"Is this Alright? I feel like I look stupid.." I sigh, checking myself out in the mirror.
"If you claim not to care about this party, then why are you worried about picking the perfect outfit?" Maddy questioned.
"Whatever!" I grumbled, deciding on wearing the red romper I was wearing already. I slipped my black sandals on and grabbed my phone.
Of course we were running late..I'd like to call it fashionably late. After hearing about the location change to The Hamptons, Seth and Sarah spent thousands of dollars renting out a bar for the evening and lavish decorations.
We met up with Dean, Spencer, Finn, and Cathy in the lobby. That's something I forgot to mention, Finn started seeing Cathy Kelly again, and they've gotten quite close. I was happy for him, he found someone to keep himself happy.
"Harp, you look stunning, your gonna outshine the bride to be for sure." Spencer muttered in my ear, kissing me.
"Aw, stop it." I teased, playfully nudging him. There were limos scheduled to take the guests from the hotel to the location, so we all piled in one and headed off.
"I hope they like our gift!" Cathy sighed, settling a neatly wrapped box on her lap. Everyone else exchanged looks.
"Uh...we were supposed to bring gifts?" Dean asked.
"Well yes! Did you read the invitations?" Finn questioned.
"Nope.." Maddy said sheepishly. Spencer and I shook our heads too.
"Well, im sure there'll be so many other gifts, she won't notice." Cathy added.
"Knowing her, she'll be checking off names all night, and kill the ones who didn't give her anything." I joked, making everyone laugh.
We arrived at the location, which was very private, a gated part of town. There were black and gold balloons positioned by the entryway, in theme for the wedding I assumed.
We stepped out, and I grabbed Spencer's hand instantly. We waited in line to get our names checked off the guest list.
"Name?" The security asked me and Spencer.
"Spencer Rollins and Harper Wright." We answered.
He scanned the list, "I have a Spencer Rollins, but no Wright.."
"Trust me, I'm on the list. I mean, they switched the location of this party because of me!" I scoffed.
"I'm sorry ma'am, you'll have to step aside, your holding up the line.." Security pointed behind me, and sure enough, a line of angry party guests were behind us.
I stepped aside, "Go on without me, find Seth or someone, this has to be a mix up."
"Alright babe, I'll be back in a flash!" Spencer pecked my cheek and rushed through the crowd.
A few minutes later, I saw Seth, Sarah and Spencer heading my way.
"Uh, tell her what you told me, guys." Spencer looked annoyed.
"We thought it'd be a funny to prank you into thinking you weren't on the list..sorry about that, Harper!" Sarah grinned.
Oh that bitch.
"Well it certainly doesn't surprise me you both stooped this low." I brushed past them and headed inside with Spencer.
"Trust me, I was just as surprised as you are." He said.
"I need a stiff drink." I grumbled.
"There's an open barrrrrrr..." Spencer wiggles his eyebrows.
"Lead the way!" I giggled.

A couple hours later, Spencer and I were drunk, having taken advantage of that open bar.
"G-Guess what H-Harperrrrrrrr..." Spencer stuttered.
"W-Whattttttttt?" I whined, rocking back and forth on the barstool.
"I-I lovvvvveeeeeeee youuuu!" He sung, kissing my hand.
"I love you t-tooooooo!" I giggled.
We ordered two more beers and watched the shit show called their party.
Crowds of people were either dancing, eating, or smart and drinking like us.
"Excuse me everyone, if I could have your attention for one moment.." Seth raised his hand up, sliding his way in front of everyone.
"Great, I love speeches." Spencer rolled his eyes.
"Tune him out, it's easy, I've done it before!" I suggested, swigging my beer.
We ordered an appetizer of buffalo wings and chatted as we ate, ignoring whatever the hell Seth was saying.
Until we noticed everyone had their eyes on us.
"Uh Spence, what's going on?" I whispered, and he shrugged, licking his fingers. "No clue."
"So Harper, will you dance with me? And Spencer dance with Sarah?" Seth asked.
A spotlight flashed on our faces, as I was so confused.
"Uh..sure.." I agreed, and he cheered. "I was getting a little worried there!"
We both chugged the last of our beer and made our way to the dance floor. I was not a dancer, hated being the center of attention, so this was torture. Although, it helped tremendously that I was drunk.
Sarah and Spencer began dancing, and I awkwardly placed my hands around Seth's neck.
His hands gently found their way around my waist and we began moving to the flow of the slow song playing.
"So, I take it you've enjoyed our open bar policy?" He teased.
"Y-Yeah.." I hiccuped.
"So, since I know your a forgetful drunk and won't remember hardly anything from tonight, I have to tell you something that's been on my mind.." Seth whispered so only we could hear.
"I haven't forgotten about you, Harper. And the reason I cannot be friends with you right now, is because I'm afraid I won't be able to control my temptations...There's something about you, that pulls me in, and I hate to say it like this, but it's almost as if I'm addicted to you." His words made me raise my eyebrows.
"Seth, why are you telling me this? When I'll probably forget?" I sighed.
He spun me around, before gliding me back in. "I needed to get it off my chest before I marry Sarah. I feel bad letting everybody down if I don't go through with this. I'm sorry Harper, I never meant to hurt you." He frowned.
His hand caressed my cheek, "Thank you for dancing with me. Your one of a kind, Harper." He kissed my forehead as the song ended.
I watched as he rejoined Sarah, and Spencer tugged me back towards the bar, snapping me from my thoughts.
"Sarah kept stepping on my fucking feet during that stupid dance! It was torture!" He complained. "How was my brothers moves? Were they better?"
"Y-Yeah, they were." I nodded, thinking back to his words. God, I didn't even know what to think.
"You ready to hit the road? Being around these rich folks for too long is deadly to me." Spencer mumbled.
"Yeah..lets go." I agreed, standing up. We headed for the door as Seth and I made eye contact one last time.
Outside, there were limos waiting to bring guests back to the hotel, and we hopped in one and headed back.
"All this wedding talk sort of makes me think about ours one day..which is crazy because we've been dating for two months, but I feel like we have this deep connection Harper.." Spencer revealed, taking my hand in his.
"Really? Wow, I feel the same way, Seth." I smiled, resting my head on his shoulder.
"Wow, I must be really drunk, I swear it sounded like you said my brothers name.." He chuckled.
That was the last thing I remembered, as I fell asleep leaning against him..
