     I texted Jason to meet me at a local bar that we had been obsessed with for years. It was a western-themed bar call The Saddle Ranch that was tucked away in Los Angeles. I wore black skinny jeans and my all-over white Vans. I threw on a pastel, tie-dyed hoodie with a baby pink baseball cap with bold, black letters that said 'Lemonade' across the front. My hair and makeup were as usual as I couldn't be bothered to get that done up.
Jason told me he was on his way as I downed my first beer, ordering a second one. I started to go on Snapchat, seeing that Todd was posting a photo from outside. I smiled, picking up my new beer and walking towards the entrance. I smiled when I saw him walk in with Scott and he laughed."What the hell? How do you know about this place?"
     I hugged Todd first followed by Scott. "The guys and I found this when we first moved near here. After that we were hooked."
     "We were coming here for guy's night tonight!" Scott smiled.
     "Unofficially." Todd rolled his eyes. "The girls all were going to Gabbie's to have a sleepover, wine-night thing."
     "Oh, that's nice." I smiled, though I was slightly hurt I wasn't invited.
     "Kristen and Liza were going to invite you until Gabbie said no." Scott said, seeing right through my face. "She didn't want Carly and Erin or Christine there either. Don't take it personally."
     "She just wanted a main bitch night?" I raised an eyebrow, mumbling as I sipped my beer. "Stupid as hell."
     Todd laughed. "Believe me, I agree. There's a reason everyone, even I, rag on her."
     Todd looked over my shoulder, seeing Zane and Heath walk in as well. They smiled widely as Jason swooped in behind him. Jason came straight up to me, hugging me tightly. "There's my little single Pringle!"
     I laughed, hugging him back. "Stop! How did you find out?"
     "You need to check Twitter more, lovie." He rolled his eyes. "Babyboy went on a rampage of the decade."
     "Single?" Heath raised an eyebrow and I looked over at him. "I'm proud of you."
     I hugged him, smiling. "Thanks for that."
     Zane gave me a high five when I went to go in for a hug, which made me uncomfortable. He didn't seem to notice however as he spoke. "That's awesome, dude! I saw the rant, though. Did you really throw his shit over the balcony?"
     "He cheated." I shrugged. "He deserved it."
     We all began to walk to the bar and the boys all ordered their drinks, starting off with a beer. He walked up next to me as the boy's began to talk amongst themselves. "What's going to happen with the band?"
     "We are releasing a public statement tomorrow." I sighed, playing with the ends of my hair. "Basically, Jason and I are going to still do music together, but we aren't going to be the same band anymore. Other than that, our label agreed to keep us signed, which is really awesome of them."
     "I'm really happy for you, Casey, seriously." Heath smiled as he took a swig of his beer. "I was getting worried there for a while. You could totally handle yourself, but... I was worried he was gonna get violent with you."
     I scoffed, waving a hand in the air as I took a sip of my beer. "You have a better chance of me sucking Zane's dick before you see Jack take a swing at me."
     "So you admit you thought about it?" Heath grinned.
     "Fuck off." I rolled my eyes, hating when he teased me about Zane. "I said he was cute legit like half a year ago. Let it go."
     "Say no more!" Heath put his hands up in defense and I laughed.
     "So, I think there is a toast in order!" Scott smiled, handing out a round of shots to everyone. We all raised our shot as he spoke. "We are very, very proud of any female who knows how to get shit done! We also wish you and Jason the best of luck with whatever you guys decide to do. But tonight..." He smirked and Zane and Todd rolled their eyes at his dramatics. "Tonight we party!"

 "Tonight we party!"
