Socket still bares the guilt from his sister being hurt years ago, he just doesn't seem to be able to get passed it. He wouldn't have joined the Broken Demons if it weren't for what happened, and while Evie now lives a normal life, Socket has yet to...

Today is Imelda's bridal shower and we're having a tea party at my house, Scarlett is supposed to be helping me set up but so far all she's done is complain about the lack of alcohol and naked men involved, me too girl, me too.
"Have you met Imelda's mom yet?" I ask
"No." Scarlett replies
"Get through today and then you'll see why I'm throwing this kind of shower." I smirk. Imelda's mom is not a fan of me, thinks I turned her innocent catholic daughter into a whore who got pregnant with a stranger. Well she can shut her mouth about that now because here we are celebrating her impending marriage to her baby daddy.
In my back yard I've set out a long table with white and soft pink linens, there's fairy lights and lanterns hanging above, with candles and flowers on the tables. The food includes cute little fingers foods I spent most of yesterday making and pink macaroons and cute girly shit I know Immy will love. To keep Mrs Vasquez happy there's no wine, just pink lemonade and tea.
The shower is in full swing and not only is Imelda loving it but her mother seems to approve too. We've played a few shower games, boring but fun at the same time, now the girls are eating and talking.
"When was the last time you saw my brother?" Evie asks as she sits beside me
"Two days ago why?" I ask confused
"He and Reaper are acting funny, I just wondered if he was being weird with you too." Evie shrugs
"He left really early in the morning, told me his 'prez' needed him and then text me that afternoon that he would be busy for a few days and would call me when he could." I explain.
"I wonder what's going on." She says looking around "I bet Cordelia knows."
I watch Evie walk over to Cordelia before a girl from work comes over and we begin talking.
"Thank you for coming Mrs Vasquez." I smile as I help her into one of the cars I called to take everyone home.
"Hold up." I say as Imelda and the girls try to leave.
"Now the girls from work are gone and Mrs Vasquez is happy the real party can begin." I smirk as I push the girls back into the house. The remaining girls are Imelda, Evie, Scarlett, Izzy, Skye, Indigo, Adeline, Cordelia and Bella
"This is Ernesto and he will be our server for the evening." I smile as I motion to the shirtless muscle man with a bow tie around his neck
"For the bride, virgin cocktails, and for the rest the dirtiest cocktails you can imagine." He says as he places an orange and yellow ombré cocktail down on the make shift bar for Imelda.
"Where do you want us to set up?" I turn around and see the male strippers I hired
"I knew I liked you." Scarlett says as she checks out the eye candy. I show the strippers to the dining room where I've moved all the furniture to give them room to dance and laid out a row of chairs for spectators.
"I have dollar bills." I say as I hand them out to the girls as they bounce in their seats.
"Step up Bride." I smile as I pull Imelda from her seat and move her chair to the middle of the room before pushing her to sit again
"I don't want strippers, I only have eyes for one man." Imelda blushes and I fight to roll my eyes at her cuteness
"I knew you'd say that, so I improvised." I smirk as I sit behind her with the rest of the girls. Thank god the strippers were cool when I gave them my super weird request. They were only happy to oblige.
I bite my lip to stifle my laughter at what's about to come. Vanilla Ice begins to play as the stripper enters from the living room
"Oh my god you did not." Scarlett gasps from beside me
"Oh my god that's hilarious." Skye chuckles. The stripper dances in front of Imelda in his ripped jeans, his chest bare under the leather vest and a really good long blonde wig on his head
"It's Ice Ice Baby!" I finally let my laughter free as Imelda shoots me a dirty look over her shoulder. The stripper takes her hand and guides it over every bump of muscle on his bare torso as he moves
"You know Ice will kill you if he finds out about this." Imelda's sister Bella says
"Well I won't be the one sending him these photos." I smirk as I snap pictures on my cell, Hello new screensaver.
"But you better send them to me." Adeline smirks
"And me!" Cordelia calls
"Hell, lets get you in the old lady group chat so we can all get some." Scarlett laughs as she pulls out her cell phone.
Ernesto saunters in with a tray of shots and hands them to each one of us with his handsome smile. The stripper is down to a metallic thong as he thrusts in front of a bright red Imelda, though I bet she's secretly loving it, Ice is getting lucky tonight.
The song ends and the stripper bows as we applaud
"Please tell me I don't have to do that again." Imelda whimpers as she comes over to me
"Hell if you don't want them, I'll take 'em all!" Scarlett proclaims which sends the rest of the girls correcting her.
"It's alright, there's plenty for everyone." I smirk.
"Doc wants to know if we're having a girly garden party why I keep trying to sext him." Adeline slurs as we giggle. We may be a little too drunk and the bride has fallen asleep on my couch.
"Snitches get stitches." Skye says pointing at Adeline
"Ernesto, another round you beautiful hunk." Cordelia growls before pressing her fingers to her lips and giggling. It has been so much fun partying with these girls tonight, they really know how to let loose, even Evie had a lap dance.
"Natalie, I had so much fun, we need to hang out more." Izzy smiles as she pulls me in for a drunken hug
"Definitely." I smile, I need my bed I'm far too wasted. I wave the girls off as they load into the cars taking them home and turn back to see the strippers finishing up
"Thank you for tonight guys you were awesome." I smile as they head out. I make sure they're gone before texting Ice to come pick up sleeping beauty.
