the month of june in pennsylvania started with steven taking eden to a beginning of summer party.

it was in ricky's backyard.

eden limited her alcohol intake this time because every time she over drank, there seemed to always be an issue and she didn't want that. she wanted a new summer. a fresh start. she wanted to drink, but she didn't want to be out of control. it was going to be happy medium for her.

there was a dj and a live band that sang a few cover songs.

eden and steven jammed out to the music together then began playing some drinking games.

"okay, it's me and eden against ricky and clara! couple versus couple!" steven exclaimed.

"let's do it, bro!" ricky yelled.

they set up the cups on the bear pong table and began playing.

eden got one shot it, but missed one, so the other team had to down the beer.

they went back and forth until each team had a cup left.

steven exhaled and threw the ball, landing it in.

"yes!" eden cheered and they high-fived.

clara got her redemption shot, but missed.

"haha! we're the winners! loserrrrrr!" steven laughed and pointed at ricky.

"oh whatever bro, this game is rigged." ricky rolled his eyes.

"how could it possibly be rigged?" eden raised her eyebrows.

"i don't know, it just is!" ricky yelled.

clara just shook her head and eden laughed.

"okay. sure, buddy." steven nodded.

"yeah, yeah. come on clar, you want another drink?" ricky asked.

"sure." clara agreed.

"we'll be back, bro!" ricky called and led his girlfriend over to the cooler of beers.

"you want another drink?" steven asked.

eden was a little tipsy, so she didn't think she should have another drink.

"uh, no, i'm good, but i'll go with you to get one if you want." eden answered.

"cool, let's go."

he went to walk away, but grabbed the cup of beer from the table.

"i want this first."

he downed the beer, then crushed it and threw it on the ground, then shouted, "whoooo!"

eden laughed. "come on."

they went over to the drinks and eden grabbed herself a dr. pepper from the cooler and steven mixed some pink whitney with lemonade and sprite.

eden stared at the cup.

"you want one, don't you?" steven raised his eyebrows with a smoke.

"yeah." she muttered.

he nodded. "yeah."

he made her one and handed it to her, so that she was now double fisted.

"but this is my last one!" she pointed.

steven nodded. "sure."

she began sipping on it and steven said he'd be back and went to go greet some partygoers who had just arrived.

clara and ricky came back over to eden.

"where's my boy?" ricky asked.

"your boyfriend is over there." eden smirked.
