Emily POV:

"Thank you, I had a wonderful evening." I said to Noah. He had taken me out for dinner and now we were walking hand in hand towards his house. It wasn't far and I didn't mind walking with him. We walked around the corner and I stopped immediately. Jack just came out of a nightshop with a small bag. I hadn't seen him for over a week now, and he looked different. Tired and sad, actually. When he came my way, our eyes locked for only a second. Then I turned and kissed Noah, like I'd never kissed him before. When I let go of him, I saw Jack giving me one last look and then dissapearing around the corner. "Woah." Noah smiled. I faked a smile at him and he took my hand. "Do you want to stay at my place tonight?" he asked. "I uhm, I think I'm gonna go home actually." I mumbled. "Sorry. See you tomorrow." I kissed his cheek and walked quickly away.

I fell down on my bed, crying like a little baby. I was crying harder than I'd ever had. I buried my face in my pillow and sobbed against it. What was I doing? Ashley was so fucking right, I was using Noah. He was a great and attractive guy, but I wasn't in love with him. I used him to get over Jack, the actual love of my life. I thought it would be easy to forget about him, but I was so wrong. I had to admit I was pretty jealous of Ashley. She had everything she ever dreamed of, her life was perfect. Why did I have to fall in love with the cheating guitarist instead of the dreamy singer? Why did I ever thought that I would actually mean something to Jack Barakat. I mean, I knew that guy was well known because of his one night stands and friends with benefits stuff. I knew he never had a real relationship and that he just had sex with girls for fun. How could I be so stupid to think that I was special, that it was different with me? When I had calmed down a bit, I sobbed myself to sleep.

Ashley POV:

Things were getting better. Emily had finally realized that she had to break up with Noah because she wasn't really in love with him. Luckily, Noah understood the situation and made no big deal of it. And Emily was doing really well. I could see she still missed Jack, but she was getting better everyday. Jack was also doing well. After his breakdown the night he'd called Alex, things got better. And my new job, well.. it was pretty amazing. Also, moving in with Alex had made our relationship even better. Like I said, everything was getting better.

"So, what do you want to do tomorrow?" Alex asked me when we were watching television. "I don't know. We don't have to do something special, you know." I answered. "But it's your birthday, that is a special occasion." he said. I sighed. "I really don't want to do something special." "Okay, then let's just invite Zack, Rian, Cassadee, Emily, Noah and Jack?" he smiled. "That would be a great idea. But I don't know if Emily, Noah and Jack in one room is going to work." He pulled me closer and I rested my head on his shoulder. "It's their problem, not ours. If they really love you, they will come and behave, for you." I looked up in his eyes and smiled. "Okay, a small party won't hurt anyone." I said and kissed him.
