halloween party 2.1 ( @foreverwednesday )

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie loved Halloween - she always had done. So a Halloween party seemed to be a no brainer and when her parents said they were going out of town for the night, she was over the moon. She knew that she couldn't get away with not inviting the people from the musical but she wasn't sure who would actually show up. Johnny and her were still on the outs and it wasn't like the rest of them were all that fond of her. "We should go downstairs." Hettie laughed as she looked over her shoulder to Johnny. There were already a few people downstairs and they were letting the others in. She had just needed to finish her makeup.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton sighed as he stepping into the house and he couldn't see Scott. He got on with the others, just not as well and he felt a little weird around Audrey now that she was officially with Caleb. He didn't understand it. None of that made sense to him but he knew better than to say something about it to her. He slightly though, as he spotted Betsy. "At least someone could be on time." He chuckled.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River laughed as she looked over to Audrey and Robyn. She had really enjoyed getting ready with the two girls. She wouldn't usually do something like this so it was nice. She wasn't used to spending time with other girls but it was fun. "Should we be getting going?" She asked with a laugh. The party had officially started five minutes ago. She was used to being late and the boys were waiting for them downstairs.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb smiled as he looked at Johnny, "Can you believe our bloody luck with those two?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He hadn't believed his luck when Audrey said that she wanted him. And he couldn't wait to see how things went with them. They were already having a good time together. "But fucking hell - I think we're never gonna be on time anywhere ever again."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Alyssa squeezed Seths hand as she stepped into the house. "I always forget how insane this place is." She muttered with a shake of her head. She had never expected to ever set foot in a place somewhere this incredible. She was so happy to be there with Seth. She thought that they always had a lot of fun together - even if it wasn't what everyone else thought about the two of them.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Isaac was really nervous about stepping into the party on his own so he had texted Lucy to ask if she would meet him outside. He knew that, that probably sounded really stupid but he was glad that she had said yes. He smiled as he saw her. "You look great, luce. I like your costume." He nodded slightly. He felt really comfortable around her and she almost made him feel a little more confident.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn laughed as she listened to the others and nodded her head. She stood up and glanced to Audrey, "Come on." She laughed before she moved down the stairs. "Okay - can we have a shot before we go please?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "And a photo too! We look too cute to not have a photo." She smiled. She really liked Johnny - as a person. But she didn't know if there was much more than that. Which she knew probably wasn't really fair .

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie loved being the host of a party. She always enjoyed being in charge. Hettie smiled as she looked over at him, "I still wish you'd have let me do all of that makeup on you too." She muttered but shrugged her shoulders. She wasn't going to let that ruin her evening. She held out her hand to him. Though Hettie usually wouldn't think about anyone else, she knew that she needed to make sure that Amber was okay tonight too. She was pretty sure her friend had feelings for Caleb. "You look really nice in that suit." She smiled at him.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton nodded his head with a laugh as he listened to her. "To say the least, yeah." He chuckled. He had never understood other peoples need to be late. It was the only thing that he didn't miss about Audrey. He missed everything else though. He thought that things were starting to get on a good page again - and then she was with Caleb. He looked at his friend. "You look amazing, though, Bets." He muttered. He'd be blind to think otherwise.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River laughed as she listened to Audrey and nodded her head slightly, "I know that but we've gotta get there, right?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. She nodded as she looked over at Robyn. She wouldn't have ever put herself with these two - and she probably would have preferred to be with Johnny and Caleb - but she was having fun regardless.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn smiled as Audrey spoke. "Oh, perfect." She laughed. "Hey, Johnny!" Robyn called. "Get us some shots sorted please." She hoped that they wouldnt' be long before they were downstairs. Robyn hadn't seen Betsy since she had gotten with Johnny and she hoped that the other was there tonight. She really, really wanted to see her, though she still refused to admit it was anything more than friendship. It couldn't be. She was dating a boy. She was interested in a boy.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb smiled as he looked at his friend. He felt so happy that things were good with him and Audrey. For a while there, he had really thought that nothing was going to happen and he was so glad that, that wasn't the case. He liked that she wanted to be with him too. "It's kind of part of her charm though, don't you think?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He was glad that Johnny had agreed to go to the party. He thought that they would all have a lot of fun.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "That's exactly it." Alyssa laughed. Her family weren't poor by any means but this was absolutely insane. She didn't think that anyone should have the kind of wealth that Hettie and Scotts families had. "Yes, a drink would be perfect." She smiled with a nod of her head. She had brought a bottle of wine with her which would probably do her the majority of the night.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Isaac always felt instantly more comfortable when he was around Lucy and he liked that. It had been difficult for him before to make any kind of connection with someone. He sometimes wondered if Lucy thought of him as more than a friend but he wasn't sure if she would. "Yeah, it's a video game." Isaac muttered with a nod of his head. He felt a little embarrassed for admitting that but he was pretty sure that Lucy wouldn't judge him for that.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I don't wear makeup, I told you that." Scott chuckled. Wearing an actual costume was enough for him - usually, he'd do what the rest of the football team did and throw on some kind of dark shirt and call that enough, but he knew that wasn't going to fly at Hettie's own party. He smiled and took her hand, leaning down to kiss her quickly. "Runs in my blood, right?" He laughed. He wasn't exactly a stranger to wearing things like this.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Honestly, I'm surprised they're coming - they're like the bloody Brady Bunch or something, now. I would've thought they'd want to celebrate on their own." Betsy laughed, rolling her eyes - she was only playing around, but she did think the five of them had almost formed a little group that felt kind of separate. "Oh - thanks." She laughed as he complimented her. "So do you. Pros of time management, I guess." She grinned.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I suppose so. We can go whenever you want." Audrey laughed, nodding her head. She wasn't really used to being around people who really cared about what time they got there, but she was pretty much ready, so she wouldn't hold them up if they all wanted to go now. She knew Caleb wasn't too bothered and she liked that - everything was so easy with him, it was like a breath of fresh air. She was trying to ignore the fact that with her, easy wasn't something she'd ever really looked for before in a boyfriend.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "On it!" Johnny called up the stairs with a laugh, getting up and setting out some shot glasses. "It's part of something alright. Is there anything you don't think is part of her charm?" He chuckled, obviously teasing. He poured some tequila into the glasses, waiting until the girls got downstairs to have his. He didn't think he'd feel as happy about going to Hettie's party if he didn't have Robyn - she made him care less about all of that.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Like Alyssa, Seth wasn't really impressed by this kind of wealth - almost the opposite. He thought it was crazy that some people could be this wealthy, whilst others lived on the streets. He didn't like it at all. "Where's your wine?" He asked with a smile, grabbing two of the plastic cups on the side. He'd only brought cider tonight, he didn't want to get too drunk. "How long has it actually been since we've all been together?" He asked, shaking his head. He didn't think they'd actually had a gathering like this since Rock of Ages had ended.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Lucy smiled as Isaac confirmed it was a video game character. "That's really cool, you're going to be the only one dressed like him. I bet there'll be at least three other Mia Wallace's." She laughed, raising an eyebrow. She wasn't the biggest fan of dressing up, but she knew that all of this lot would've made the effort, so she wanted to as well.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie rolled her eyes but didn't see the point in commenting further. It wouldn't do either of them any good. She was pretty sure that she was pushing her luck with him being in an actual costume anyway. Hettie smiled as he pulled away from the kiss and the blonde nodded her head, "It does. But you look better than any of the rest of your family so.." She shrugged her shoulders before she started out of the room.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "They're not here yet are they? They might not turn up yet." Ashton almost hoped that they wouldn't. He only got annoyed when he was around Caleb and he knew that Scott didn't like being anywhere near Johnny. It was probably better that they didn't get there. Ashton chuckled as he nodded his head slightly, "Yeah, that must be it." He laughed.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River shrugged her shoulders as she listened to Audrey, "It doesn't really matter, does it?" She asked her. She usually wouldn't care but she still wasn't really feeling like herself again. And she was really nervous about seeing Scott. She hadn't really been around him since the holiday and she wanted that to stay the same. She felt like an idiot still. And she knew that hettie would happily have her guts.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn smiled as she heard him call back. She thought that she was pretty lucky to have someone like Johnny. How could she not like him? He was everything that she could hope for. She'd be stupid to not think so. "Come on. The shots are waiting." Robyn laughed as she looked between the two girls. She was excited to see what was going to come from tonight.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb shrugged his shoulders slightly as Johnny spoke, "maybe not. But that stays between us." He laughed as he nudged Johnny. He didn't make any secret about how much he liked Audrey. He thought it was pretty obvious. She was the most gorgeous girl he had ever seen and she was so funny, so chill. He thought that she was pretty much perfect. "How're you feeling about tonight?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: This kind of wealth just seemed crazy to Alyssa. She didn't understand how people could sleep soundly when they knew that they could help people with the kind of money that they had. "Oh yeah." She laughed with a nod of her head as she pulled out the bottle of wine she had. She hoped that Seth would end up going home with her that night. Her mum was out so they had the house to themselves. "When we went on holiday? I think." Alyssa shrugged her shoulders. She had pretty much spoke to Lucy every day but that was about it.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Isaac chuckled as he nodded his head slightly, "Yeah, I guess you have a point with that one." He smiled. He liked that she was able to make him feel so comfortable like this. He thought that, that was one of the things he really liked about Lucy. "But you're gonna look the best - so it doesn't matter about the rest of them." He chuckled as he shrugged his shoulders. "Should we go in?"

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott didn't think anybody was ever going to get him like Hettie did - she was the person he trusted the most and that was why he knew them being together was right. "I'm glad to hear you say that, I'd be pretty pissed off if you thought my dad looked better." He teased, rolling his eyes. He followed Hettie out of the room and down the stairs, smirking slightly as he took in the party. She'd gone an excellent job, like he'd known she would.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Maybe you're right. I guess we'll find out." Betsy laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She knew she was mostly just saying this because she didn't want to see Robyn and Johnny - despite it not being the same for the other girl, Betsy had really liked her and now she just felt like she'd been an experiment. It hurt. "What are you thinking about the new show, are you gonna audition?" She hoped he did, she always like spending time with Ashton.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "No, like I said - we can go whenever." Audrey smiled, raising an eyebrow. She wasn't really sure why River was questioning her on it when she'd pretty much said she was easy, but she was happy to get going. She grinned as Robyn spoke, heading downstairs. "Look at this star treatment." She laughed as she saw the shots lined up, smiling up at Caleb.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Stays between us." Johnny agreed with a laugh, nodding his head. He was happy that his friend and Audrey were finally getting their chance and he really hoped it worked out for them. "I'm alright, you know? There are other places to go if it all goes to crap." He shrugged his shoulders. He smiled as soon as he saw Robyn. "Hey, look at you - I always thought the tin man had a thing for Glinda." He grinned.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Seth smiled and handed Alyssa a cup, before he started to pour his own. He liked that everything between them was so natural now - he had been so nervous all the time at first, but now they were so in sync and it was exactly what he'd always wanted. "Yeah, I thought so... That feels like it was a long time ago, but I guess it wasn't too far." He raised an eyebrow. He wondered how everybody was going to be with each other.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Lucy still liked Isaac, she wasn't the kind of person to get over something like that easily - but they hadn't really spoken about being anything more than friends since Greece and she knew that anything like that made him uncomfortable, so she hadn't brought it up either. She was happy just to be around him. "Oh, the highest of compliments. Thank you." She chuckled, nodding her head. "Yeah, we should - let's see all of these inferior Mia's." She laughed.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie knew that Scott understood her better than anyone else would ever. She thought that, that was probably why they would be together. But she was glad that things had been so much easier between them now. "I mean your dad is a silver fox but.." She shrugged her shoulders with a laugh. She had really enjoyed sorting out all of the decorations. And she thought that it all looked great.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "We certainly will." Ashton nodded his head. He really wasn't used to not being the girls first choice and while he wouldn't show it - it had definitely knocked his confidence that Audrey had decided to go with Caleb instead of him. He didn't really want to see her, though. He smiled as she mentioned the new musical and nodded his head, "Yeah, I probably will. Are you?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River nodded her head and quietly followed after the two girls. Though she had enjoyed getting ready with the others - as soon as she got downstairs, she felt like a fifth wheel. River almost wished that she had just stayed at home. She knew that Johnny was just trying to help her out of the slump she had been in and she was trying to make sure that no-one else really, realised... but she was definitely struggling. This had been the first time she had even seen him since Rock of Ages.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn laughed as she heard Johnny and shrugged her shoulders, "Well, that's good. Because I think if the Tin Man looked like that - she'd definitely have a thing for him too." She smiled at him as she reached up to kiss him quickly. She turned to the tequila then though, "Gather round, friends." She called to the others with a smile. She was looking forward to spending time with this group.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "You're the best." Caleb chuckled with a nod of his head. He hoped that things would be good with him and Audrey. If definitely felt like it was. They had a lot of fun together, what else mattered? "Alright, yeah, good. There's a big halloween event going on at one of the clubs - we can go there if you don't feel comfortable here. Just say the word." He nodded. He just wanted to make sure that he was okay. He smiled as Audrey came down the stairs. "Whoever thought that Dorothy could ever look so good?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Alyssa didn't think that she had to think about anything between she and Seth and she liked that. They had, had a bit of a bumpy road in the beginning but it seemed like things were much smoother now and she thought that, that was really nice. "Oh it feels like such a long time ago." The brunette nodded. She didn't know how good things were going to be with the little group now though.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Isaac never knew how to go about situations like this. He was so sure that Lucy didn't like him back and that she had only kissed him back because she felt sorry for him - but he wished that she would bring it all up. He really wanted to know whatever was going on between the two of them. "You're very welcome." He smiled with a nod of his head. He started towards the house, "Are Seth and Alyssa here?'

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott grimaced slightly as Hettie spoke about his dad, but he laughed. "Don't even start." He rolled his eyes. He'd been in a lot of trouble when he'd gotten back from Greece, especially after River had stood up for him and he and his dad still weren't really on good terms. His mum didn't seem to care enough to treat him any differently, but his dad had upped the dislike heavily. "Who do you want to see first?" He raised an eyebrow as they walked down the stairs.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "How do you feel about all of that, anyway?" Betsy raised an eyebrow. She thought she and Ashton were in pretty similar situations, but she obviously couldn't tell him that without outing Robyn and she would never do that. She wished she could, though. She thought it would probably be nice to talk about it. "Yeah, I will be - it's a dance musical, isn't it? Made for me." She laughed.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Oh yeah? Maybe I could make a look out of this Tin Man thing, if I look that good. An OnlyFans for scrap metal." Johnny laughed, kissing his girlfriend back happily. He appreciated Caleb saying they could go wherever, but he didn't want to talk about it in front of everybody - he didn't think it would even come to that, anyway. He smiled and grabbed a shot of tequila, handing another one to River. He was worried about her and he wanted to make sure she was okay tonight.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Audrey smiled widely as she heard Caleb, shrugging her shoulders. "Oh, you'd be surprised - lots of people, actually. It was genuinely hard to find a costume that wasn't made for a strip club." She laughed, shaking her head as she reached him, wrapping her arms around his waist. "I love this costume, feels like I'm hugging a giant teddy bear. Which is weird, because I'm also still attracted to you." She laughed.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Yeah, it does. It probably isn't as weird for us because we see each other all the time, but I feel like it's probably going to be weird for a lot of the others." Seth raised an eyebrow. With the new show coming up, he kind of hoped they would all get to start hanging out together again - he had loved it in Spelling Bee, when they'd all hung out all the time. "Did you hear that Johnny and Robyn are together now?" He had been really shocked by that news.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Lucy had no idea that Isaac was still thinking about everything that had happened between them like she was, she thought he probably wouldn't care anymore. She had spoken a bit about it with Alyssa, but after they'd argued in Greece she didn't want to go too into it. "I think so, Alyssa told me they were setting off quite a while ago." She paused as she looked around. "I see them. Do you want to head over?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie laughed as she listened to him. She knew that things were still bad at home and that was why she had him there as often as possible. Hettie knew that she would never have been able to do what River did. She didn't have the balls to stand up to Scotts dad - not when she knew that it would get back to her own parents. And she resented River a lot for that. "Do you see Amber anywhere?" She asked him.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton shrugged his shoulders at Betsys question. "Fucking weird but they can do what they want, can't they?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He wasn't going to show that he cared too much. Ashton would never do that. He knew that, that was probably part of the reason why things with Audrey had ended but he didn't really care. He just wanted to be done with it all now he thought. "Ah, of course. What you gonna go for though? That's the question." He smiled as he nudged her. He thought that Betsy was so talented.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Oh yeah, I'd absolutely be a fan of that." Robyn laughed with a nod of her head. She wished that she could be as into this as she knew that she probably should have been. She thought that Johnny was probably the perfect boyfriend and yet she was so sure that there was something missing between the two of them. She smiled as she grabbed her shot and quickly knocked it back.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River nodded her head slightly as Johnny handed her the shot, "Thanks." She gave him a quick smile before she quickly did the shot. She wanted to get tonight over with if she was completely honest. She hadn't seen Scott since the airport and it was absolutely setting her on edge - something she already felt on edge about before even thinking about having to see him.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb laughed as he listened to her, "Well, you know - I wouldn't have complained about that." He shrugged his shoulders. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. He felt so content with her. Caleb thought that this kind of relationship was how it was supposed to be. It was so easy and it was exactly what he would have liked from a relationship. "Do we have a secret fury over here?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Oh yeah - it absolutely will be." Alyssa nodded her head. She, Lucy, Seth and Isaac still hung out quite often but she didn't think it would be the same for the rest of them. She thought that it was going to be interesting to watch people interact tonight. She nodded her head, "Oh god, yeah. I did not see that one coming, did you?" She asked as she looked up at him. She had thought that she had seen something between Robyn and Betsy but apparently she was mistaken.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Isaac really just wasn't sure what to do with himself around all of that with Lucy. He didn't want to make things awkward. He thought that if she wanted more from the kiss, she would have said so, she would have done something about it. "Ah okay." He nodded his head, a small smile. He hoped that she didn't think that this was awkward. "Yeah, sounds good."

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott wasn't finding things easy at the moment and he truly felt like he had nowhere to get away from it; he loved Hettie and she made it all feel better, but he knew her parents were in constant contact with his, so it still didn't feel much different being there. "Yeah, she's over there by the drinks, looking like she's feeling sorry for herself." He raised an eyebrow. He honestly didn't get why Amber was so upset - he thought she could do a lot better, so it all seemed pretty stupid to him.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy nodded her head. "Yeah, I guess they can." She loved Caleb and she was happy for them, but if she was honest she didn't think it would last - and she just didn't want him to end up getting hurt. "I'll be fine with whatever, really - I just don't want to play an old person." She laughed, raising an eyebrow. This was one of the only times she really, really wanted the lead - but she didn't like to show her cards, in case it didn't work out for her. "What about you?" She smiled. She was sure Ashton would get whatever he wanted.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Johnny really wanted he and Robyn to work out, to be something good - but he sometimes felt as though they were two friends hanging out rather than a couple, even though he thought she was absolutely gorgeous. He just wasn't sure why that was, because he definitely liked her. "I thought as much. I'd give you discounted rates." He chuckled, nodding his head. "Okay, we should get going - we're already late." He laughed.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I know you wouldn't, but I'd probably have ended up freezing to death and then you'd have some complaints. Hopefully, anyway." Audrey teased, laughing softly. She had never liked going to parties early and ten minutes late still felt pretty early to her, but she knew the rest of them wanted to go. If she was honest, she was kind of nervous about it - it was the first time they'd been around everybody as a couple. "Oh, you've caught me. I've been waiting for this costume to come out all year." She laughed, rolling her eyes jokingly.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Seth was really glad that they'd made their little group of friends through Spelling Bee, but he'd also liked it when they all hung out together, when they'd been a big group of friends - he hoped they could get back to that. "Not at all. I was really surprised, honestly. They're not who I would've put each other with." He wasn't sure who he would've put them with, but it wouldn't be each other.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Lucy didn't ever feel that awkward around Isaac, really - she thought they understood each other well enough to not need to speak all the time, to know they both enjoyed silence. She smiled and nodded her head, walking over to the other two. "Hi guys, you look very sweet." She laughed, taking in their matching costumes.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie had no idea how she could make things easier for Scott. But he wouldn't talk to her about anything that was going on so she didn't know how much she could actually do. She sighed as she looked over at Amber. "I'm gonna go check on her." Hettie smiled as she nodded her head. She gave Scott a quick kiss before she moved over to her friend. She never wanted her to feel like she couldn't talk to her. Hettie wasn't the best friend in the world, she knew that, but she would always be there for a friend that needed her.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton really didn't want to have to think about any of that. He almost wished that Hettie hadn't invited them tonight. He was surprised that she had. It wasn't like they got on. He didn't even think that she had spoke to Johnny since they had stopped talking. He thought it was weird. "Well - you'd make a fucking fantastic Ariel." He smiled at her. He thought that Footloose might be her time to shine. He hoped so."Ren." Ashton spoke, shrugging his shoulders. He knew that he couldn't do Willard, he wasn't funny. And he didn't really want to play Chuck. He'd be fine with Shaw but it wasn't his choice.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn thought something similar to Johnny. She really wanted them to be something good - but she just didn't think there was that spark there. They got on really well and she thought that he was a good looking man but she couldn't help but feel like there was something missing, like they were just friends. "Oh yeah? Is that a girlfriend privilege, huh?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. Robyn nodded as she took a hold of his hand. "Come on then."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "I would definitely have complaints then but you could get in here with me. There's plenty of room for you." Caleb laughed as he shrugged his shoulders. He was quire the opposite of Audrey. He was really excited to spend time with everything now that he was with Audrey. "That's why you were so keen on this group costume thing then, huh?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River nodded slightly as Johnny said that they should get going. She didn't know why she was even doing this. She didn't know why there was any point in her going to this party. Her friends were going to be caught up in their relationships and she hadn't spoke to Scott since she had a go at his dad. She didn't know why she was going but she knew that she couldn't back out now.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Alyssa didn't think that it would be easy for them to get back to the friendships that they all had at the start of Spelling Bee. She thought that it was going to be really hard for anyone to get back to friendship after all of that. But she knew that Seth still hoped and she wouldn't dampen that. "No, absolutely not. Me neither." Alyssa laughed as she shook her head. She thought that, that probably made sense though - for how young they all were still. "Hi!" She smiled as she looked at Lucy, "I love your costume."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Isaac definitely felt like there was a good silence between him and lucy - he just wished he knew what she was thinking about. He thought that she was a brilliant, amazing person and he thought that she was one of the prettiest, kindest people. He was so sure that she wouldn't be interested in him. "Hey." Isaac smiled as they got to their friends. "How're you doing?"

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott had never been the type of person who felt comfortable talking about his thoughts and feelings - he thought that was why he'd been so emotional when he'd finally let down his guard to River in Greece. He was still absolutely mortified about how he'd been that night and it was probably one of the reasons he'd avoided her a little bit since. "Okay, tell her I said she needs to get over it." He grinned teasingly, knowing Hettie would know he was joking. He kissed her back with a little smile, moving to go and grab himself a drink.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy thought part of Hettie might know what she was doing; there was bound to be drama, there was bound to be some kind of kick off with all of these people in the same room - and she thought the girl would probably like that. She smiled as Ashton said she would make a good Ariel. "Yeah? Fingers crossed, then. I dunno, seems like the part everybody will be going for." She shrugged. She didn't think she'd get it over Hettie or Audrey, even though she knew she was the stronger dancer. "That makes sense. You'd smash it. I don't think you've got much competition with this lot." He laughed.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: If Johnny knew the real reason he and Robyn weren't clicking, it would make so much sense to him - but right now, it just felt like something he couldn't quite put his finger on, something just out of his reach. "Oh yeah, it's one of the many pros." He chuckled, nodding his head. For now, he was happy and he thought that was what mattered. He smiled and squeezed her hand gently, leading the way to the door. "Coming, Riv?" He smiled, holding out his other arm to her.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Holy shit, do the good parts of this costume never end? I'm definitely going to end up in there before the night is out, I want to freak people out by popping my head out when they didn't realise I was in there." Audrey laughed, nodding her head enthusiastically. She was hiding how she felt about going to the party pretty well, she thought - but she was definitely ready for a drink now. To take the edge off. "You've got me, I've been rumbled here." She laughed, shaking her head. "Oh, looks like we're going." She smiled, raising an eyebrow as she saw the others heading towards the door. She took Caleb's hand and followed. She just hoped it was going to be okay, that nothing would be awkward.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Seth knew he was probably being a little bit naive by hoping they would ever get the same dynamic back as they'd had at the beginning of Spelling Bee, before any of the relationships or the fall outs - he thought the way everything had been at camping had been pretty perfect, but he knew it was wishful thinking to think they might be able to go back to that now. He'd like everybody getting along and he'd liked feeling like he had a big group of friends. "Hey!" He smiled as he saw Isaac and Lucy. "Good! Well, good enough, to say I'm wearing tights." He laughed as he looked down at his costume, shaking his head. "How are you?"

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Lucy was good with slow, she was good with casual - but she didn't think she could handle getting to a complete standstill and that was where she felt like she and Isaac had landed. She was sure of herself, but not sure enough to keep on pressing when somebody didn't seem to be on the same page as her - but she hoped they might be able to get back to that. She still liked him, she still saw everything in him that she'd seen before. "Thank you! I love yours, I used to love Peter Pan." She smiled.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Of course Hettie knew what she was doing when she was inviting everyone. She thought that drama was how you kept things interesting and they weren't going to get that unless they invited absolutely everyone. She found it a lot of fun anyway, so she thought that, that was all that mattered. Hettie rolled her eyes, though there was a little smile on her face, as she heard Scott. She quickly moved over to Amber then. "Hey doom and gloom." Hettie muttered as she reached her friend, "If you're looking like that, you haven't had enough to drink. Tequila?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton was under no illusion that there would be no drama tonight - he just really didn't want to be a part of all of that. He couldn't be bothered, if he was completely honest. He was just happy drinking with his friends - that was all he really wanted. He shrugged his shoulders, "Nah - it'll just be Hettie and you're a better dancer than her so.." He smiled at her. He was pretty sure he knew Audrey well enough to know she'd want Rusty. "Guess we'll see. There's always Seth." Though Ashton thought he was a better performer than Seth, he definitely thought that the other had a better voice.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn really didn't think that she was leading Johnny on. She wanted to like him so surely that showed her that she wasn't interested in girls? Surely whatever she felt for Betsy was just a blip? Logically, she knew that, that wasn't how it worked but that was what she was telling herself, anyway. "Many pros? Right. You'll have to tell me what they are later." She laughed with a nod of her head. Robyn smiled as she looked at River. She wasn't sure what was wrong with the other but she hoped that they could at least cheer her up before the night was out.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River nodded her head as Johnny spoke to her and she linked her arm through his. She had always been a quiet person. Most people didn't listen to her when she was speaking anyway so she never saw the point. She knew that her friend would do whatever he could to make things better and she knew that he would listen to her - she just didn't want to talk about it. She wanted to be on her own .

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "You definitely picked the wrong character of this lot. You should be so jealous of me." Caleb laughed as he looked down at Audrey. He thought that this was how a relationship was supposed to be and he hoped that she thought the same. He knew it wouldn't take long to get to the party and he was pretty excited now. He thought that it was going to be a lot of fun. Caleb nodded and squeezed Audreys hand gently before he followed after her.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Isaac laughed as he listened to Seth and nodded his head, "You not a fan, then?' He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. This was the most out there that Isaac had ever done for Halloween so he definitely didn't know how Seth felt about wearing that costume. "I'm good too though." He nodded. He was definitely a little anxious about being there but he didn't see the point in mentioning that.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Alyssa wasn't really sure what was going on with Lucy and Isaac but since their argument - she hadn't really wanted to ask. Things had been different between the two of them since then and she really hoped that it wouldn't be like that for forever. Alyssa really liked lucy and she thought that they got along well so they should be able to work through. "Oh my too. It's definitely the most underrated Disney film!"

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber looked up as she heard Hettie, laughing softly. She really didn't mean to be gloomy, she just felt pretty down recently - and she didn't know what to do about it. "That sounds like it's guaranteed to cheer anybody up." She giggled, nodding her head. She knew that if anybody could cheer her up it was Hettie, so she was happy to be spending a bit of time with her friend. Amber wasn't really used to feeling like this, usually the crushes she had (and she got them often) would go away within days, a week at most. But this one hadn't and it was making her sad.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy felt similar to Ashton, in that she knew there was going to be drama and she wanted no part in it. She didn't care anymore, if she was honest - she knew who she cared about and who cared about her and although she was upset about Robyn, she would deal with it. "I guess we'll see, then. Still tough competition." She shrugged. She knew she was good, but she also knew Hettie was good. She laughed as he spoke about Seth. "Please. He's got a beautiful voice, but it looks like he's gonna burst into tears everytime he gets on a stage." She laughed, shaking her head. "You beat him in Rock of Ages, anyway."

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I can't believe you're acting like you don't already know them, that's so upsetting." Johnny pretended to pout, but broke off into laughter as they started to walk. He smiled as River took his arm. He wanted to make sure he got some time alone with her tonight, to chat to her about what was going on - he was worried and he wanted to know if he could fix anything for her. "Alright, it's this way to the tube." They had all had pre-drinks at his flat, so he was leading the way to the station.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I am so jealous of you, I can't believe I've made a mistake this stupid. How drunk will you need to be before I can get you to swap?" Audrey laughed, raising an eyebrow. She really liked Caleb, she knew she did - and she had such a good time with him, she was always laughing... But part of her didn't think it was supposed to be this easy, it felt similar to when they were just friends. She pushed those thoughts to the back of her head. She smiled as he squeezed her hand, following after Johnny.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but yeah - it's still not exactly comfortable." Seth chuckled. He was pretty sure he would've worn whatever Alyssa had wanted to, and he'd always enjoyed Peter Pan, even as a kid. "Good. It feels weird to be back around everyone, right?" He smiled, raising an eyebrow. He was pretty sure he and Isaac would feel the same way about it all and he liked that he could always rely on his friend to be on the same page as him.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Lucy definitely thought that Alyssa was one of the best friends she'd ever had and she mostly regretted the argument they'd had on holiday; she put it down to spending too much time with the same people and being so far away from home. If she was honest, she could really use a girls advice on what was going on with she and Isaac, but she wasn't going to admit that anytime soon. "Would you say it was your favourite, then?" She smiled.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie laughed softly as she listened to Amber. She was a little worried about Amber, if she was completely honest. Amber was usually the most positive person that Hettie knew - she didn't like that her friend was so down about all of this. She thought that she could do so much better than Caleb, anyway. "I think so too." She laughed with a nod of her head before she turned to pour herself and Amber two shots each. She figured you might as well start as you mean to go on.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "We will see. Not long now." Ashton nodded his head with a smile. He actually really enjoyed auditioning. It was an adrenaline rush and he would much rather do that, then almost anything else. He almost preferred it to actually performing. He laughed as he heard Betsy talk about Seth, "Well - then I've got it in the bag, haven't I?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn shrugged her shoulders, "I just need a refresher every now and again, don't I?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. She loved that Johnny was a friend for everyone. She thought that it was really sweet and really showed how he was with people. "I can't wait to get there." She laughed as she nodded her head. She loved a good party after all.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River glanced at Johnny, shooting him a quick smile, before her gaze fell back to the floor. She knew that she wasn't exactly trying all that hard to act 'normal' but it was all she had. Before she became friends with Johnny and Caleb, it was easy for her to sink into the background. To go to school and go home and no-one really cared. She had her group of friends but they weren't all that close - they didn't check in all the time. Not like Johnny and Caleb always did.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb shrugged his shoulders, "Probably a lot less than you think it would take, honestly." He would always do something for a laugh so he was pretty sure the two of them would end up swapping costumes before the end of the night. He was sure people would find that a lot of fun. Of course all of this was easy and that was what Caleb wanted - he had no idea that she was doubting that.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Well better than the worst is a bonus, right?" Isaac asked with a small smile. It never occurred to him to ask Seth for advice on everything with Lucy. He thought that if he asked, then he would have to admit that things were more than what they were. He didn't want to say something in case he had been a complete idiot with it all. "Yeah - I don't think I've seen half of these people in forever." He laughed as he shook his head.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Alyssa didn't think she had a better friend than Lucy. She really enjoyed being around her and she thought that Lucy understood her more than any of her other friends. She wished that they had never argued but she was sure that things would be okay regardless. "Oh yeah, definitely. why'd you think this was my choice of costume?"

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber didn't think it was necessarily the fact that she liked Caleb that was getting her down, she would get over that easily - it was the insecurity she felt from that person not liking her back. That was what she didn't know how to deal with. She laughed as Hettie poured them two shots each, knocking them back one after the other with a little cough. "Ew." She laughed, shaking her head. "This is a great party, H. You've done an amazing job." She smiled admiringly as she looked around the room.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "You think it'll go back to how it was at the beginning of Spelling Bee?" Betsy asked curiously. She thought it would be nice for them all to be a bit closer again, but she also worried if too much had happened for them to ever be the same way they once were. "I'd say so, yeah - don't get too cocky though, your head will explode." She laughed, rolling her eyes playfully.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Yeah alright, I suppose I can do that." Johnny pretended to be annoyed, rolling his eyes - but there was a smile on his face. He just thought Robyn was the loveliest person, someone he could be around for the longest time. "It won't be long, only a couple of stops and then we're basically right near the house. Have you been to Hettie's house before?" He asked with a little smile. He thought it was amazing, even if it was a bit too showy for him.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "That's what I like to hear." Audrey laughed. She loved how easygoing Caleb was; she thought they were pretty similar in that way, they didn't really care how they looked as long as they were having fun. She smiled as they reached the station, following Johnny to the right stop and climbing on after him. "Think this is the weirdest thing the commuters have seen tonight?" She whispered with a laugh.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Absolutely!" Seth smiled. He didn't mind wearing costumes, dressing up like this - it was pretty similar to performing and he loved that. "I know, that's how it feels for me as well. I haven't seen most of them since the show finished." He shook his head. Once Rock of Ages had finished, it felt like a lot of the group distanced themselves a bit - and he was glad there was another musical.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Lucy smiled. "That makes sense. And you look lovely." She nodded her head. "Have you seen many of the others yet?" She wasn't totally sure who had been invited tonight, but she thought it was nice of Hettie to have them all there - she didn't have to, not after she had already taken them all on holiday, so she thought it was a nice gesture.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie laughed as she saw the look on Ambers face. She loved shots so it barely even effected her as they did one straight after the other. She smiled as Amber complimented the party and she nodded her head as she looked around the room, "Thank you. I think we're in for a very fun night." She laughed as she nudged her friend. She hadn't really planned much tonight but she was looking forward to seeing what would happen. "It's the first time we've all been together since the holiday. It'll be very interesting." Hettie laughed.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton shook his head, "Not a chance." He laughed. He had really enjoyed the early days of Spelling Bee. The camping trip, the first few parties but now everything just seemed to be too complicated. He thought there would soon to be a new normal for them though. "And we wouldn't want that, would we? Then who would you talk to?" He asked her, raising an eyebrow with a laugh.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Then we're both winners!" Robyn smiled at him then. She really did love spending time with Johnny. she thought that if she could pick her perfect man, then it would probably be Johnny. It was the man part that seemed to be the sticking point though. "I don't think I have actually, no." She laughed as she shook her head. She was sure that it was going to be absolutely amazing, though.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: That was why Caleb thought that he and Audrey worked so well together. They were such similar people. He didn't think he would do well with someone who was all that different to him. He thought that he would probably annoy a lot of people. Caleb shook his head, "Absolutely not. They'll have had uni students through her tonight. They will be in weirder stuff."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Costumes brought too much attention to him. That was why Isaac wasn't exactly the biggest fan of Halloween. He didn't like the attention being on him. He thought that, that was why he hadn't said anything to Lucy. He was so scared of what would happen if he said something and she turned him down. "You'll get to see them all again soon, right?

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Thank you." Alyssa smiled as Lucy complimented her. She definitely appreciated that. She shook her head at her friends question, "No. I haven't seen any of them yet. Johnny and Caleb definitely aren't here yet. We'd have been able to hear them, wouldn't we?" She laughed as she shook her head. She loved them, though. They were always a lot of fun.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber was a pretty big lightweight, so two shots in a row was bound to get her well on her way to being drunk - and tonight, she was grateful for that. "I hope so! Are you wanting to play games?" She smiled as she looked at Hettie. She knew there were some of her friends favourite things. "I know, I was thinking this... I hope it's not going to be weird, having everybody here." If she was totally honest, she wasn't even sure what a lot of people had been up to since the holiday.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "How come?" Betsy raised an eyebrow. She had her own thoughts as to why, but she was curious to hear his too. She had liked the way things were at the beginning, but she also thought they would all be able to find their way back now if they accepted how things had changed. If they accepted that things were different now. "Oh yeah, I'd be lost. Not like I have any other friends." She laughed, rolling her eyes. She considered Ashton one of her best where this group was concerned, though.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: The similarities between Robyn and Hettie did occur to Johnny, especially physically - he knew it was probably clear that he had a type, but he thought they were very different personality wise. He would be lying if he said he didn't miss the time he and Hettie used to spend together, though - but he wasn't going to say that right now. "It's pretty cool." He smiled, holding out his hand to the blonde as they got off the tube and started walking towards the house. "That's it, right there." He nodded over to the huge building, shaking his head slightly with a little smile on his face.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Audrey had tried not to let herself think about any alternatives since she and Caleb had been together; he was a good person, he was so good to her. He made her feel safe and wanted and those were the things she told herself she wanted; she had never quite known whether Ashton wanted her or not and she just didn't think she could deal with that, not when she'd liked him so much. "You are so right. I would love to sit on here all night and see what kind of weirdos come through." She laughed, jumping down off the step as they got off the tube.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I suppose so. I mean, it's not like I was ever especially close to anybody - it just felt nice, being a group. Don't you think?" Seth shrugged his shoulders. He had never been loud or outgoing, things that most people in the group seemed to be - but he had felt like he fit in and he didn't often get that, so he felt sad that everybody seemed to be a little bit distant now. "Have you got a drink?" He asked, noticing his friends empty hands. He didn't know if he would want one or not, but he wanted to at least offer.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Lucy laughed, nodding her head. "Oh, you're absolutely right. How could I forget?" She chuckled. She didn't know how Johnny and Caleb had it in them to be so much, all the time - but it was one of their signature traits and she knew they'd be in full swing tonight. "Do you think it's weird, thinking about how different things are to when we all first met?" She raised an eyebrow.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie was absolutely making sure that Amber was drunk by the end of the night. She thought that the other at least deserved that much. They were absolutely going to get her mind off of everything that had happened. "Of course we are. What do you think we should do?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. she hadn't decided what yet but she thought that it always caused a bit of trouble. "It won't be weird. we don't have to talk to anyone that we don't want to talk to so.." She shrugged her shoulders.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Too much has changed, hasn't it? Even if things do get better - there's still gonna be baggage, isn't there?" Ashton didn't think that anyone was going to get through all of that. He certainly didn't think that he was about to, any time soon. "Exactly. You're so lucky I'm here." He shrugged his shoulders. He really liked spending time with Betsy. She wasn't like anyone else that he knew.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn thought that it was pretty natural for a person to have a type. And while she thought that Hettie was beyond gorgeous, and she definitely wasn't anywhere near that, but she could see the similarities between the two of them. She thought that it made sense. "Oh fucking hell.." She muttered as she looked up at the house. She had never seen something that impressive. "Jesus... My house could fit in there like five times over."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb nodded his head with a laugh, "Oh and there's definitely going to be a few of those, for sure. Especially the later we sit in here." He laughed as he looked around the carriage. They weren't the only ones dressed up in there. He loved Halloween. It brought out the best in people he thought. It was a lot of fun. "Come on." He muttered as he took her hand and followed Johnny to Hetties house.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Yeah, I guess so." Isaac shrugged his shoulders. He felt more comfortable now that it was just a small group of them - now it was just the four of them. But he thought that explained the differences between him and Seth perfectly. "Oh, no." He laughed as he shook his head. "I brought wasn't really bothered about anything to drink so I thought I'd just steal some of the mixers." He shrugged.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Alyssa laughed as she nodded her head, "Is that how long we've all not been together?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She thought that Caleb and Johnny were a lot of fun but she didn't think that she would ever be able to be like that. They were so much all of the time and it was just too much for her personally. "I think it's expected." She shrugged. "People change and evolve, right?"

AM EH AM SD BC GCH WAL MS AG: Elias laughed as Fleur wrinkled her nose, rolling his eyes teasingly. "I said you wouldn't like it." He shrugged his shoulders. He'd grown up around his dad - who had obviously always been a big drinker, so by the age of twenty he absolutely knew what he liked, what did the trick best. Whiskey was usually his drink of choice and he didn't really like to mix it with anything.

AM EH AM SD BC GCH WAL MS AG: "Ah, but you can't leave me to come back all on my own." Wyatt chuckled. Especially with everything that had happened between he and Maggie, he needed Jude to be by his side when he came home at the moment - he felt a lot more confident when he had a friend with him. "I'll just have whatever you're having. What do you want?" He smiled at Savannah.

AM EH AM SD BC GCH WAL MS AG: "I genuinely kept thinking I'd fallen asleep with my eyes open. It felt like hours were passing." Ava laughed, shaking her head. She was exaggerating now, but she was finding herself funny. "I really think you should. It's a curse on my life, being attracted to only men." She sighed, shaking her head as she lit her cigarette and took a long drag. "I would be really mad if I wasn't the number one girl in your life, though." She laughed.

AM EH AM SD BC GCH WAL MS AG: Gomez loved being a dad - it had happened way earlier than he'd ever thought and he knew he wanted it to be a long while before he had another child, but he loved Wren with everything he had. He smiled as Maggie said she was going with him, laughing slightly as he headed over to his friends. "What, is somebody on fire or something?" He chuckled, raising an eyebrow.

AM EH AM SD BC GCH WAL MS AG: Aaron knew that he and Bridie had been young when they were together and that she regretted what she'd done - but it didn't mean he would take it again. He hadn't even realised how against cheating he was before she'd done it to him, but he couldn't imagine ever doing it to anybody else. He listened carefully as she spoke, nodding his head. He thought what she was saying made sense - there were definite similarities there. "Is that what you think is happening?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. He thought Alba's dad was pretty intimidating, and Elias even more so.

AM EH AM SD BC GCH WAL MS AG: Minnie shook her head, a little smile on her face. "I have no idea. I feel like I'm being an annoying little sister if I ask about it, so I just haven't." She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. "I think there's more than them just being friends, though - I mean, this is the second time he's brought her home." She smiled. "You're earning definite Auntie points here, aren't you?" She giggled, wrapping an arm around Sylvie as the others arm went around there. She and Milo had already discussed Sylvie and Barney being the baby's godparents and she couldn't wait to tell them.

AM EH AM SD BC GCH WAL MS AG: "You used to love me more than her." Barney said, pretending to be sad and sticking out his bottom lip. He was only joking, though - he knew Milo well enough to know that his friends were a priority and it was the same for Barney. He knew Sylvie felt the same, which was one of the many reasons he loved her. "I don't know... And I don't really want to. You know?" He whispered back with a shrug of his shoulders. "Hey! We just wanted to see you." He laughed.

BS FM SK AH SM HD JH CK MS: "Yeah and I heard you. So why would I act like I like it?" Fleur asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. She had never been able to handle her drink very well. But she enjoyed the feeling of being drunk, of doing whatever she wanted. "You want to go and see people?" She asked. It wasn't like there were many people there that liked her very much so she figured she'd just stay with Elais.

BS FM SK AH SM HD JH CK MS: "Oh of course. You wouldn't be able to stand that, would you?" Jude asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He and Wyatt had always had a complicated relationship but they went through phases. Sometimes they never spoke - since going to uni, they would chat every single day. Wyatt was like his brother and it didn't matter what happened, he thought that would always be the same. He nodded as he listened to Wyatt, turning and ordered to whiskeys and the cocktail that Savannah asked for.

BS FM SK AH SM HD JH CK MS: "Fuck me - I can't believe we've only been here for half an hour." Bridie laughed. "I thought we were here for about a fucking year." She was pretty sure that she wasn't ever going to find anyone interesting. Elias was one of the funniest, most interesting people she had ever met. she didn't think that anyone was going to top that. "Aw, would you be jealous?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. She took a hold of her friends spare hand - after she lit her cigarette - "You're always gonna by my number one."

BS FM SK AH SM HD JH CK MS: Alba shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know if it is but I definitely think that it could." She loved her brother so much and the last thing she wanted was to see him struggling like their dad was. She didn't want to have to constantly worry about both of them. She rested her head against Aarons shoulder. "Do you want to go and talk to him and Fleur?" She asked him. She wasn't sure how he was with Fleur - all she knew was that the two had slept together.

BS FM SK AH SM HD JH CK MS: Maggie followed after Gomez. She was nervous about seeing Minnie for some reason. The girl was her best friend in the entire world but she thought that it was pretty clear that wasn't the case the other way around anymore. She was sure that Minnie preferred to spend time with Sylvie and she worried that, that was because of what she had done to Wyatt. "Hey - you both look great."

BS FM SK AH SM HD JH CK MS: Sylvie nodded her head, "Then I need to ask Savannah." She giggled. She didn't really know the other girl that well but she thought that she was fun and she was sure that she could see what the other girl would think eventually. "They definitely look more than friends." She nodded. She thought that they looked good together as well. "Mhm. I need to be the best Auntie!" Sylvie smiled. She was so excited to meet Minnie and Milos baby. "Hi Maggie." Sylvie smiled as she looked at the girl.

BS FM SK AH SM HD JH CK MS: "I still do. Just don't tell her that." Milo whispered to Barney, a small smile on his face. He beamed as he realised that Gomez was finally there. He wrapped his arms around his friend quickly. "You've been gone so long! I missed your face. That is why we called you over. Right Barn?" He asked, his arms still around Gomez as he looked to their other friend.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber pushed the shot glasses away from her and started to fill up her cup with pink gin and lemonade, taking an experimental sip to test the strength before she put in her straw. "There's loads of stuff we can play!" She laughed, pouting slightly while she thought. "We could play truth or dare, there's never have I ever, who's most likely to... Or there's stuff like Mr and Mrs?" She smiled, shrugging her shoulders.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Yeah, but there was baggage anyway. Maybe it'll all be better than it was before, we never know." Betsy laughed, shrugging her shoulders. Part of her thought that people had sorted out their shit now, so it could be calmer - but with these people, she didn't think that things would ever be properly sorted for good. "Yeah yeah, you've had your nightly ego boost from me. Don't think you'll be getting another one." She laughed, rolling her eyes. "Jesus, they're really late tonight." She checked the time on her phone with a raise of an eyebrow. Even though she knew she shouldn't, she was waiting for Robyn to get there.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Johnny laughed, nodding his head. "I know, mine too - I think I'd get scared living somewhere like this, though. Wouldn't you always wonder if somebody was on the other side of the house waiting for you?" He chuckled. He liked his house the way it was, he didn't think he'd ever like living somewhere so flashy - he didn't know how anybody would be able to find it homely. He pushed open the door and let Robyn go first, grinning as he stepped inside. "Happy Halloween!" He called loudly, letting out a laugh.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "The states we're gonna see on the way home, that's gonna be the fun part. - Actually, take that back. We'll be the states." Audrey laughed, raising an eyebrow. She thought Halloween was the most fun holiday and she was excited to celebrate tonight, she just hoped it all went well. She smiled as he took her hand, heading into the house almost nervously. She couldn't help but laugh as she heard Johnny though, looking around the party with a little smile.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Seth smiled as Isaac spoke, nodding his head. "That's more than fair - cheaper, and you won't wake up with a bad head like the rest of us." He chuckled. He had never gotten as drunk as he'd been on the night of Audrey's party again and he didn't ever plan on it. He thought that was probably the worst state his body could get in, without him being in any actual trouble. He turned with a laugh as he heard Johnny's voice. "They've arrived, then." He chuckled.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "It must be, I'm starting to forget about everybody." Lucy laughed, shaking her head. She knew that wasn't the case, though - she'd loved getting to direct them all in Spelling Bee and she'd offered her help as the assistant director in Footloose for that reason. She was excited for it to start. "Yeah, you're very right... It's nice having people back together, though."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie sorted out her glass of wine as Amber sorted out the gin for herself. She was enjoying spending time 1 on 1 with Amber. It didn't happen all that often with their group of friends. She nodded her head, "There's loads of stuff to play but what's the most interesting thing. That's what I'm trying to figure out." She looked around the room. She smiled fondly, though, as she heard Johnnys voice. She had missed him a lot even though she knew that she probably shouldn't. "The rabble are finally here then."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "We never know but I doubt it." Ashton shrugged his shoulders. He really didn't think that anything was going to be good with the group. Especially not as he saw the look on Hetties face when Johnny walked in. He didn't think that Scott was going to like that very much. "It's alright. I don't need you to tell me. I know that you're agreeing with me." He smiled at her. "Guess they're trying to make it so late they don't have to spend much time here."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Somebody on the other side of the house - or Ghosts?" Robyn raised an eyebrow. she had watched too many horror films for that. She would be terrified living there. Robyn smiled as she looked around the room. She was pretty happy to be going there with Johnny and she really wanted to talk to Betsy but things felt weird since she and Johnny had started seeing one another.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River sighed as she followed after the others. She her arm wasn't still linked with Johnnys, she absolutely would have bailed before she stepped foot in the house. She looked to the floor though, as he started shouting. She really didn't want any attention to be drawn to her. She dropped her arm and quickly moved to the side of the room, to try and sort herself out a drink. she was not getting through this sober, that was for sure.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "We will absolutely be the states on the tube and I'm already looking forward to that!" Caleb laughed. He thought that they were going to have a lot of fun on the way home, that was for sure. "Happy halloween!" He called along with Johnny. He never really cared how he looked. And he knew that his friend didn't either. That was one of the things that he really loved about his friend.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Isaac nodded his head with a laugh, "Yeah. I have a bit of work to do tomorrow too so - need a clear mind, right?" He smiled as he shrugged his shoulders. He had been getting a bit busier with work and he was absolutely loving it. He was completely in his element. Isaac chuckled as he looked over at Johnny and Caleb. "They weren't going to enter quietly were they?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Are you an old lady? Is that what's happened? Is that why you've forgotten?" Alyssa asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. She was so grateful for working on Spelling Bee because it gave her some of her best friends - and her boyfriend. She definitely thought that it was worth it. "Oh yeah, I completely agree." She smiled as she nodded her head. Alyssa laughed as she heard the boys. "See - they had to make their entrance."

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber really enjoyed getting to be on her own with Hettie - the girl was one of her best friends but they rarely got to spend time just the two of them, because their group of friends was so big. It meant a lot to her, to be able to have time like this. "I guess we just have to see what kind of a mood everybody is in." She smiled, shrugging her shoulders. She laughed as Hettie called them the rabble, turning to see everybody. "Yeah, I guess so." She raised an eyebrow as she saw them all walking in.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy rolled her eyes as Ashton spoke, but she laughed. She liked that he was confident enough in himself that he didn't need anybody else's affirmation - that was how it seemed to her, anyway. "-- Looks like we were wrong." She laughed as she heard the voices of the boys. "And in a big group costume nonetheless..." She loved them all, but she thought that was pretty in character for them all. Her stomach still fluttered slightly as she saw Robyn and she tried to ignore the feeling.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Oh god, or ghosts - you're right. Or like, zombies, monsters, all of that lot... Either way - I couldn't live here. I'd probably die of fright." Johnny laughed, shaking his head. He grinned as he heard Caleb shouting along with him, heading further into the party. "Okay - we need a drink, the tube ride sobered me up significantly and I'm upset about it." He chuckled, putting down the bag of alcohol they'd brought with them. "What are you having?"

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott looked up from the conversation he'd been having with his friends as he heard Johnny's voice, rolling his eyes in irritation. The boy didn't bother him as much now he had a girlfriend, now he wasn't after Hettie - but he still got on his nerves, a lot. He couldn't help but notice River though and instantly he wanted to go and talk to her, but he knew that wasn't a good idea. She seemed down, sad almost - and he wanted to know what was going on. He wanted to help her.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Audrey didn't mind that they all lived pretty far away from the party - she thought the journey home was one of the funniest parts, everybody trying their hardest to be sensible and get home at the same time as being absolutely hammered. "You're like a bloody foghorn." She laughed as he shouted, shaking her head. She looked over at Hettie and shot her a smile - she thought it could be nice tonight, having everybody back together.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Yeah? What work are you doing?" Seth asked with a little smile. He liked to show Isaac that he was actually interested in what was going on with him - they might've met through the show, through college, but he definitely considered the other to be one of his closest friends by now and he hoped the feeling was mutual. "Absolutely not, I think I forgot where we were for a second." He chuckled.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I think I've been an old lady since I was about twelve. Does that surprise you at all?" Lucy laughed, raising an eyebrow. She knew that she and Alyssa didn't act like the other girls their age, but she also didn't think that was really a bad thing. "Oh wow, look at their costume." She laughed as she saw the last group walk through the door. She thought they looked pretty sweet, all of them together.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie had no idea how things were going to be tonight but she was really looking forward to finding out. She rolled her eyes as she saw River go off on her own. she didn't see the point in coming if she was going to mope around but she wouldn't say anything. As long as she stayed away from Scott, she thought it would be all fine. "Yeah, exactly. See what will be the most fun." She chuckled as she raised an eyebrow. "You look amazing, ignore them." She whispered to her friend.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton had always been a pretty confident guy - but Audrey picking Caleb definitely knocked his a bit. He didn't know how to take that, if he was completely honest. He was the better choice ,wasn't he? He rolled his eyes as he heard the boys and turned to look at them with a sigh. "Fucking hell. Do they want to be any louder?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "You would absolutely die here. It's a good job you and Hettie didn't work out, isn't it?" Robyn laughed as she raised an eyebrow. She wondered if they were far enough removed from all of that for her to say that to him - she hoped he knew that she was only playing with him. "Oh - yes please. "She laughed with a nod of her head. She was still pretty tipsy but she could do with a little more. She refused to even look at Betsy though. She couldn't.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River really didn't think that she was going to be at the party very long. She already wanted to go home. She chewed on her lip for a moment as she felt someone looking at her. She didn't want to see who it was. She didn't think it mattered.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb was absolutely certain that he and Audrey were going to have a lot of fun on the way home. They would be drunk and it would be so fun. He knew that. Just like he was sure that the party would be too. He shrugged as Audrey spoke, "It's just one of the things you like about me, right?" He winked at her before he followed Johnny to the drinks table.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Oh - just building out a couple websites and stuff. It's pretty fun actually." Isaac shrugged his shoulders. he always got a little bashful when talking about his work with friends. It was something he was so passionate about but not something he ever really knew what to do when explaining it all. "That's alright. it's probably better wherever you thought we were." He laughed as he shrugged his shoulders.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Funnily enough, that absolutely does not shock me at all." Alyssa laughed as she shook her head. She thought that the same was probably said about her too. She had always been older than she actually was. She smiled as she looked at the others. "I think I love that though. They all look so cute." She had always enjoyed couples costumes, anyway.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber nodded as Hettie whispered to her, but she didn't really believe what she was saying - she felt almost silly compared to Audrey and Hettie, to the girls that boys wanted. She didn't put herself in that same class, although people were complimentary towards her. "It doesn't matter anyway. I'm not bothered." She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She knew Hettie would know she was lying, but there wasn't much else she could do.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy laughed, shaking her head. "Please don't tempt fate, I don't want to know how loud they can actually get." She loved both boys, but she thought they could be a lot and especially tonight, she didn't think they seemed to realise the people they'd pissed off.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Johnny laughed, nodding his head. "Absolutely. I'd need to bring a night light every time I bloody came over." He liked that Robyn was chilled out enough to mention that he and Hettie had had a thing; he thought it made more sense than just pretending it hadn't happened and he didn't mind joking around about it. He got both of their drinks sorted out and handed Robyn's over with a little smile.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott knew how Hettie would react if the first thing he did was go over to River, so he knew he wasn't about to play with fire like that right away - but he did want to check up on her later, at least. She didn't seem right and for some reason, he felt like he needed to at least ask. She would do the same for him; she had done the same for him, time and time again.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Oh yeah, one of those lovable faults." Audrey laughed, rolling her eyes teasingly. She followed after the boys to the drinks table - she definitely wanted to be more drunk than she was. She felt like the party wasn't in full swing yet - that was why she liked to arrive late, so that she got there when things had already started and there was no awkward waiting around.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "That does sound fun! I mean, I'd have no idea where to even start - but it sounds like it would be a lot of fun to figure out." Seth smiled. He thought it was so cool that Isaac could navigate things like that. He laughed, nodding his head. "Not enjoying the party, then?" He smiled slightly.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "It shouldn't, I think it absolutely makes sense." Lucy laughed. She liked that she and Alyssa were similar in that way, she didn't feel like the odd one out when her friend was around. "They do. I feel bad for River, though. I don't think I'd want to be around two couples all night."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie rolled her eyes as she heard Amber. She knew that she would have said exactly the same thing if she was in Ambers position but it still bothered her. She didn't want her friend to feel like she had to pretend with her. Especially when she thought that she understood how her friend was feeling. Hettie was with Scott and she was so happy with him but she really missed Johnny. She missed spending time with him.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton laughed as he listened to the other. "No, I don't think any of us want to know that, actually. They're a fucking nightmare." He muttered as he shook his head. He didn't understand why everyone continued to put up with any of them but he wasn't about to start something tonight. He didn't see the point. "What's up with her?" He asked, nodding over to River.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn laughed, "Oh god. No wonder she went with someone else." She smiled as she looked at Johnny. Robyn would never really take things too seriously - not stuff like that. She liked that Johnny was the same. She thought that, that was probably why they got on so well, if she was completely honest. "Thank you." Robyn smiled as she took her drink from him.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: If she was completely honest, River thought that she was just a nuisance being there. She couldn't believe that Hettie had even let her into the house. River sighed as she looked around the room and she quickly turned to explore a bit of the house, away from the rest of them for a little bit. She thought a walk around the gardens would probably do her some good.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Faults? It's not a fault! How dare you!" Caleb laughed, as he shook his head. "What are you fancying?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. He knew that they were probably going to want to go pretty hard tonight so he was definitely curious about what she wanted to drink for tonight.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Oh, yeah. I've kind of taught myself so I dunno if it's right but people seem pretty happy with it." Isaac shrugged his shoulders. He really enjoyed stuff like that. He liked being on his own. He enjoyed plugging himself away and getting his work done. It was a lot of fun for him. He shrugged his shoulders, "You know me. I'm not a big party person." He laughed.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "It definitely makes sense." Alyssa nodded her head. She thought that she and Lucy were such good friends because they understood one another. They were pretty similar in almost everything so it made so much sense for them to be friends. "Oh, yeah, no. But it doesn't look like she wants to be either." She muttered, nodding to where she saw her leaving.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: It wasn't that Amber didn't trust Hettie - she trusted her more than a lot of people, but she thought that if she didn't pretend to be okay then everybody was going to know that she wasn't and she didn't want that. "Do you miss him?" She asked Hettie, obviously referring to Johnny. She knew Johnny missed her, even if he hadn't said so.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy laughed, nodding her head. "Come on, they're not that bad - just fucking loud." She smiled. She still thought both boys were good people, just that they were a lot to put up with sometimes. She looked over to River, shaking her head in answer to his question. "I have no idea. Probably the fact that she's fifth wheeling." She shrugged. She did worry though, because she'd seen River at some bad points - but this looked worse than any of them.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Johnny laughed, shaking his head. "Oh yeah, it was a wise decision for all involved." He grinned. He thought it was - at least, that was what he was telling himself. Surely he and Hettie wouldn't have worked? She wanted Scott and he was nothing like Scott. He still missed her though, he couldn't just switch that off and he wondered if she missed him. He wondered if she would speak to him tonight.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "It's okay to have faults! Or did I forget you were Mr Perfect?" Audrey grinned, raising an eyebrow teasingly. She loved that he was loud, because she was too - although probably not quite as loud. She just thought he was one of the most fun people to be around. "Hm... I'll have vodka, please. And whatever mixer we brought." She smiled. She was sure she wouldn't need to tell him to make it strong - she definitely wanted to be drunk tonight.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Seth smiled, nodding his head. "I think that must mean you're doing a great job then, mate." He chuckled. If people were paying for it, Seth thought Isaac must've been doing a pretty satisfactory job. "I know - me either. At least we can just chill out here, the four of us." He thought that was nice, that they could pretty much hide away and enjoy the night with their little group.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "No, it doesn't, does it?" Lucy commented as she watched River almost curiously. She would've thought she'd be having a great time with the boys, all dressed up - but she just looked sad and like she didn't really want to be there. "I wonder what's happened... Do you think maybe there's been an argument?" She questioned, shrugging her shoulders.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie raised an eyebrow as she heard her friends question and she turned to look at the other girl. She didn't know if she should tell her the truth or not. "Yeah, a little." The blonde sighed. She thought that her life would be so much easier if she could just pretend like Johnny didn't exist anymore. She was sure that Scott would prefer that as well.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton shrugged his shoulders. He thought that he was probably just a little jealous of the two boys. They both had gorgeous girls and he was on his own. "Loud and annoying but sure - not that bad." He rolled his eyes. He nodded slightly as he looked from River and then over to Scott. He saw her looking at her and he wonderedif Hettie had. He thought that, that wouldn't go down well if she saw it too.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Definitely for me." Robyn smiled as she looked at Johnny. She hoped that things could get better between the two of them. She really, really wanted for the two of them to be more than just this. She just didn't know if they were actually going to get to that point. Robyn wondered if Betsy was going to talk to her or not. She hoped that she would. She really wanted for the two of them to talk.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "I am Mr Perfect. I can't believe you've forgotten!" Caleb laughed as he shook his head slightly. Caleb had never seen the point in being too serious and it had cost him a lot of relationships - he was glad that Audrey seemed to like that side of him. "Alright." He smiled as he nodded his head. He quickly set about sorting her a vodka and coke and grabbed one of the beers he had brought with him. "Here you go." He smiled.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Isaac shrugged his shoulders, "Here's hoping." He chuckled. He knew that he was probably pretty annoying to be around but he was glad that Seth and the girls at least put up with him. "Yeah, that was what I was hoping for." He smiled as he nodded his head.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Alyssa shook her head. She had no idea what it was that was going on with River but she felt compelled to help her. She didn't know River very well though, so she didn't really know what to do. "Maybe.." She muttered with a nod of her head.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber nodded her head; she was glad Hettie had told her the truth, she hadn't thought she would. "I think he misses you too, H." She said softly. Johnny wouldn't say that to her, she knew he would never put her in the middle like that - but the look he got on his face whenever Hettie was spoken about was enough to make her think she was right. If she was honest, she thought Johnny would rekindle things with Hettie in a heartbeat. She didn't think Scott would be very happy to hear that, though.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy thought it was pretty crazy that somebody like Ashton was still single, after spending so much time around these people - she wouldn't say it, but she wondered if that was the way he wanted it, if that was why he'd seemed so closed off to anything with Audrey. "Most people in this group are loud and annoying, that's what you get when you decide to hang around theatre people." She laughed, raising an eyebrow. "What's going on there?" She raised an eyebrow as she saw Scott looking at River.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Johnny smiled as River spoke, leaning in to kiss her quickly. He really did like her and he thought they could be something great - they just had a few teething problems to work out, they still needed to probably learn who each other was. He thought it was crazy that he and Hettie had never really needed to do that - they'd had a pretty good grasp on who each other was from day one. "Everything okay?" He asked with a little smile - it seemed like something was on Robyn's mind, but he had no guesses as to what it was.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Oh god, I must be losing my marbles! How could I forget I was talking to the Mr Caleb Perfect?" Audrey laughed, rolling her eyes as she spoke. She liked just being able to forget about everything else with Caleb and just have a laugh - he always had the ability to bring a smile to her face, no matter what. It was probably the thing she valued most about him. She smiled gratefully as he handed her a drink, taking a sip. "Are you trying to get me drunk here?" She laughed jokingly, taking a bigger sip.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott watched as River seemed to head off into the gardens, raising an eyebrow slightly. He didn't think anybody seemed to be paying any attention to him and he thought it was normal to want to check if a friend was okay. He grabbed his drink and walked slowly out of the back, trying to act as though he wasn't looking around. He quickly saw her, though. "Hi..." He called, trying not to make the girl jump.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie sighed as Amber said that he missed her too. She thought that, that complicated things more. Hettie really wanted to be able to talk to him but the last thing she wanted was to annoy Scott. "I didn't want us to stop being friends, you know?" She asked her with a sigh. She knew that she could have handled that situation better but she didn't know what she could do about it now. "I don't think he'd talk to me, even if he does." She shrugged.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton had no idea why he was so unable to commit. He had always struggled with it. He thought that there was more to life than just a relationship but he wanted that with Audrey. He wished that he hadn't been such a fool. Ashton scoffed as he nodded his head, "Yeah, that's very true." He chuckled. He didn't know how any of them got a word in, sometimes. he was definitely glad to have a moment with Betsy before everything kicked off. "I have no idea." He muttered with a shrug of his shoulders. "Don't think Hettie would be too thrilled though, do you?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn happily kissed Johnny back. She tried to ignore that the feeling of kissing him was nothing like when she kissed Betsy. She thought that, that was probably a bit of an issue. She thought that it was pretty natural to go through trouble when they were starting a relationship. It was never going to be easy, she thought. "Yeah, yeah. It's fine." She smiled as she nodded her head. SHe didn't see the point in mentioning anything else. Because what was the point? What could she even say anyway?

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "I have no idea how you could forget that. It must be all that alcohol." He laughed. Caleb had so much fun with Audrey and he knew that the same must be said for her too. He was glad of that much, anyway. He laughed as he listened to her and shrugged his shoulders, "So what if I was?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. Though he was pretty sure that, that was what Audrey had wanted.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River just thought she needed a moment to calm down and then she would be ready to either go back into the party or to go home. She had no idea what she wanted to do - but she knew that she felt like she was being suffocated. She definitely didn't think that Scott would follow after her so she was pretty surprised when she heard his voice. She turned around to face him and nodded her head in response to him. She definitely didn't think that he had gone out there to see her.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber knew that things between Hettie and Johnny were complicated and she thought it was mostly because of the way Hettie had handled the situation, but she didn't think it was irreparable - she thought they could get back to being friends. "I know, but I think you hurt him H... He probably just needs it explaining." She shrugged her shoulders. Hettie and Scott getting together had come as a shock for Johnny, especially not hearing it from Hettie first. "He would. You know him, Hettie. He'd never ignore you." She raised an eyebrow.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy thought that if Ashton had sorted whatever his issues with commitment were, the situation would probably be very different right now - she didn't think Audrey would've actually been with Caleb if she thought the option to be with him was there, but she also didn't think it was her place to say it. She liked being an outsider, because it meant she got to observe a lot of things. She was trying not to look over at Robyn, but she so badly wanted to. She laughed as he spoke about Hettie. "Definitely not. I can't wait for that to kick off later." She rolled her eyes.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Johnny was pretty sure there was something that Robyn wasn't telling him, something that was prohibiting her from being her full self with him - but he also didn't think it was up to him to keep on pushing her. He just hoped it wasn't something he'd done. He had definitely noticed that something wasn't there though, that something was missing. He just hoped he could keep on ignoring it until it wasn't an issue anymore. "Okay, good." He smiled, reaching to take her hand and squeezing it softly.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Oh yeah, it must be. I promise I won't forget again." Audrey laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She knew that everybody expected her to be with somebody like Caleb - her family absolutely loved the bones of him, he fit into her friendship group perfectly... But there was something about the unexpected that Audrey had always found so much more exciting and she felt almost guilty because of that. "Then I would say how dare you, I don't get drunk." She shrugged her shoulders, laughing even as she spoke. He really was one of her best friends and she appreciated him so much.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott paused slightly as River just nodded at him; he wasn't really sure what to do with that or how to respond and it threw him for a second. He didn't want to go back inside, he didn't want to leave her out there alone. "What are you doing out here?" He asked softly, raising an eyebrow. He'd never even thanked her for standing up to his parents, but he wondered if she knew just how grateful he'd been.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie really hadn't meant to let things get so bad between her and Johnny. She had wanted to be able to tell him and she wasn't really sure why. If she really thought about it, she thought that she hadn't told him because she was afraid that she had made the wrong choice, that he would convince her that she should be with him. She wanted to be sure of her decision but she absolutely wasn't. "And Scott? He'd go ballistic." She shook her head. She thought that, that was probably why she hadn't properly spoke to the other by now.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Of course Ashton knew that if he proved to Audrey that he wouldn't hurt her, then they might have been able to work. But he didn't know what she wanted from him. He didn't know what more he could do. If she didn't trust him now, what was the point? Ashton chuckled as he listened to Betsy and he nodded his head, "Yeah - it's definitely not going to end well, is it?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn nodded her head slightly as Johnny spoke. She didn't even know how to explain to him about everything with Betsy - mostly because she didn't really know what was happening. She didn't want to admit that anything was happening. "What do you wanna do then?" She asked as she looked at her boyfriend. She wondered if it was normal to feel a little awkward around your boyfriend.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "You better not. Otherwise I'm gonna worry about your brain." Caleb laughed. He was really enjoying the time that he was with Audrey but he wasn't completely sure if the feeling was mutual. He thought that they had a lot of fun - but he didn't know if that was enough for Audrey. It was all that he had really wanted from a relationship though. "Oh yeah, of course you don't." Caleb shook his head slightly. "I'll remind you of that in the morning when you're hungover, then."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River just wasn't sure what to do around Scott anymore. She liked him and she thought that, that was pretty obvious - but then he had practically ignored her since the holiday. So what was the point in trying to talk to him? She didn't want to keep being the sad, pathetic girl anymore. River shrugged her shoulders as she listened to Scott, "I needed some fresh air." She sighed. "Didn't know if I was going to stay or not."

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber had her own opinions on who she thought Hettie should be with, but she wasn't going to share them - Scott was her friend and in her own way, she loved him... She just didn't think the two were very right for each other. She sometimes thought that they relied on each other so much, loved each other so much that they'd confused that for needing to be in love. "Yeah, I suppose he would." She nodded her head. She wasn't going to pretend that wasn't the case, but she didn't know if it was enough reason to not speak to Johnny.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy didn't think she was really in much of a position to give anybody relationship advice; sure, she thought Ashton had been a bit of an idiot and she was pretty sure there were still things he could do now if he wanted to, but she also knew the same could be said for her... She hadn't even spoken to Robyn since she'd found out about her and Johnny and she didn't plan on speaking to her tonight, either. She couldn't face it, she didn't want to feel sad about it anymore. She laughed, shaking her head. "Never does. I think I'll probably head out before there's another showdown, my ears can't take the screaming." She rolled her eyes.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Johnny shook his head slightly, a little smile on his face as he looked around. "I have no idea - everybody seems a lot more calm than I would've thought they'd be. Maybe we really should've listened to Audrey and got here later." He laughed, raising an eyebrow. He didn't often feel awkward around anybody, so he wondered if the fact that he sometimes felt awkward around Robyn was a sign of how much he liked her... Or if it really was awkward.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "You should already be worried about my brain, are you kidding?" Audrey laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She thought it was so easy for them to just chat about nothing and she really enjoyed that; it was something she had with her best friends, too. "Don't remind me of anything in the morning when I'm hungover, that's like Good Boyfriend 101. You're supposed to pretend I didn't do anything embarrassing and tell me I'm a good drunk." She laughed. It was pretty much a given that they would be staying at one of their houses and she liked that, she liked being guaranteed to go home with somebody at the end of the night, even just for company.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott wasn't a stranger to girls liking him; he was popular and a football player and his family had money... But most people just liked him because of the status he had, they didn't actually like him. In fact, Scott thought there were probably very few people who actually liked him - platonic or otherwise. Which was why River intrigued him so much. She had seen parts of him that even Hettie hadn't seen and yet she still seemed to want to be around him. "Why wouldn't you stay?" He asked quietly.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie was so in love with Scott. She didn't want to do anything that would rock that boat. But she missed Johnny and she didn't think that she would be able to stop herself from missing him until the two of them spoke. She really wanted to - she just didn't want to make things complicated. "So what am I supposed to do, Amber?" she asked her. And it wasn't a rhetorical question. She really did want to know what the girl thought she could or should do. Because she really wanted her opinion. She wanted someone to tell her that she should talk to him.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton tried not to think too much about him and Audrey. He didn't see the point. She certainly seemed happy with Caleb so it didn't matter what he thought anymore. Ashton laughed as he listened to Betsy and he nodded his head, "Yeah, maybe i'll come with you. We'd have to predict it first though - that's the thing with Hettie, isn't it?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn nodded her head as she looked around the room, "I guess that's what happens when everyone hasn't seen each other in a while, huh?" She asked him with a raise of an eyebrow. She had thought that things were going to be pretty hard for them to all be around like this. She wondered if things would pick up or if it was going to continue like this.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Oh yeah? Why's that?" Caleb asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He wasn't even sure what the two of them were even talking about but he was having a lot of fun with it all. He really enjoyed being around Audrey and he thought that she could say the same about him. "Ah right, of course." He nodded his head "I will try and remember that for the morning. Can't give up being so perfect, can I?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He liked that she seemed to already know that they would end up together that night.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River didn't know how to be when she was around Scott. She felt like such an idiot when she was around him. She already felt bad enough and she didn't want to deal with this. But she wasn't going to tell him to go away. Because River really, really wanted to talk to him still. She didn't know how to get her head wrapped around all of that. "Why would I stay?" She shot back. "It's not like anyone wants me here, is it?"

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber sighed; she totally understood what it was like to want other people to tell you what to do, because that was basically her whole life. She waited constantly for people to tell her what to do, how to make them happy. But she wasn't even sure what advice to give Hettie. She thought she just had to be honest. "I think you should speak to him. I know Scott won't like it, but... he doesn't really get to tell you what to do." She sighed.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy laughed, raising an eyebrow. "I don't think she's that hard to predict, do you?" She questioned. She was a pretty intuitive person and she liked to think she could predict what was coming, just by paying attention. "Don't worry, I'll let you know when it's time for us to make our exit. I'll look after you." She laughed. She thought the both of them were just pretty done with all the drama now.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Yeah, I guess it does. I know we all saw each other every night in Rock of Ages, but it felt like we didn't really spend actual time together since the holiday, don't you think?" He shrugged his shoulders. Things had been pretty awkward since the airport, with Scott's parents making a scene and he thought everybody felt that. They'd all kept to their little groups in Rock of Ages.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "If you don't know the answer to that question, I don't think you know me very well yet." Audrey teased, nudging her boyfriend gently. She knew that was a lie, he knew her extremely well. She laughed as he spoke, nodding her head in agreement. "I'll write it down for you, don't worry. I wouldn't want Mr Perfect to fall at the last hurdle." She grinned, shaking her head.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott felt a pang in his stomach as River spoke. He really hadn't known that she felt that way and he hated that she did - he didn't understand how somebody like her, somebody that everybody liked so much could feel like that. "I want you here." He blurted out, before he could even think about censoring himself. He regretted saying it, but it was the truth.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie wasn't used to feeling like this. She was so used to doing whatever it was that she wanted, regardless of the consequences, but she really wanted this thing with Scott to work. And she was doing whatever she could to make sure that it would. "Okay." She nodded. "Okay, I'm going to talk to him now." She smiled as she looked at Amber. "I love you." She laughed before she moved over to Johnny and Robyn. She knew that it probably seemed crazy for her to make such a rash decision but she didn't think that she was going to do it, if she left it to later. "Hey - sorry - Johnny, Can we talk, please?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton shrugged his shoulders, "I wouldn't say so but as long as you think so, we're going to be okay." He laughed. Ashton had never been able to predict when Hettie was about to lose her mind. He was always pretty shocked when she flew off the handle. "Alright. I appreciate that." He laughed as he nodded his head. He was pretty done with any kind of drama, he thought.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Yeah, exactly. That's probably why it's still a little quiet now." Robyn shrugged her shoulders. She wasn't completely sure but that was her guess, anyway. She wasn't really sure how to talk to many of the others after the airport. She felt really sorry for Scott though. She raised an eyebrow as she realised that Hettie was coming over to them and she glanced at Johnny, not sure what he would even do about it.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "I'm so confused." Caleb laughed as he shook his head slightly. He thought that he knew Audrey pretty well, though. And he was pretty sure that she knew that he did. Caleb nodded his head, "yeah, yeah, that would be a big help." He laughed as he nodded his head again. "Especially what you think is perfect. That's pretty interesting to me."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River didn't need Scott to feel sorry for her and even as he spoke, she didn't think that he really even meant that. River was so sure that people just put up with her, that they didn't really want her around. That they felt sorry for her and she never wanted that. River shook her head, "Yeah? For how long? 'Cause I don't think your girlfriend would agree." She hadn't been feeling herself for a while now and she thought that, that was pretty clear as she spoke to him.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I love you!" Amber repeated with a smile. She was really happy that Hettie was going to speak to Johnny - she didn't think it was fair that the two of them hadn't been talking all this time just because Hettie thought Scott wouldn't like it. She loved her cousin and she thought he deserved far better than that. She'd seen how sad he'd been when Hettie had chosen Scott over him and it hadn't been nice.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I think that's because you don't pay enough attention." Betsy laughed, nudging her friend teasingly. She thought Hettie was a pretty easy to read person, if you actually thought about it - although she definitely had the ability to surprise her now and again. "Not a problem. I can't be bothered with any fucking drama tonight."

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I don't think you're wrong." Johnny smiled, nodding his head as though to back up what she was saying. He missed the times when they had all been one big group, though. It had all felt a lot easier in the days of Spelling Bee. He was about to say something else when he saw Hettie coming over - and he had no idea what she would want, but he was definitely shocked when she asked to talk to him. "Uh... Yeah. Yeah, we can talk." He said quietly, almost like he was trying to wrap his head around what was going on. They hadn't spoken properly in months. "I'll just be a minute, okay?" He asked Robyn.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Audrey thought Caleb was probably the best boyfriend anybody could ask for, which was why she knew any and all problems with the relationship were totally on her end - and why she knew she had to ignore them. He was almost too good to be true sometimes. "It is? How come?" She asked with a little smile. She had no idea what she would define as perfect - she didn't think it really existed, if she was honest.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Well I'm not my girlfriend, am I?" Scott snapped, sighing as he realised he was already getting defensive. He didn't know why he had to jump to his own defense everytime - except he did, and it was absolutely because he was used to everything being an attack at home. "Sorry. I just - Well, Hettie and I don't always agree." He muttered, shrugging his shoulders. He knew they wouldn't on this, because he really did want River there.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie smiled slightly as Johnny asked Robyn to give them a minute. She thought that she had owed Johnny this conversation from the very beginning. She had just been a coward and she hadn't wanted to think about anything other than Scott. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I should have told you - about Scott. I shouldn't have let you just find out." She shook her head. She wasn't even sure why she had - and even if she did have a small thought about that, she knew that she couldn't say that to Johnny, could she?

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn nodded her head, "Take as much time as you need. I'm gonna check in with Amber." She whispered to him before she moved over to the other girl. Since the holiday, she and Amber had become pretty good friends and Robyn liked spending time with her. "You look awesome!" Robyn smiled as she took in the sight of her friend.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Yeah, that's probably true." Ashton shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't be bothered in keeping up with Hettie and her mood swings. He thought that she was this way or that too often for him to really think about it for too long. "Yeah, no, me neither." He laughed as he nodded his head.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb had no idea that Audrey thought there was a problem in their relationship. He thought that she was in the same mind as him, that things were really good between them. Caleb shrugged his shoulders, "I want to know what you want in a person I guess. I wanna be that." He smiled. Caleb really wanted this to work - but he was never going to be that serious about it all. He didn't think there was much point. What would be, would be. That was basically Calebs moto.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River rolled her eyes as Scott snapped at her. She didn't see why he would be out there with her if he was just going to get angry at anything she said. Usually, she wouldn't let it bother her, not even a little bit. But this time was different - she wasn't herself. "Yeah, clearly." River nodded her head slightly. She sighed as she looked up at him, "Like how your dad treats you? Or is that just me and her?"

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Johnny was always going to give Hettie the time of day, he just wasn't sure what she could say to him to make any of it make sense - things had been going so well for them and he'd liked her so much... and then she had been with somebody else, without a word of explanation. He sighed softly as she spoke - it was far too late, but at least it was an apology. "Yeah, you should've." He told her, nodding his head. "I would've been okay with it. I mean, I would've been upset - but I would've been okay with it." It had hurt so badly, finding out from other people that Hettie had effectively ended whatever relationship they'd had.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber had poured herself another drink since Hettie had gone over to speak to Johnny and she was just pouring in the lemonade when she heard Robyn's voice, turning with a little smile. "Hi!" She beamed. Even though she wasn't totally feeling herself, she really liked Robyn and she was always happy to see her. "Thank you! You look super cute, I love The Wizard of Oz." She smiled. She thought that a month or so ago, she might've been invited to be a part of the costume.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Right, we're not standing around being bitter for the whole night. It's boring. Let's get drunk." Betsy laughed, shaking her head. She and Ashton had always gotten along and she knew that for their own reasons, they weren't necessarily feeling their best tonight - but she didn't think that was any reason that they shouldn't still try and have fun. She grabbed a bottle of vodka she'd brought from the table nearest and unscrewed the cap, taking a huge gulp of it straight from the bottle, before she wiped the top and handed it to him. "Go on, dare you."

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: It wasn't that Audrey felt like there was a problem - she knew there wasn't, not really. It was just something, a niggling feeling that things weren't right and it annoyed her. She knew that she should be absolutely, blissfully happy and not even thinking about anything else right now. She couldn't help but smile as he spoke though, reaching up to kiss him softly. "You are. That's why I'm here." She laughed, shaking her head at him. She knew he was probably the exact person she should be with.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott tensed up slightly as River mentioned his dad; he tried not to think about the day at the airport, about what had happened. It was probably the worst his dad had ever been and he had never been so embarrassed in his life. "Don't go there. Okay? Just don't." He was so grateful for what River had done, but he also understood why Hettie hadn't.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "I think -" She paused, not sure if she really wanted to say this to him. But she had started so she thought that she might as well finish. "I think I was worried that if I told you, you'd change my mind." She really, really liked Johnny and even when she had started with Scott, she didn't think that she was completely sure. "I think that if I had gone with you - then he would have always been in the back of my mind. The what if, you know?" She asked him .She hoped that he understood what she was saying. "I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you first." She had already apologised but she thought he deserved a second one. Especially since she had taken so long with the first.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn smiled at Amber before she started to pour herself another drink. She hadn't really had much to drink since they had gotten to the party so she thought that she probably had some catching up to do. She thought that Amber was one of the prettiest people she had ever met. She didn't understand why some people might not actually see that. "Thank you." She laughed. "I absolutely had to scramble this together at the last second though."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton clapped his hands together and nodded his head, "That sounds like an offer that I absolutely cannot refuse!" He smiled. Ashton really, really wanted to have some fun and he was sure that he could do that with Betsy by his side. He always had fun when he was around her, he thought. He scoffed as he listened to Betsy and nodded his head. He took the drink from her and took a long gulp, like she had. But he wasn't able to keep a straight face. He laughed as he shook his head. "I fucking hate vodka."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb thought that Audrey was probably the exact person he wanted to be with. She was exactly his type. Caleb smiled before he happily kissed Audrey back. He really, really liked Audrey and he definitely felt so lucky to have her. "But that's exactly why I need to be top of my game, isn't it?" He laughed as he raised an eyebrow. "Need to keep on like this for you."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River knew exactly what she was doing when she mentioned his dad, but she didn't really care. She scoffed as he spoke but nodded her head. She had thought that she had made a fool out of herself by standing up for him. She thought that she looked like a right idiot. But she couldn't take it back now, could she? "Fine. Is that all you wanted?" She asked as she looked at him. She had an overwhelming urge to burst into tears .She really didn't want to cry in front of him and she wasn't sure why she even felt like it. She was just such a mess recently.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Johnny was more than surprised as he heard what Hettie had to say; he would never have tried to change her mind if she'd told him she was serious about being with Scott, but he would've also told her how he felt about her. Properly. He'd never gotten to do that. "I still wish you'd told me, Hettie. Hearing from other people, it - that wasn't nice." He sighed, shaking his head. He nodded as she spoke, though. "I do understand that. And hey - you guys seem happy now, so. Right decision, I guess." As much as he wanted to pretend it didn't, that still hurt. That Scott had been the better choice all along. "It's okay. Really, it's okay now. Thank you for apologising." He told her, giving her a genuine little smile.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber was feeling pretty tipsy by now and she was glad about it, because it was helping her to cheer up. She knew she had no real reason to feel sad other than feeling a little bit overlooked, so she definitely just wanted to get past it and have a great night with all the people that she usually had fun with. "Oh really? Well, I can't tell at all, I promise. It looks lovely." She smiled. If she was totally honest, Amber had wondered a couple of times why Robyn and Johnny were together, but she wasn't going to question it.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy was pretty relieved that Robyn hadn't tried to talk to her, because she wasn't sure what she even had to say - it wasn't like they could talk about anything that had happened, because she didn't think Robyn would want to risk people hearing and Betsy wasn't the type of person who could just pretend something wasn't wrong. She didn't like being fake. She laughed as he pulled a face, rolling her eyes as she took the bottle back. "Aw, you're such a baby." She laughed teasingly. "I don't think it really tastes of anything." She shrugged.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Audrey thought one of the best parts about being with Caleb was how well they already knew each other - it was just like being two best friends who were also attracted to each other and she knew that he already knew her better than a lot of people did. "I don't think you'll have any trouble being yourself, you know? But even if you did, I'd still like you." She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. "Go on then, what do you want in a person? What do I need to work on?" She chuckled.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott didn't understand why River was being so prickly - although he'd told her he wanted her to stay and that was true, he didn't get why she was here in the first place when she so clearly didn't want to be. "Look, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. That was all." He sighed, shrugging his shoulders. He wished he hadn't come outside, because he'd clearly made things worse.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie found it really interesting that she was able to be honest with Johnny and not with Scott. She thought that it was because she didn;'t want to do something for him to kick off about. She really wanted things to be good. "I know. I know I should have." She nodded her head. SHe didn't know what more she could say about it though. Hettie smiled slightly and nodded her head, "Yeah, I guess we are." She muttered. Though a part of her wondered if it really was the right decision. She knew that she absolutely could not say that to him. "I really miss being your friend."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn smiled as she watched Amber. She seemed to be a little happier, which was a good thing, Robyn thought. She had thought that she seemed a little sad earlier on in the day. "Oh, well thank you." Robyn nodded her head slightly. she had really enjoyed putting together her outfit - even if it was a little plainer than she had thought it would be.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton kind of wanted to talk to Audrey but he didn't think he would be able to just go over there to talk to her. He thought that was too difficult. He wasn't going to make a fool out of himself like that. "Are you kidding?" Ashton asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. He shook his head. "That stuff is devil fuel. Though, that probably explains why you like it." He laughed as he nudged her.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb smiled and nodded his head, "Alright - that sounds good." He chuckled. He always enjoyed spending time with Audrey. She was one of his most favourite people. "To work on?" Caleb asked with a raise of an eyebrow - and pretended to think for a second. "I don't think you need to work on anything." He laughed as he shrugged his shoulders, "You seem pretty damn perfect to me." He kissed her quickly.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River knew that she needed to go home. She knew that she shouldn't have come in the first place - but she hadn't been able to say no to Johnny. She thought that she was probably going to go home soon though. she had been there for long enough. River stood up then, as Scott spoke, and turned to face him, "Well I'm not, so what are you gonna do about it?" she asked with a raise of an eyebrow.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Johnny knew that this conversation should've happened months ago, but he was just glad that he was getting an apology now - and that Hettie really did seem to understand that what she'd done had been wrong. He felt like he sensed some resistance as she said she and Scott were happy, but he wasn't going to call her out on it. "We can still be friends, Hettie. Just - maybe not the same friends we were before." He chuckled, trying to make a joke out of their situation.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber felt pretty out of place in this group sometimes and that wasn't really something she was used to feeling - at college, she was popular and well-liked and she knew people didn't necessarily dislike her here, but she had come in late. They'd all already made their friends and she hadn't really found where she slotted in yet. "You're welcome. Are you enjoying the party?" She asked, taking a little sip of her drink as she looked at the blonde.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy knew that the two of them getting drunk could go one of two ways - they could end up being fun-drunk and having the best night, or it could just serve to make them even more bitter... But she thought having a bit of liquid courage might actually help her to say what she needed to say to Robyn. "Oi, there's no need to be rude. Not that you're wrong, though." She laughed, rolling her eyes as she took another swig and held out the bottle again.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Audrey had already spotted Ashton when she'd come in and she knew instantly that she missed him; even just talking to him, but she didn't know if going over to talk to him would be fair to Caleb. She didn't want to hurt him. "Err, so cheesy." She teased as he spoke, shaking her head - her smile showed that she was kidding, though. She kissed him back happily, pulling away with a laugh,

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott was pretty surprised that River so openly told him she wasn't okay - he thought that was more worrying than anything else. "I wanna help you, but I don't know how." He admitted, purposefully making eye contact with the girl. He wanted her to know he was serious, he really did want to help. He would never admit it, not even to himself - but he cared about her. He wanted her to be alright.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Like Johnny, Hettie knew that they should have been having this conversation a while ago. She should have told him what was going to happen but she thought that it was better to be late than never. Hettie thought that she and Scott should be together - but she didn't really know how happy they really were. She knew that she didn't want it to end though. Hettie laughed as she nodded her head, "Yeah, somehow I don't think the friends we were before would work now." she nodded. "You seem happy though - with Robyn?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn would have hated to know that Amber felt out of place in that group. She really liked the other so she would never have liked to hear it. Robyn really thought that Amber was a good person, a lovely person. She didn't see why people might not like her. "Yeah - it's pretty chill tonight, huh?' She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a smile.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton wasn't thinking about the consequences of the alcohol. He was pretty sure that if he did, he wouldn't be drinking because he would know it would put him in a worse mood. But right now, he was just going to have fun with Betsy. "I know i'm not wrong." Ashton laughed as he nodded his head. He never thought he'd get along with someone like Betsy - and especially not as well as he did. But he really liked spending time with her.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb would never stop Audrey from talking to whoever she wanted to talk to. If she wanted to talk to Ashton, he wouldn't think anything of it. They were friends after all, right? Caleb thought that he would like to talk to Amber at some point. They hadn't really spoke much and he knew that he definitely missed her. "Right - well I take it all back then." He laughed as he shook his head.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River sighed as Scott spoke. Even though she knew that he was telling her the truth, she didn't know if there was really anything that he could do to help her. She knew what this was and she just had to get herself through it. "Me neither." River muttered with a shake of her head. "I don't think there's much you can do." She shook her head with a sigh before she sat down.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: From what Johnny had seen, he honestly didn't know if he thought Hettie and Scott were happy or not - they seemed to argue and challenge each other a lot, but he knew that was maybe just how they worked. It wasn't up to him to judge that anymore. "Maybe not." He chuckled, nodding his head. "Yes. Yeah. I am." He smiled as she spoke about Robyn; he thought they were happy. He was happy, she was happy. Just maybe not together, but he thought that would come with time.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber nodded her head. "Yeah, very chill. I'm surprised - I expected shouting by now." She giggled. She was just joking, although part of her really had expected things to be a bit more dramatic than they had been so far. She liked it like this though, she liked not seeing everybody at odds with each other, waiting for a fight.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy didn't think she was a particularly hard person to get along with, but she knew she gave off the image and vibe of somebody that was - so she was usually on the outside of things and happily so. "At least I can drink it without gagging." She laughed, shaking her head.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Audrey knew Caleb was never going to stop her from doing anything, but it was more about not wanting him to feel weird - she thought he'd probably talk to him about it at some point. "Okay, good. You don't want me expecting that level of niceness all the time, do you?" She laughed, nudging him gently with her elbow.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott had never been good at anything like this, he was never the person people went to for help or advice and this was why. But he didn't like not being able to help River. He sighed as she sat down, moving slightly closer to where she was. "What's going on?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie thought that she was always going to be in a relationship where it was going to challenge her. SHe didn't think that she would ever properly settle things if she and whoever she was with, would just go along with whatever she thought. "Sorry to say." She shrugged her shoulders with a laugh. She definitely missed spending time with Johnny... In all ways. "Good. I'm glad that you are." She smiled.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn laughed along with Amber before he nodded her head, "Yeah, me too. I guess we just have to hope it continues like this, right?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow and a laugh. Robyn thought that it was pretty fun to see the drama but she was definitely glad that she wasn't the one in it. She thought that Robyn was pretty much the same too.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb thought he was really lucky to have Audrey so he wasn't about to do something which would possible wreck that. He liked being with her far too much for that. "Yeah it's only happening because i'm trying to make sure you're here for good. That's all." Caleb laughed as he shrugged his shoulders.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River sighed as Scott sat down next to her. She knew that he wasn't going to let it go like that but she didn't even know what to say to him. She chewed on her lip and looked at the floor. "I am clinically depressed, Scott. It'll pass." She was well aware of what was going on - she just had no idea how she was ever going to pull herself out of it - and she hoped that Scott understood that there wasn't much he could do.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie smiled as she heard Audreys voice. She had been trying to get away to have a moment by herself but she didn't mind spending time with Audrey. She always had fun when the other was around. "Yeah, it's pretty good ,huh?" She laughed as she raised an eyebrow. It had been quieter than one of her usual parties but she kind of liked that. Hettie nodded her head, "God, you're like a fucking spy. Yeah, I was talking to him earlier."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton laughed as he listened to Scott and he nodded his head, "Something to do with us being drunk, I think." He shrugged his shoulders. He and Betsy had basically had the whole bottle of vodka between them and now he was on the whiskey - it was safe to say that he was definitely drunk. "Did I see you sneaking off after that weird girl earlier?" Rivers name escaped him in that moment but he couldn't help but be nosey.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn had spent most of the night gossiping and drinking with Amber and she had, had a really nice night. And she was definitely well on her way to drunk. She was going to fresher herself up in the bathroom when she bumped into Betsy, her eyes went wide. She shook her head as she heard the other. "No - No. Don't go." She sighed and reached out to grab the girls hand. She really wanted to talk to her. That was all that she had really wanted the entire night. She knew that, that shouldn't have been the case but she couldn't help it. And she was more forward with her thoughts now that she was drunk.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Despite her better judgement, River decided to stay at the party. She thought that Johnny and the others probably needed someone to look after them when they inevitable got too drunk. She had had a couple of drinks herself but not that many. She was still pretty sober. "Hi." River smiled slightly as Johnny wrapped his arm around her. The brunette shrugged her shoulders, "Yeah, it's alright. How's yours?" She asked him. She hoped that he had been having a good time.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Caleb wasn't used to being by himself but he was able to keep himself entertained anyway. He smiled, though, as he heard Ambers voice. He had missed spending time with her a lot. She was a really nice person and Caleb and her really got along - he was so glad that they were friends. "Hey! Happy halloween. I love your costume." He chuckled as he looked over her for a second. "How's your night?"

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Yeah, really good. I feel like I've barely gotten to talk to anybody though." Audrey laughed, shrugging her shoulders. She had spent a lot of time with Caleb and the others tonight and now she wanted to make sure she got a chance to see everybody. They were all going to be doing another show together after all, they would be seeing a lot of each other. "I know, I'm pretty spy-like when I want to be. I pride myself on it." She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. "How'd it go?" She knew the two hadn't spoken since everything went crazy, so she was definitely curious.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Yeah, that would probably have something to do with it." Scott laughed, nodding his head. "I'm not as drunk as you, though." He couldn't handle vodka and especially not straight. He raised an eyebrow as Ashton called River the weird girl. "You know her name, man. Don't be a dick. And I wasn't sneaking off anywhere, I just went outside for a bit." He would refuse to admit that he'd sneaked anywhere, because then it would beg the question of why.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy was a pretty straightforward person, but when she'd had a drink she especially didn't have time to waste being false - which was why she'd tried to stay away from Robyn, because she didn't want to have to say what she had to say here. She looked back in shock as the blonde grabbed her hand, raising an eyebrow. "What's up, Robyn?" She asked with a little sigh. She just couldn't understand how things had been the way they had been between them and all of a sudden, Robyn had a boyfriend.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Yeah, it's been good." Johnny smiled. He'd asked River if she was okay a number of times, so he didn't want to keep bugging her by asking her again - he just wanted her to know that she could go to him if she ever needed somebody, that he would always be there. "Hettie apologised to me." He said, his voice a little quieter than it had been before. He had been dying to tell somebody, but he hadn't found Caleb yet. He didn't know if he was banking too much on it, if he was putting too much thought into it - but he was really happy it had happened.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Thanks! I love yours, it looks so comfortable. Aren't you boiling, though?" Amber giggled, shaking her head as she took in Caleb's costume. She loved how he was always down for a joke. It was easy for Amber to see why she'd had a crush on him, but she knew that was all it had been - she mostly just thought that Audrey was going to hurt him and she didn't like that, because above all else he was her friend. "It's been great, I was just with Robyn but I'm not sure where she went." She laughed. "How's yours?"

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "No, you've been too busy with that boy of yours, haven't you?" Hettie raised an eyebrow. She really liked Audrey and Caleb together. She thought that they were good together and it definitely seemed like they had a lot of fun together. She wondered if Audrey was really over Ashton though. She thought that, that was pretty interesting. She didn't know if she should ask her friend about that, though. "You're not stealthy enough for it, though." Hettie laughed as she nudged her friend. "Yeah, it was good." She paused before she added, "I apologised to him."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "I don't think anyone is as drunk as me right now. This is a bad idea." Ashton chuckled - before he took a big gulp of the glass of whisky in his hand. He didn't think that it would be long until he went on to water for a little bit. Ashton shrugged his shoulders, "I forgot! I don't remember it." He laughed then. He thought that she was pretty irrelevant so he didn't understand why Scott got so het up about her. "Which is where she was."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Now that Betsy had stopped, Robyn wasn't sure what to say to her. She had so much to say but none that she really felt like she could say. She wasn't willing to admit her feelings for the other girls. She couldn't even admit that they were real. The blonde shook her head, "I just - I thought we could hang out? We've not spoke for a little while?" She raised an eyebrow. she didn't think that the two of them had to stop being friends, just because she had a boyfriend.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Good." River nodded her head. The conversation she had, had with Scott earlier on had been playing on loop in her brain. She didn't know if it was good or bad. She couldn't really make sense of it but she felt pretty foolish. She had admitted more to him, then she had to any of her proper friends. She didn't know what it was what Scott had over her. She raised an eyebrow as Johnny spoke to her. "Really?" She asked him. "Too little, too late though, right?" She asked him .She could see he was happy and that worried her. He was just getting over all of that. She didn't want him being sucked back in.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "I am. But it's alright. The drink it kind of helping." Caleb shrugged his shoulders before he took a sip of his drink. He had, had to take a couple moments outside because he had gotten too warm. He was definitely feeling the heat. Caleb definitely thought that there was a little something there between him and Amber but he was happy with Audrey. So he didn't feel a need to try and explore that with the red head. "Oh yeah, you guys are pretty good friends now, right?" He asked her with a smile. "Yeah, it's good. You know i love a party."

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Audrey laughed, nodding her head. "Yeah, guilty." She smiled. She had been spending a lot of time with Caleb and she liked that Hettie seemed to be supportive of that. Everybody had been so far and it was pretty nice. "That's true. I'm fast, but fucking clumsy." She chuckled. She raised an eyebrow in surprise as Hettie said she'd apologised to Johnny. "Shit, really? Did he accept it?"

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott laughed, shaking his head as his friend went in for another drink. "I don't know how you're still alive right now, mate." He thought he was doing pretty well to even be speaking full sentences, the amount he'd had to drink. "Yeah. I just went to see if she was alright. Not a big deal, is it?" He shrugged his shoulders. He thought anybody would do that for anybody else, if they saw them looking down.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy raised an eyebrow as Robyn asked if they could hang out. This all just felt a little insane to her, because she knew she hadn't been making up what was going on between them. They'd kissed, they'd slept together - and now she was acting as though they'd been friends all along? "Well yeah, I don't really tend to speak to people that make me feel like a dick." She shrugged her shoulders. Betsy had been used as an experiment by more girls than just this one and she was sick of it.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "Well, I mean... An apology is an apology. Better late than never." Johnny shrugged his shoulders. He knew that it was late and he'd said that to Hettie, he'd told her that she hadn't been fair - but he also did want to accept her apology, because he missed her. He'd been missing her for a while now. It meant something that she regretted what she'd done and he couldn't ignore that.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "It's helping? I'm surprised it isn't making you warmer." Amber laughed, shaking her head. She always overheated when she was drunk, which was why she usually spent the majority of the night outside. She smiled as he spoke about Robyn, nodding her head. "Yeah, I guess we bonded in Greece or whatever. She's such a nice person." She laughed. she really did like Robyn. "Of course! Although it's a lot tamer than anything I expected Hettie to be hosting."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie wouldn't tell Audrey what she really thought about all of it, until Audrey asked her what she thought about it all. She wasn't going to shit on her friend if she was happy - and she seemed to be pretty happy. "You might be the most clumsy person I've ever met." Hettie laughed. She was so surprised that the two of them had managed to make it out of the situation in Greese with how clumsy her friend was. "Yeah, seems to be good between us now."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton shrugged his shoulders, "Ask me again tomorrow. Don't think I'll have the same answer, do you?" He asked with a raise of an eyebrow. Ashton was fully aware that he was going to have a bad hangover the next day but he didn't care that much. Not right now. Ashton shrugged his shoulders, "Depends if you're gonna mention it to Hettie or not." He thought that if he didn't, then it was pretty telling.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn was so confused as she heard what Betsy had to say. "Wait - what?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow. "Why - how did I do that?" She had no clue that Betsy was upset with her so she was genuinely asking. She refused to believe anything between the two of them was more than friendship so she didn't see why Betsy would think it was more. Especially since she hadn't said anything about it.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Yeah, I guess. Just don't know how much she means it." River shrugged her shoulders. She half wondered if it was because she knew that he was getting over her. She thought that, that would be something that Hettie would do. River really didn't want to see Johnny get hurt by her - again - and she thought that, that was exactly what he was going to do.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Maybe it's just wishful thinking." Caleb laughed as he shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't even sure what he was saying anymore but he was having a lot of fun, he thought. He was definitely glad to be spending time with Amber though. She was always a lot of fun. "Yeah. She seems to be. I like her. And she's good to Johnny so..." Caleb thought that someone lke Robyn was the least that Johnny deserved. "Oh don't jinx it."

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Audrey wasn't going to ask anybody's opinions, because she wasn't really sure she wanted to hear them - she was sure this was what everybody had thought she should do, what people had thought was the right thing. "You're not the first person who's said that to me, I'm starting to think you might all be right." She laughed. She thought it was a miracle she wasn't constantly in a cast. "Good - it was about time. It's always weird when somebody doesn't talk in a group situation, you know?" She shrugged. She hoped things would be a bit more normal now.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Scott laughed, nodding his head. "I don't think I'll be asking you anything tomorrow, you're going to need a few days recovery." He laughed again, rolling his eyes. He was a pretty good drinker, but vodka bad the ability to put him in bed for days. "Do I need to tell her about everybody I speak to?" The conversation was annoying him now; he'd gone outside to check up on a friend, he didn't think that had to be a big deal. Especially after what River had told him. He wasn't going to feel guilty for that.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Betsy didn't blame Robyn for not thinking the same things she had, or for not wanting to be with her - she wasn't that type of person, she knew that it wasn't a big deal. But she didn't like feeling used. She raised an eyebrow as Robyn asked why she felt that way. "Okay well, we went from talking all the time, we kissed, we slept together and the next minute you've got a boyfriend and we haven't spoken in weeks?" She shrugged her shoulders. "It's whatever, I don't care - but I'm not just an experiment for you to test your feelings on. It's a really shit thing to do."

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: "I feel like if she didn't mean it, she probably wouldn't have gone out of her way to say it to me, you know? She could've just left it. It wouldn't make much difference to her." Johnny shrugged his shoulders. He really wanted to believe that Hettie meant what she'd said, because he missed her and he needed to believe that she was sorry, because she's really hurt him.

SC AM JM LO SD BA AM: Amber laughed, raising an eyebrow. "Well, if it's working - then it's working!" She smiled. She really liked being able to spend time around Caleb, he always made her laugh and he was one of the rare people she knew who really didn't care about how they looked. "Yeah, she is. They look good together." Although Amber didn't really know how long it was going to last, she liked that they seemed to have a pretty easy relationship. "Sorry! I don't think anybody heard, so we're good." She giggled.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Hettie thought that Caleb was definitely the obvious choice for Audrey - but she had also seen how she looked at Ashton and she didn't think it was the same with Caleb. She wondered if she was going to turn out to be right, though. "I cannot believe you managed to get Sherrie over me. You can barely keep on your own two feet." Hettie laughed as she shook her head. She had thought that Audrey had done a really good job in the end - even if she was still a little bitter. "Yeah. Though i'm sure we're not done with problems just yet."

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Ashton chuckled before he nodded his head, "Yeah, probably. That sounds about right." He thought that he definitely needed a chill couple of days after this. Ashton shrugged his shoulders slightly as Scott spoke. "No. But you do when that person also kissed you a few weeks ago." He knew that he was pissing Scott off but he was too drunk to even care about that.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: Robyn had no idea that, that was what Betsy had thought. She thought that the other would understand what it was and she hated that she didn't. She stared at her, just blinking. "I ---" But what could she say? She couldn't physically tell Betsy that she wasn't just an experiment. She couldn't get those words out. Her eyes filled with tears and she shook her head. "Okay." She muttered before she pushed past her into the bathroom. She wanted so badly to be brave enough to tell her what she was thinking but her mouth wouldn't make the noises.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: River shrugged her shoulders, "You know her better than I do. I'm just - I don't want her to hurt you again." And she thought that, that would be obvious that, that was her concern. she loved Johnny so much. And she wanted him to be safe. She wanted him to be happy. River couldn't get her conversation with Scott out of her head. She hadn't even properly admitted that to Johnny or any of her other friends. Though she was sure that they could pretty much guess.

HD AK RW CK AM IS RM: "Exactly. That's all I need." Caleb laughed as he nodded his head. He really liked spending time with Amber. She was fun. He had definitely missed her the last couple of weeks. Caleb smiled as Amber spoke about Robyn and Johnny. "Makes more sense than the previous pairing, don't you think?" He asked her. He figured that Amber would have more of an opinion on Johnny and Hettie, than he did. "Okay, okay. Good." He chuckled with a nod of his head.
