𖤐 — PARTY HOUSE, MALIBU CALI

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH!" aspen yelled as she threw her arms around clover. the party was packed to the brim. so many people filled the space around her as she stood on the island

"happy birthday to you!" aspen began singing, holding up a bottle of hypnotic. the light blue liquid glowed slightly in the hue of the neon lights. chris and matt stood behind the island, cautious of the drunk girls who were on the furniture

however the people around them began singing at the top of their lungs to the now birthday girl.

"happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to clover
happy birthday to you!"

the girl covered her mouth with her hand, shocked that all of these people came to see her. amber, rowen, nick, larry, matt, chris, carrington, josh, tara, gabi- probably everyone she ever cared about was there. "give us a speech clo!" jake yelled over the crowd

she laughed as the dj paused the music, grabbing the bottle of hypnotic. a smile plastered on her face as she looked down at chris, who couldn't take his eyes off her no matter how hard he tried.

whether it be because of her short skirt or her beauty he didn't care. he was down ridiculously bad for her.

"okay! okay!" clover yelled, looking back at the sea of people who now surrounded her "holy shit! i'm twenty two! i would say that's old but some of you guys are like twenty six so i wouldn't want to offend yall!" she laughed out

the crowd laughed and some even playfully booed at her comment "but! have fun! get fucked up! it's aries season bitch! so you better get fucked up. it's a lucky day for the luckiest bitch alive!" she turned and reached out to chris for his band

he hesitated before grabbing on, and pulling himself onto the island. clover wrapped her arm around his neck, kissing him in front of everyone. claiming. marking. letting people know.

popping out with him. he smiled into her lips before she pulled away, pointing at the dj as a sign to play the music once again. aspen grabbed the bottle back and grabbed matt's hand as she jumped off the island

"wow, you really popped out, huh?" chris asked clover as he helped her down off the island herself. she shrugged, wrapping her arms around his neck once again, swaying her hips side to side to the rhythm of the music

"i told you i was" she giggled, kissing his jaw, she didn't care anymore. his hands planted themselves on her hips as she still hummed along to the music, lifting her arms up and closing her eyes. her head tilted back slightly as she freely moved. "god, you are something, clover" he complimented

"and what is that something, chris?" she giggled out, looking at him "i would say mine but that's corny, huh"

"yeah, but it's okay when you do it" she laughed and kissed him again before taking another shot of hypnotic

it was her birthday after all. you have to get fucked up on your birthday.

chris and her walked around, him trailing behind her with his hand interlocked with hers. she smiled and would dance and greet, drink and smoke. all while hosting and looking just as good as she did when she first got ready

"i'm gonna go to the bathroom!" she yelled over the music, pecking his lips before she stumbled her way down the hallway, making it past familiar faces.

she stood in the bathroom, collecting her thoughts for a second and gathering herself. clover took a deep breath in, before opening the door to amber, rowens friend of a long time. "happy birthday!" amber smiled, giving her a side hug "oh my gosh, i'm surprised you made it!" clover laughed

"bitch, one of your parties? i wouldn't miss it for anything" amber laughed before her face calmed into a serious one "but.. i do have something to ask you" clover nodded her head at the girl "what's up?" she asked, an unaware, innocent smile planted on her face

"did you steal chris from rowen?" it was like a rock had been thrown at glass. clovers eyes widened as she turned her head "what are you talking about?" she laughed out nervously

"yeah, i mean.. they were something december to like new years. he told her he didn't want a relationship and they literally fucked like twice" she explained. although, clover just saw stars. "when?" she asked "uhh they fucked on new years at that party, and then at joshs party a couple weeks ago"

she was dumbfounded "they were something?" clover asked "yeah! and rowen was telling me you stole him from her and shit. that this wasn't the first time you've done that? girl, i'm just saying like i get it. you're fucking clover moore and whatever, but just cause your big shit doesn't mean you can steal whoever you want"

"i'm sorry- what?" clover kept asking, over and over. as if the words that amber had just told her were a lie, a fake. that she was just telling her a false story "yes, are you deaf now? you stole chris from rowen. you're just fucking weird for that, and people know about it. she's telling aspen right now"

"he was the guy from new years?" clover asked "and she's the girl from josh's?" she added "oh my- yes, clover! you're a fucking home wrecker. and it's sad that this is what you had to do to get with someone. like, does he even like you? how do you know he's not just using you to get to rowen?"

clovers hand grazed the pearl necklace that sat on her collarbones as she turned away from amber, walking in the direction of chris as he laughed with nick and calista

"hey lucky" he smiled, looking down at her. yet her expression immediately made him nervous "what's wrong?" he asked "you slept with rowen?" she asked him.

"who told you that?" chris sounded almost offended that his business was out there "is it true?" she asked with tears forming in her eyes. gloss sheered over them as she looked up at him, pleading for an answer "is it true? she repeated

"i-" he began "yes. on new years" "and at josh's?" she added "you slept with carrington" he shot back. she rolled her eyes, shaking her head

"you slept with my fucking best friend and you knew that. were yall something?" by this time the people around overheard and turned towards the two arguing "clover- listen to me, she meant nothing okay?"

chris's hand tried to grab her arm, but clover shoved him away, shaking her head "do you like me, chris? be honest. or was this just to get her back?" he looked shocked, so shocked that he stayed silent

"if you knew anything about me you would've thought to share your hookup with her when you decided that your whore life was over." her hands undid the back clasp of her necklace as she looked up at him, placing it in his hand

"you're just like everyone said you would be." she spat out, before turning and walking out of the house to her car. she couldn't be around so many people at the moment.

rowen ran after her, standing outside the car window as she knocked "clover lower your window." she begged

she was her best friend.

through teary eyes she did lower her window and look at the girl who she thought she knew "you never told me it was him." she said quietly "i-i know, but we were kind of something" rowen continued to lie

her goal was to get clover the furthest away from christopher, no matter how much lying it took out of her

"i wouldn't have gotten attached- why did you let me like him so bad?" clover asked, getting out of the car and staring down her ghost of a friend "i dont know, i didn't think it would get to this point. he used you, is that so-"

"so what? is that so bad? oh yeah! him using me? fuck, rowen you're just like you've always been. and now you telling amber and everyone else i've done this before?" clover laughed out, her sadness now froze, and turned into anger

rowen stayed silent. the innocent, smile, party girl clover that she loved was lost in the sea of emotions. "you can have him, and whatever games he wants to play." clover turned back, got in her car and drove off.

rowen turned back towards the door, looking for someone who believed her. yet, they all just stared at the girl who ruined clover moores birthday.

aspen looked at her coldly "she would've never done this to you." she said lowly "dick move, rowen." she added on, before security threw amber out of the house and slammed the door in her face.
