"Can I get someone to put these curtains up there and these tables behind that side of the pool" Bellami pointed as she directed how she wanted things to be organized for her costume party.

Mallory walked down the stairs of the backyard balcony and looked at all the decorations especially the ones inside the pool. "Floating pumpkins? You're aware that we're in the middle of November right?" Mallory looked at Bellami.

"It's the perfect season to have pumpkins on floating devices all over the pool. Have you decided what you're going to wear?" Bellami asked Mallory who was looking at the garland of balloons that were gold, orange, white, and black.

"I'm stuck between black widow or lara croft from tomb raider" Mallory shrugged. "Why can't you wear something like a dress that will make you look sexy?" Bellami frowned.

"I look sexy in anything I wear, I was thinking about Mrs Smith with a long black dress and a gun but that's to basic right?" Mallory raised her brow. "What are you wearing?" Mallory asked Bellami.

"I'm dressing as tinker bell" Bellami smiled. "so why the party?" Mallory asked.

"Mom and dad let me since they left to Mexico and it's something we can have fun with. Now go get ready" Bellami said to Mallory who smiled and walked away. "And exactly who did you invite, I'm asking because you got a ferris wheel, a mechanic bull and four bungee trampolines." Mallory pointed to the set up.

"Everyone from school, do you think I should get another mechanical bull?" Bellami asked Mallory who widened her eyes and walked away.

Mallory went up to her room and finished doing her homework before taking a shower.

When she stepped out to the backyard she tried looking for Bellami as people were arriving.

"Have you seen Bellami?" Mallory asked Dimitri who was dressed as a police officer.

"Hey, you look great" Dimitri smiled. "I haven't seen her" he added. Mallory walked away and began walking towards the balcony stairs when she bumped into someone she didn't expect.

"I'm sorry, oh hey" Ethan said when he realized it was Mallory.

"Hey, did Bellami ask you to come?I thought you moved?" Mallory asked Bellami's ex boyfriend.

"No, I was looking for her and about me moving I did but my father actually has some business to attend here so we came back for the weekend" Ethan smiled.

"You're really into her aren't you?" Mallory asked. "Who? Your sister? Yeah" Ethan smiled.

"Where exactly did you move?" Mallory asked. "We haven't settled yet we've been traveling all this time, sometimes I want to come back here to live even if it's by myself, we'll see" Ethan shrugged.

"You want to move back for Bellami or because you miss it here?"

"Both. What about you, how are things going between you and Dimitri?" Ethan looked over at Dimitri and waved. "We're not together anymore but I hope that you make the right decision, you're a good person I'm sure you're the ideal person for Bella" Mallory smiled before she walked away as she saw Dimitri walking over to them to greet Ethan.

"I get that you're trying to show everyone your humble but why the janitor costume?"

Mallory turned to see Liam walk in with Devin. Liam was dressed as Anakin Skywalker and Devin as Obi wan Kenobi from star wars.

"Oh your Black widow, it looks like a janitors costume from behind,nice gun" Liam pointed. "It's a taser want to try it?" Mallory grabbed the taser gun from her costume belt.

"I'd rather stick to my lightsaber" Liam smiled. "Have you seen Zeke?" Devin asked.

"He's coming?" Mallory frowned. "Who do you think is wearing the chubaca costume?" Liam smiled.

"Chubaca?" Mallory said in disbelief. "He's playing" Devin shook his head. "Yeah I was joking he's actually dressed as Yoda" Liam smiled wanting to laugh at Mallorys disbelief. "No I'm joking Mal, I don't know what he's dressing up as or if he's coming" Liam said.

"Mal" Bellami grabbed Mallory's arm.

"Angels are falling from the sky, hello beautiful" Liam smirked making Bellami smile.

"She's tinker bell" Mallory frowned. "I know that, I said angel hence her wings. It's a joke" Liam said to Mallory who only rolled her eyes.

"Bars by the pool, I have to take her for a sec but enjoy the party" Bellami said to them as she pulled Mallory.

"Can't believe you once dated Bellami, the Kline girls are smoking hot even the mom. I've seen the grandma in the magazines and she still has her thing too" Liam said to Devin as they walked away.

"Can you help me cinch my waist" Bellami said once they were inside their home. They stepped into their mother's studio and Bellami rolled her dress down so Mallory could help her.

"Is he coming?" Bellami asked. "Who?" Mallory answered. "The person you ran out of the café for, if he shows up make sure people don't see you together or at least the house security because word can always get to father" Bellami looked at Mallory over her shoulder.

"Are you going to be the one to tell them? Because I've stayed quiet when you've asked me to. I just hope you're as loyal to me as I am to you" Mallory pulled the last laces hard making Bellami gasp as her waist was now tightly cinched.

Mallory then went up to her room and decided to change into her lara croft costume because the black widow costume was getting itchy.

Mallory stepped out to the party and walked over to Liam. "Is he coming?" She asked him.

Liam smiled, "maybe he's here already"

Mallory turned to see if she could spot Ezekiel but when she didn't she looked back at Liam and Devin who was taking a jello shot.

"Is he here?" Mallory asked Devin who looked at Liam. None of them answered making Mallory impatient.

"If he's not here ask him not to come and if he is get him out of here" Mallory said to them before turning but she bumped just into him exactly. Mallory eyed him as he was dressed as Mickey O Neil from the movie snatch.

"Why don't you tell me yourself?" Ezekiel smirked.

"I never repeat myself" Mallory answered.

"Good because I didn't really hear you so guess I'll be staying" Ezekiel smiled. "By the way if I knew you were dressing as lara croft and I as mickey o neil, I would've texted you so we could of simply dressed as Mr and Mrs Smith, we're always fighting anyway" Ezekiel said before he walked away with Liam and Devin.
