"Know it's for the better, know it's for the better, know it's for the better"
Sydney was dressed in a white cropped lace tank, a mini jean skirt and white knee high boots, she was walking with Amerie and Darren to Dusty's"Fuck" she let out, they arrived to the house to see Dusty really got a bouncer
"What are we gonna do now?"
"Um... No, i have a plan" Amerie shook her head
"Mm-hmm. And they work so well"
Darren let out a breath once they noticed Dusty's dad, "I hope Dusty's dad is feeling bicurious-"
"Im doing it. Im going in raw"
"That's not what that means!" Darren said through gritted teeth, Amerie dragging the two towards the bouncer
"Hey, uh, i lost my band, but my name should be on the list"
"Yeah? What is it?"
"Harper McLean" she nodded, Sydney showed the dude her band, he nodded before looking at his list, Sydney dragging Darren along inside with her
"All right. In you go" he nodded seeing Harper's name, "Thank you" she said walking up the steps but he grabbed her arm and stopped her
"Is there a problem?" she asked confused, but the bouncer had gotten a picture of Amerie, he grabbed the picture
"No. Sorry, Map Lady, no can do"
"Seriously?"
"Seriously"
"Are you kidding me?"
"No. Move" he waved her off
"I mess up once. Once!" she yelled, turning and walking off
Darren and Sydney were walking around the party, she was looking around for Malakai as they opened the bake gate for Amerie
The two rushed over to the balcony as they heard someone screaming, "What are you doing?" Darren gasped seeing a dripping wet Amerie stood next to Malakai
"We left the back gate open. Did you not see our text?" Darren questioned, Malakai looked up making eye contact with Sydney, the two smiled at each other
They watched Amerie limp over to the door, struggle to open it, "Oh, my God. Come on" Sydney let out a breath, the two going over to the bathroom Amerie was in
Sydney was sat on the edge of the bathtub, Amerie sat on the counter with Darren in front of her drying her dress off
He placed the blowdryer down besides Amerie, "You're good" they said putting their sunglasses on their head
Amerie got off of the counter, "Lets scam" she said, the three began to go through the stuff on the counter
"Dusty's parents have cash flow" Darren said smelling something, Amerie was spraying perfume on herself
"This stuff is so exxy"
"Do you think itll be weird to make out with Dusty, smelling like his mum?" Amerie asked, Sydney raised a brow at her
"Very, very much"
"Darren!" Quinni called out coming into the bathroom, "Darren!" she added making her way over to the bathtub
"What's wrong?" Darren asked looking at her, "Quinni?"
"I was trying to listen. Like, at the date, i was trying so hard, but it was the lights, the people, the sound-"
"It's okay. Deep breaths" Darren said softly, Quinni followed their actions and took a deep breath
"Every time i tried to talk or tried to listen or tried to focus , Sasha would look at me like i was weird. And i like her so much. I really wanted this to work. Like, so badly. And i... I just cant ever do anything. I cant" she cried out
"It's okay" Darren nodded before grabbing Amerie as she tired to touch Quinni, "Oh, oh, oh. No touching the Quinni. Uh... You guys look great. Why dont you go trap some dick. You know where to find us"
"Syd go find Malakai" Darren added, Sydney tilted her head
"Are you sure? I can stay, i dont mind" she shook her head
"It's good" Quinni nodded, smiling slightly
Sydney made her way downstairs and into the kitchen, she smiled once Malaki waved her over
"Hi, Kai" she said accepting the cup he passed her, "Hi, Skittles" he chuckled taking a sip of his own drink
"Mm, Vodka?" she wiped her lip, "With a little bit of tequila" he nodded
"Mm, it's good" she nodded, placing her cup down, "Do you wanna go dance? I think the bands gonna go on soon" she asked playing with her necklace
Malakai smiled, "Of course" he put his hand out, the two interlocked their hands going over to the makeshift stage, where Dusty, Spider and two others were on
"Im a fark!" Spider yelled into the mic, crushing a beer can on his head, everyone cheering
"Whoo!"
"Yeah!"
Malakai laughed as Sydney rolled her eyes, "I told his dumb ass not to do that"
"Hello. Um, thank you all for coming out tonight. We are here in support of the Global Women's Project" Dusty said, everyone cheered once more
"Way to go, yeah! This shit is awesome. Um.. Thanks, dad. Anyway, we're Renaissance Titties"
"Renaissance Tittes!"
"And, um, i just want to give a shoutout to someone special in the audience. Um... There she is" Dusty said pointing at Harper
Sydney turned to the blonde mouth agape, before looking over at Amerie, who was staring at Harper
"Hey, Harper. This song is for Harper McLean. It's called "My Life Is Nothing Without the Warm Embrace of your Sweet Left Cheek". A one, a two, a one, two, three four" Dusty said, they began to play
"Sinking away. Girl, i lay here in your shade. Seasons come and seasons change. Well I..." Dusty sang as Harper ran out, Amerie following
"Oh, my God" Sydney shook her head going to follow the two, Malakai following after her
"Oi!" Amerie yelled out, the two were outside by the road, Malakai and Sydney on the porch
"Harper! Harper, what the fuck!?"
Harper threw her beer can down, turning around to look at Amerie, "I didnt know he was gonna do that"
"So you hooked up with him? The boy i've been in love with for almost five years. The boy ive literally never stopped talking about. Is that what all this was about?"
"No, it's not. It's really not" Harper shook her head, Amerie scoffed, "Look, i didnt even wanna hook up with him, ok? It just... happened"
"Oh. So it was so easy for you"
"Nah, fuck this" Harper shook her head, turning and leaving
"Are you done? Are you done fucking with my life?" Amerie yelled before leaving
Sydney sighed leaning her head on Malakai's shoulder, she understood Amerie's side and Harper's side
Harper's pissed at something Amerie couldnt control, shit the same thing happened to Sydney and she's not pissing on everyone
