Party Time [Everyone]

The music was loud, hundreds of people were dancing and laughing. Alex smiled as he passed a group who all wished him a happy birthday. There were free drinks all night and already it had gone to some people's heads. But he didn't mind, he wasn't the one who had to clean up the mess. The strobe lights flashed around his head, making him feel slightly dizzy. But the party had just begun, and he would see it through to the end. He picked up a Jones soda from the bar - it wasn't alcoholic, it was too early, but it was a pretty colour. His phone vibrated in his pocket as he received another birthday text, one from a boy not to far away. Alex smiled and lead the boy somewhere a little more secluded to return ten minutes later with a much happier guest. Sitting on the bar Alex watched as more and more people arrived, he chuckled at the pile of gifts he had received - the mountain by the door. Half the people in the room didn't even know him properly. Some knew him a little better than was probably advisable. But who cared? Not Alex. Running a hand through his neat hair he smiled at a group of girls and jumped off the bar to go and dance with them.

Faith entered the club looking slightly deluded as normal, a small smile fixed on her lips as she made her way through the large crowd. As she looked around, she straightened her small purple dress which had a bow at her hip, she soon caught sight of Alex with a group of girls, she laughed softly anyone could have mistaken him for someone like Hugh Hefner with all theses girls he had, but Faith was surprised that it wasn't boys dancing close to him. She made her way through the crowd and tapped one well manicured finger on his shoulder with a delightful smile placed on her slightly shinier lips. "Happy Birthday Alex," Her voice with filled with happiness as it slipped off her tongue in a sing-song voice before she planted a large kiss on his cheek. "The place looks wonderful, so do you I must add." She spoke in his ear quiet loudly due to the blasting music that filled Amnesia. She threw her arms around him, trying to be careful not to crush his present she at least wanted him to see that she had made an effort not by just how she looked by how long it took to wrap his present and fix the bow, it was forever falling.

Alex grinned and took Faiths arm away from the glaring girls. "Thank you," he said ordering them both a drink. His shirt clung tightly to his body with ease. It was going to be a good night. He could feel it. For one night he wouldn't have to worry about anything, not schoo, not his mother, not boys...well. He bit his lip and the man on the bar winked at him. He loved being the centre of attention. Especially today. He had forgotten about the early years of his life when even he had forgotten his birthday. But now so much had changed, more for better than for worse.

Faith smiled as she soon took her drink, being careful that she wouldn't drink too much. Handing over his present it was a box slightly larger than her hand, smiling softly, "Only something small," She mused knowing inside was the iPod touch, she knew that only Edward knew about her real life but she could always lie a little, say she saved up. As her eyes then darted around the room but no sign of Edward, she looked back to Alex, maybe he wouldn't show tonight and she would be waisting her time looking for him. To be honest, she wouldn't have dressed as nicely if she knew that Edward wasn't going to be there but she wasn't going to be depressed. She kept her smile up, her eyes twinkling, it was Alex's birthday and she was going to make him have a good day.

Alex took the present, wondering whether to open it now or later. But from the look on Faiths face told him it was very special. "I'll open it later," he shouted over the loud music, "I don't want to break it." He leant over the bar and placed the gift neatly out of the way, asking the bar tender to look after it for him. There were some conditions but he finally agreed. Takign Faith's hand he lead her onto the dance floor, "Dance with me?" he asked smiling. Avoiding the glares from other people in the room he laughed at her expression, "Don't worry, Edward should be here soon."

Faith smiled and nodded as she then placed on of her hand on his waist and the other on his shoulder as she then started to dance with him then started to shake her hips with a wide grin she then started to sing along, jumping up and down whilst shaking her head with a wide grin on her lips. "I wasn't looking for Edward!" She shouted in a defencive tone, her eyes wide as she then frowned, but continued to dance with him.

Edward had course heard about the party that Alex was having, it being his birthday Party Edward had heard of it through means of Faith, climbing out of his car, he shut the door and locked it, pocketing his keys he doubted he would be driving home tonight, well that all depended on if he did infact drinking, Idly pattign hsi silver Volvo with gratitude to his trusted car he made his way into the club, music flared loudly. With a card in hand, the door shut behind him and he was surprised at the amoutn of people. He didn't know Alex that well hence the fact he had only brought a card. Edward wore nothing eniterly special but he had made an effot He wore his black jacket with a white shit underneath, shot sleeved shirt at that and the top few buttons undone, accompanined by black trousers and shoes. He stood for a moment by the door, he soon spotted Alex and Faith dancing not wishing to interupt Edward made his way over to the bar, and sat at one of the stool and ordered himself a soft drink to begin with.

Alex laughed lightly as he joined Faith as she 'pulled some shapes', "Sure you weren't," Alex said in here ear sarcastically, "And it's not really my birthday." He pulled away from her smirking. Suddenly he heard the door shut and looked over to see Edward walk in. For once he was glad of his super power. He inclinded his head to Faith to let her see him sit down at the bar. "Always the gentleman," he smirked giving Faith a friendly twirl.

Sephy entered the club, quite scared of the huge crowds and how loud everything was, but within minutes she felt perfectly at home. No one was paying her any attention, and it felt good to not be stared at and whispered about. Besides, if no one knew her, she could make an entirely fresh impression on everyone. Sneaking out of the house had been easier than she'd thought; she'd just climbed through the window, old school style. She spotted Alex dancing with Faith and was going to wait in he corner until they'd finished, but then she remembered that this was her fresh start - the new Sephy. She stepped out onto the edge of the dancefloor, a couple of heads turning to check out her slim, bare legs and her incredibly short shorts. "Alex!" she shouted, speaking louder now than she had done in months, maybe even years. "Alex! I came! I made it!"

Edward's gaze turned at the sudden loud call, and he spotted a gil on the edge of the dance floo yellign for Alex. Edward remembered he had seen her a few times, but didn't know her name. He rolled his eyes slightly at her loud interuption, If Faith and Alex wished to dance then so be it. Edward stood and turned to face the dance floor, he shrugged out of his jacket handing it to the bar man to hang up before, he lent casually against the bar itself and sied his drink watching the crowd. He picked out a few people he new the names off but other then that he didn't have any clue.

Alex smiled as Sephy walked over to him, "Hey! Good to see you," he shouted back. Laughing at the fact they had to shout to be heard. Taking both the girls with him, he went to join Edward at the bar. Pulling himself up onto the surface he leant back pulling a bottle out from behind the bar. "Good to see you Eddie," he shouted, smiling at him. Now all he needed was Destin and Nick and he would be set. He looked around - realising he only knew half of the people, and those were the ones he had slept with. Nevermind, it was a party afterall. Everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves.

Edward remained where he was as Alex walked over accompanied by Faith and the other girl he didn't know. He straightend himself as he looked to the thre of them "Happy Birthday Alex." Edward said in a formal tone as he handed him his card. "I didn't know what to get you, So I just got you a card i'm afriad" he aplogised then lent back slightly against the bar and dank some of his drink His eyes travled to Faith beside him, lightly his Eyes galnced her over, before finally he smiled a slow cooked smile. "And Hello to you too."

Alex took the card from Edward smiling, "Aww, you shouldn't have," he grinned leaning dangerously close to Edward, "It was very kind of you," he said giving Edward a slow kiss on his lips. He tasted pretty good, whatever he was drinking was left in his mouth. Well, why not? It was his birthday afterall. Pulling away he winked casually at Faith. When they had disscused Edward for the first time she said she wouldn't care. Alex leant back and took a sip of his own drink. "So, enjoying the party?" he asked, directing it to no one in particular.

"Well I couldn't not show up to a party without anything." He admitted. At theat moment Edward felt lips press to his, he blinked realizing they were infact Alex's he didn't return to kiss owing to the fact he was surprised to say the least, yet a part of him, half expected such actions and no doubt many more later during the night. Edward didn't say anything to eally dazed to say anything, so he sipped hsi drink and finally replied "Ah, Well Iv'e only just got here..but it seems good so far, everyone seems to be enjoying them selves." He said yet half murrmered.

Nick arrived, fashionably late as ever, wearing just tight black jeans, a t-shirt and a waistcoat, but looking even hotter than normal, for some reason. He caught sight of Alex at the bar, surrounded by people, and went over to him with no shame. He grabbed his wrist, turned him round to face him and kissed him hard and long right in front of everyone. "Happy Birthday," he breathed as he pulled back, smirking. "Want to see your present?" He casually played with his hair, showing off the brand new tattoo between his thumb and first finger - a single black star.

"It's good to see you too Edward," She whispered softly, "I think I shall let you have a talk and dance with your other fans for now, Want to come with me?" She asked softly but loud enough for Edward to hear over the music, her hand soon finding his between the crowd, she knew no one would be able to see hence why she did it now, she felt compelete as she then gave him a small grin before turning to Alex, "I'll see you in a bit, behave," She smirked, knowing it was the most stupid thing to say to the flirt but never the less she gave a nod, wondering wether Edward would walk with her.

Edward put down his drink as Faith's hand soon found his own, He followed and nodded To Alex in a be back later way, before he followed Faith through the crowds the music was loud and Edward could baley here himself think. "Where are we going?"He shouted to Faith above the music, he simply followed. Unaware, and unphased by it, more so curious. He caught up and casually placed his lower hand on the base of Faith's back, they still wern't offical yet, but it was probably only a matter of time. Edward ducked his lips to Faith's ears "you look wounderful again by the way."

Alex grinned at Nick and kissed him back, "Want to see mine?" he asked grinning slightly sheepishly. "You look delightful by the way," Alex said biting his lip. He knew exactly how he wanted this party to go. Lifting up the left corner of his shirt Alex reveled his first tattoo. The redness had gone and all that was left was his own design. Maybe Nick would start to think he was obsessed with stars as his own was a design of three stars - one red, one yellow and one blue all leaving a black trail of stardust on his hip bone. He loved it, even thought it had hurt so much.

Faith's face lit up as she spoke into her ear and her heart felt like it was going to leap out of her chest, she squeezed his hand tightly before wanted to kiss him but held back, what would people think? "Thank you," She whispered back in his as she felt his hand touch some of her bare skin and she instantly bit down harshly on her own lip, her eyes glistening as she looked to him. "I just wanted to get away from people, I honestly just wanted to be with you - I mean, nevermind." She laughed as she pulled him towards the corner of the room where the music was quieter and not alot of people were dancing.

Nick smiled and ran his finger along the line of stars. "It's good, for a start." He quickly ordered a drink and played with Alex's hair for a moment before suddenly saying, "Oh, I almost forgot! There's more. You know I said you could choose two? Well, I kind of chose for you." He turned around and lifted his t-shirt up, slowly revealing a crimson heart on the small of his back, with black bat's wings, all dripping red and black blood in dark trails past the waistband of his trousers. He wouldn't tell, but there was a tiny 'A' marked in silver at the bottom of the heart, and he'd had a little silver star drawn next to that too. "Well, what do you think?" he asked, smirking, as he guessed at the expression on Alex's face.

Alex bit his lip and leant forward and placed a kiss on Nick's neck, "It's beautiful...I'm just curious as to where all that blood is going," he said it his most innocent voice. Gently Alex ran his finger over it, just as he had done with all of Nick's other tattoos the first time they had met. Wrapping his arms around Nick, Alex kissed his back, smiling. Turning the other boy around Alex kissed him gently on the lips...it was strange to think they hand started believing this would be a one time thing. "Dance?" he asked as a slower song began to pound through the speakers.

"Dance? I'm sure there's something much more interesting we could do," he said, kissing Alex a little harder and tucking his hands into the back pockets of Alex's jeans, using this as leverage to pull the boy closer to him. "This, for instance. Much more interesting. Unless you want to dance, of course," he added, throwing a glaring look at the mass of bodies moving in unison in the middle of the room. "You're the birthday boy..."

Edward followed Faith still to the far corner where he stood with her, he gently lent on the wall on his side as he faced Faith. He smiled lighlty with a small chuckle "Oh." he said as he glanced over the dance floo to see many sudden couples begin to dance, together, he hesitated on the point of asking Faith, should he, or should he not ask her? He pursed his lips thoughtful as the music became slowe a soft gentle melody, yet erotic all the same that had most couples dancing extreamly close. Enough to be impatical even.

Alex smirked and wrapped his arms around Nick's neck. "Well, the night is still young...there will be plenty of time for...other things," he said leaning towards Nick and placing a kiss on his inviting lips. "We could stay here though...it's a bit sweaty over there," he grinned at the mass of bodies that had suddenly rushed to find a partner, and all the single people were either swaying on their own or sitting on the side drinking. It made Alex smile to think that he had never once been alone at a party, and tonight was no different.

Nick took his drink from the bar. "We'll wait then, shall we? Just for this song..." He smiled smugly, proud of all the looks they were getting from various girls, who all looked incredibly jealous of one or both of them. Some were quite cute, and Nick made a mental note to get their numbers before the night was over, but not right now. Now he was just enjoying having Alex as his trophy for everyone to see, and he was positive that Alex saw it the same way. Dancing to a romantic song like this would have been a bit awkward for people with their bizarre relationship, so waiting was best.
