You and Meg were friends, best friends, ever since she was new in town and you defended her from some stupid bullying at a party where you met her. You became inseparable, always together, at each other's houses. You were two years older than Meg, who was now 17 and you were 20.

You had never met Meg's father because he was a very busy man, but a few months ago you met... And you became really close, having a relationship hidden from Meg, although Matthew wanted to tell her.

Now, it was Meg's 17th birthday and she was having a party at her house. While everyone was dancing and talking excitedly, you were talking to Henry, a guy who everyone knew wanted you.

While you were talking, you gently looked up and suddenly you could see Matthew staring at you, watching the scene of you talking.
