"Babe, just back off," Sebastian whispers in her ear, loud enough for all of us to hear.

Nathan has his arm around my waist, ready to pull me back if anything happens. Tessa shoves through the crowd with a few of her friends behind her and a couple of boys.

"What is going on? Someone yelled fight and I ran over," Tessa tells us, slightly out of breath. She leans forward and takes an annoyingly loud deep breath before looking back at us.

"Yeah, it was like watching a sniffer dog search for drugs," a cute boy snickers looking at Tessa.

She shoves him hard and watches him bump into a group of juniors who start yelling at him for being an idiot. "Piss off, Drew," she rolls her eyes.

"Drew? I'm Charlotte," I reach out my hand to shake his with a smile on my face. He shakes my hand with a smile and ends up bro hugging Nathan.

"Is now really the time to be doing introductions?" Tessa asks sarcastically as she gestures back to Olivia and Penelope's stare-off.

"Calm down, Tess, they're not even doing anything," Drew laughs, looking back at us.

"I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain this to you, so just fuck off," Olivia snaps back at Penelope and we all turn our attention back to the two of them.

Penelope rolls her eyes, and they land on Tessa who raises an eyebrow in response. "Aren't you the bitch that slashed Summer's tires?"

"What's it to you?" Tessa asks, crossing her arms, stepping up next to Olivia. Drew's eyes widen as he watches Tessa stand up to Penelope. "Someone give me a drink," Tessa orders softly and holds out her hand and Lilly puts her drink in Tessa's outstretched hand hesitantly, wondering if she should feel guilty about giving a fourteen-year-old an alcoholic drink, but Tessa doesn't drink it.

"Of course, you're related to this family," she scoffs in disgust looking at each Hayes sibling, sans Sophie, since she's not here and she's also the only good one out of all of us.

"This family?" Tessa mimics, heated. Olivia grabs her shoulder before she can launch herself at Penelope.

"Okay, no. I don't care if you talk shit about Olivia, but as soon as you come after my siblings its game over for you," Harry moves from behind her and stands next to Sebastian.

As Harry was moving he accidentally bumps into Tessa and she uses the opportunity and fakes a trip spilling the drink all over Penelope's front and she lets out a dramatic and loud "Oh no!" "You might want to go wash that off, it's a little sticky," she grins.

"I fucking love you," Olivia laughs and hugs Tessa to her tightly.

"You're just as bad as the rest of them," Penelope looks over at Harry with a scowl.

"Damn right I am, now disappear," he tells her, shooing her away. She doesn't bother saying anything and moves through the crowd, disappearing from our sight.

Olivia looks up at Sebastian and he leans his forehead on hers and whispers to her softly. She rolls her eyes but still smiles up at him and nods her head lightly. He leans forward and kisses her softly wrapping her up tightly in his arms.

"Your family is insane," Drew looks over at Tessa, "Now I know where you get it from," he chuckles when she smacks his arm.

"Drew, that's short for Andrew, right?" I ask, smiling at him, bringing everyone's attention to him.

"Yeah, but I only get called Andrew when I'm in trouble," he laughs smiling at me.

"Are you a freshman with Tessa?" Nathan asks, lacing his fingers with mine.

"No, I'm a sophomore," he smiles casually, putting his hands in his pockets.

Sebastian looks over at us with narrowed eyes and pulls Olivia closer to the group we've formed in the middle of the dancing crowd. Oh great, the overprotective brother. Sophie walks up to us with a smile on her face and Aidan's hand on her waist. "What did I miss? I just saw Penelope stomp through the house," she whispers, looking at all of us standing in a circle.

"Sophomore? Then how did you meet Tessa?" Sebastian asks suspiciously. Harry moves to stand next to Sebastian, folding his arms, subtly. Tessa stares at Sebastian doing the 'cutting throat' motion trying to get him to stop talking but Sebastian ignores her and looks at Drew.

If Drew was intimidated by my brothers, he doesn't show it, giving them an easygoing smile, "I met her at her hockey practices, I usually sit on the bleachers with some guys," he gestures to the rest of their friends, dancing a few feet away.

Sophie's head perks up and she looks over at Tessa, "Is that why you've been late to the car the last couple of weeks?" Tessa's eye twitches as she subtly looks over at Drew to see his reaction but Sebastian is already talking.

"So, you sit and watch girls playing hockey? That's a little weird," Sebastian replies, staring him down.

"Sebastian lay off, like you didn't watch the cheerleaders when you were a freshman," Courtney rolls her eyes.

"Hey, that's different, I was forced to sit there while Sophie was there," he looks back at Courtney and glares at her.

"Yeah, that's why," Quinn smirks, covering up a chuckle. Olivia cackles loudly.

"Well I didn't intentionally sit there to watch them," Drew laughs loudly, shrugging his shoulders and pushing his messy hair off his forehead. Tessa is staring deadly at Sebastian, silently telling him to knock it off but he ignores her again and carries on.

"Let me ask you one thing, Drew. Do you do martial arts or anything like that?" He asks seriously, as everyone looks at him in confusion but I just grin and think back to the conversation we had at the New Year's Party.

"Um, I'm a more of a kickboxer but I'm also a black belt in karate. How did you know?" He asks with a confused smile.

"Fucking knew it. I told you," Sebastian looks over at me and I laugh in response.

Tessa says something quietly to Drew and he nods his head in agreement and bids us farewell, making his way back into the crowd to find their friends.

Tessa whirls around and punches Sebastian in the arm, "He's just a friend, Bass," she hisses at him.

He leans down to look her in the eye, "Sure he is, that's how it all starts as 'just friends'," he scolds her. "He's a kickboxer, Tessy, it's fate."

"What the fuck are you even talking about?" She asks in complete confusion.

"Just go hang out with your boyfriend," Sebastian smirks speaking loudly but then stops himself, "But not too much fun," he adds pointedly.

Her cheeks redden, "You are ridiculous!" she glares at every one around her for not helping out.

"We're just looking out for you, T," I tell her reaching out to hug her tightly.

"Our baby sister is growing up," Sophie fake sobs and joins our hug, leading Sebastian to join in too yelling 'Sibling group hug!', pulling Harry into the hug, who groans and mumbles about how much he hates this.

"I will kill every last one of you," Tessa threatens, shoving us away from her.

"He's cute, Tess, good job," Olivia winks at her. Sebastian turns around and looks at her bewildered.

"He's fifteen, Olivia Grace," Sebastian informs her with narrowed eyes, throwing his arms in the air.

"What is your point, Sebastian Hayes? I didn't say I wanted to fuck him, I just said he was cute," Olivia shrugs, meeting his gaze head-on.

Sebastian gapes at her, "Who said anything about fucking him?"

Olivia raises her eyes to the sky and mumbles, "God, give me strength."

"I am not staying for this," Tessa says, moving out of our circle and away from the crowd. Harry nods his head in agreement and makes his way over to the DJ stand where his friend is.

Nathan leans closer to my ear and whispers, "Should we stop them?" We both look over at the arguing couple and I shake my head.

"Nope, I don't want to get involved," I laugh leaning my head on his chest as he sways us to the music.

Cole appears out of nowhere and slaps hands with Aidan as he passes him. What? He sees me and smiles brightly walking over, "Sorry to interrupt this romantic moment kids, but the guys wanted to play some Rounder's further down the backyard, is that cool?" He asks me.

"Yeah, as long you don't anybody in the head, unless they're our enemies," I tell him with a grin.

"Deal," he laughs and walks over to Sebastian and Olivia who are still bickering, and Cole literally picks up Olivia and turns around so that she's facing away from Sebastian; and he puts her down so that he can update Sebastian on the game.

"Cole Fisher, you little bitch!" Olivia yells at his back, jabbing him in his side.

"Nate, you wanna play?" Sebastian looks over at Nathan, who looks down at me and I nod my head with a grin.

"Wanna finish that game we started all those months ago?" He smirks as he speaks.

"Aren't you scared I'll kick your ass?" I ask tauntingly as I lean away from him, already heading over to Sebastian.

"Come at me," he raises his hands outwards, laughing.

"Cole, I'm in," I inform him as I walk over to Sebastian and Cole. Cole grins and raises his hand, declaring himself on my team already.

"Are you really doing this right now? It's a party," Courtney tells us, shaking her head.

"I wanna play too," Olivia says making us all look at her.

"Babe, you can't play baseball," Sebastian laughs which only seems to make her mad.

"Bring it the fuck on then," she stares up at him, taking off her hoops and handing them blindly to Quinn.

"I'll play too," a cocky voice comes from the sidelines and my eyes widen as I step closer to Nathan, who grips my hand tightly.

"Who the fuck invited you?" Olivia asks, forgetting Sebastian, and stepping up to the party crasher.

"Hey Liv, I just heard there was a party, you know I never miss a good party," he smirks down at her. She narrows her eyes as some of her friends step up behind him with easygoing smiles.

"I can feel my IQ dropping just looking at all of you," Olivia mutters to his friends.

"Leave, Chase," I tell him, keeping my facial expression neutral.

"One game, Char, just for fun," he smiles at me and I can feel Nathan's hand wrap around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"Fine, one game," Nathan voice is blank of emotion as he stares down Chase.

Well, fuck.
