Choices

Chapter 53

The one who gives all the good advice that Hope really should listen to... it's Autumn! A little riskayyyy chapter but why not! The song is Give Me Everything by Pitbull!

(Evans POV)

Tyler hands me a whiskey glass as he looks out to the huge back yard of the mansion. I look down at the glass and see a blue liquid inside.

"Don't ask me what it is, I got it from.... yeah over there," Tyler says as he points in a random direction. And like that, I'm not drinking it. Really don't feel like getting drugged tonight, maybe some other time.

"Thanks but no thanks. I want to be sober for the first part of tonight." I say as I look around the lawn some more, she should be here already. Both Hope and Autumn should be here.

"I'm going to call Del to see if he can call Autumn or Zach or someone to see where the hell they are." I go to pull out my phone but Tyler grabs my shoulder as he points towards the gate leading to the front lawn.

I look up and see Hope walk in with an off the shoulder maroon dress that stops at her mid-thigh. She looks absolutely gorgeous, she looks so much better already than two months ago. Brian walks at her side as she looks around the place in amazement. Behind them is an annoyed Autumn with an amused Jon without his mask on surprisingly. Wonder what he did to her this time. Hope looks in my direction and locks eyes with me. A huge smile comes to her face as she pulls Brian toward me before letting go of him and running as fast as her heels would let her. She practically jumps in my arms as I hug her tightly.

"OH! I THINK I MIGHT CRY! BUT I CAN'T OR I'LL LOOK HORRIBLE!" Hope yells as she starts to laugh. I set her down and get a better look at her, she honestly looks healthier... happier even.

"So this was your big plan? A party at the playboy mansion? I mean... me I loved the hockey game and watching you play. Not to mention shopping for this thing, but personally I'm not a fan of THIS one place because-" I put my index finger to her lips and shush her.

"Everything else was my doing, except this. THIS, is actually Del's doing. He paid for the place to be used and they said they would handle everything else like guest, entertainment, drinks, everything for a party." I look around at the place and see the smiling unfamiliar guests having fun.

"What do you mean you're not a fan?! We're at the playboy mansion for god sakes! What more can you ask for a party?!" Brian exclaims. Hope looks over at him and giggles.

"Oh yes, I can smell the Chlyamedia already Brian, how can I forget." She rolls her eyes before scanning the area. Her eyes stop towards the stage of playboy bunny dancers and I watch a confused look go to her face. She walks away and heads to the direction where she was looking.

"Alright hold on there where are you going? We just got here, do you wanna look around inside or talk with the rest of the guys?" I ask as I follow her.

I hear Tyler groan behind me as Brian walks by my side. She makes her way past and even through groups of people.

"Damn she is on a mission let me tell you." Brian says as he goes around the people.

She stops and taps the shoulder or a guy around my height with a red undercut hairstyle. He turns around and I see he has scars over his left eye that goes down his cheek. His glasses partly cover the scars though as well as make his green eyes bigger. Brian runs over to Hope's side and looks at the guy in shock.

"Holy shit... it's uh... it's really you... well it's been a while... hasn't it Seth?" Hope says. He looks between Brian and Hope.

"Yes, it's been a bit hadn't it? Woah, Brian what happened to uh..." Seth says in a heavy Australian accent as he rubs part of his face. I go to Hopes side and look at him, where the hell do I know him from?
