Nicole's house was roaring before we even got there, it was filled, people overflowing onto the lawn and patio at the front of the house. Music blared and lights flickered different coloured around the house finished off with a big sign reading 'Belly's Birthday Bash!'

I looked to Belly who gleamed brightly at the sign. "I can't believe Nicole did this all for me." She laughed excitedly. "You deserve it Bell's." Jeremiah turned to her as we walked closer to the house.

I looked to Jeremiah, he was so in love. A part of me hoped he would kiss her tonight, pluck up the courage, and her mind would finally be off Conrad but I knew Jeremiah wouldn't do anything until he one hundred percent knew she was over Conrad, which wouldn't be anytime soon.

"There's the birthday girl!" Nicole shouts as she stands at the front door welcoming guests. "There's one for everyone!" She passes out party hats to us all.

"Oh except the birthday girl, this one's yours." She places a sachet that reads 'birthday girl' around her and then a pink fluffy party hat on her head. "Nicole this is amazing, I can't believe you did this all for me!" Belly laughs a little amazed that she did this for her.

"Well I know we haven't known you long but any friend of the boys and Ellie is a friend to me." Belly hugs her tightly as Nicole stumbles back giggling. "Wow a sachet and a part hat how original." I hear Taylor mutter under her breath.

I turn my head abruptly to her as I hear Jeremiah telling her to shut up. I go behind Taylor who stood in between Conrad and Jeremiah. "Taylor I swear to god if you ruin Belly's night because of your own stupid insecurities-"

"Let me stop you there Ellie." She turns to me, the boys don't turn around but instead walk away, Jeremiah mouthing 'good luck' as they do. "Let's back track, the only person ruining things recently, is you." She towers over me, but she didn't intimidate me in the slightest, I knew Taylor more than she knows.

"It was Just a warning, have a good night Tay." I blow her a kiss as I walk away, knowing me being nice would infuriate more than being snarky back. I walk around the house everyone else already split off. I go to the kitchen where the boys are getting drinks.

"So did you finally scrap Taylor?" Jeremiah's eye gleams as he passes me a shot. "All in good time Jere." I pat his face gently as he smiles batting my hand away.

"Wait where's the Belly? I want to be here for her first shot." I look around the room, I see her with Cam Cameron in the corner, she had a Diet Coke. She looked bored. "Belly! Cam! Shots?" I hold one up in the air. Belly looks to Cam as he ushers her to go. She hops over to us taking the shit from my hand as I quickly pour myself another.

"Cheers to Belly." I raise my glass up as everyone cheers and takes there shot. "Ew oh my god!" Belly burps her eyes pricing with tears. "Don't worry it gets better over time." Conrad says, already poring himself another drink.

"We ready for dancing?" Jeremiah grabs Belly's hand spinning her around. "Is that even a question? You guys coming?" She asks us all but her main point of focus was on Conrad.

"Hell yeah!" Steven jumps off the counter. "I'll be there in a minute just getting a drink." I smile at them as they all leave to the other room. I make myself a drink next to conrad, both of us in silence, I kept looking at him in the corner of my eye to see if he was looking at me, he was.

"This parties... something. I didn't know Nicole and Belly were close." Conrad shrugs taking a sip of his drink. "Come on Con it's sweet, just enjoy it." He rolls his eyes. "Would be better if I actually enjoy it."
