Just A Celebration

It's a warm Friday night and the city was beginning to calm down. At least in its own way. The city of lights never really sleeps, people are just either in their homes chillin, drunk on the street after a Friday night,  working late,  or...yunno...cheating on their loved ones as they sleep.

My friends and I on the other hand....

"Y/N, biiitch if you don't pass the blunt and stop talking about your wack ass cheating ex! It's Friday and I'm trying NOT to think negatively but Oo girl you're trying me!" Mike said jokingly but also seriously while holding his hand out for the blunt

I take one more hit and pass the blunt as I come to the realization that's he's right and I should loosen up and forget about my ex.

"You're right," I suck the smoke in deeply and hold it "fuck him" I exhale "he's in the past, let's get lit tonight!"

My friends scream in agreement as we hug each other dancing and skipping down the street as we celebrate my now thriving celebrity photography business for magazines.

"Let's go get some drinks angels I wanna get a little cross faded" Diamond suggested

While everyone else agreed I had an awkward smile on my face as I didn't want to do too much tonight. Someone's gotta look out for the group right?

We walk into 'Jeremys Night Bar' and find a table open for us all to sit at,

"What can I get for you ladies?" the bartender asked
"Umm and gentlemen excuse me? " Mike said "you see me"
"Oh—sorry, what can I get for you ladies and gentlemen?" He says apologetically

"I'll take a Manhattan thank you" Mike said
"A martini please" Said Georgia "Cosmopolitan" Diamond said then looks at Mike to chuckle at his response to the bartender ,
"ummm I'll just take a ginger ale thank you so much." I said while Diamond and Mike side eyed me, "I'll just take a ginger ale aswell thanks" Jade said.

"Alright be right back" the bartender says.

"Um I'll just take a ginger ale thank you oh so much kind sir" Diamond mocked me playfully "oh could I please have a side of you with my drink please?" Mike joined as Georgia laughed

I smiled weakly as I feel very strong about the way you treat people who handle the food and drinks you order.

"You guys, she was trying to be nice" Jade defended "You should really watch how you talk to the people who handle your drinks" she continued.

Jade and I were very much alike as we grew up together. We knew exactly what one another was thinking and what really went on behind our smiles. Mike , Georgia, and Diamond we're our friends of course and great friends at that, but Jade and I are closer. Like cousins. Like blood.

I could tell Jade didn't want to do too much tonight either. She's also the one with the address to our hotel for the weekend, so she kinda had to be sober for us to find our way back.

After a few blunts, and shots, Jade and I decide it's best to head out.

"I'm—cr-Im faded as hell" Georgia slurred "where's the club?!

"Didn't we just walk out the club...and the other clubs before that?" Jade said

"Nahhhh let's go to anothe—" Mike bumps into someone walking "Ayo watch where the fuck you're going hoe!!" He says as the girl flips him off
"Okayyy I think it's time to take this party to the hotel, let's go," I grab Mike and Georgia's arm "sorry!" I tried to tell the girl.
