ALLISON

ASPEN parked her car in the curb and went out, locking it shut behind her.

We're on a brick like building, and the outside looks so peaceful.

"It might look like some abandoned building, no sound, no anything. But as soon as we get inside, we drown into music." She sat on her car, and I crossed my arms and followed her actions.

"I have to say, i'm pretty impressed of Calum Hood. He did everything." He pressed her lips together as I nodded at the name.

Oh yeah, Calum Hood's parents are rich as hell.

"Let's go." Aspen pulled me to the small, metal door.

As we got inside, there are a lot of people to say, the least, and I immediately guessed that the whole building is soundproofed.

It looked so furnished in the inside, that I am in awe.

"Let's go the back." Aspen pulled me outside to the back, which is decorated in small japanese lanterns on both walls. It doesn't have a ceiling.

A lot of the people are here outside, with small tall tables lined up in each side, and small couches scattered everywhere.

Aspen pulled me to a round couch without anynone in it, and she grabbed two drinks from a passing waiter.

This place is damn expensive.

If you think about it, Hood's dad allows his child to bave parties whenever he likes." I nodded.

"Really?" I asked. "Yeah. And if you're wondering why, it's because.... His dad is a gambler. Like, really a rich gambler. They hold theirs on the top of this building, in which when we get caught, we're the first ones to be caught and inspected, and they'll have enough time to escape."

Well I do wonder how Aspen knows these things. "How do you know all of this?" I asked. "It's because Ca-"

"ASPEN!!!" Our heads all snap to Calum Hood's direction. "Good to see you here, lady." He kissed Aspen's cheek, and wiggled his eyebrows at me.

Luke, Ashton, and Michael are at his back, bringing goblets with alcoholic contents inside. Calum sat next Aspen, and Ashton sat next to me, Michael next to Ashton, but Luke sat next to Calum, which is a bit in front of me.

"Didn't know you we're friends with Aspen." Ashton whispered at my ear.

"We knew each other since we were kids. Our parents know each other. Except the fact that my parents aren't actually my real parents." I laughed.

Ashton's grin faded, but I ignored him and glanced at Calum and Aspen who are talking to each other non stop.

But everytime I watch the both, I just can't avoid Luke's face to come into view.

I kept my head hung low instead, while scrolling randomly on my phone, stalking Harry Styles or whatever.

"Hey, can you get me a drink?" Aspen asked, frowning like she's begging me. I nodded, because I want to go out of this hell of a couch.

I stood up, going inside the fetch a drink. I'm currently waiting on a tall stool, because the bartender is too slow to even prepare the drinks.

I felt someone sit next to me, and I turned my head to see who it is. But then it disappointed me. Of course it's always him.

He's keeping his stupid gaze on me, and I even wonder why. "What do you want, Luke?" I snapped, avoiding to look him right in the eye.

"You're too assuming to think that. You're too ugly for my vision anyway."
