A/N: THE CHAPTER IS TITLED AFTER THE SONG "LIFE OF THE PARTY" BY ALL TIME LOW. IT JUST FELT RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED-TALK. 

It's weird. Going from a secret agency with secrets and evil people with guns, to suddenly being surrounded by drunk idiots in college. 

The second I walked in, Jack and Alex were making out on the floor, completely ignoring the conversation between Brendon, Justin, and Nick. 

"Hey look, Kelly's here!" Brendon announces. Nick and Justin look up. Alex pulls away from Jack. Jack wraps one arm loosely around Alex. 

"Sorry, I'm late. I had an essay to do." 

Brendon laughs. "Yeah right. I bet you were with Vic!"

I roll my eyes and sit next to Justin. "Guys, c'mon. Stop bullying little Kelly," he says, hooking his arm over my shoulders. 

Alex leans his head on Jack's shoulder. He smiles at me. "Kellin, we're planning on going to a bar tonight, do you want to invite Vic?" 

I shrug. "Sure, I'll ask," I pull out my phone a send a quick text. 

"Nick, what did you just say?" 

I look up and see Justin glaring at Nick. No again...

"I can't," Nick shakes his head. "Not again." 

Jack looks up. "Don't worry about that, Nick, we'll all be there and-"

"Well I felt safe with Justin, and you could see what happened." Nick snaps. "Do you know what happened?" He raises his voice. 

Justin sits up, retracting his arm. "Nick, calm down." 

Nick stops and stares at Justin. "How are you so chill about this?" He mumbles. "You lost-"

"Yeah," Justin snaps. "I lost my fucking hand. All my secret dreams about being in a band and playing bass? Down the drain. But do you see me whining about it?" 

Nick goes pale. "I- I'm sorry." 

"Why? It isn't your fault that my hand was chopped off." 

That's when guilt fills my entire body. I look down and fiddle with my fingers. 

"I'll go if you do," Nick says, staring at Justin. 

Justin nods. "I'm going." 

"Then that settles it," Nick answers. 

"Alright, so is everyone going?" Jack asks. Everyone the circle nods. Jack smiles. "Good." Alex grins and buries his face into Jack's chest. I glance at Tyler who smirks. Jack wraps both arms around Alex. 

Justin leans over and close to my ear. "They're so cute," he whispers. 

~~~

Walking into a bar is like a completely different atmosphere. It smells of alcohol, sweat, and the hint of sex. It always has the low sounds of talking, and it feels... Free. Almost like you could act like a shit-bag, and no one would give a fuck. 

"Everyone, this is Vic," I say the second Vic walks through the door. I grab his hand and bring him closer to the group, to our booth. 

"Vic, huh?" Nick narrows his eyes at him. "You look familiar." 

"We met, briefly, at the bar a while back," Vic explains. "I helped you bring him to your car," he gestures at Brendon. 

"Sounds about right," Brendon shrugs. 

"Let's get some drinks all up in here," Jack cheers. Alex smiles at the younger boy and grabs his hand. 

Vic and I sit down. He rests his hand on my thigh from under the table. I glance at him, and he winks at me. 

Winks. He fu- winked at me. 

Alex smirks at me. "So, Vic, what's it like, dating Kellin, I mean?" 

I feel my face burn. 

Vic laughs. "Well, he's kind of stubborn, but other than that, he's..." Vic turns to me and smiles. 

"Oh, get a room!" Alex rolls his eyes. Just then, Jack walks back with drinks. He gives everyone their drink before sitting next to Alex. He smiles at Alex before kissing him. 

"Now who needs to get a room?" I mumble. Alex glares at me. 

"Jack?" 

Everyone turns and stares at one guy, rather large and muscular- oh shit. 

That's when it hits me, and everyone else, I guess. 

Jack grips Alex's hand. "What do you want, Zack?" 

"Why haven't you returned any of my calls, and why-"

"Let's take this outside," Vic suggests, eyeing someone from across the bar. I give him a look and he nods. 

We walk outside, Alex wrapping an arm around Jack protectively as he glares at Zack. 

Vic grabs my hand. He steps forward, only slightly, so that he's in front of me. 

"I thought I made it perfectly clear," Alex starts. "Jack doesn't want to be with you." 

"Why? It isn't like you're better than I am. He just pities you," Zack spits. 

"You fucking beat Jack," Alex fumes. "You-" Jack holds Alex away, stopping him from punching Zack. 

"No. There's no proof," Zack answers calmly. 

"HE HAS BRUISES ON HIS SKIN BECAUSE OF YOU." Alex screams. 

"Not because he gets beat," Zack smirks. "Because he likes it rough." 

My eyes widen and Justin gives me a shocked look. 

Alex rips himself away from Jack and swings at Zack. Vic turns his head and gives me a look. 

Zack stumbles back, looking at Alex in confusion. "HEY GUYS," He shouts. 

I turn and a group of four guys walk over. 

Vic stares at them. 

"Oh, you want to start a fight?" Alex growls. "Fine." 

He swings at Zack. 

The other guys rush forward at us, everyone takes an opponent, but Vic doesn't move. He just studies them. 

One guy grabs me by the shirt and Vic rushes over, immediately punching the guy, knocking him out instantly. 

"Shit, Vic. You scare me sometimes," I mumble. He turns and gives me a smile. A guy runs up to him and he knees the guy in the stomach and flips him onto the ground. 

I turn and stare at Alex and Zack, who are fist fighting, and I hate to say that Alex is losing. Miserably. 

Jack rushes over and helps Alex, but of course, Zack is a fucking bodybuilder or some shit like that. 

"Vic!" I shout. He looks up and punches some guy in the jaw, he stumbles backward and hits the ground. 

Vic runs over to Zack and pins him up against a wall. He punches Zack once and I hear a loud groan. I smile as Vic knocks Zack out and throws him to the ground. 

"EVERYONE FREEZE." 

I look up and see one guy holding a gun to Tyler's head. 

"Ty-" I try to shout but it comes out as a whisper. Vic glances at me, slowly reaching behind his back for his gun. 

The man looks terrified though. He slowly backs himself against a wall. He switches the gun from Tyler's head to us. 

That's when Vic fires. 

The man screams and drops the gun. Tyler runs towards Brendon. 

Vic puts his gun away and walks up to the man. He kicks him once, and the man doesn't respond. 

Vic walks over to me. "He isn't dead," he starts. He pulls out his phone and walks to a more isolated area. 

"What the shit just happened?" Jack asks, holding Alex against himself. Alex groans and buries his face into Jack's shoulder. 

"I think we just beat the shit out of-"

"No, with Vic," Jack interrupts me. "Why did he have a gun." 

"He must have pulled it off another guy," I answer, trying to sound as honest as possible. 

Vic walks back over. "I called an ambulance, it's alright, no one's in trouble," he starts. He gives me a look, and leans in closer, speaking into my ear. "Kellin, we have to go." 

I nod and turn to everyone. "Well, this was fun. But I'm beat," I fake a yawn. 

"Aww, Kelly and Vic want to get some sexy time?" Brendon mocks. 

I groan and roll my eyes. "Shut the fuck up, Bren." 

He shrugs and smirks at us. 

"Alright, well, I'm going to go too. We should do this again sometime," Nick jokes. At least he isn't overreacting about this.

Everyone lets out a laugh as we separate. I turn and see Alex limping, leaning against Jack. 

I hope he's okay.

Vic wraps one arm around my waist as we walk to his car. 

"Vic, what happened back there?" 

"The guy I shot?" Vic lets out a sigh. "He works for the other side." 

"He what?" 

"Yeah, I called my people, they're going to get him and interrogate him. However, I didn't recognize Zack or anyone else." 

"Okay," I purse my lips. 

"Hey, are you okay?" He rests his hand on my thigh. I look up at him and nod. He smiles and leans in, planting a soft kiss on my lips. 

A/N

I'm in a really bad headspace. Basically read "The Death of Me" in my one-shot collection called "Forever" that's basically how I'm feeling. 

Oh but Some Kind of Disaster is AMAZING. All Time Low is officially BACK!

Okay, I hope you aren't bored of the story yet, because some stuff is happening soon- but if you are, that's okay.
