" My best friend Leah said as she sat down on my bed. "You're turning 21, that needs to be celebrated with shots and guys" she continued. I turned around under my covers and looked at her.
"I don't wanna celebrate, I have nothing to celebrate... My whole life has been turned upside down" I told her. I pulled the covers over my head and closed my eyes as I tried to block out Leah's voice.
"Y/N, it has been months since you guys broke up, you have to get over Matt eventually" Leah mumbled as she pulled the covers off my body.
"But you don't understand! I thought Matt and I were going to last forever! We were going to get married, we were going to have kids" I cried. Leah pulled me close and brushed my hair out of my face.
"He cheated on you... He doesn't deserve your tears" she told me, and I knew she was right. He didn't deserve any of me, he only deserved heartbreak, but unfortunately, I had gotten that, too.
"You know what, you're right! He doesn't deserve me!" I told her as I looked up. I dried away my tears and cleared my throat. "Let's go have fun, let's party!" I told her, then I got out of bed and ran into my bathroom.
"That's my best friend" Leah yelled behind me, which made me smile widely. As I showered, Leah came into the bathroom.
"Does this also mean that I finally can introduce you to Justin?" she asked me as she sat down. I rolled my eyes and I washed out the shampoo.
"You've been begging for me to meet him the last month, so why not," I told her. Immediately I heard her squeal loudly, which made me laugh. "You will not regret it! He is such a great guy, and I'm pretty sure you guys are soulmates" she told me. I hummed back in response. I was feeling slightly guilty for finally moving on from Matt, but at the same time, I was finally feeling happy, I was finally feeling free.
"You owe me dinner if I don't like him," I told her as I turned off the shower. "Deal," she said back. Leah handed me my towel over the door, then she left the bathroom. I wrapped the towel around my body, then I got out and looked at myself in the mirror, but before I could even recognize myself, Leah was back in the room. This time she had brought a chair and a whole bunch of makeup. "I'm gonna turn you into the sexiest, most beautiful girl in the whole club, oh and I left you your present on the bed, I hope you like it" she squealed, then she worked her magic.

2 hours and a bunch of shots later we finally hit the club. We were supposed to meet up with a whole bunch of our friends, and some new guy friends of Leah's. I was slowly getting more and more drunk, but I was having the time of my life. I wasn't thinking about Matt or all my other problems, I was just enjoying myself, and my friends.
I was currently dancing to "Shed a Light" by David Guetta when Leah came over to me. "Come with me, there's someone I would like you to meet," she told me, then she winked. I waved goodbye to the guys I had been dancing with, then I followed Leah back to our table.
"Y/N, this is Justin, Justin this is my best friend Y/N," Leah said. I turned to look at this Justin, and immediately time stood still. Justin and I locked eyes, and immediately I bit down on my lip. Justin did the same thing, but he was quicker than me to get our of our current trance. "Nice to meet you beautiful," he said, then he grabbed my hand and pressed a kiss onto it. "And happy 21st birthday" he continued. "Thank you very much," I told him as I giggled. I heard Leah laugh, which made me turn to look at her.
"What's so funny?" I asked her, which made her smirk. "Oh nothing, you two just go have fun," she said, then she left me alone with Justin.
"So Justin, how old are you?" I asked him as we made our way up to the bar.
"I'm 22, but I'm turning 23 in a month exactly," he told me, which made me bite down on my lip. "But enough about me, care to join me on the dancefloor beautiful?" he asked me. I nodded my head and smiled at him, then I downed my newly bought shot and intertwined my fingers with Justin's. Justin pulled me onto the dancefloor, where he immediately went behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I smirked as "One Dance" came on. I leaned my head on Justin's shoulder as my hips moved to the beat of the song.
"Grips on your waist, front way, back way, you know that I don't play. Streets not safe, but I never run away, even when I'm away" Justin sexily sang to me. I lightly gasped and turned around to look at him.
"And he sings, too," I told him as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Justin chuckled as he nodded his head. "He sure does," he told me, then he pulled me closer, and our bodies moved to the beat of the music.
It felt like we had been dancing for hours when Justin finally asked me if I wanted to go back to our table.
As we had made it back to our table, Justin sat down first, then he sat me down on his lap. "Hey birthday girl," my closest girlfriends said as they joined us. "Enjoying your birthday?" one of them asked me as she looked at me and Justin. I smirked and nodded my head, then I grabbed a shot and drowned it.
"Y/N, is that you?" someone suddenly asked from behind me. I turned around in Justin's arms so that I know was sitting with my legs on each side of him and my arms around his neck.
"Matt?" I gasped. Immediately all my happiness was gone, but I wouldn't let him see that. "What are you doing here?" I asked him as I pressed myself closer to Justin. "Well your friends invited me to your birthday party when we were still together," he said as he scratched his neck. When Justin heard those words, he got tense, but it didn't last long because a few seconds later he was placing kisses on my neck. I giggled as he hit my sweet spot. "Justin will you please stop, I'm trying to have a conversation with my ex here," I told him, then I looked back up at Matt. Justin kept going and ignored my request, which made me roll my eyes.
"I see you've moved on," Matt said as he looked down. "And what if I have? You were the one who cheated, so I'm allowed to move on" I harshly told him. "You're right, I shouldn't be judging you," Matt told me, when he turned around and left, which made me smile a little.
"I'm finally moving on from that bastard," I told Leah as I turned around to sit on Justin's lap again. "I'm so happy, you didn't deserve to feel that way," Leah said. She lightly hugged me, then she whispered something to Justin, which made him smirk and nod his head. I furrowed my eyebrows at the two of them, but Leath just smirked back at me. "See you tomorrow birthday girl," she said, then she left. "Okay, what was that about?" I asked Justin, Justin just shrugged his shoulders and intertwined our fingers. "How do you feel about leaving so that I can give you your best birthday present, from me?" he said with a lip bite. I nodded my head, then I stood up and grabbed his hand. Our friends squealed after us as they saw us leave together, which made me smile widely. I winked at them, then I turned back to Justin, where I wrapped an arm around his waist.
When we made it outside a car was already waiting for us. Apparently, Leah had called the company and got us a car.
"So, my place or your place?" Justin asked as we got into the car.
"Yours," I told him, then I moved closer to him and started to place kisses up and down his neck. Justin told the driver his address, then he grabbed my face and pulled it away from my neck. He pulled me closer, and finally, he placed his lips on mine in a magical kiss.
When we finally reached Justin's place, we couldn't get inside fast enough, and Justin kept his promise, he really did give me the best birthday present I could've ever asked for.
