Chapter 4: The Party

"Nothing happened," Brianna said, blushing still. I raised an eyebrow not completely believing her.

"Sure," I said smirking. She rolled her eyes, and then face palmed.

"Crap," she mumbled under her breath. "I forgot to tell everyone about dinner."

"Dinner? What dinner?" I ask confused.

"I was talking to John and I came up with the idea to host a party to celebrate the making of the new movie!" She said. "And I forgot to tell everyone! I'm so stupid," she said mumbling colorful words under her breath.

She then started running around frantically looking for her phone.

"Chill out Brianna, we have more than enough time to prepare," I said bored. She then starts shaking her head fast.

"No you don't understand! The party is in 3 hours," she said picking up her phone that was under the kitchen table. How it got there, I have no idea.

"And you wait until now to tell me?" I said looking around for the scripts. The scripts had the contact information for the whole cast on the back.

"Sorry, I was just so distracted!"

"With Sam," I said smirking. She glared and then I held my hands up. "Okay, give me the phone so I can call everyone."

She then started blankly at me.

"Or you could do it! Yeah...I'll just go...decorate," I said and rushed out of the kitchen.

I run to the closet and then run right back into the kitchen.

"Oh yeah...where's the party stuff?" I ask awkwardly. She rolls her eyes, probably expecting this to happen.

"I bought some earlier, it's up in my room."

I nod and run towards her room. I rush to her closet and just see clothes.

Where the hell is the party supplies?

I think for a while. If I was Brianna where would I put party stuff?

Under my bed, that's where I would hide it. I look under the bed and sure enough, there are streamers and a sign that says "Happy Birthday" on it.

You have got to be kidding me. It's gonna have to do.

I grab the supplies and walk to the family room, and I sit the stuff on the couch.

"Brianna where's the tape?" I yell to the kitchen.

"In the drawer on the table thingy." What the hell is that suppose to mean?

"Huh?" I say back.

"The side table! In the drawer!" She says. Oh.

I open the drawer and search for the tape. Once I have it I open the streamers.

Time to start decorating.

~

After about 2 hours and 27 minutes, the whole apartment has been decorated and the food has been made.

We have about 20 minutes before the party actually begins.

"Finally," I sigh, feeling slightly tired.

"I'm gonna go...go get..changed," Brianna said a little out of breath. She then leaves the family room.

I look down at what I'm wearing. Skinny jeans and a fancy top will work right? It better because I'm not changing.

Then the doorbell rings. Who fudge cakes arrives 20 minutes early?

I get up lazily, when the doorbell rings again.

"Chillax dude! I'm coming," I yell to the front door. I then open it and Logan is standing there.

"Hi Sunshine," he says before letting himself in. Sunshine?

"Yeah, come let yourself in," I mumble. He smirks.

"Oops, already did."

"Why the hell did you come early!?" I ask, sort of frustrated I didn't have time to rest.

"Oh you know, I was in the neighborhood," he says. "Nice banner by the way," he adds.

"In a tux?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

"So when does dinner start?" He asks ignoring my question.

Then Brianna walks in wearing a black dress and super high heels. She looks up and sees Logan.

"Oh it's you."

"Nice to see you too," he mumbles. I cover my mouth to hold in a laugh.

"These hooker heels are a pain!" She said not paying attention to what he just said. She then takes off her heels and lays down on the couch. I shake my head and turn to Logan.

"You wanna drink?" I ask Logan. He shrugs.

"What do you have?"

"Brianna what kinds of drinks did you buy?" I ask her. She then smiles.

"Oh you know water, soda, alcohol, lemonade-"

"You bought alcohol?!" I ask. How did she even get any? Logan coughs.

"I'll just have a root beer," he says.

"I didn't buy root beer-"

"So you buy actual beer, but not root beer?" I ask. She shrugs. This girl I swear, I'm gonna strangle her someday.

"That's okay, I'll have some lemonade," he said smiling. I nod and get up to go to the kitchen.

While I'm gone I hear the doorbell ring.

*Brianna's POV*

"I'll get it!" I say fixing my hair real quick. Logan then gets up and rushes to the door.

"Wow thanks for letting me welcome guests into my own home," I mumble sarcastically.

"Oh hey Sam," I hear Logan say. Wait Sam?

I fix my hair even better trying to look perfect, but when I get to the front door I trip.

Stupid heels.

"Oh my God, are you okay?" Sam asks worried. I then feel his hand on my arm trying to help me up.

"Oh my God that was so embarrassing!" I say covering my face.

"Yes, yes it was," Sam says, which makes me slap his arm. No need to be rude.

"Shut up," I mumble. I then look up at Logan who is laughing his ass off at me.

"I can feel the love," I say sarcastically. Logan then leaves to the kitchen most likely going to tell Alex about my fail.

"I'm only kidding, it's nice when a girl has flaws," Sam says, then added an exaggerated wink.

"You mean falls," I mumble, but he hears and starts chuckling. "Who am I kidding? I'm a laughing joke."

"No you aren't, but your heating system is," Sam says rubbing his arms.

"I know right! I'm freezing especially in this dress!" I exclaim. Sam then takes off his jacket, setting it on my shoulders.

Okay then, this is nice.

"Thank you," I mumble, my cheeks starting to warm up.

"Well I forgot to wear my dress today, so," he trailed off.

"You're such a sugar cube," I say quietly.

"What?"

"Nothing," I say quickly when the doorbell rings. He probably wouldn't get the reference since I'm obsessed with his character, Finnick.

I see Alex walk towards the door.

"Hello John," She says, greeting John.

*Alex's POV*

Logan suddenly runs into the kitchen almost making me drop his lemonade.

"What's so funny?" I ask noticing him laughing.

"Brianna just...just tripped...and f..fell," he said in between laughing.

"Is she okay?" I ask laughing a little. He nods, tears starting to well up in his eyes.

"Who cares?" He ask wiping his eyes. Then the doorbell rings a little while after. I hand him his lemonade, and I laugh as I walk towards the door.

"Hi John," I greet once I see who it is. There's a lady standing next to him, probably his wife or girlfriend. He nods at me.

"Hi Alex, this is my wife, Hope," he introduced. I smile at her, and she waves.

"What a lovely apartment," she compliments. Then her eyes widen as she sees the decorations.

"John...did you do this?" She asks, smiling widely. He then looks up and his mouth makes an 'o' in understanding. I'm sitting here confused.

"I can't believe you guys knew it was my birthday!" She exclaims. Wait it's her birthday? And I used a birthday banner.

"Well actually-" Brianna starts but I interrupt her.

"Of course we did! Do you like it? I didn't know exactly what you liked since we've only just met," I said, shooting Brianna a short glare telling her to go along.

"It's perfect! Thank you guys," she said her eyes starting to water in happiness. I smile.

"Glad you like it."

The party is over in no time. Seriously, it was only about an hour or two.

"We better get going," John says, grabbing Hope's hand. I nod and wave as they walk towards the door.

"Happy birthday!" I say as they walk out. Everyone has left a while ago, so it was only Brianna, Sam, Logan, and I. They insisted on staying later.

Brianna then takes a big gulp of her beer. She's tipsy in no time.

Oh great, drunk Bri is the worse Bri.

"Let's be spontaneous and Play sp-sp-spin the bottle," she slurs.

"Well we do have a empty bottle of beer now," he says looking at Brianna as she smiles sheepishly.

"Are you sure?" I ask hesitant. I don't really feel like having to loose my firsts kiss this way.

I admit it. I've never been kissed.

"HELL YEAH!" Brianna exclaims. She then stands up but starts to loose her balance. Sam catches her and sets her on the ground. We sit in a circle.

"I'm gonna regret this," I mumble. Just in case, I grab a bottle of wine and sat it beside me.

"This is going to be a night to remember," Logan says and winks. He's so cocky I wanna punch him.

"LOGAN YOU GO FIRST!" Brianna says, clapping her hands together. I take a gulp of the wine and it sort of...stings on the way down.

Oh my God...I just drank. I've never done that before.

I take another gulp.

"I hope I don't get Sam," Logan mumbles and I giggle.

What? I don't giggle...what's wrong with me? I don't like being drunk.

Logan spins the bottle.

~

"ALEX GET YOUR ASS UP!" I hear and I jolt awake. I rub my head.

"Can you lower your voice?" I plead.

"Hangover's a bitch," Brianna says. I then feel my stomach turn and I jump out of bed. I run to the bathroom and puke my guts up.

"You wouldn't believe what I saw when I woke up," Brianna says, oblivious to me dying. I then gag, holding onto the toilet.

"When I woke up, I was in Sam's arms- ew dude that's gross," she said, just now noticing my dinner in the toilet.

I shake my head.

"So...so y-you and Sam?" I get out before I feel like all the wine is out of my system.

I look up at her and she spaced out with a disgusted look on her face. She shakes her head, returning to the real world.

"Yeah, oh my God! He had his arm around my waist and I don't know Alex! What did we even do last night," she said, looking a little worried.

"I doubt you did anything but make out, Bri."

She nods. "Maybe."

"Oh, and I saw you and Logan cuddled up this morning," she said smirking.

What the hell?
