Lilly's POV.

Finally we were back at Aria and it's finally time to chill out and I can finally get my mind off of my god damn problems! The walk back had a few laughs along the way and some was just silent.

We walked through the doors and made out way to the lounge room to finally relax but just before I got the chance to sit down I realised that I had to go put my stuff down somewhere. I piped up and asked Aria to show me where to place my stuff. She led me up to her bedroom so I could place my stuff somewhere. I looked in her mirror and decided I wanted to change into something, something more party looking to get into the mood.

"Hey, Aria. Everyone should get changed into something more party like to make it more of a party atmosphere." I piped up.

"Actually…" Aria mumbled, "That would actually be a pretty good idea! The challenge would be getting the other girls to wear my stuff." Aria giggled.

"Well, let's see!" I squealed happily.

"HAN! SPENCE! EM! GET YOUR ARSE'S UP HERE NOW!" Aria yelled out pretty loud also sounding like she was pissed which only made Aria and I go off our faces in laughter.

Once they got up they had the most worried looked on their faces, it only made Aria and I laugh even harder.

"What?" Spencer said, looking really confused with the other two girls.

"Nothing. We just had an idea." I said in between laughs, also taking a breath between words.

"What kind of idea?" Emily raised her brows.

"A good idea." Aria continued laughing just as hard as I was.

They all continued looking at us confused but when we had contained ourselves from the laughter I spoke, "We just wanted to make the atmosphere more party like so I wanted to dress up and Aria thought it was a good idea." I explained quickly.

Hanna rolled her eyes, Emily smiled at the idea and Spencer just nodded until she realised something. "We don't have any clothes apart from… Oh."

"Yeah." I nodded slowly hoping that Spencer would get my drift. Hanna and Emily still seemed like they had no idea what we were on about. I face palmed.

"We're going to wear Aria's stuff." I smiled with a sigh. "You guys in?" I gave them a big innocent smile, hoping it would convince them to do it. Emily smiled signifying that its okay with her, Spencer hadn't complained yet, so I took that as a yes and then all eyes were on Hanna.

"What?" Hanna spat sounding irritated.

"Are you going to or not, Hanna?" Emily questioned with a sigh.

"Fine." Hanna said bluntly and rolled her eyes.

We made our way over to Aria's and looked inside. The first thing that caught my eye was this really pretty dress that was slim on the top part that came out like my poofy skirt at the bottom, a triangle at the back of the dress was cut out and it had a bow at the back. The dress only went to my mid-thigh. I thought it was adorable so I immediately grabbed it out and went off to put it on. I had also chosen to grab a pair of black heeled boots. Once I had finished getting dressed I had tied my hair up in a messy fishtail braid and reapplied my makeup from earlier so it didn't look oh so messy but changed it up a bit. I made my smoky eye a lot more deeper, I was now wearing tangerine lipstick and had a bronze blush on.

When I came out I seen what dresses the other girls had chosen.

Hanna's look: A slim red dress that had long sleeves and also came down mid-thigh and has slits all down the sides of the sleeves and body. It complimented her thinness perfectly. She tied her hair up into a stylish, messy pony tail. She wore red heels to compliment the dress. She had a light smoky eye, bright red lipstick and bright, devil red lipstick on.

Spencer's: A cute floral playsuit. Enough said. It complimented her perfectly. She let her hair out, the careless kept look looked fabulous on her. She wore black wedges. Spencer had more of a natural makeup look on. She had a brown eye shadow, a nude lipstick and a slightly darker shade than her own blush.

Aria's: A cute vintage dress that went to knee length, it was slimming and purple. Let your imagination run wild. She tied her hair up in a neat, tight bun and wore silver heels to match. Aria had an intense purple eye shadow on that had a mixture of white into it, she also had a bright pink lipstick on with a pretty pink blush.

Emily's: A cute black blouse with a slimming red skirt that went to just above the knee. She curled her hair to compliment her face shape and wore black, typical heels to match with her blouse. Emily had a mixture of a pastel red, grey and white eye shadow on, a dark red lipstick on with a pale blush.

They all looked flawless.

Once that was done and we had all finished getting changed and ready plus awed at each other's looks, we made our way back down to the lounge and as soon as I was in an appropriate place I just plopped myself on the floor not really caring on the impact it would have on my body. Out of all honesty I was just overly keen to lay back and let my hair down. I was determined to make tonight a good night.

Of course Hanna had already started drinking before Aria and I had got the chance to make our way back down without the other two girls had no control, she honestly seemed a lot keener than me.

To be polite I walked over to the two big bottles of vodka, grabbed one, and then spread the cups around the coffee table, it fit at least 25 cups. I filled each of the cups half way with vodka and then grabbed the bottles of Coke and lemonade. I filled a third of them the rest of the way with lemonade, the next third with coke and just left the rest with straight vodka. That's when I noticed the shot glasses that Emily must have seen and brought out, so I picked them up, it was a packet of twenty five glasses and I filled them all up with the rest of the vodka left in the first bottle. Once they noticed what they had all done they had a massive grin on their faces. I went and grabbed my share of Woodstock and put them in the fridge so they wouldn't lose their coolness.

I heard Hanna yell out, "Shots! Shots! Shots!" As she quickly made her way over and gestured for the other girls to make their way over, obviously keen to begin the shots. The others rolled their eyes and made their way over as Hanna had gestured them to. Hanna's face looked as happy as a fat kid running through a candy store. It was actually extremely amusing. It was good to see her have a proper smile on her face.

We all sat equally around the round, glass table and we all gave each other a knowing look. But before we could start I immediately blurted out, "We need music!" So Aria quickly jumped up and made her way to the AUX cord that would play the music. Once she plugged it in I could hear 'Stay High' by 'Tove Lo' play. I love this song. The music only put me in more of a mood. Aria sat back down in her place and we all smiled at each other.

"3…" Hanna spoke.

"2…" Spencer said next.

"1…" Aria said.

"DRINK!" Emily and I said in unison.

Once this was said we all raced to see who could skull down all five shots the fastest. Did you want to know the results? Oh well. I'll tell you anyway.

Hanna sculled them all down first, and then myself, next was Spencer, then Aria and last but not least Emily.

I could feel the vodka going straight to my head, it was such as rush and I must admit that I didn't mind it at all. I hadn't drunk for a while and I really needed it.

After that we all grabbed whatever drink we wanted and of course I grabbed one of my Woodstock cans out of the fridge and went over to start dancing, I probably wouldn't have done this in front of the girls I had just met if I hadn't been drinking. But I practically tipsy so what the heck? We all began dancing to 'This Is How We Do' by 'Katy Perry'

After a while I had begun stumbling as I walked, as well as the other girls but that just made each one of us lose it, we were all laughing like we've never laughed before. We were still dancing like idiots.

We danced for a while longer until I noticed a young male attempting to sneak pass the lounge room door. Me, being the drunk self I was I yelled began stumbling over to investigate. "Excuse me! What do you think you are doing, Mr?" I spoke as I began to laugh.

"Lilly?" The male responded, sounding a bit shocked.

"How do you know me? Are you a predator?" I yelled out.

He covered my mouth attempting to shut me up. I tried pushing him away, but he just grabbed me by the waist and pulled me behind the wall next to the door of the lounge. I continued trying to push him away when I finally heard him speak once again.

"It's Mike. Remember me from earlier today?" He tried calming me down. I finally realized it was him. Mike Montgomery. I just looked at him wide eyed and a light shade of pink grew on my face. I then tapped his hand, signalling that I wanted him to move his hand away.

"What are you doing here? I knew it! You are dating Aria!" I admitted starting to get an angry look on my face as I screwed it up, blame it on the alcohol.

He just laughed at this which only made me go to slap him in the face; I almost made contact with his face when he put his arm in front of his face to stop me.

"What's so funny?" I pouted.

"You. You thinking that Aria and I were dating." He chuckled.

"Why else would you be here?" I pouted more, requesting an answer.

"Maybe because this is where I live?" He stopped chuckling and spoke in more of a matter-of-fact tone.

"Wow. You two must be more serious than I thought." I sighed, a disappointed look growing on my face.

"No!" He screwed his face up at what I had said.

"Then explain." I said bluntly with a confused look on my face.

"Aria is my sister." He said while looking directly into my eyes.

When I realised what he had said I put my face against his chest, attempting to hide my face. That was when I had realised that he still had his hand around my waist, which only made my face go redder. I felt his hand rest under my chin as he lifted my head up to look at him.

"Now do you understand?" He questioned making full eye contact.

All I could manage to do was nod as I stared into his blue eyes. They were so dreamy. We were getting VERY close to each other's face and then when I suddenly realised what was happening I quickly pulled back.

What was I thinking? I just made a group of friends and then I nearly kiss one of their brothers?

This chapter was longer than I usually write them, but I guess that's a good thing, right?

I have a couple of questions.

Do you want romance to come quicker in this story?

How would you feel about slight sexual content?

I have three potential pairings, I'm not sure if guys want to know or not?

Please let me know ASAP.

I left you guys with a bit of a cliff hanger. Sorry. It was intentional. ;)

There should be an update tomorrow!

Nara – Out!
