[Like...People] It's My Birthday?

[MARGARITA JOSEPHINE RIVERA]

Georgia laughed as the person finished her hair, trying to avoid the curling iron before she reached for her drink. “ You know it’s a pretend party right?” Georgia put her hand over her assistants mouth as she finished what was in her cup. “ Pretend alcohol..” she said, shaking her head before she hopped away. Amber should be here soon, and the place was already pretty crowded of people that were coming over. The music video was supposed to be a fun house party type thing; so why not invite her closest friends to come over? Except Blake. She would not fit in the video…at all. Georgia grabbed herself another drink before tapping Joel on the shoulder and gesturing for a ride. After he rolled his eyes, he picked Georgia up easily, carrying her towards the set of stairs so she could be standing taller than everyone. “ Thank you South Africa,” she said, patting him on the head. “ Alright listen up bitches!” Georgia shouted out over everyone, raising her drink in the air. “ I love you all….very much. Thank you so much for coming out. Just forget about the cameras. It’s just a fun time. Okay? Okay. Thank you. Also.. everyone say hi to my boyfriend in the back. He might say ‘ello cause he is foreign and those fuckers are weird as hell. But I think he’s legally allowed here. ANYWAY…. Party on baby!” Georgia smiled as she stepped down the stairs, moving her way towards Cole before she wrapped her arms around his neck, “ It’s my birthday… Es mi cumpleanos.” she said, bouncing her shoulders. Georgia gave him a quick kiss before stepping away and wiggling her hips as music in general started.

[RYLAN NOAH LION]

Rylan ran his hand over his hair before he decided to finish what was left in his drink. He didn’t know a lot of people here, but enough that he didn’t feel out of place. He looked over his shoulder as he realized that Georgia was talking to everyone. When she referred to her boyfriend, something stung inside of him. Yeah.. he had an accent, too. But, no, let’s focus on Cole’s. Wait, Cole? Rylan narrowed his eyebrows as he watched her make her way over to him – and plant one on him. But was it another fake relationship like she’d had with Joel? He watched them tentatively, before he watched as Georgia was slightly distracted by the music. “ So you guys are dating?” he asked Cole, lifting one of his fingers away from his cup as he gestured towards Georgia. “ You two are a thing? Like a real thing? Not her and Joel thing?” he asked, realizing that the anger in his tone was probably more than socially acceptable. Rylan cleared his throat before giving a small nod and looking around. “ Sweet..well. That’s great. When you realize that she’s had relationships before to better her career and that she’s just using you.. don’t write a sad song about it,” Rylan said, shaking his head as he turned around to walk away from a majority of the party to go find himself another drink.

[PATRICK JARROD BROWN]

“ Oi mate…” Trick said beside Cole as he watched Georgia drunkenly moving around, making her little thank you speech and moving towards them. Trick couldn’t help but laugh, knowing that Cole was seemingly going to have to play babysitter tonight. “ No matter how famous you get, mate…” he said, slapping him on the side of the arm. He was about to leave but he hesitated, watching the way Rylan was speaking to Cole and lift his eyebrow. “ I’ll kick his arse,” Trick said seriously, as he watched Rylan walk away. “ I don’t care if he’s Lions’ son,” he continued, taking a drink of his beer. Trick looked around, trying to see who else was around here. Though it was sort of understandable. Blake was working on some song that he knew was about him, and every time he walked past her recording studio it made him want to punch a hole in the wall. “ I’m gonna go get us a drink, mate,” Trick said to Cole as he gave him a head nod and turned in the opposite direction to look for something to drink.

[CHARLOTTE JADE HODGINS]

Why…. Was she here? To watch Cole and Georgia maul each other? Cause that wasn’t fun for anyone. But just as expected, Georgia made her way over. And why shouldn’t they be happy if they liked each other. But that didn’t mean that Charlie was still a hundred percent okay with it. She took in a deep breath and sighed, looking around for her brother or someone she might be friends with. Charlie smiled though as she saw Blaze. What was he doing here? Charlie picked up the remained of her Malibu and slowly made her way over to Blaze. Normally, after being upset about Cole, she would instantly latch onto him and start making out. But he looked really nice tonight, handsome even. “ Who are you trying to impress?” she said jokingly as she gestured towards him. Charlie looked over her shoulder to watch Cole and Georgia again before looking down at her hands, biting roughly against her bottom lip. She could see now what Declan meant, the fact that you could tell pounds had fallen off of her already small frame. She traced her finger over her hip before she looked up at Blaze, and smiled just at the fact that he was smiling. “.... Do you wanna get a drink? Are you thirsty?” she asked, making a slight face at herself for even questioning. She never asked if she could get him a drink before any of the other time they hung out. But everyone else was drinking, and he had looked so nice.

[JOEL CARTER BROOKS]

Joel had just gotten back in from smoking a quick cigarette when Georgia had pretty much demanded that he be her physical chauffeur. “ I thought I was done being your boyfriend,” he said with a faux sigh as he picked her up. When she was done thanking everyone for coming out, Joel leaned back, cheering for her before he turned his attention back toward tonights main attraction: alcohol. He knew his sister might be coming, which meant that lovely little angel friend of his may be coming as well. But really, it didn’t matter either way, it was just fun to let loose with your friends once in a while. Joel smirked at Cole before Georgia made her way over, “ You know I kept her on a tighter leash when she was my girl… control your woman,” he said with a wink before he went to work on the music system for the party. They didn’t have to listen to her music for the entire night. They just needed to have a good time, and with this group of people he didn’t think it would be that hard of a time.

[DECLAN JAMES HODGINS]

Declan kept drinking from his water, which he was telling people was water. He hadn’t drank a lot of alcohol lately ; one it messed with his senses and ever since his training he hadn’t been down with that, and another, it just wasn’t the healthiest thing in the world to partake in. He tilt his head as he watched his younger sister talking to Blaze. Was that a flirty smile? “ What the hell,” he muttered to himself. So he had noticed everything else… but he hadn’t noticed that? Blaze was a little more difficult to read though. And he would have kept his eyes on them continuously if he hadn’t smelled Parker’s perfume. Declan turned to her as she approached before she could say hey. “ Did you know Charlie and Blaze were a thing?” he questioned her before offering her just a glass of regular pineapple juice. “ New or old?” he asked. It wasn’t a question of if they were together, it was more of how long it had been. Or how far involved they were.. He knew Blaze. Blaze didn’t do ‘relationships’.

[ASHER SCOTT KINGSTON]

Asher was busy away typing on his phone an email out to his boss as he stood amongst, what he may like to point out – a LOT of underage drinking, which he was trying to ignore. He puffed his cheeks out and ran his hand over his face. He was going to hate tomorrow. He hadn’t wanted to come to this. Joel was supposed to be on the road at like four tomorrow, with him in tow. But no no, Joel had been insistent that they ‘support Georgia’. Asher pinched the bridge of his nose. If Joel was drinking tonight, he needed to make sure he wasn’t. One of them had to get up in the morning and slap Joel awake. So instead, he stayed in the corner by production, drinking coffee as he pretty much waited for this night to just end.

[ROSELYN RAE DAVIS]

Rosie was doing her best to try and get Blaze to dance with her, from voguing , to robot, to basically just shaking in front of him. Nothing. “ You’re the worst best friend ever,” she said exhaustedly before she put her hands on her hips. She smiled as Dylan walked in, ‘ I have someone I want you to meet,” she said, patting him on the back quickly before she ran off towards the door. “ Hi,” Rosie said happily, gripping Dylans shirt in her hands as she pulled him towards her and planted a kiss on him. “ Hey, I want you to meet someone,” she said again, taking Dylans hand in her own. As she came back towards Blaze. “ Blaze, need me to be your wingwoman tonight? A total 10 walked in” she said, noticing that he was talking to someone. Someone…Charlie. “…Wingwoman in paying for the..ten pizzas that came in. Cause, I mean Blaze LOVES pizza…” she said as she stared at Charlie. “ I’m sorry, I’m not built for lying unless it’s to the public or my father. You’re clearly his hook up, that’s fine. Blaze.. this is Dylan. He beat you out in the bid for me at the banquet,” she said with a smile as she turned her attention back towards Dylan. “ Oh and this is Blaze.. he works on cars, drinks and is basically a manwh-“ she said, stopping to look at Charlie again, “ moth.. He is a mammoth. Who loves puppies, and reading by a fireplace while drinking an awesome scotch. ”

[BOBBIE JACQUELINE BRYAN]

“ Sure. Let’s just get invited to a music video where.. Half of One Direction is, with Georgia and Joel.. and.. “ she said, sort of star struck as she looked around. She gave a half smile, looking at Derek. How did they trick themselves in here? “ How long can we get away with this..” she said as she smiled slowly. “ I’m gonna go get us a drink,” she said, kissing his cheek. Bobbie walked through the crowded area. How were all of these people close friends? She thought that was all a myth; something that they said for their interviews. But here they were, all drinking with each other, hanging on to one another. She felt like she didn’t fit in. She mixed a few drinks for herself and Derek, not paying entirely too much attention to what all was going in them. It was crazy to think that they would be going on vacation soon – which meant no more waiting. And knowing that you weren’t going to have to wait much longer, made waiting longer even worse. That week before you turned sixteen, the year before you turned twenty-one..more torturous than anything. Bobbie came back carrying the red plastic cups and offered him one.

[COLE ANDREW ROGERS]

Cole stood in the back of the room smiling and just watching Georgia. She just seemed so happy and excited to be here right now. He was happy, they were public, no more hiding anything. So far everything was good. As far as he knew, Georgia wasn’t getting any hate about their relationship, but she could be really good at hiding it. Cole winked to her when Georgia mentioned him and just smiled to the few that turned to look at him. “It is, love.” he said as he looked down at her. Yeah, she was pretty drunk already. He would have to keep an eye on her all night, although he’d probably be just as drunk as her. “Happy birthday.” Cole kissed her back and then placed a quick slap on her butt as she moved away from him. He was one lucky SOB. Just then Rylan approached him and by his demeanor, Cole could tell it wasn’t going to be a very nice encounter. “Yea mate, we’re a real thing..” Poor kid, he was that jealous. Cole paid no mind to it and just shrugged it off when Trick said something about it. “I’m not worried mate. “ he slapped Trick’s back lightly, “A drink sounds smashing.” Cole brought his attention back to Georgia, his eyes following her every move. There was no controlling this Latina.

[BLAZE JOSEPH DEVITO]

Why was he here again? Oh that’s right, Joel invited him. Not that this didn’t seem liked it’d be a good time or anything, he just wanted to be back at home, relaxing on the couch. Too much to ask? His dad was out of town, once again. Blaze actually enjoyed not having his dad around most of the time. He could do whatever he wanted, when he wanted. Just as he was about to find Joel and get out of here, Charlie made her way over to him. “Ah, so it worked.” he said with a smile when Charlie asked who he was trying to impress. He watched her as she looked over at Cole and Georgia and then down to the ground, she still wasn’t over it. Why did girls hold on to things for so long and just hurt themselves? Blaze would never fully understand women, and he was okay with that. He smiled down at her again when she looked up at him, something about her was different… did she lose weight? It sure seemed like it. “I am pretty thirsty. I think this is the first time you’ve offered me a drink.” Here came Rosie. Blaze shook his head and just laughed when Rosie realized he was there with Charlie. “What’s up bro?” he said as he shook Dylan’s hand. “Ah..” Blaze said, “well I hope the date was worth it.” he said with a wink and he placed his arm around Charlie’s shoulder. “Yes that’s true, I can drink scotch like it’s water. Now if you’ll excuse us, we were just about to go get some drinks. Nice to meet you and Rosie, be good.” he said as he made his way into the kitchen with Charlie. “Are you going to drink that all night, or should we put some hair on your chest?”

[DEREK EDWARD PARKER]

Derek shrugged, looking around as well, “I think we get away with this for as long as… ever. We just so happen to know the right people,” he laughed. After she had gone to get drinks, Derek looked round at all the people, interested at the number of celebrities but also majorly interested in how they were filming this and how they had set up production. It looked like they had one camera focused dead center, down low, Derek trying to get a good look at the lens they were using. He noticed a group of crew people in the corner getting things ready to go. When Bobbie came back, he took the drink, thanking her with a kiss on the cheek, “This is an interesting way to shoot a video.” He paused a second, knowing it was more in his interests and figured it might bore her but wasn’t going to leave her by herself, “Do you mind if we go over by the crew? I just want to ask them a few things.” Derek approached them, asking a few small things, like what filters they were using and the lenses on the main rigs, and if they were going to fix the lighting on the right side of the room. Derek looked at the guy standing by the production crew, nodding at him, management maybe? “Hey, I’m Derek Parker,” he said, holding his hand out to shake his, “This is Bobbie,” he said gesturing to her.

[AMBER ROSE KINGSTON]

Amber made her way through the crowd of people by the front door with her sister trailing right behind her. She saw Georgia standing above everyone else and just shook her head, drunk already. She couldn’t even wait for Amber to join in. Before she could say anything to Olivia, she was already heading into the kitchen. “Uh okay then.” Amber said to herself as she made her way towards Georgia. It wasn’t like she had to worry about her sister getting too drunk or anything, Olivia didn’t drink or do drugs or anything like that. Miss goodie two shoes. Maybe she had some friends in the kitchen. As Amber tried to push through people, she noticed Asher standing away from everyone. Amber pushed her way through and practically jumped on him. “Hey babe!” she said as she kissed him. “You okay?”

[Deleted]

Parker smiled when Declan noticed she was coming over, but before she could say anything, he was questioning her about Blaze and Charlie. “I thought it was pretty obvious that day I joined y’all for pizza..” Parker said as she looked from Blaze and Charlie back to Declan. “It most likely won’t last. We know how Blaze is. You can kick his ass when it’s over and I’ll be there for Charlie.” Park still resented Blaze, but she said she’d tolerate him for Charlie. Blaze was scum, at least he was in Park’s eyes. Charlie had a little stardust in her eyes, she was blind to his way. Park hoped it’d be over soon though so Charlie wouldn’t get too invested in it and then get her heart broken. Parker took the cup from Declan and took a sip, “Thank you.” She took another sip and then looked up at him, “Where have you been?” It was like he had been avoiding her recently. At least that’s how she felt.

[MADISON CARA WRIGHT]

Madison closed the bathroom door behind her. With her cup in hand, she made her way through the crowd. “Jesus, fuck.” she said as people bumped into her. “Trying to bloody walk here.” Maddie took a sip from her cup as she continued to push through. There were way too many people here. The only reason she was even here was because Joel had mentioned it and Parker asked her to come. She and Parker had become pretty good friends over the last month or so and Maddie thought she was hot. Who didn’t? Speaking of, there she was, with some guy. Maddie just gave a quick wave and then continued pushing through the crowd. Where was Scarlet? No where to be seen, but Joel was. “Hey sexy.” she whispered as she came up behind him, “Have you seen your sister?” she asked, looking around again.
