I've been staring at the ceiling for almost an hour now, repeating his words in my head, you barely know me.

"Okay listen to me, you're not sulking over a boy you didn't even have for one," Tabitha mutters as she rips the blanket off me.

"And if I was naked," I complain.

"I would've enjoyed the show," she jokes causing me to roll my eyes playfully.

"It's a Saturday night and you're wasting it over Tristan, come on get up, he'll come to his senses soon," she tells me.

"He said I barely knew him, and I'm pretty sure he's right,"

"He has a protective barrier around him, most people do, hence why they all act like jerks, they don't wanna get hurt, and If you don't want me to hurt you, get up," she expresses causing me to roll off the bed onto my feet.

"There's a club the girl I'm talking to can get us into, guys will buy us free drinks thinking they'll get laid but we're just there for the drinks," she says causing me to chuckle.

"No matter how good-looking one of them is, don't go anywhere alone with them," she tells me and I nod.

"Now get dressed, we're going partying,"

"My mom is going to kill me," I groan causing her to chuckle before speaking.

"She won't because you never do anything rebellious,"

── ·✩· ──

We're now standing in line to get to the entrance of the club since Tabitha's girl was a no-show.

My heels are basically gripping onto my skin and bruising my feet at this point.

"She said she'll be here in a minute," she mutters.

"Are you sure she didn't just stand you up?" I question.

"No way, she wouldn't,"

Another fifteen minutes go by when Tabitha decides to grab my hand and pull me towards the bouncer.

God, she's gone mad.

Just as the thought leaves my mind, Tabitha walks past the bouncer and towards a familiar girl.

"I'm so sorry for being so late, I got here early and got tired of waiting outside," Katelyn says.

You have got to be kidding me.

"It's alright," Tabitha tells her.

"This is Kate, Kate this is Olivia,"

"No need for introduction," I tell her causing her to raise a brow.

"We already know each other, no need to bring up the past let's just all have a good time," Katelyn mutters before we all walk inside.

We stand at a table with no chairs because apparently people do that now and it's normal.

I do not feel like staying in heels all night.

"So what do we just do, stand here and look all cute until some douche shows up?" I question and Tabitha chuckle.

"No surprise you wouldn't know how to act, you've been around the boys for a full year now," Katelyn mutters

"Funny you'd say that," I scoff causing Katelyn to roll her eyes.

"Anyways," Tabitha chimes in.

"So how long have you guys known each other?"Katelyn questions raising her voice over the beat of the music.

"A few weeks now," Tabitha tells her and she nods.

"When are the drinks coming?" I question. Katelyn raises a brow before looking around.

"They'll come to us soon," she mutters, locking eyes with me before looking away.

"So how do you guys know each other?" Tabitha questions, settling her hands on the table.

"Long story," Katelyn mutters and I nod.

"We've got time don't we?" Tabitha shrugs.

"Chase cheated on me with her," we both say in sync, causing me to look over at her.

"We just didn't know at the time," she mutters and I nod.

"You both dated that douche?" Tabitha expresses.

"Well, he wasn't a douche when I dated him," Katelyn mutters.

"Yeah, maybe he wouldn't have been one if you didn't fuck his best friend," I mumble.

"You slept with Tristan?" Tabitha questions with a raised eyebrow and a shocked expression.

"No, I didn't,"

"Isn't Joshua gay?" Tabitha asks, her face morphing into a puzzled expression.

"I didn't sleep with any of them, nor his old best friend, that's not the reason we slipt nor the reason he and his old friend slipt," she says.

"Not what I heard," I mumble under my breath.

"Yeah well we both know Chase can lie like his life depends on it," she says.

I hate to admit it, but it's the truth.

Before any of us can say anything, a tall figure hovers over us. He runs a hand through his hair before speaking.

"I'll be honest, my friends bet that I couldn't talk to the prettiest girls in here," he says causing me to raise an eyebrow.

"What do you say, wanna use their money to buy drinks?" He questions.

── ·✩· ──

Not to my surprise, a few drinks later I couldn't say my name. The guy who approached us is Cole and his friends were Greg and James.

They all work together and are definitely looking to leave here with a hand down their pants.

"I've heard of this insane place that has the best wings, we could go there for some food," Greg suggests.

"Wings?" Tabitha chuckles.

"Are they hot?" Kate questions, and they laugh lightly.

"Definitely hot like you," James says, his arm tightly secured around her waist.

God, we're so fucked.

"Isn't your brother expecting you?" I ask Katelyn as I get up from my seat and squeeze myself in between the two of them.

"Gosh, he must be worried, we should get going, let me call him,"

"There's no need, we can take you guys home," James says a small smile on his face as the hot scent of liquor fills my nose.

"We're good," I mumble causing him to shake his head lightly.

Katelyn takes her phone out of her bag before excusing herself.

"Shit, it's almost two in the morning, we still haven't finished that work," Greg mutters.

"Yeah, we should probably head out," James says.

"We can't just leave them here, they're tremendously drunk," Cole mutters.

"They already denied us twice, we should go," James says and I roll my eyes.

Katelyn soon returns and sits next to me again, "He's coming and he didn't seem too happy about you being a part of my rebelliousness," she slurs and a small laugh escapes her lips.

"See they're fine," James speaks causing Cole to roll his eyes.

Cole grabs his pen from his pocket and takes a napkin from the table before scribbling something. He hands it to me with a small smile before speaking.

"Text me when you get in safe," he says before he stands up along with the rest of his friends.

"See you guys around hopefully," Cole mutters before they walk towards the exit.

"Cole has the hots for somebody," Tabitha chuckles and I roll my eyes before placing the napkin into my pocket.

"I'm not even texting him," I groan.

"Why not, he's into you and seems like the nicest guy out of all of them," Tabitha says and I shrug.

"She has the hits for my brother,"

"Oh shut up," I mumble.

A car skids outside, allowing us to hear the tires slide against the ground. "I hope that's not them," Katelyn mutters.

"I don't think they're that drunk," Tabitha mutters resting her head against the back of the soft couch.

"Neither am I," Katelyn mutters causing us to laugh.

"I can't believe I actually had fun today," I say.

"Finally got out of that tight bubble of yours huh," Tabitha jokes. I shake my head before running my finger through my hair.

"You know Katelyn, I envy you, you have a perfect life and everything just goes your way," I shrug, letting out a deep breath.

"My life isn't half as perfect as yours," she mutters and I roll my eyes.

"You're definitely saying that to make me feel better,"

"I'm serious, your life has always seemed perfect," she mutters causing me to look over at her.

If she only knew the half of it.

"Guys, what about my life?" Tabitha questions. We all giggle lightly before taking a small breath.

"And for fuck's sake, can you please stop calling me Katelyn," she shrugs and I chuckle lightly.

"I know it's the one thing that annoys you the most, so I won't," I pause before turning my head to look at her once again.

"For now," I say with a small smile.

"Good to see all of you are having fun, now get your asses up and get in the car," a voice says causing all of us to turn our heads towards the person standing in front of us.

"Your brother is Tristan?" Tabitha exclaims with a raised brow.

"Long story,"
