[Open] We Can't Stop

[JOEL CARTER BROOKS]

Joel passed a drink over to Blaze , basically passing cups down a line until everyone had one. He gave a small smirk in Blaze’s direction. They both had all the money in the world that they could really want, and here they were drinking out of red solo cups. “ You grab the music, man?” he called out before he gave Blaze a pat on the shoulder and moved through the crowd. He lift his hand up to quickly twist his baseball cap around backwards before standing up on the table. “ Yo, everyone… shut the hell up,” he said, before giving a lopesided smirk. “ Nah, nah.. In all seriousness. Thank you guys for coming out and celebrating. Georgia and I love having you at our place. Baby come over here,” he said, trying to find Georgia in the crowd before he spotted her – giving a smirk, wink and head nod for her to come over. “ We are here to celebrate Cole and the rest of his band signing over to Lions Records. It’s gonna be a journey, bro,” he said, lifting his cup in Cole’s direction as a cheers towards him. “ Alright let’s get fucked up. Where’s Parker at.. Girl let’s see you twerk,” he said as he hopped off of the table, smiling down at Georgia as he brought his hand into the side of her hair and leaned down to kiss her. Hell they may be pretending, but living together wasn’t bad considering he was such good friends with her. And he was a teenage boy.. what teenage boy would ever turn down hooking up with a hot girl? No matter what the circumstances were. Joel smiled as he pulled away from her, wrapping his arm around her lower waist before he yelled back over the crowd. “ Yo, Blaze turn that shit up!” he called out as loudly as possible.

[SCARLET JASMINE BROOKS]

Scarlet pushed some of her hair away from her face as she looked around her brother and Georgia’s home. It was still strange to her that he was in a serious relationship and she wasn’t since she was the older sibling. But all good things came in time. She smiled as he stood on a table, knowing how much their mother would cringe. As he spoke about Cole joining the label, Scarlet looked over her shoulder and clapped her hands along as people cheered for him. Well it seemed like reason enough to have a party. He seemed like such a sweet kid and she was sure that him and Joel would end up being great friends. Scarlet waited until Joel stopped talking, leaning down to kiss his girlfriend before she moved towards Cole. She offered him a smile before introducing herself. “It’s nice to meet you, I’m Scarlet. Joel’s older sister..” she offered as a smile. Some people in her position might expand on what she did for a career – but Victoria Secret model hailed in comparison to One Direction member. “ I know Joel is very excited to have you coming to the label,” she said with a slight bounce of her shoulders before placing her hands on his shoulders and leaning over to kiss his cheek. “ Good luck, darling” she said with a wink, not that he needed it. Scarlet placed her clutch underneath her arm as she made her way to the kitchen to try and find herself a drink.

[ROSELYN RAE DAVIS]

Rosie looked in the bathroom mirror, smiling to herself as she remembered about a half hour prior. Her father was holding a banquet, and she had attended all night, behaved, smiled for cameras. The second Blaze’s motorcycle was outside she had ran out, holding her heels in one hand and climbed on the back. After stealing his hat and a pair of his boots, she’d come to the bathroom at Joel’s house and had pulled on a sparkly cardigan with the rest of the stuff she had stolen from Blaze. She could be comfortable for the next couple of hours and she could care less if she matched or not. When she came back out she could hear Joel talking about Cole and welcoming him to the label. Out of all of the accomplishments One Direction had, she doubted highly that switching labels was one of great excitement. But she figured it was nice to throw a welcoming party at least. “ Blaze!” she called out happily as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders from behind him. “ Is that mine?” she questioned as she looked down in the cup he had and took it from him quickly to steal a sip. “ Okay, “ she said, placing on a serious expression as she placed her elbow on Blaze’s shoulder and began to scan the crowd. “ Who’s your target tonight? I’m there with the assist,” she offered before finishing what was left in Blaze's cup.

[CHARLOTTE JADE HODGINS]

Charlie looked around at everyone drinking and made a slightly judgmental face. Not because they were drinking in general – fuck that. All those unnecessary calories, it made her cringe. She placed her hands on her hips, thinking back to rehearsal that afternoon and the fact that she had difficult making herself sick afterwards. Maybe she could find time when she got home. If not she would just obsess about it until it happened again. The entire time she had been here so far she had wished she had packed something else to wear. Because since she wasn’t able to finish, she just felt fat and like she was a whale, or the fat version of Britney Spears when no one wanted her, trying to get through the crowd. All she wanted was to talk to Cole. And in his benefit, he never ever made her feel out of place when they were at events – particularly when they were geared towards him. It was just that usually he had to work, but tonight was about fun. And she still couldn’t get to him through the crowd. Best friend in the entire world, can’t reach him. Only guy she could see herself loving, and couldn’t admit it to him either. “ Co-“ she started to shout but sighed as Roselyn approached him. But she could see it, his eyes on Georgia. And just like that their conversation came back to her. He had a crush on her, and it had taken everything inside of her to light up and smile and tell him how great that was. Even though it confused her.. because there she was, kissing Joel Brooks the same way she had daydreamt about kissing Cole. She looked over her shoulder, doing her best to find someone – mainly Amber or Parker. Nope. “ Blaze.” she said , approaching him with her hands on her hips. “ Get me drunk,” she said almost pathetically as she brought her hands up to bring her hair over to one side of her shoulders.

[DECLAN JAMES HODGINS]

Declan slightly winced, holding a cold beer to the side of his face as people were going around in groups talking and basically being annoying party goers that he didn’t like dealing with. He watched Charlie go through a series of about ten different emotions before he watched her walk away and towards Blaze. That Cole kid….he liked that kid. Smart, kind, always respected Charlie. More kids needed to be like Cole. But she was making her way towards Blaze. Not that he was a bad guy, he was just… Blaze. And she was wearing…that. Declan made a face of being annoyed but cringed instantly at how it made his eye hurt. “ Why does she dress like that,” he muttered in annoyance as he looked over at Parker. “If you’re going to be a ballerina… be prim and proper. That’s the image you should put out,” he said, with the frustration evident in his tone. He took the beer down from his face, trying to remember whether or not Parker drank. To the best of his knowledge she didn’t. “ You want to come to the kitchen and see if we can find some apple juice or something?” he offered. “ I need to get some quiet,.. pull up my last fight on youtube and text it to Blaze,” he said, semi jokingly as he made his way towards the kitchen.

[ASHER SCOTT KINGSTON]

Being home after being gone on tour for so long was like a breath of fresh air. He finally got to be back with his fiancé, he could sleep in his own bed, he knew where the Taco Bell was located at, at all times instead of having to ask everyone in each new city that they went to. And he knew Joel was glad to be back home for a while, too. Asher at the moment was standing behind Amber with his arms draped over her shoulders so that his hands were lazily joined in front of her. He knew she had a lot of stress going on in her life – from school, to planning the wedding. It was a lot. But he was back in town and he wanted to do anything he could to help out with it. Even if it meant forcing her to take her mind off of all of the stress and relax. “ Hey, so I was thinking.. since I’m back,” he said, resting his chin on the side of her shoulder. “ Why don’t we grab a suite for the weekend? We can get massages, order in room service..chocolate covered strawberries. We can just stay in bed, all weekend, watching black and white movies and just….relax. For the little amount of time that we have to do so,” he said before kissing the back of her shoulder blade and standing back up correctly.

[KENNEDI LYNN FOSTER]

Kennedi looked around at all of the kids in the building ; either artists at the label, or friends of artists at the label. She smiled as she saw Cole and made her way over to him after Scarlet had left. “ Yeah?” she questioned, gesturing to her shirt before she smiled and shook her head. “ I lost a bet to Joel, so I have to wear this in public at least five times,” she said, giving a slight roll of her eyes. “ But.. now that we’ve met. I’m Kennedi.. “ she said, offering her hand out to shake is. “Is there a reason you have your eyes on Joel’s girlfriend?” she said with a playful smile and a lift of her eyebrows. “ I won’t tell anyone…” she said, giving him a wink before she moved past him and made her way into the kitchen where she found Blake, who was trying to clean up the messes that people were making as they came in and out. “ Sweetie, I think it’s just best to wait until the damage is done to try and pick up everything….. and it’s not your house,” she said with a slightly confused expression as she watched Blake continuing to clean.

[RYLAN NOAH LION]

Rylan watched Georgia across the room, not realizing how sharp his features must have looked with his eyebrows narrowed and his eyes pinned on every move she made. And there it was, a kiss from Joel. Rylan looked down at the ground. Sure, it wasn’t common knowledge that him and Georgia had been together for two years, and that she had broken up with him. While he thought that she would be just as upset as he was; here she was working on a new image. He knew from his father that the Joel thing was an act, but it still hurt that she was trying out this ‘sexier’ image. Dated him, did Disney. Broke up with him.. sexier. So what was it, was he not sexy enough for her or something? Did he bore her? He realized that he hadn’t breathing when he felt the sharp pain in his chest and looked down at his beer, chugging it down quickly before he went to find himself something harder to mix, more liquor than beer could provide him. Once he came into the kitchen he saw Blake cleaning away, and Parker coming in with some guy who looked familiar but he couldn’t place him. Parker had been around Blake’s studio enough that she was pretty familiar with anyone and everyone at the label. He gave her a quick wave, still not finding himself able to get into a party mood before he grabbed the bottle of Jack Daniels and tried to slink away to find some privacy.

[BLAKE EMMA PARKER]

Blake glared at a couple of people as they just dropped their red solo cups on the counters and walked away. So rude… a guest in someone elses’ home and just trashing it. She picked the trash bag she had in her hand back up and went back to cleaning, looking up as Kennedi made a comment. “ I really don’t think much cleaning goes on in this house to begin with. “ she muttered under her breath before she stood up straight, noticing that Parker had come in. With Declan. “ Really?” she mouthed towards her best friend before giving her a thumbs up before Declan could turn back around and see what she was doing. “ Are you Blake Parker?” she heard someone say before looking over to see what had to be the most intoxicated person she had ever seen in her entire life. “ Oh my gosh,” she said, covering her mouth slightly so she didn’t inhale how much they reeked of alcohol. But before she could respond they had leaned over and hurled into the what was now empty trash can since Blake had taken the bag out of it. “ Oh…” Blake said, casting a glance at Parker before she looked at the trash can again. Clean anything in the world… just not that. Blake scrunched her nose, putting the back in the trashcan to cover it up, and scoot the trash back in the pantry with her foot before shutting it. “ I no longer care if someone leaves out a solo cup,” she said before taking one for herself and starting to look through the alcohol for a bottle of wine of some sort.

[MARGARITA JOSEPHINE RIVERA]

Georgia rolled her eyes with a smile after Joel pulled away from the kiss. Always. He always did that. It made her half want to slap him, half want to hug him. But just as quickly as he had gotten down and kissed her, it seemed like everyone went into party mode. He had whispered down into her ear, “ Do me a favor, go talk to Cole. He looks thirsty, and he wants to talk to you about something” he said. Georgia narrowed her eyebrows in confusion before walking away. “ Oookay..” she said slowly, making her way towards the kitchen to make a couple of drinks. She made herself something called a panty dropper and then looked at what was on the counter. What the hell did british boys want…. She made a pained expression before she grabbed a bunch of different alcohol and started pouring it into the cup. He was foreign. She could make up a name and have no idea. She topped it off with just a dash of coke before picking up the cup and making her way out to the crowd. She spotted him as Kennedi was walking away and approached him. “ Mr.Popular tonight,” she said with a bright smile before offering him the cup. “ It’s a um.. it’s a.. American Bullshit,” she said, clicking her tongue slightly before placing her now free hand on her hip. “ So…” she looked at him expectantly, lifting her eyebrow before she smiled slowly. “ Joel said you wanted to talk to me. Is that… not true? What’s up?” she questioned as she watched him.

[BLAZE JOSEPH DEVITO]

Blaze continued to pass cups down the line until there weren't anymore hands reaching out. "Yeah man," he said to Joel as he headed towards the stereo and turned the music down right as Joel began to quiet everyone down. He took a sip of his drink and justlaughed to himself at all the girls oogling Cole and Joel. Pathetic. Blaze smiled to a girl in the corner eyeing him. Joel yelled for him to turn the music back up and that's exactly what he did. It was time to party. As he made his way back into the kitchen, he heard Rosie's voice and then felt her arms on him, "Uh, it wasn't." he said with a small laugh when Rosie stole his cup. Who was the target tonight? Hmm. His eyes began scanning the crobut stopped when he heard his name being called out. Blaze looked over to Rosie with a smirk, "That's her." Charlie came over to him, ordering him to get her drunk. This girl was making it way too easy. Blaze put his arm around the girl's shoulders and began walking to the liquor table. "So what'll it be?" he asked as he grabbed her a cup. "Something fruity or are you going to surprise me and want Scotch on the rocks or something?" he asked with that all too famous Blake Devito smile. "You look great tonight, ny the way. Not that it's any different from any other day though."

[COLE ANDREW ROGERS]

Cole tossed his water bottle in the trashcan. God he was pathetic. He was twenty-one. He could legally drink in the United States...so why did he have a damn water? As he attempted to make his way past all the gawking eyes. Joel stood up on a table and started talking, all eyes were now on him, well except a few pairs. Cole just smiled at them and brought his attention to Joel. The drink could wait. When Joel said they were here to celebrate Cole and One Direction, Cole looked around the room for Patrick, he surely would have something to say about Cole being the only one mentioned. "Thanks mate. Cheers." he said with a smile to everyone as they clapped and cheered. He could tell by a few of the screams that people were already feeling pretty damn good. A few people had walked up to him, welcomeing him and shaking his hand, When he thought it was over, a very beautiful blonde approached him. He didn't have to be from America to know who she was, Scarlet Brooks. A Victoria's Secret angel. "Pleasure to meet you." he said, returning the smile. "I'm looking forward to working with everyone. Shoud be fun." Cole gave her a small nod as she said her goodbyes and he watched her walk about for a few moments before he tried to find an opening. There was no way he was making it to the drinks now, might as well just hang out. Cole searched the room for Trick, or Zayn, but his eyes found Georgia instead. She was absolutely cracking. His attention was brought to another girl standing infront of him right awat though. Cole smiled to Kennedi and let out a small laugh. "It's a nice shirt. Shame you had to lose a bet to wear it though." Cole's eyes looked over to Georgia and then back to Kennedit, didn't she know the truth? After sending a text to Trick, Cole looked up to see Georgia walking towards him. "Yeah, I guess so." he said with a laugh,. He took a sip of his drink and made a face, "Any fizzy..uh..pop in here?" it sure didn't taste like it. Whatever, it was good. Oh, so Joel sent her over to him. He'd have to thank him later. "Well yeah. I mean I want to chat with everyone at the label. I like to get to know everyone on a personal level. What was that you were working on when Joel and I walked in the other day?" he asked before he took another sip.

[PATRICK JARROD BROWN]

“ Are you fucking bloody kidding me…” Trick muttered under his breath as he watched the spectacle in front of him. “ Ah, sure.. Cute face. Trust-worthy smile. Wholesome good looks and boy next door personality. I suppose the label IS pretty pleased to have snagged you,” Trick said, patting Cole a little too lovingly on the cheek with a bit of a harder smack on the last tap. [b[ “ Oi, I’m at the bloody damn label, too, mates.”[/b] he said with a cheeky smile before lifting his cup. Not that any of it really mattered, because to him it really didn’t. It was about making music with his best mates. He would follow them anywhere and everywhere. And quite frankly, he was much more proud of their success than he was his own. Even if it was all the same. He scrunched his nose as he watched Joel plant a kiss on Georgia, looking over at Cole. “Maybe you should just publicly mount her. Really piss around that territory, yeah?” he said, before noticing that a leggy blonde was making her way over. Trick did a quick whistle towards Cole, gesturing towards Scarlet as he walked backwards, making a motion for Cole to sleep with her before he turned on his heel and made his way towards the kitchen. Blake standing in there with her friend Parker. Oh yeah.. that Parker girl. Trick threw a quick wink in her direction. “ So why are you and your friend Charlotte not on the dance floor? I do believe that is a sight we all deserve to see,” he said devilishy before grinning at her and leaning against the countertop.

[CHARLOTTE JADE HODGINS]

Charlie brought her hand to her hair, clingingher fingertips around it tightly as she looked over her shoulder. There it was. She felt a punch in her chest as Georgia made her way over to Cole, so easily shattering her world without even batting an eyelash. “ Huh?” Charlie said, finally noticing that Blaze had his arm over her shoulders and was asking her about drinks. Fruity or strong. With one last look over her shoulder at Cole she looked back at Blaze and offered a tight smile. “ Tequila. Shots. Yeah?” she asked before giving him a nod. Charlie took in a deep breath, bringing her hair over to one shoulder. What did girls usually do when they were upset? Act out. Amanda Bynes must be really upset. Charlie scrunched her nose, downing her shot and Blaze’s before he had a chance to and clapped her hands together. “ This is boring, let’s do body shots,” she said. Maybe she couldn’t have Cole’s attention.. but she was going to do whatever the hell she had to, to get someone’s. Cole didn’t look at her the way she wanted him to, but someone could. For the night. Even if that was all it was. It would make the sting of seeing Cole in the morning less painful. Charlie reached behind her back, undoing the back clasp of it before she started to take it off and stepped out of her heels before pushing some of the liquor out of the way and sat up on the counter. “ Body shots are self explanatory, right?” she questioned Blaze before putting a lime in her mouth and laying back.

[MARGARITA JOSEPHINE RIVERA]

“ Any what?” Georgia said with a bemused smile as she tilt her head to the side. What was fizzy pop. If she didn’t know what it was, chances were that it wasn’t in the cup. But it seemed to move on from it quickly. Thank God, she didn’t have to make herself look like an idiot. She brought her hand to the side of his arm, laughing as he said that he wanted to talk to everyone at the label. “ I’m pretty sure you can do that any day of the week. You don’t have to waste a party night on it,” she said, shaking her head at him lightly. What a goofball. He could talk to any girl in this room and he wanted to talk to people he worked with….. about their work? But that didn’t stop the surprised and happy expression that came across her face as he asked about her music. Not many people asked about what she was “working on”, they just asked about her new “image”. She didn’t think it was all that different. She was just trying to grow up. “ Well, my daddy is a dentist. So I’m trying not to push the boundaries too far. But when you come in the other day I was working on this song called ‘Come and Get It’” she said, before making a dramatic ‘uh oh’ expression. She was pretty sure her dad was going to have a heart attack when he heard the song, let alone saw the video. “ There’s lots of hip movement with it,” she said playfully, lifting her cup in the air as she lazily shook her hips. “ So are you and Joel buddies now? I mean, I’ll be seeing you at our place more often? He’s great right? “ she said while nodding. She was never sure who knew and who didn’t, who to pretend around and who she shouldn’t. But Cole.. he really was cute. And she sort of was just noticing it for the first time. Maybe it was the American Bullshit. Georgia looked down at the cup in his hand before smiling back up at him. “ So what are you going to be releasing soon? Something inspired by the lady in your life?” she asked with a slight lift of her eyebrow as she smiled at him. “ Are you gonna make her come and get it,” she said, giving a quiet laugh before feeling a slight blush to her cheeks and looking down.
