'You can't just lead me on like this, you whore!"
"What happened last night?" Aria asked from the passenger side of the car. I held onto the drivers wheel and bit the inside of my mouth. I didn't want to think about what happened last night.
The sun was set and we were headed towards the premiere party. Thousands of Gage fans were excited to see our episode premiere so the Gage's took it upon themselves to host a party to watch the airing of the episode.
"Nothing." I whispered in response and shook my head to signal her to drop it. She took it quickly and pressed her lips together before crossing her leg over the other.
"You know Roman is gonna be there." She said with a laugh, "Might be a good idea to make him a little jealous?"
Chuckling, I pushed her slightly, "You're a bad influence on me, Aria."
We both sat in the parking lot, waiting for Julie and Oliver to pull up beside us. For some reason he was so prominent on riding separate from us and it only made me feel worse about the situation. This morning J slipped on a rosary bead and cried on the floor until Bones came inside and slipped on one too.
Speaking of which, where was he?
"Bones? You awake back there?" I leaned my head over the seat and noticed the sleeping dog in the back seat.
"He really misses you, Mads," Aria smiled sadly from the passenger seat as we both looked down on him.
"I know, I know. Things have just been.. hectic."
Aria nodded her head and leaned back into her seat. "There they are now." She whispered as she looked at the window beside me. "You sure you'll be okay tonight? I can always take you home and we can have a little movie night together."
"No, thank you, Aria, you truly are the best." I held onto her hand before turning around and beginning to wake up Bones. "Come on, bud, we gotta go."
His eyes fluttered open and smile plastered across his face once he realized we were at the Gage's. He loved staying at the Gage's, especially when they threw their giant parties.
"Just like the first time, right Bones?" I held my hand out for his paw.
"Just like the first time." He placed his hand on top of mine before jumping into the front seats. Aria and I opened the front doors and exited the cars, letting the trails of our dresses fall behind us before closing the door. Oliver and Julie stood behind their car, Oliver avoiding eye contact and Julie excited that she had rubbed off her fashion sense on me once again.
"You two look so good!" She squealed once Aria came around the car and took my side. "Bones, you too."
Bones barked from my ankles, dressed in his regular suit that he wore every time we went somewhere important instead of the regular sweatshirt Aria had made him for lounging around in the house.
