"hey liv? you up here?" i turn from my spot against the wall slightly frazzled. i'm not sure what taylor needs but i can hear her stopping up the steps. "olivia?" she calls my name again and i wipe any remaining tears away before standing and brushing my clothes to straighten them. "hey, yeah?" i call walking out of the room. taylor turns the corner of the steps as i lean against the railing as nonchalantly as possible. "conrad, belly, and jeremiah are going on a supply run and want you to join them," she explains as her phone rings. "oh, yeah sure," i agree as she pulls the phone out of her pocket. "sorry milo," she explains before rolling her eyes and answering. "babe hi," she smiles warmly as if she wasn't annoyed two seconds earlier.

"catch you later," i smile politely were passing her on the stairs. while taylor is dramatic and all, milo is on fucking steroids then with his drama. he's really into his music, if you could call it that. he's tried to get the girls and i to play backup for him but he's a fucking psycho so it's always been a no. "bells?" i call as i reach the bottom of the stairs hoping she's ready to go. "belly! i yell again as i turn to head down the hall. "bel-" but i'm cut off cause belly and the boys are in the kitchen. "oh, you guys ready?" i flush embarrassed from yelling so obnoxiously.

"yep," belly pops the p. "we need to get the drinks first and then party supplies, taylor and steven are working on the invites and sky and cam are-" she pauses. "i'm not sure what they're doing, she thinks for a second before turning to jer. "they're getting food," he reminds her and she smacks her head. "oh shit yeah, sorry my brain so full of ideas right now," she laughs all giddily making us all smile. "well we better get the show on the road," conrad quips out with a yawn.

"shot gun!" jer screams making belly roll her yes. "whatever you want passenger princess," i tease as i follow conrad out to the jeep. "oh belly i told the girls about the party and then james too so we already have 4 people if james brings his boyfriend," i tell her and she doesn't respond. i turn to look at her and she's coming things off with her fingers. "you good bell?" i ask and she looks to me slightly confused. "yeah, just thinking about things we'll possibly need. you think we could find a keg?" she asks her boyfriends and he rolls his eyes. "someone will bring one, don't worry. we just need enough stuff to start the party and others with finish it," he comforts as i climb into the back behind conrad.

"read the list, bells?" i ask the girl as she climbs into the car next to me. "just so you don't forget something," i add as she buckles up. "okay, we need party supplies, anything we think we might need when we get to the store," she adds as conrad pulls out. "we need alcohol, and we need party clothes," she says the last part like she had just thought of it. "okay, sounds good to me." jer nods from his spot in the passenger seat. "first stop, russell's!" jer is way too hyped to be buying beer underage.

"all right, so, beer, tequila, vodka," belly lists off as conrad parks into the gas station parking lot. "-gin for skye!" jermiah adds and i let out a small laugh at the same time as belly. "who drinks gin?" she looks between me and her boyfriend in shock. "old people," conrad explains before adding, "and sky." jermiah agrees with him as belly looks to me still smiling and i shrug holding back my own smile.

"all right, i'll take care of this," conrad flashes his fake id and i roll my eyes. "with that?" jer asks laughing as his brother gets out of the car. "he'll be back, empty handed," i explain once he's out of earshot. "fritz herbertson will not be getting any beer today," i explain as belly and jer face me with the most shocked smiles i've seen. "fritz-" belly starts as her boyfriend finishes it, "herbertson!" they laugh as i nod my head in the direction of an empty handed conrad.
