October 31st, 2003 ...

14 year old Brendan Hume aimed the camera at the sleeping girl while his mom, Helen, lit the cake candles "Hurry up" he whispered, his mom gave him a playfull glare before going back to the candles "I still think her being born on Halloween is a sign of something" Brendan said smiling, Nick Hume rolled his eyes at his son and his wife finally lit all the candles "Okay it's time to wake her up" Helen exclaimed excitedly,

10 year old Lucas jumped onto his big sisters bed and started jumping "Wake up, wake up!" he shouted, the girl stirred for a moment before opening her bright blue eyes and groaning "Get lost" she mumbled into the pillow, Brendan pulled back his little sisters quilt and she shivered "C'mon Tiana, your 13 now your a teenager and you have presents" he said lightly punching her arm,

Tiana jumped up and giggled "Presents" she exclaimed, Helen held the cake in front of her daughter while smiling "Make a wish" she said, Tiana closed her eyes before blowing out the candles "Now can I get my presents?" she asked hopefully, Nick kissed his daughters forehead and chuckled "Of course" he said, she jumped out of the bed and let Lucas pull her by the hand, Brendan and the others followed Tia downstairs with the camera making sure to catch Tiana's 13th birthday on camera "Here open mine first"

Brendan said handing Tia a small square shaped present wrapped in baby blue wrapping paper, Tiana tore into the present and lifted the lid, she pulled out the silver heart shaped locket with a black leather string "I love it" she squeeled, she handed it to her mom who helped her put it on, Tiana held up her waist length blonde hair while her mom put on the necklace, once she was done Tiana let her hair fall back and she inspected the locket

"Look inside" Brendan instructed, Tiana opened the locket to find a photo of them all from when she was 12 "It's one of a kind, I saved up all my money" Brendan said, he handed the camera to Lucas and hugged his little sister tight "Thank you I love it" she exclaimed, he smiled "Happy Birthday sis" he said kissing her cheek, she smiled and hugged him tighter.

4 Years Later, 2007...

"Tia...Tia" Sammy exclaimed waving a hand in front of the 17 year olds face, she shook her head out of the memory and faced him "Sorry, minor flashback" she said apologetically, he nodded and cleaned out one of the glasses "Boys are waitin'"

he said motioning to the very occupied table in the back, Tia groaned and approached them "What can I get yah?" she asked slightly annoyed, even though she was friends with them didn't mean they made her job any easier "Depends on what yah got baby" Heco replied, they all laughed and Tia smirked while rolling her eyes "Well I got beer, whiskey and if you keep hittin' on me I got a bottle full of acid with your name on it...Baby"

she said putting her hands on the table and leaning forward, Heco looked embarassed and the boys laughed harder "The usual Tia" Bodie said being the first to stop laughing, Tia nodded and walked back to the bar "7 beers" she told Sammy, he nodded and got to making them "Make that 9" a familiar voice exclaimed, Tia turned her head to see Billy Darley walk in with his little brother Joey,

both boys sat down with the others and started talking while Tia waited for her drinks "Here yah go Ti" Sammy said after pouring all the glasses, Tia placed them on the round tray and carried them over to the boys, she had no trouble with the weight of all the glasses as she had been working at the bar for 2 years "Your drinks" she said laying the tray down on the table,

the boys took a glass each and Tia picked up the tray when they were done "Hey Tia how about some shots" Billy said, Tia nodded and leaned to the side "Special occasion or are you boys lookin' for a hangover?" she asked knowingly, he chuckled and shrugged "Joe's big day, it's his initiating night" he announced, all the guys cheered and Joe looked over the moon but nervous at the same time, Tia knew exactly what initiation night meant but she knew better than' to complain and whine about how cruel it was

"Big night then, you excited Joe?" she asked looking at the youngest of the gang, he nodded "Yeah, can't wait" he replied smiling, she nodded and stood up straight "I'll get your shots" she said heading back the bar "Hey Tia wait, c'mere a sec" Billy called, she gave him a skeptic look but stood next to the table anyways "What?" she asked inpatiently "What you doin' later on?" he asked, she clicked her tongue and smirked "Not you Darley" she said before going to the bar,

Tia could hear the boys laughing and she smiled to herself "They givin' you a hard time Tia?" Sammy asked as he filled the shot glasses, she shrugged and nodded "Yeah but what else is new?" she asked bending over to lean on the bar, as Sammy placed the shots on the bar counter Tia placed them on her tray

"There yah go" he said, she nodded and walked back over to the boys "Can I get you anything else?" she asked holding the tray to her chest, Heco opened his mouth but she cut him off "Acid bottle Heco, just remember that" she said, he nodded and closed his mouth deciding agains't the comment

"I have a request" Joe said, she nodded and he smirked slightly "You join us for the drinks" he said motioning to the half empty beer glasses and whiskey shots on the table, Tia rolled her eyes again "You know I'm workin' right?" she asked though she was tempted to take a brake from her full day job "C'mon Sammy won't mind" Billy said staring at her bare legs, Tia's shorts reached her upper thigh but she didn't care how much attention she recieved from the men in the bar, if anything she loved it,

Tia turned around with her back to the boys and she knew they were staring at her ass "Hey Sammy" she called, the bartender faced her with raised eyebrows "Puedo tomar un descanso?" she asked, she had learn't to take Spanish at a young age and was fluent in the Language "Sólo porque se trabaja duro" he replied, Tia smiled and turned back to the guys, the immediatly lifted their gaze to her face not wanting to get caught in their actions "I can spare a few minutes" she said, they cheered and she giggled

"So where am I sittin'?" she asked knowing that one of them if not all would give up their seat for her "Right here sweetheart" Billy said tapping his thighs, Tia glanced at each boy before her eyes fell on Joe "It's his big night, so I guess it's his lucky day" she said planting herself on Joe's lap, he smiled and put his arms around her waist while hers went around his neck loosely "Fine but just this once" Billy muttered from opposite them, Tia chuckled and threw back one of the shots.
