Chapter dedicated to @AnimalandFoodLover ! Go give her a follow, along with me! :)

•••••••••••

It's currently seven, Ellie and I are getting ready. She picked out the most revealing and uncomfortable outfit I have ever laid eyes on for myself.

The gelato was delicious, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

I sit down in the chair and do some basic makeup, trying to avoid eyeshadow. "Leah, you need some purple eyeshadow to match the heels"

There goes that.

I quickly do a beautiful eyeshadow look with some purples, shimmers and neutral colors, slapping on some false lashes and a perfect wing.

Once my makeup is done I let Ellie finish curling my hair. They're tight for now but once they cool off and I change we're going to brush them out, giving it a beachy look.

I slip into the skintight black dress, struggling to breathe. I quickly put some rings and bracelets on as Ellie finishes getting ready and try the heels on.

They're high.

"Oh my gosh. You're going to have all the guys drooling" She looks me up and down, her hair almost curled.

"Oh shush up" I shake my head, taking the heels off and covering my chest, not comfortable with the cutout.

"If you got it, flaunt it" She peels my hands off, dancing.

"Save your dancing for when we get there" I laugh, getting my phone. "Le, can you please do my eyeshadow? You're so much better than me"

I nod, glancing at her outfit. It's a beautiful black lace top and some black jeans.

"What color is your jewelry?" I ask, trying to decide the look. "Gold".

I quickly get to work by putting some browns and gold glitter over it. I make a wing out of brown shadow and put some of the gold glitter right below her water line. After the shadow is done, I put the lashes on and she gets changed.

"You work miracles" She laughs.

I shake my head, turning around so she can get dressed.

"Put your heels on, we're getting a picture" Ellie hits my arm.

We quickly take a picture and meet the guys out by the car.

"I say we take a cab just incase" Ellie suggests.

"No, I'm not drinking" I stop her as we walk out.

"You sure?" She asks. "Yeah, of course" I nod as we stand in front of the guys.

"You look, wow" Brooks bores his eyes into Ellie's. A smile spreads on my face at the love radiating between them.

I turn to look at Mason. He's wearing a short-sleeve button down shirt with the top two button open. His hair is styled messily and he is wearing a black pair of jeans. He looks good.

"Well don't you look good" I smile, placing a light kiss on his cheek.

"You look absolutely breathtaking" He smiles at me.

His eyes travel down to my heels.

"Ellie, you put her in hooker heels" Masons eyes bulge.

I laugh, shaking my head.

"I like them. They're just so uncomfortable" I laugh.

"You do things to me I never thought anyone could" He whispers in my ear, a light blush creeps up my face.

"Lets go" Ellie smiles, clapping.

Brooks slides into the drivers side and Ellie in the passengers.

Mason sits next to me, intertwining our hands.

The drive to the club is quick. I didn't realize just how many there were in this little town.

We get in without a problem, considering the drinking age here is 16.

"Brooks, get me a drink. Mas, get Leah something too. We're going to dance" Ellie shouts over the music, grabbing my hand.

She wasted absolutely no time.

"Let loose Le, it's fun. I promise" Ellie tries to ease my uncomfort.

I try and do as told, suddenly feeling very nervous and overheated.

Mason and Brooks soon find us, drinks in their hands.

"I brought you your drink" Mason smiles, handing me the Strawberry Daiquiri.

"Thank you" I kiss his cheek, thankful for the frozen drink.

"What are you drinking?" I ask, observing the pink liquid over the ice cubes.

"It's called a Paloma. I wanted to try something different. Its tequila, lime juice and grapefruit soda" He nods.

"And its good?" I furrow my eyebrows. Not a single thing in that drink sounds good to me.

"It's not bad. Probably wouldn't get it again but I wouldn't be against it" He shrugs, slinging an arm around my waist.

"Okay, well thats good. I'm glad you're enjoying it" I smile up at him.

"Mason, shoo. We were dancing" Ellie rolls her eyes grabbing my free hand and pulling me towards her.

I turn around, silently begging for Masons help, to which he chuckles at and sends me an air kiss.

'I'll remember that' I mouth, taking another sip of my drink.

"Are you having fun?" Ellie laughs, swinging her hips.

I laugh, shaking my head. Ellie has wasted absolutely no time to get a couple drinks in her system.

"I'm sorry, I had a couple drinks. I'm just a little tipsy" She pulls me closer to her, holding her fingers out to signal how tipsy she is.

"I'll stop drinking though. I don't want to upset you" She grabs my hand, spinning me.

"No, you honestly don't have to. I don't mind. If I constantly try and block out everyone who drinks alcohol I'll have no life or friends" I explain, she looks at me hesitantly.

"Can I give you my opinion? If I wasn't tipsy this would never be getting out" She emphasizes 'never'.

"I think. I think you need closure. You're doing great. Absolutely amazing babe, I mean look at you. You sexy thing" She holds my cheeks.

"I'm not following" I try and go over what she's saying.

"I think, you need to go and see your parents. I'll go with you, my brother will, my parents, Bella would too. I just think you need to go and get anything off your chest. It could be your saving grace. I'm scared that you're holding back because of them" She explains.

Wow, tipsy Ellie is very wise.

"I know, I've been thinking about it and considering it for a while now. I'm just not sure I'm ready yet. I mean, its all still so raw" I rub my arm.

"I love you Le. We're always going to be here for you. At least I am" She smiles finishing her drink and running to go put the empty glass down.

"Now, lets have fun" She smiles, dancing.

Soon, Brooks and Mason join us, I'm actually having a lot of fun.

"You're sisters had a little too much to drink" I smile up at Mason.

"Oh yeah?" He smiles down at me, his hands finding their way to my hips.

"And it seems like you have too" I poke his chest as the smell of liquor hits me.

"I've only have three drinks, max" He shakes his head, moving his hands to match my hips.

"You've got rhythm Le" He leans down, whispering in my ear. "It's hot"

"Cut it out. I'm still upset" I hit his shoulder.

"I'm sorry babe, I really am. I was so out of line and should have never done or acted like that" He hugs me, his grip is strong.

"Guys, dance" Ellie yells, pulling us apart.

"Ellie, my gosh" Brooks laughs, grabbing her hand. "Brooks" She whines.

The alcohol is kicking in even more.

I look down at my empty glass, Masons eyes follow mine. "You want another?" He smiles.

"I kind of want something else" I shrug. Mason grabs the glass from me and places it on a table, grabbing my hand.

"Lets go get you something new" He leads me to the direction of the bar, his grip on my hand never loosening.

"Hey, I'll take a virgin Manhattan and a Whiskey Sour" Mason orders some drinks.

"Lets go find a table" He says once we get our drinks.

Once we find a table, we sit down and he takes a sip of his, stretching.

"Try it. I figured you would like it. Its very fruity, just like the daiquiri" He nods towards the drink.

I give him a small smile before bringing the glass to my lips.

"It's really good" I nod, placing it down.

It is definitely something I would get again. "You're good at this, Mas" I laugh, a smile forming on his face.

"Mason White, you haven't changed a bit. What is up man?" I hesitantly turn around to find the source of the voice.

Masons expression hardens immediately and I know this isn't good.

"What do you want, Peter?" He clenches his jaw.

Mason is not the best at controlling his temper. He's gotten better, but definitely not good.

"I see you still have bįtches. Always been the man, White. I praise you for it" He smirks, a drink in hand.

My eyes widen, I quickly grab Masons hand under the table, hopeful he won't start anything. Although, I wouldn't blame him if he did.

"Actually, Peter, she's my girlfriend. Thats more than you can say" He bites his lip, his chest rising and falling rapidly.

"Oh yeah? And how long have you two been 'dating'? A day? Two? You bored yet? I have some girls waiting for me outside, I'll let you have one" He says and at this Mason is steaming.

I tighten my grip on Masons hand, my heart beating erratically and feelings getting more and more hurt.

"I think you should go. Now" Mason cracks his knuckles.

"No man, I wan't to catch up" He goes to sit down next to me, Masons arm immediately shoots out to stop him.

"No, I think you should go" He says, firmly.

"You definitely should" Ellie spits out at him. If this was a cartoon, smoke would be blowing out of her ears.

"Well, if it isn't Elizabeth White" His smirk widens as he looks her up and down.

"Ah, and Brooks Price. You two an item now? That's disappointing" He tsk's as Brooks wraps a protective arm around Ellie.

"I think I'll sit, have a drink with you guys for a while" He slides into the booth next to me, trapping me.

"Listen man, I would get up if I was you. We don't want any trouble" Brooks intervenes glancing at Mason and Peter.

"Oh, I don't either. I simply want to catch up. It's been a while" He says, his hand slowly moving closer to my thigh.

I feel my heart rate increase. Mason stares at him furiously.

His cold hand comes in contact with my bare skin and I gasp, tensing up even more.

"Let my girlfriend out" Mason glares at him.

"Man, you aren't fooling me. She's not either. Stop being so selfish and share her" His hand moves up and I quickly grab it, moving it away.

"I'm not anyone's slüt. I won't be treated or talked to like I am" I finally find my voice.

"She speaks" He flashes a crooked smile.

Mason stands up, pulling him out by his shirt. "I'm not going to cause a scene. But I promise you, talk to my girlfriend like that again, and I won't hesitate to show you that I'm the same old me. Got it?" He spits at him, grabbing my hand and leading me out of the club.

"Are you okay?" I ask him as soon as we get away from the loud music.

"Am I okay? The real question is are you okay? Le, I-"He rushes, running his hands through his hair.

"Mas, stop. I'm fine. You didn't do anything wrong, you actually did everything right. Now, are you okay?" I wrap my arms around his waist, hugging him tight.

"I'm fine, yeah. I just hate that guy with everything in me" He breathes out, tightening his arms around me.

"Let's not let this ruin tonight, okay? Come on, I'll buy you a drink" I kiss his cheek, grabbing his hand and dragging him back into the club.

He joins next to me, wrapping an arm around my waist.

"What do you want?" I ask him.

"Something strong" He laughs, shaking his head.

"Hi, can I get a drink? Something strong" I smile at the bartender. "I was kidding" Mason laughs.

"Oh well, take it" I smile, handing it to him and quickly pay for it.

"I can't. I've been getting stuff with small amounts of alcohol. This is straight liquor" He sighs.

"Mason, as I told your sister, I don't care. I need to not isolate myself from alcohol, now drink it" I place it in his hand.

"Are you sure?" He stares into my eyes. "Yes, now drink"

He takes a sip, tilting his head back. He screws his eyes shut, making a sound when he's done.

"Shįt Le" He laughs, I smile.

"What?" He asks, confused.

"Nothing" I brush it off, hiding the smile on my face.

"You're full of it" He shakes his head.

"Full of what?" I glare at him.

"Bologna" He grins at me, kissing my cheek.

"Oh shut up" I laugh, rolling my eyes at his childish behavior.

"Come on, lets go dance" He tilts his head back, finishing the drink.

We make our way onto the dance floor, finding Ellie and Brooks.

One minor setback won't ruin our night.

A little light hearted chapter with some drama. I really didn't know what to write this chapter about but the next will be good! I'm sorry for the boring, filler chapter. I will be updating the character list to show who I imagine Alexis and Elijah to be, so stay tuned for that. Probably going up sometime tomorrow. I'm also so sorry for the late update. I was super busy today. If I don't update before Thursday, Happy Thanksgiving!! I'm thankful for all of you!

Question: Disney or Nickelodeon?

Answer: I loveee Disney but there are some really good Nickelodeon shows and movies. I'm sort of split.
