Chapter1 Party like Rock Stars
Tonight was the night Imogen had been both waiting for and dreading it was the night she was going to celebrate her engagement to the love of her life Fiona Coyne, the two had been going strong for almost a year and they both couldn't be happier. Fiona got into the Fashion Institute and landed a sweet deal with a high end designer to sell her dresses she would also be consulting with a designer in New York an opportunity which landed Fiona a hefty paycheck while Imogen had landed a job as an interior design coordinator once she graduated a job she would have taken in heart beat if she didn't have to repeat her senior year, luckily for her Fiona was able to use her family influence to convince the design company to hold a spot for Imogen once she graduated.
Fiona and Imogen were setup to live the good life together but Imogen would have to hold up her end of the deal to make that happen which she was determined to do.
Imogen dreaded this night because it would be the last night she and Fiona would spend together under the same roof since Fiona would be leaving for New York the following afternoon and going to live in palace on Manhattans east side.
As for Imogen she wouldn't be alone in the loft she had two very trust worthy and caring roommates none other than Drew and Bianca Torres the two had been married a few months and since they were newlyweds and Fiona wanted to help them out she decided to let them live in the loft with Imogen both to help them save money and to watch over Imogen while she was in New York.
Laura had agreed to the arrangement under the condition that loft was to be maintained by the four of them a condition that was easy to agree to seeing as Drew was working at his dads law firm in the sports management division as a paid intern and Bianca had a job at a dance studio owned by a wealthy choreographer.
Tonight's engagement party was going to be an epic night indeed, Fiona pulled out all the stops for this party as far as catering she had chefs flying in from New York flown in especially for this party she wanted it to be perfect what no one else knew was that Fiona had also planned to surprise some people at the party with news that would change the lives of some people she cared about very much.
"Imogen are you almost ready everyone will be here soon."
"Fiona relax I'm just finishing my makeup I'll be out in a sec." Imogen called from the washroom.
"Fine I'm going to double check with security please be ready when I finish my call."
"Done Fi don't worry."
Fiona went into the living room to make the call.
Just as Fiona was wrapping up her call Bianca and Drew walked in Drew was dressed in a red button down shirt with a white tie and black slacks while Bianca was wearing a back evening gown with matching heels.
"Good you two made it did you see anyone coming up?"
"Yeah Adam Clare Alli Dallas Jenna and Maya are all coming up Owen said he's ten minutes away he had to pick up Anya at the airport." Drew replied.
"Alright before they get up here I wanted to remind you guys about tomorrow."
"Fiona for the millionth time we will watch your fiancée like a hawk while you're gone don't worry." Bianca said trying to reassure Fiona.
"I mean it if anything happens to my Immy I'm holding both of you personally responsible."
"Fiona nothing will happen to Imogen we promise now can you tell us what that phone call was last night?"
"You'll find out during the party like everyone else Drew."
"Come on Fiona it's just us here."
"Drew drop it and wait."
"Fine Fiona I'll drop it."
"Good now if we're done here I'm ready to start letting people in."
"Fiona baby I'm done." Imogen said as she walked out revealing her midnight blue gown with white heels.
"What do you think?"
"Imogen you look amazing babe."
"Thanks baby but I don't compare to you miss billion dollar princess."
"Aw Immy we've been over this just because I'm headed to New York doesn't mean I'm leaving you behind I love you we are in this together."
"You mean while you're over in New York with all those socialite beautiful people you'll still be thinking about me?"
"Immy you're going to be my wife I love you with all my heart." Fiona replied as she planted a tender kiss on Imogen.
"Now if you two are done doing your kiss and make up routine let's start letting people up." Drew remarked leading to a head slap from Bianca.
"Ouch Bianca what was that for?"
"For being a killjoy you would be emotional too if I went away."
"You're right I'm sorry guys."
"No big Drew now if you don't mind start leading people up."
"On it Fiona."
Drew went down to start letting people up he noticed Owen Anya Clare Adam Jenna Maya Alli and Dallas.
"Hey guys thanks for coming Fiona's upstairs let's go."
"Drew are we getting hammered here?"
"Dallas you should know it's a dry party."
"Dam you were serious I wanted to see if I had a shot at three way tonight."
"Dallas what the hell it's bad enough you've been lusting for an engaged woman for weeks but you're doing it with me next to you."
"Relax Alli it's not like you give it up anyway."
"You know what Dallas fuck you after tonight we're done."
"Fine with me frees me up to chase girls who'll give it up."
The group made their inside the loft seeing the loft decorated in a festive manor.
"Hey guys thanks for coming." Fiona said ushering in her guests as they walked in started to mingle.
"Thanks for inviting us Fiona congrats on the engagement."
"No problem Adam thanks and congrats on Clare you two look amazing together."
"Honestly I feel like Clare is the best thing that could have happen to me."
"At least you're happy you deserve it."
"Thanks Fiona it sucks you're not getting married until June."
"It does but the way I see it separation is just going to make the day sweeter".
By the way after dinner I have an announcement I think you'll like." Fiona said slyly as she walked to go mingle with her other guests.
Meanwhile Imogen was on the other side of the room Clare Imogen and Jenna sat on the couches drinking punch.
"So Imogen how are you handling Fiona going away?"
"It's hard but I'll mange especially hanging around with the song bird duo over here." Imogen said referring Maya and Jenna who were currently oblivious to the world since they were stuck in a heated make out session.
"Good luck those two are attached at the hip."
"I know I'm still trying to figure out how those two ended up together."
"I thought you knew Imogen?"
"Nope after school ended I was all Fiona by the way sorry about that."
"Don't worry I get it you and Fiona are an epic romance you deserve each other."
Thanks so how about filling me in on Degrassi's newest version of instant romance. '
"Well remember that tour of Canada Adam Jenna and Maya went on at the beginning of the summer?"
"Yeah what about it?"
"Well Maya and Miles split just before that, to this day Maya hasn't said why but we all knew it was because of Miles throwing a party getting super drunk and cheating with some random so she went on the trip to get away from it all and Jenna had split from Connor because he met someone new at a seminar a few weeks before school ended so they parted on good terms and went their separate ways, next thing I knew when they got back I caught them making out in the back of Adam's car and rest is history."
"Wow sounds sweet listen I'm going to check on fiancée."
"I'll go find my boyfriend I'll see you when we get to eat."
"Alright Imogen later."
Imogen left to go check on Fiona who was busy talking to Bianca and Drew.
"Miss me babe." Imogen said as she abducted Fiona's lips.
"This is sweet give it to her Imogen." Dallas howled from across the room coming towards the sitting foursome.
"Dallas come on show some respect don't be an ass." Bianca said reprimanding the jock.
"I'm just supporting a friend B chill although we all know a goddess like my darling Imogen here is only with Fiona because she's never ridden the D train before I'd show her a good time and make her drop Fiona and walk down the aisle with someone who could give it to her good every night."
Fiona was enraged by the comment and decided to put Dallas in his place.
"Listen you ass clown that's my fiancée you're talking about now apologize to her and get the hell out of here."
"Bitch I'm Mike Dallas you don't tell me what to do we both know if Imogen spent one night with me she'd remember it forever after all you can't satisfy her right I 'd have her doing things you couldn't imagine."
Fiona couldn't take the disrespect any longer.
"Dallas I mean it get the hell out of here!"
"Fine I'll leave but not before I do this."
Dallas pushed passed Fiona and abducted Imogen's lips in a violent kiss.
"Mark my words I will make Imogen mine if it's the last thing I do!" Dallas yelled as he walked out of the party with everyone in total shock.
Imogen just cried Fiona's arms.
"Imogen baby don't worry he's gone he won't hurt you come on I'll put you to bed so you can forget about him."
No I won't let that asshole ruin our night I just need to relax I'm going outside for a bit."
"Okay but I'm sending security if you're not back in ten."
"I'm good babe I just need a need a minute I'll be back quick."
"Okay go ahead but take your phone it's in our room."
"Fine I'll get it."
Imogen left the loft a few moments later while the party continued on.
Outside Imogen try pull herself together she couldn't help but think about Dallas' threat to make her his, part of her brushed it off but part of her worried that he might actually follow through with his threat and try to harm her but she decided she needed to put it out of her mind for the night and just focus on Fiona after all after tonight they would be apart and she didn't want Fiona to worry about her and focus New York.
Once she went back inside she found Fiona who was gathering people around the table in the dining room.
"Immy baby glad you're okay now I can make my big announcement before we eat."
Imogen joined Fiona at the head of the table as she prepared to make her announcement Imogen couldn't help but notice three long jewelry boxes on the table but decided to see what Fiona had planned.
"Well before we eat I have a big announcement that will change three people's lives like they never thought possible Adam Jenna Maya please join me."
The trio joined Imogen and Fiona at the head of the table.
"I know the three of you went on a mini tour over the summer and played a few shows well you'll be happy to know at your show in Ontario someone very important caught your show and decided he just had to have you that person was none other than my uncle James Coyne the head of Royal Dragon entertainment and he's decided to sign you each to a deal Adam he wants you to produce Maya and Jenna he wants you as artists but there is a catch he doesn't have final say."
The trio was stunned they were going to be stars they couldn't speak they just wanted to know the catch which Fiona decided to give them.
"I can see you three are desperate to find out the catch so here it is your deal actually is an all exclusive deal that means you guys can also sign as a trio produce and preform your own music but your boss won't be my uncle that honor falls to the new owner of the company me so you guys sign these deals you'll be getting paid by my uncle but you work with me what do you say?"
The trio nodded to each other before Adam spoke.
"Fiona you've got a deal."
"Great so to make this official I have something for you guys."
Fiona opened the three jewelry boxes revealing three silver chains with a silver ace of spades shaped pendent on it.
"Welcome to the Royal Dragon family."
Fiona presented the trio their chains and the table erupted in congratulations.
The rest of the dinner was spent with everyone eating and enjoying conversation.
At the end of night everyone but Fiona Imogen Adam Bianca Drew and Clare stayed behind to clean up.
"Now that the night is over I want to remind all of you in this room since I'm leaving tomorrow to watch over Imogen when school starts up especially with Dallas' actions tonight"
"Don't worry Fiona Imogen will safe with us." Adam declared.
"Thanks Adam if anything I can be here in no time flat."
"Fiona baby focus on you I'll be fine I promise." Imogen said placing a soft kiss on Imogen's forehead.
"Well guys I should get Clare home it's late."
"Alright Adam drive safe."
After Adam and Clare left the remaining couples retired to their bedrooms for the night.
"Immy baby did you enjoy our party?"
"Of course I did babe I mean aside from the little incident I had a nice time by the way that was a shock you pulled with Adam."
"I'm sorry I kept it from you but I had too I swear from today on no more secrets my charming future wife it's you and me against world."
Imogen snuggled into her lovers arms feeling safe not knowing that her second go around at Degrassi was going to be one hell of a ride but for tonight she felt like a rock star.
I hope you guys are ready for a wild ride because I have quite a few twists and turns in store. Next update will be up ASAP starting the first day of school and Imogen finding out a shocking secret that will change not only her life but the life of a certain guest at the party as well as a little more insight in Clare and Adam's relationship.
