Liliya and Gracie were about to leave the venue, leaving Louis and Harper behind. "Hey guys wait up" Louis caught up to them, as Harper followed. Gracie gave Liliya a look. "What's up?" Harper crossed her arms clearly not glad Louis was speaking with his ex.

"Do you guys want to go out for drinks?" Liliya and Gracie agreed "Are you okay with that Harper?" Liliya gave her a smile "Yeah" She gritted through her teeth. "Okay cool, there's a place down the street" Louis informed

The four of them walked in silence. Liliya noticed had Louis gravitated towards her - a manner he always had. They accidentally brushed arma. "Sorry" They muttered at the same time, Liliya's cheeks turned red from embarrassment, as Louis just chuckled.

Harper pushed Liliya slightly and attempted to grab Louis's hand. Louis gave Liliya a smile of sympathy. "Okay what the fuck is her problem" Gracie scoffed "No clue, i didn't do anything, literally though."

Everyone walked through the bar's door. The smell alcohol filled the room, Liliya scanned the crowded place, searching for a spot to sit. Louis ended up leading them towards a table. "I'll go get us drinks" That left the three girls sitting alone

"We haven't properly met, im Gracie" She stuck out her hand "Harper." The girl spoke coldly and shook Gracie's hand. Gracie turned back to Liliya. "Maybe she's playing Wednesday Addams to well"

It seemed Harper heard since she let out a scoff. Liliya sighed in relief as Louis came back with tons of drinks. He handed each of them a drink, "My treat"

Harper finished her drink pretty quickly and went for a second. Liliya sipped her drink slowly, making occasional small talk with Louis and Gracie.

"I seriously didn't expect you two to do a performance together" Louis set down his drink "Honestly i didn't either, Liliya barley mentioned it in the morning" Liliya laughed recalling the events

"Im just glad Gracie said yes" Liliya was half way down with her drink, She looked over at Harper who was on her third. "Im kinda worried" Even tho Liliya wasn't on good terms with Harper that didn't mean she dosent care about her anymore. Liliya was concerned for Harper.

Harper caught Liliya's gaze and she quickly looked away. "Louis i think you should tell her to slow down" Louis glanced at Harper who was finishing up her drink "They're not even dating"
Louis didn't answer "She looks fine" Liliya couldn't shake the feeling off.

"Harper maybe you should take it slow" Harper laughed "I don't care" Liliya shook her head as Harper finished yet another drink. Liliya tried stopping her "Stop it" It was clear Harper was now drunk

"No, Harper your really intoxicated" Liliya tried to get the drink away from her "Fuck you, you're just mad im with your ex" Harper crossed her arms as Liliya looked at her in disbelief

"Seriously Harps? what's your problem? you're not the person i used to know" Liliya felt hurt "My problem is you, your so stuck up, i don't know how i put up with you" Gracie tried to grab Liliya before things escalated

"I never really liked you Lills, i used you" Liliya tried brushing off Harper's words "How? Why?" Those were the words Liliya muttered "By pretending to be your friend so i can get with Louis" At this point Liliya was also drunk
