Beautiful Apparation (Tony Perry FF)

thirty-one

The streamers are up, food is cooked, and music is playing. Everything is finally set for Hannah's going away party. It's a surprise, so she has no idea. I invited her and Lynn over for a 'sleepover.'

I go into Vic and Danielle's backyard where all of the guys are. To make it simple, all of B-M-T-H, O-M-A-M, P-T-V, and Issues are here. Plus, Corey and Jeff from my job. So yea, it's quite the hot dog fest.

The only females present are Lynn, Danielle, Alysha, Corey's girlfriend Malia, and I. Malia's honestly the type of girl I'd see Corey with. They're exactly the same. Not that I'm jealous, but I'm going to miss Corey awkwardly flirting with me.

We're all chatting when Mike approaches me.

"You should call Hannah now," He suggests.

I look to Oliver for confirmation. "Go ahead Audrey."

With that, I pull out my phone and dial her number. Just in case the guys ended up being too loud, I enter the empty house again.

"Hello?" She answers with her cheery voice.

"Hey Hannah. Are you still coming over tonight?"

"Yea, for sure. Can I go to your flat now? I'm super bored," She groans.

"Of course, I'll be here. How long do you think you'll be?"

"I don't know, ten minutes at the most. My flat is about packed up."

"See you then."

I hang up the phone and run to the backyard to pass on the news to everyone else.

"Bring her here when you're ready," Matt Kean says before I hurry out of the house.

I'm happy to go back home cause that means I'll get to see Tony, for the moment at least. I know he's bummed that he can't join the party physically.

When I enter the house Daryl greets me happily. Whenever I get the chance I need to take him on a walk. I've been neglecting him lately.

Tony's spotted in my room as usual, watching TV, specifically Maury.

"I used to watch this all the time," I laugh taking a seat next to him. I let my head rest on his chest and he wraps his arm around me.

"Have fun tonight, okay?" He says.

"I'm the definition of fun."

He smirks, "Whatever you say. Don't do anything crazy either Ms.Fun."

"I don't plan on drinking much to be honest. If anything I'll probably eat until I explode, you know, like Squidward," I laugh at my own joke. That episode is a classic.

He gives me a strange look. "What?"

I roll my eyes. "Nothing."

"Those guys are reckless when they're drunk," He warns.

"I've handled them all once before, I can do it one more time."

Before he can respond there's a knock on my door. Thinking it was Hannah I put the bandana that was going to cover her eyes in my back pocket. I open my door and see Danielle instead.

"What's up?" I ask.

"Nothing. Just wanted to keep you company while you waited for Hannah."

"You know I'm not alone." I roll my eyes.

"I know. I just hate how distant you've been lately. I'm trying to make an effort here."

I let her in, wanting to avoid an argument. She goes straight to my room and I follow behind her. Once we enter, it's empty.
