"So this is the Cabin?" Caleb sighed as the three of them stood in front of the large secluded cabin "Yep, does it seem-" Ivy started "Busy" Jacob finished noticing that the cabin was filled with drunk party goers "This is going to be a long night" Caleb sighed as they entered the large house willed with colourful lights "It's like a rave in here" Caleb sighed "Smells like one too" Jacob gasped "I'm going to find Graham, I'll be back" Ivy smiled walking off "Wanna go get beer?" Caleb asked "I don't really drink that often, but I'll join you" Jacob smiled following Caleb to the bar area which was basically abounded. A few drinks later, Caleb was dancing in the crowd Jacob watched loving the lively sight.

Ivy was sitting with Graham, in his bedroom and they were slowly making out, and Ivy too consumes some alcohol, but when she was kissing him all she was thinking about was Connor, and the guilt she felt. She stopped pulling herself away "What's wrong?"He asked confused "This was a mistake" Ivy sighed getting up realising Caleb was right earlier. He grabbed her arm "Stay" He smiled intoxicated "I Don't think so" Ivy shook his hand off and darted out of the room slamming his door heart racing.

Meanwhile, at a somewhat fancy restaurant, the double date was taking place "This place is amazing" Ava smiled biting into her meal "Definitely coming here for our next date" Millie agreed kissing Ava on the cheek "It is lovely right Linc?" Katie asked noticing his quiet state "Yeah, it's great" He replied no emotion in his voice. Katie sighed "Millie do you need to go to the bathroom?" Katie started "Oh me too, come on" Katie smiled dragging Millie into the bathroom "Are you ok?" Millie asked "Does Lincoln seem weird to you?" Katie asked a little frantic "Are you ok?" Millie asked again more worried about Millie who looked drained "I'm just really worried, he's been acting strange for a while now" Katie asked nervous about what this meant.

"I wouldn't stress, about it but if you are worried the best thing you can do is talk to Lincoln about it" Millie smiled "Thanks, Millie how are you doing?" Katie asked curious about her friend "I'm a little stressed, I mean Ava's thinking about uni across the country, and I'm worried how that will affect us, I mean you know what they say about log distance" Millie sighed worried about the year to come when Ava leaves their school to pursue University as well as many of her other friends including Lincoln and Jacob.

Katie and Millie hugged, "I think we both have things to do" Katie smiled "Including this bathroom talk, this date night has been fun" Millie smiled noticing their unusual setting.

Caleb and Jacob were sitting on a bench under a shelter, Caleb was a little drunk "Why did I drink?" Caleb sighed feeling like he would vomit "Come here" Jacob hugged him keeping him close as Caleb was falling asleep slightly. Ivy came out of the Cabin drunk also. "Let's go, this party was a bust" Ivy smiled realising she did need time by herself, no Jorge, no Connor or no random hookup. "Thank god, this place is awful" Jacob smiled holding Caleb up from falling sideways.

Millie and Ava, sat in her car outside the restaurant. Ava was about to drive when Millie stopped her "What's wrong?" Ava asked shocked "We need to talk" Millie smiled nervously and Ava seemed nervous "I know you want to go to uni after sixth form, and I'm worried" Millie started and Ava seemed confused "Why?" Ava responded "Can we survive long distance, I've seen how they have failed with my sisters, and what if you find a hotter and smarter girl at uni?" Millie replied frantically lowering her head.

Ava smiled lifting Millie's head slightly "Millie, I love you with all my heart, and nothing will change that, you are the girl I want to be with, even if we are miles away, I know we will make this work, because nothing can ruin this-" Ava reassured her wiping away her tears before kissing her slowly, before looking into her eyes intensely. "You're right, I just worry" Millie smiled at the exact words she wanted to hear. "I love you Ava" Millie smiled "I love you too" Ava smiled as they drove off into the night.

The next morning, Ivy was sitting at her kitchen counter hungover eating cereal looking like a mess and Caleb walked in to see Jacob sitting at the counter with Lincoln, Ivy and Katie. "Here comes sleeping beauty" Jacob smiled noticing Caleb was wearing his hoodie once again. "Oh piss off" Caleb sat down feeling like a mess as well as looking like one. "Never again" Caleb rubbed his head "So what did you guys do last night?" Lincoln asked noticing their appearances "Shut up" Ivy snapped "Why am I wearing your hoodie?" Caleb asked "You vomitted on your top" Jacob smiled remembering the even vividly "Lovely" Caleb sighed feeling awful.

Katie pulled Lincoln into the living room and they sat on the sofa. "Are you alright?" Linc asked worried "What is wrong with you lately, you've been so distant" Katie wondered confused and irritated "I'm sorry" Lincoln looked saddened "Are you ok?" Katie asked "I am worried, about university" Lincoln responded honestly "I'm just worried that I won't get into a school" Linc replied nervous as they awaited the response for his place. "So you don't want to break up with me?" Katie wondered and Lincoln shot her a confused look "Of course not" Lincoln kissed her "And I know you Lincoln Stokeo, you will do amazing things, and if those universities don't realise that, then it's their loss, not yours" Katie kissed him hugging him feeling the warmth return between them.

"I'm sorry about last night, I know it wasn't our plan of date night, but I'm buying the takeaway tonight, your choice" Caleb smiled and Jacob beamed a smile back "Can't wait, I'm also picking the movie, ooh the Grinch" Jacob chuckled bring Caleb into his embrace.
