My eyes snapped to the ground spotting the bottles through the car windows messily stern about on the neatly cut lawn. The loud music thumped throughout the vehicle causing it shake from the overpowered vibration. I knew the neighbors were beyond pissed at this ruckus especially at this hour in the night and simply because they would not be getting a kick of sleep.

A few individuals could be spotted outside and you could easily tell that they were either drunk or tipsy.

Others were in clusters randomly sitting around on the chairs provided or making out, dancing or just conversing amongst each other. A few drunkards could be spotted stumbling around or puking in the bushes. I scrunched up my nose in disgust. I only prayed I didn't become one of them by the time we were ready to leave.

Exiting the vehicle I shut the car door behind me as I stood on the marbled path.

Arlo stuck himself to my side as me made our way inside pushing through the thick sweaty crowd.

Mel texted me earlier saying she was at the bar and was even nice enough to give me directions. Feeling a hand wrapping around mine I continued pushing my way through the crowd knowing it was Arlo's.

Locating the bar I immediately spotted Melody chatting it up with Asher who gently bumped his shoulder into hers after whispering something into her ear making her bite her lip.

Nasty fuckers.

Her honey eyes flickered to mine and I grinned. I wanted to hug her so badly but Arlo's grip was preventing me from running up towards her to do so.

"I'm not letting go" he says sternly as if sensing my intentions.

I rolled my eyes continuing to make my way towards my other half.

Mel's eyes immediately snapped down to our conjoined hands but said nothing as she passed me a solo cup which I desperately needed right now.

Placing the cup to my lips my nose burned from the acrid smell of various liquors combined. I was glad to have eaten something earlier because this shit was going to do some real damage later on.

Downing the liquid I grimaced as it burned my throat, but I was glad for the small distraction. Removing the empty cup from my lips Mel chuckles.

"You're still so bad at drinking"

I laughed knowing I was a horrible drinker. My alcohol tolerance was so damn weak. "And that's never going to change. Hey Asher"

He grinned, "glad to see that you could make it and I see you brought a...friend?"

Melody stifled her laughter. And I bit my lip, "boyfriend" Arlo snapped.

"My bad man" Asher states finishing up his drink.

"Want another one?" Asher asked me. "No she's fine" Arlo buts in as if I couldn't speak for myself.

I swear sometimes he treats me as if I'm a kid instead of a grown woman.
