jaden walked out of the room and mariano put his arm around her.

"i've missed you," he said softly.

she gives him a light smile. "i've missed you too mar."

"oh get a room you two," cynthia nags.

"oh yeah? you talked about missing y/n more than i do," mariano talks back.

"pfftttt no i dont," cynthia says sarcastically.

"so.. how do you guys meet," i ask y/n, mar, and cynthia.

"well, the first week of summer, at this very bar," mariano began, "i was sitting at the bar with cynthia and jaden until i saw y/n walk in." he turns to y/n and gives a her flirty look. "she was wearing a black and gold skin tight dress, black heels, curled hair, and a golden choker to match with her golden hoops."

"you remember all that?" y/n asked sincerely.

"i will never forget the night we met," mar says. "i asked her to have a drink was us and she was probably the most fun girl i've ever met. we kept her around and ultimately became best friends."

jaden walks in the room with a tray of shots. "oh shit y/n i forgot your usual drink."

"it's alright i'll go get it," she says getting up.

"i'll come with," i say.

y/n and i walk to the bar together.

"hey can i have my usual?" she asks the bartender.

"of course. i still remember it," he says politely and went to go make the drink.

"mattia why are you here?" she immediately asks. "did you follow me?"

"yeah i did. i was worried about you," i respond.

"well i said you didn't have to worry about me."

"since when do you vape?" i ask.

"is that what you're focused on right now?"

"y/n you're just acting out because of your dad's death and it's okay i just wanna let you know i'm here for you," i try taking her hand.

she yanks away. "thank you mattia but i don't need a babysitter. i'm fine and you following me here— kinda doing too much. you can go home now."

"what, so you can fool around with mariano?" i say jealously.

"i never said that."

"you never told me about him."

"you never asked," she says strictly. "and why would i need to tell you about him? it's not like you're my boyfriend."

"yeah, your boyfriend is cameron. or did you forget since you were too busy flirting with mar," i snap.

"i broke up with cameron hours ago. and where was this attitude when we slept together that one night? you didn't care about cameron at that time." she folds her arms and waits for my answer.

i stare at the table, not wanting to answer her because she was right.

"look mattia, just go home okay?" she suggests.

"no. i think i wanna stay," i respond.

"why?"

"cuz cynthia would want me to."

y/n slightly moves her head back, shocked at my response. "you and cynthia ?"

"yeah what's wrong with that?" i ask.

"nothing.." she says sadly. "there's nothing wrong with that."

the bartender comes back with a round of her drinks. "here you go y/n. on the house."

"thank you," she smiles and takes them back to the VIP room. i follow her.

we sat down where we sat earlier and cynthia immediately puts her legs and on me and cuddles me. y/n looks at us and rolls her eyes.

"so.." jaden says breaking the silence, "why are you back all of a sudden? needed fun in your life again?"

"more like a distraction," y/n says while taking a shot.

"from?" mar asks.

"my father's death," she answers casually without hesitating.

cynthia, jaden, and mariano sit up straight and look at her.

"mamas i'm so sorry," mar says rubbing her knee.

"look if i wanted sympathy i would've just stayed home with paige and jason," y/n says. "i said i came for a distraction, are you guys gonna help me that or should i go somewhere else?"

"no, stay," cynthia replied. "we'll give you a distraction," she says sadly. i could tell they wanted her to talk about it and comfort her. but they knew she would just get up and leave.

"that's what i wanna hear."

y/n's pov
i drank a lot. like a lot a lot. all of them drank with me and we were slowly getting drunk. everyone except mattia— he drank here and there but so far he's only taken 3 shots. me? i lost count.

cynthia was all up on him and they were flirting with each other in the corner. i didn't wanna admit it but i was jealous.

a couple hours later..
"y/n it's getting late," mattia says. "we have school tomorrow."

"well she can't drive," mariano says.

"i'm not drunk, i can drive us," mattia responds.

"but my car is here," i said.

"we'll pick it up tomorrow," mattia says grabbing my wrist.

"then how will i get to school?" i ask.

"i'll take you," he answered. "now let's go."

"wait," cynthia says. she walks up to mattia and kisses him and he kisses her back uncomfortably. "okay bye mattia" she winks.

"bye guys," mattia responds, wiping his mouth.

"byeeeee guysssss," i say waving and smiling.

"bye mamas i'll see you tomorrow," mariano informed.

we get to mattia's car and i pass out in the back.
