"jamesy, is this not enough?" liberty questioned the boy sat on his bed, all his attention moving his attention away from his phone and straight to her the second she spoke. "i wear this all the time, should i wear something else?"
"you're going bowling," daniel softly shook his head. "if you're comfortable, just wear that. it's not date." subtly smiling as he watched her look at herself in the mirror. "i think you look good."
"mh okay," she softly hummed in agreement, turning away from the mirror and walking over towards her best friend. taking a seat on the edge of his bed as she put her socks on. "so is violet coming here or are you going there?"
"i think she's coming here, but i'm gonna go pick her up to save her friend a trip," he explained.
"do you want me to drive to her's and she can bring my car back here and i'll just uber from there?"
he shook his head, "i think she has like anxiety when it comes to driving. it's okay lib, i'll pick her up."
"oh-kayy," she sarcastically replied as she got back up, walking over and slipping her feet into her shoes she had left by his bedroom door.
"are you ready?" he received a hum as he followed her actions. "i'll drop you off, save you an uber."
"tank you."
shoving his phone into his pocket whilst she grabbed her little going out bag, he then gently placed his hands on her side causing them to both letting out small chuckles as he lead her out of his bedroom.
heading out to his car and getting in, liberty picked her playlist from his selection as they begun the drive to the bowling alley she was meeting there friends at.
"so are you staying at jack's again tonight?"
"if violet's staying at yours, i will," liberty nodded. "i don't think she'll appreciate meeting the girl best friend who's also the ex, late at night cause she wants to sleep over when it's your second time hanging out.."
"mh, you got a point," he agreed.
"i'll meet her when i'm sober and it's not after ten-pm and you've hung out with her mh.. at least four times- unless she wants to meet me before then of course."
"are you going to drink tonight?"
"mhm," she quickly hummed. "i know jack and i have been hanging out like everyday but it's still a little awkward.. and i don't know anyone else going other than zach."
"maybe don't have too much.."
"you don't trust them with someone who's drunk?" she raised a brow.
"no, it's just you have work tomorrow and you don't like doing anything after a big night of drinking, that's all.. and if you're staying at jack's, there's no guarantee he'll make sure you're up in time.."
"i wasn't planning on having much anyway.. just a couple to settle my nerves."
"alright"
the pair fell into slight silences, listening to the music as they drove the rest of the way and liberty texted with jack to make sure she wasn't going to be alone when she got there and then continuing to talk till they arrived.
"you'll text me if you need me?" daniel looked over at the girl after he had pulled into an empty parking space out the front of the bowling alley.
"no you spend time with violet. i'm not bothering you, she's gonna think i'm clingy."
he subtly shook his head at her and repeating; "but you'll text if you need me?"
"yeah yeah okay," she sarcastically replied as she undone her seatbelt.
"have fun," he sent her a small smile.
"you have fun!" she returned one as she opened the door.
then getting out of the car and taking her few belongings, the two friends exchanged another goodbye before she walked into the bowling alley.
once inside, her eyes almost instantly landing on jack with his friends as he too noticed her, which prompted him to stand up and walk over.
"hey lil," he placed a quick peck on her lips.
"hey.."
"i got you a claw already- it's not open and no one's touched it, i remember you being very selective about who can get your drinks and watches them, but i just grabbed it when the rest of us were getting drinks so it saves you going over."
"thank you. but i trust you, you're my friend."
a little over a hour passed by and the group of ten had switched their group around a bit and was now playing a second round of bowling. liberty was a couple drinks deep and was definitely feeling a lot more relaxed around the new people.
"lil," jack called out to the girl who was distracted as she got to know the others they were out with. "are you gonna eat some pizza?"
"m-mh," she quickly shook her head in disagreement before turning her attention straight back to the other girls.
jack watched for her a couple more seconds then looking back over to their lane, watching his ex bandmate take his second bowl. a few of them soon laughing and playfully teasing zach as he missed one singular pin.
"you suck!" liberty joking called out.
"i wanna see you do better," he replied, gesturing to the lane as it was now her turn.
"alright, i will!" she let out a small hum as she hoped up.
"bet."
zach folded his arms as he turned around basically where he was stood, eyes following her as she went over and grabbed a ball. rolling it without any thought, the girl then bursted out in laughter and turned around to see the rest reacting the same as the ball went straight into the gutter.
"yeah, you're definitely better than me," zach snickered before going to sit down.
"hey i got another go, don't get too head of yourself!"
"lil, let me teach you how to bowl-"
"i don't need a man's help," she unintentionally cut jack off, folding her arms as she waited for her ball to cycle back around.
"at least put the guards up so you can get some points," he chuckled.
"don't care, i'm having fun."
jack softly smiled as he continued to keep his eyes on her, meanwhile liberty grabbed the bowling ball and took her a little longer to position herself better than she had prior.
throwing the ball and watching as it rolled down to the other end of the lane. standing there for a second unsure on what to do as all the pins fell down and particularly the boys reacted in shock.
"told you i'm better," liberty soon teased zach as she skipped back over to the group. "you suck, herron."
"that was luck," he softly shook his head.
"remind me who has more point?" she raised a brow.
"you've had two turns, i've had one!"
"whatever, whatever," she playfully replied while she took a seat next to jack as he had grabbed her hand and softly gestured her to.
"will you have a slice, please," jack more so suggested as he spoke only to her. "don't think daniel will be happy if i let you starve."
"i can't eat dairy, you know this.."
"oh, what do you want to eat then? I'll go order you something you can eat."
"i hate being that one difficult person," she shook her head.
"you're allowed to eat, no one's gonna judge you."
"m-mh, i'm not hungry" she shook her head as she got back up.
"do you wanna stay back after, having something to eat, spend some time together?"
"sure," she shrugged before walking off.
