Next Day.

The day of the party

Ivory Hoye-Harrington

"Did you hear about the party your brother is throwing tonight?"Zoey asked as she leaned her back against the locker next to me. "I want to go."

The stupid fucking party which I have to go to. Ruin my date which I was going tonight.

"Yeah why don't you come?"I replied as I put my Maths book back in my locker. "It'll be fun."

I looked at my locker, a textbook was missing which one was it? I closed my locker door. Zoey looked at me "Are you sure?"

I nodded. "Yeah. It'll do us some good to have some fun."

"Are you sure your bro-"

I cut her off. "It's fine. Carts said to invite our friends."

"What time should I come by?"Zoey asked as she bit her lip. "Should I ring the doorbell or walk in?"

"Come at six."I replied with a smile. "Just ring the doorbell and I'll answer."

She nodded. We hugged then she pulled away from the hug. "I'll see you at six."She said and then went. I zipped my bag closed and walked out of the building.

I walked to the car park and to see that same girl who was with Cole by Grayson and talking to him. I walked to the car.

"Gray?"I spoke breaking the conversation between them.

That same girl looked up and saw me she gave me another sympathic smile. Gray let out a sigh and looked up "Yes Ivy?"

"Shouldn't we get going?"I asked as i looked at him."Before Carter gets home."

He nodded and looked at the girl. "I'll see you tonight? With Cole?"

She nodded "Yeah you will."

"I'll see you Olive."Gray said. I rolled my eyes and walked to the car door I opened the door and sat inside.

Gray went to the driver seat and started up the car. "Where's Finn?"

"He didn't come."Grayson replied as he resvered out of the car park. "He didn't feel too good."

"Oh."

"You going to Zoey's tonight?"Grayson asked as he looked at me through the rear view mirror.

"No. Aiden said it would be okay if I wanted to go to the party."I replied. "Now you believe she's real?"

He let out a chuckle and took a turn. After twenty minutes we were home. I opened my door and got out of the car, I walked up the path and up to the door.

The door was already opened I walked in to see Finn laid on the cold floor of the hallway his arms and his legs stretched out.

"Finn?"

He let out a grumble. I kneeled down to him I pressed my hand against his forehead. "You've got a fever."

" I took two aspirins. Don't worry I'll be fine for tonight."Finn said. "I'll be fine."

"Then why are you on the cold fold may I ask?"

"It's cold and it help my temperate to go down."Finn said in a duh tone.

Gray walked in a few minutes later, he looked at Finn and let out a laugh. "Mate, You aren't going to be able to pull tonight."

Finn gave him a glare, I got up and went upstairs into my room. I opened my door and put my bag on my chair.

I walked into my closet and just looked for what I could wear tonight. Maybe something nice.I pulled out a pair of black jeans, a black vest which covered my burn scar on my chest and a checkered flannel. Black boots for shoes.

"IVY!"Bryce yelled my name.

For fuck sake, I could never have a moment alone in this house at all. I walked out of my room and walked downstairs.

Everyone was in the kitchen, I walked into the kitchen and all my brothers were there.

Aiden stood by Carter helping him fill these red plastic cups with liquor. Bryce drinking his coffee. Finn and Gray sat at the breakfast bar with Heath. Doug and Evan sorting out the music at the booth.

"Yeah? What do you need me for?"

"Rules."Aiden said in a strict tone. "Which goes for everyone."

Gray let out a groan. "No one is going to laid tonight."Groans from here and there." Bedrooms are off limits for anything. The pool shall not have any kind of shit in it because I'll make you clean it. The bathrooms better not be a mess. And no fucking drugs to be use and Ivy you can't drink."

The groans stopped when I was mentioned. I looked at him and just nodded at him. "Also no talking to boys."Aiden added.

"What the hell? I can't even a talk a guy?"

All my idiotic brothers nodded to that not even Evan defended me on that. "Like what? Who I'm supposed to talk to?"

Carter shrugged his shoulders. "Youse are so unfair! I can't drink I understand that chiz but not talk to a guy?"

"Sis. Chill these are rules you have to obey."Gray said.

"If I can't talk to a guy, all of you can't talk to a girl."I said as I put my hands on my hip. "That's fair."

"That is not fair!"Heath groaned. "I was going to invite m-"he stopped himself in mid sensetance.

"Okay..Aiden maybe you have gone a little to far with the rules."Carter started to say.

"That is so unfair!"Gray yelled. "If I want to talk to a girl I can."

"If I want to talk a guy I can."I yelled as I put my hands in the air.

"I think it's fair."Doug said. "If she can't talk to a guy then we shouldn't talk to a girl."

"Not helping Doug!"Grayson said in anger tone.

"Fine!"Aiden slammed his hands in the counter. "You can talk to guys and girls but not allowed to things with them."

"Fine."Me and Gray said in sync.

I got up from my seat and looked st my brothers. "I'm going to get changed."

And I went upstairs.

Aiden's P.O.V

I let out a sigh as I walked out of the building, Did I honestly say yes for Carter to have his party?

They are my brothers and I want them to have the best time of their lives then I had.

I'm twenty-five and the only proper birthday party I had when I was seventeen at the lake house. Grandad was telling me to go for it where as Yiyha screaming at me in Greek saying if I did anything bad to any girl that she'll chop me up and feed me to the dogs.

I let out a soft chuckle to that memory as I click unlock on my keys, I opened the door to my car and sat inside my car. I closed the door and put my key in the engine.

I started to drive, my phone started to ring I stopped at red light and picked it up.

"Bro, I need you to pick me up at Walmart."Carter spoke

"Yeah okay I'm on way."I spoke over the phone. "I'll be there in ten."

"I'll be waiting in the car park."

"See ya."

I hung up the call and put my phone on the seat next to me. I started to drive again.

After ten minutes I was in Walmart car park, Carter was in his Billionaire boy club White tshirt and black jeans. He opened the backseat and put all the bags in there. He closed that door and came to the front seat.

"Happy birthday."I said as I drove out of the car park.

"Thanks."

He looked upset. "Hey, what's up?"

"I'm having second thoughts about this party."Carter confessed. "Man I would of been so happy with a dinner. "

"It's fine Carter, you only turn 23 once."

"I honestly if someone told me fourteen years ago that I would never see my parents again I wouldn't believe them."Carter said "But I honestly want them here." His eyes brimmed with tears.

"I get that. But honestly Carts we are better without them."

"I know we are. The hell we will ever forgive they did to Ivy but they were our parents."

I nodded and just kept my mouth shut. Let's just get this party done and give him a good 23rd.
