Chapter Twelve

Ivory Hoye~Harrington

I got changed, I put my hair into a high ponytail and I did eyeliner and mascara I put on a nude lipstick on.

I slipped on my boots and walked downstairs, I walked into the living room where Bryce hung up the banner saying happy birthday Carter and balloons surrounding it.

The doorbell rang. "The party doesn't start until seven."Bryce said.

Shit. It's Zoey. I turned around. "No Ivy. Let me get the door."Grayson said with a smirk on his face.

"No it's fine Grayson I'll get it."

Grayson pushed past me and went to the door, I quickly ran to the door but Grayson had the door opened and was talking to Zoey.

Oh fuck...

"Ivy, how come you never introduced us?"Grayson said in a cheeky tone.

"You know why."I muttered.

"Zoey please do come in."Grayson acting like a fucking gentlemen which he isn't. Don't get under his charm ladies.

Zoey walked into the house, she was wearing a floral white dress just up to her knees her blonde hair tucked to the side and she had eyeshadow on and lipstick.

Grayson brought her into the living room and told her to take a seat on the couch.

I sat next to her. "That's Bryce."I pointed at him as he helped Evan set up the speakers. "By him is Evan." Evan looked up and gave her a little wave.

Finn who had a cold pad on his forehead. "That's Finn."I pointed at him "He isn't doing too good today."

Carter ran in from the kitchen. He looked at Zoey "Who is she?"He mouthed to Grayson who sat on the armchair of the couch.

"This is my friend Zoey."I introduced her "This is Carter the birthday boy."

He gave Zoey a warm smile. "Happy birthday."Zoey said with a smile.

He nodded at her. "Where's the fit one?"Zoey whispered "The one I like."

She has a crush on Aiden even though she's never met him. She saw a photo of him and she says she fallen in love.

"He's coming."I whispered.

I introduced her to Douglas and Heath then Aiden came down.

Aiden looked at me with a weird smile and looked at Zoey and smiled at her.

"Zoey this is Aiden."I said. "The oldest and the stupidest."

Aiden gave me a playful glare and looked at Zoey. "Nice to meet you."

"Y-You t-too."Zoey stuttered.

"The speakers are hooked."Bryce said.

"Test it."Aiden said and Zoey's eyes were fixed on him.

Evan tapped something on his Mac and a Spanish song came on.

It was one of my favourites. I got up from the couch. "Who got my Spanish playlist out?"I said with a chuckle.

My mother's parents were Latino. I got into because of my grandma she loved Ricky Martin.

It was CNCO, Quisiera One of my favs.

I started to sing to it. I closed my eyes. I just got lost into the song. Aiden and everyone just looked at me and I didn't care. I honestly didn't care.

I opened my eyes when the song started to faded away, to see Cole stood by the doorway just looking at me. I smiled. " I haven't heard that one in ages."

"Well you sang it really good."Zack said with a smile.

"Proud or proud."Carter smiled. "You honestly did really well."

"Thanks."

-

It's been three hours and the party is still going on. The house got filled up pretty quick, which meant I could have sometime with Cole just us two.

But I couldn't find him.

The music boomed through the walls, my brothers were scattered around the house. Where as I was in the living room, by Evan and Zack by the music area.

Douglas walked over to us. "Carter wants to do a speech in a few."

Evan nodded. "Got it."

I saw Cole, he leaned against the closet door. He looked at me and gave me a smile. I smiled back.

"I'm coming back."I told Evan and Zack. "I'm going to the bathroom."

They both nodded. I pushed past so many drunken people who were grinding on people.

I made my way to Cole. He looked at and smiled. "Loved the singing."

But I couldn't hear him. "Huh?"

He opened the closet door and we both got in, he closed the door. "Loved the singing."He repeated himself.

"Thank you."My cheeks crept up to the colour red.

The music stopped and you could hear the groans coming from the other side of the door.

He wrapped his arms around my waist, his eyes stared into mine. He pressed his lips against mine ever so passionately.

"IVY!"Carter screamed my name.

"Maybe. You. Should. Go. To.Him."Cole said inbetween kisses.

"He'll. Give. Up."

He didn't. He kept on screaming my name. I pulled away "I think I should go."

He nodded. And let go of me. I opened the closer door and walked out with Cole behind me.

"W-What the fuck?"Carter said on the microphone.

Aiden glared at us. Cole took a hold of my hand behind me.

"Everyone, party is over!"Carter yelled into the mircophone. "Get out! Things have to end!"

Everyone disappeared out of the house, I heard the front door shut and all my brothers gathered around in the living room just staring at us.

"How long has this been happening?"Aiden asked as his arms folded against his chest.

A lump formed on my throat. "Two months."I replied.

"Two months?"Bryce said in anger tone. "You've been hiding this from us for two months?"

"Oh my fucking gosh."Finn said as e paced around the room. "Two fucking months? To think I thought you changed Cole!"

"People like him never change."Carter said.

"You have no right to judge him."I said "Have you guys took a look at yourself lately?"

"Missy, you shouldn't even say anything when you don't even know the whole story."Douglas said "Has even he told you what he does?"

Olive walked in with Zoey, Zoey looked at me with wide eyes. "What are you doing Ivy?"

Evan got up from his place. "I should end this when I found that note."He muttered.

"What note?"Heath asked.

"I don't know. But I found a note in her Spanish book it was signed Cole."Evan answered. Evan looked at me "End this Ivy."

"No."

He looked at Cole. "If you really like her you will end this."

Cole looked at him. "No. I won't. Because when you are in love with someone you keep them you don't lose them."

Grayson just looked at us. "We should let them be."Grayson surprised me. "Cole said he's done with the shit and I believe him. They actually do suit."

"Thank you."I mouthed to Grayson.

"You've been with him?"Zoey said gobsmacked "And you didn't even tell me?"

"Look Zoey it wasn't-"She cut me off.

"I'm leaving."She left with Olive behind her.

"If you are going to be with him then you can't be here."Aiden said.

"Fine then I won't."

"No. She isn't going to go anywhere."Heath said "She made a mistake but she isn't going anywhere."

"I'm going."

I turned to Cole and he nodded at me "Get your things together I'll be in the car waiting for you."

I kissed his cheek and he went out the door and I went upstairs. I packed all my clothes and all the things I needed.

I grabbed them and went out of the house and didn't even say goodbye.

Cole put my things in the trunk and he drove to his place.

He opened the door and it was ever so nice and beautiful. Maghonay flooring. Open plan kitchen the living room had Versace black wallpaper on one side of the living room and painted white on the other three walls. He had black sofas and a massive tv.

"You like it?"Cole asked

I nodded "I really do."

We walked into the bedroom, the walls were painted a light blue and a plasma TV on the wall a massive kingsize bed a Chester drawer just under the tv. Light blue carpet which was so comfortable.

Cole put my bags into the closet as I took a seat on the bed it was so comfortable.

Cole walked in. "You okay?"

I let out a yawn "Yeah just tired."
