The bar is loud. In both the music and the talking amongst people. Tara immediately went to the bar as soon as we had set foot in the door, pulling me with her.

We sit in between two groups, a group of guys to our left, and a group of girls to our right. I stare at my cherry and peach tea as I think about Tyler. "What do you think she's drinking?" Tara snaps me out of my daze. I look over my shoulder to see who she's talking about.

A girl surrounded by a loud group only stands out with how quiet she is. As the other girls are obviously flirting with each other, she's sitting in the corner not talking. She looks bored even. A set of brown eyes staring down at her phone screen with a bored expression as a blonde girl is trying, and obviously failing, to chat her up. She just nods as the girl talks. I find myself rather amused by her quietness. She has brown hair in a longer pixie cut that looks pushed back, maybe to keep it out of her face. She's wearing a baggy yellow jumper and a pair of black basketball shorts with pink Chuck Taylor's that have little strawberries all throughout them.

"Ask the bartender?" I look back at Tara. She's trying to fix her makeup in a small compact mirror.

"Hey, what's the one in the Chuck Taylor's drinking?" Tara asks the man behind the bar.

"Yellow Jumper?" His husky voice asks. Tara nods and grips the counter, it's clear she desperately wants to know what this girl is drinking. "She usually drinks Smirnoff, but tonight she's just been drinking beer." I look back at the girl, she takes a break from her phone and holds the beer bottle to her mouth as she nods to the girl talking next to her. She takes a drink and then looks over at the blonde girl as she puts it down. The blonde girl looks at her expectantly. Yellow Jumper Girl says something inaudible to me. The blonde girl stands up and looks down at Yellow Jumper in disbelief. The blonde girl says something to her with a hurt expression before storming off.

Yellow Jumper just shrugs and looks back down at her phone. I look back at Tara. She's pushing a drink to me desperately. I look at the clear liquid before I look back up at her. "What's that?"

"Smirnoff. Go be my wing-woman please!" Tara begs. I roll my eyes before grabbing the cup of vodka and making my way to Yellow Jumper.

At first, she doesn't look up. She just continues scrolling on her phone. I clear my throat and she looks up. "Yes?" She looks at me.

"You drink Smirnoff?" I ask as I hold up the glass.

"Yeah." She nods. I hold the glass down to her. She takes it before she sips from it and holds it on her leg.

"You're into chicks, right?" I ask as I look down at her. Her eyes flick from left to right before they focus back on me. She nods slowly. "Good. My friend Tara had me tag along to be her wing-woman or some shit like that. She bought you the Smirnoff."

"How does she know my drink?" Yellow Jumper asks.

"She asked the bartender." I shrug as I look back. I see Tara quickly turn her head back to the bartender.

"She's the one in the blue dress?" Yellow Jumper asks another question. I nod as I look back at her. She smiles before looking up at me. "Send her on over. She looks more interesting than all these blonde fucks." I widen my eyes at the harsh play of words before nodding and walking back to Tara.

"So...?" Tara slaps the bar in anticipation and the bartender groans at her actions, obviously not a fan of her hitting his neatly laden bar.

"Told me to send you her way." I nod back to the girl. Tara jumps off her stool and gives me a tight squeeze.

"Oh, you're the best wing-woman ever!" She squeals as she pulls away and looks at me. Her excited expression quickly becomes worrisome. "Oh... do I look okay? Do you think she'll like me?" Tara asks nervously.

"Just go talk to her." I roll my eyes and turn Tara toward Yellow Jumper. I slap her ass as she starts walking and she only jumps slightly as she makes her way to Yellow Jumper.

I look back at the bartender and sit down at the bar again. "Are you gay?" I ask the bartender a little loudly. He blushes lightly at the sudden question and looks at me. I raise an eyebrow and tilt my head a little. He shakes his head as he pulls the towel from his shoulder and wipes down the bar with it.

I nod as I drink from the glass in front of me. "Excuse me?" I hear someone behind me. I decide to ignore them, they probably aren't talking to me anyway. "Um... that's my drink..."

I turn around and look the person up side down. A shorter man with brown stands there staring at me. I widen my eyes and pull a bright smile when I realize who it is. He realizes it at the same time and does the same thing.

"Ethan!" I squeal and jump from my stool. I wrap my arms around him and he wraps his arms around me.

"God, I haven't seen you since I graduated!" He squeezes me tighter.

"I know it's been forever!" I smile as I pull away.

"God you've grown so much! 21 now, right?" He looks at me. I nod. "God. How's the love life?"

"I have an Australian boyfriend..." I inform him. He smiles and nods. "Let me pull up a picture," I say as I pull my phone out. I pull up a picture of me and Harper at a carnival on the ferris wheel. I hold it up to Ethan.

He looks at it and looks back at me. "Okay, he is fucking hot," he laughs.

I laugh and nod. "I think he's gonna propose soon," I say dreamily.

"Wonder what that rock's gonna look like?" He laughs and punches my shoulder playfully.

I smile. "So what're y'all doing back?"

"Oh, Mark wanted to do a video about home. Someone requested it and well... were delivering it! If you want, they're taping some now so you can jump in?" Ethan smiles at me.

"Really?" I ask. He nods and points to a booth in the far corner. Mark, Sean, and Felix are all sitting together, smiling and talking, as Mark holds up a camera.

"Yeah. Come on." Ethan nods back. I smile and hold my hand out. He takes it and leads me to them. They all look up at me before realizing who I am.

"Andrew!" They all squeal at the same time. Mark gives the camera to Sean and scoots out of the booth. He shoves me in and pushes me against Sean. He gets in next to me and then Ethan gets in.

Sean holds the camera at me. "Guys this is the dearest Andrew!" Mark says to the camera as he squishes up against me. I smile and wave at the camera. "She's the sweetest..." Mark kisses my cheek. I pull a fake surprised look before I giggle and look over at him.

"Hey, guys!" We all look up to see Tara standing there with Yellow Sweater. Sean puts the camera down. "Andrew!" She points to Yellow Sweater and smiles.

Yellow Sweater waves awkwardly before making a peace sign, "Yo." She giggles a bit drunkly. How much did Tara give her?

"Okay, Andrew, take my keys!" Tara tosses me her car keys. I catch them. She smiles before she and Yellow Sweater walk out.

"Did she look familiar...?" Felix looks over at the others. I turn my head to look at the boys.

"Yeah, why did she look so familiar?" Mark looks over at everyone individually.

"Oh, shit. Guys..." Ethan says quietly. Everyone snaps their heads towards him. He widens his eyes as he looks at us. "That's Alana..."
