Four brows raised as Rowen approached the staircase with Aubree in his arms. She was babbling about how she didn't like to mix up the drinks. Their faces were flushed due to the alcohol in their system. 

Xahria, Angel, Kenric and Kai followed him. Once they reached the girl's room, Rowen waited for Xahria to open the door. Xahria held the door open for Rowen as he walked to the bed that Aubree was sharing with Xahria. On the other side― Ezarah looked at them in surprise. She placed her book aside and watched everyone.

Kai waited outside the door. Aubree's voice became muffled as soon as her head hit the pillow. Rowen removed her slippers and covered her body with the comforter. He looked at Aubree for a second before walking out. 

"Where were you guys? Ryder went ballistic for a moment when he didn't find Aubree at the bonfire," Xahria said. "Why would he go ballistic? She wasn't drunk."

"A party was happening― Some boys crashed into our bonfire. They kinda spilled Ryder's drink. Nikolai and Kreo rushed them out, but Ryder got tensed when he couldn't find Aubree. He believed Aubree left for the party," Angel explained. 

"Thankfully, Xahria mentioned that she went to Jolly's with you." Rowen's brows frowned in confusion. "Why would he go ballistic?"

"They were high on drugs, and everyone else in the party was taking drugs," Angel replied. "Oh." Rowen looked at them. "How did you two end up drinking? Where did you guys go?" Xahria asked. Ezarah stepped out of the room and closed the door behind. 

"We met hippie girls on our way back. One of them asked if we wanted to join for a drink, and we agreed. We got carried away; they were fun, and the drinks were good." 

"Where are others?" Rowen asked. "Ryder and Nikolai went to bed. Xaiden, Kenric, Elwen and Kreo went for a car ride." 

"Why didn't you girls go?" 

"Not interested, as Aubree was out."  

"What are we going to do now?" Rowen asked. "We plan on hitting the bed. You call the boys if you want to join them." Rowen shook his head and looked at Kai. "Want to have a beer in the basement?"

"Sure." 

"Good night, boys. See you two in the morning," Xahria said. Angel said the same and followed Xahria.

Aubree put on her shades, which her Dad brought from Paris and the cap that Xaiden had gifted her last summer. She's wearing a simple red floral dress and flats. Angel watched her from bed. "Babe, when are you going to return?" 

"I will return in an hour. . . Rhys is here, and I will spill some tea, so he comes prepared." Aubree winked while Angel laughed. "What am I going to do?" 

"You can go out with Ezarah and Kreo. I heard they are going to that waterfall." 

"They are going?"

"Yes." 

"Cool, I will just join them." Once Aubree was ready— She picked up her bag and made her towards the living room. She could listen the music coming from the living room. Kai and Ryder were talking in the background.
