Don't Fret, it's just a number -Brooklyn's Party

[OLIVER SEBASTIAN WELCOTT]

YOU ARE THE ONLY EXCEPTION

tags;; Brooklyn/Open etc;;

It was Brooklyn Sawyers Birthday! And Oliver had set up a lovely surprise party for her at the Salt Water Grill. It had taken some doing and some help from Kylie. But he'd been able to invite her closest friends and engineer a way to get her there without her knowing what was going on. He had rented the whole place out for the evening and insisted on doing the decorating himself. He even rearranged the dining room to make way for a dance floor, as he had hired a dj. Oliver had decorated all the tables with with red clothes and each a crystal vase with half a dozen real, white roses. He had even hired one of those photo booths with all the fancy accessories. There would be cake too of course, because one couldn't throw a birthday party without cake. So Oliver ordered a 4 tier square chocolate ghash cake with Buttercream frosting. Aside from that, he'd found a local mixologist and created a signature Cocktail called "The Brooklyn". And why shouldn't she have a drink named after her on her birthday?!

It was sure to be a fun evening. Perhaps the biggest surprise would be when Tristan showed up. Oliver had even arranged for Tristan to fly in. He was so happy that Tristan and Brooklyn had worked things out, (not that there had been much to work out) and were a couple now. His best friend and his brother. It was a perfect combination in his opinion. Now if they could just keep things from going sour between them, as often happened in relationships, they would all be doing grandly.

Though he would likely never admit it, Oliver was quite excited for Brooklyn's return. He'd been a bit lonely with both her and Tristan gone and quite missed her popping in on him unannounced. But that was his secret. He didn't want to puff Brooklyn up or anything.

Oliver was working at the hospital now. Three, six hour shifts a week. It hadn't been easy at first. And still wasn't. But it was getting more bearable. To be quite honest though, Oliver knew he was going to lose a patient one of these days and he was afraid of what that was going to do to him. Oliver wasn't afraid to admit that he was in a precarious situation still, both emotionally and mentally. The smallest thing had the potential to send him back into that downward spiral he'd just now really started to pull himself out of. But with a good support system and a clear view of his priorities, he was pretty sure he could keep moving forward.

Looking at his watch, Oliver realized that guests would be arriving in about 15 minutes. He'd been here most of the day setting the place up. The dj had arrived about 10 minutes ago. He was excited and nervous all at once. And he wasn't quite sure if he knew how much he was or wasn't looking forward to this party, not being much a social person anymore. But it was for Brooklyn and she deserved it and that was all that mattered.

With groans of frustration he begrudgingly went to take a shower and throw on some decent clothes. Some dark brown slacks, a tan and white button up with a tan sweater over it. He threw on some boots instead of his normal sneakers before heading out. Him and Kylie agreed to go in on a gift and he had given her the money giving her free reign to do as she wished. He did pick out his own card, though. With the card and keys in hand plus wallet and phone in his pocket he locked up his apartment, climbed into his truck and drive the ten minutes or so to the Salt Water Grill. When he walked in he had to admit he was rather impressed with the place. Oliver had pulled this off rather quickly. He knew Kylie had helped some though how much he wasn’t sure. He recognized their gift(mainly because Kylie put their names right on it) so he set his card on top of it. After he went up besides Oliver and clapped a hand on his shoulder. ”Looks good Oliver. Now, how much of this good taste was my girl’s doing because this can’t all be you.” He winked jokingly at Oliver as he watched the DJ fine tune their equipment. Some of the restaurant staff were setting up appetizers for people to snack on while another gentleman had set up a drink station. Not just alcoholic mind you but everything. Cameron himself would probably end up with coffee. He had just gotten done a four night stretch. He had gotten to sleep a few hours each day, most of it today since Kylie was busy, but he still needed that liquid energy. His forefinger and thumb went up to rub at his eyes, causing them to become bloodshot. ”So tell me genius, how do you plan to lure her here? Considering she only got home yesterday evening I feel like she really doesn‘t feel like doing anything but sleeping.” Kylie had gotten a text when Brooklyn had gotten back to her grandmothers but Brooklyn had asked to be left alone. She had wanted to sleep and then had work to do at the office. Even then from what he heard she had literaly locked herself in her office and wouldn’t talk to anyone because she had “so much work” to do.

Oliver smiled as he saw Cameron walk in, and approached, his hand extended, to shake his friend and colleague's hand. Thanks for coming..You're the fist one here. He commented, as he lead Cameron into the main dining room. Your girlfriend's gone out to pick up some balloons and things for me.....Final touched you know. Oliver smiled.

He laughed at Cameron's comment. Well the roses at each table were Kylie's idea....And she got me a good discount from her sister too...It does pay...or in this case, save, to know the right people. Oliver centered a few more of the vases. He wanted everything to be "just so". Brooklyn deserved a great party and he was excited to be the one to throw it for her.

Oliver smiled slyly at Cameron's query as to how they planned to get Brooklyn there. Oh that's your girlfriend's idea....See...I'm supposed to call Brooklyn and tell her that I found Kylie getting drunk at the grill's bar, and she better come down and see what's wrong with her....Because we all know Kylie would never get falling down drunk. Oliver grinned, then went to talk to one of the waiters.

[KYLIE BRIDGET STOWE]

Kylie was tickled pink when Oliver asked her to help him with some preparations for the surprise party he was throwing for Brooklyn. She'd thought it a lovely idea and told Oliver that she was proud of him, and Brooklyn would certainly be proud of him, for stepping out of his comfort zone to do this. Kylie knew, from things that Cameron had told her, it wasn't easy for Oliver to do this. Yet he seemed to get a certain level of joy out of doing it for someone he loved as much as Brooklyn. It was sweet to see the bond that Brooklyn and the two Welcott Brother's shared. Yes, Brooklyn was Tristan's girl, but could still pay her friendly attentions and not threaten his brother's relationship with the woman.

Kylie picked up all the roses and vases from Haven's shop, and the red table cloths from the rental place, then went to the Salt Water Grill and helped Oliver set up. When they had finished, Kylie stood by Oliver, looking around, rather satisfied at what they had accomplished. This is really great of you to do this for Brooklyn, Oliver. She'll certainly be surprised. she laughed with excitement. Kylie had been to surprise parties and been thrown a surprise party or two, but she'd never got to help plan and set one up. It was so deliciously exciting. I talked to Tristan and he said he'd be in around 8 o'clock. So Brooklyn won't suspect it at all.

Looking at the time, Kylie grabbed her purse and her keys I better go get the balloons and the party favors Kylie had ordered chocolates as a party favor for each of the guests. They were custom made ones that looked just like Brooklyn. Kylie thought it was funny and unique See you in a little bit. She drove to the ballon shop and picked up to big bunches of helium balloons, for the cake table and then went to the candy shop and picked up the chocolates before returning to the grill.

When Kylie arrived, she saw Cameron's vehicle was already there. Smiling, she grabbed the items, and went inside. Setting the balloons and candy on the table, she walked over to Cameron, Hey sleepy head. Kylie wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. After a moment, she let go and straightened her dress. It was a maroon party dress, with sparkly gold high heels. She wore her hair in a simple ponytail and natural make up. Did you get some good sleep, babe? She asked.

& I WAKE UP EVERY EVENING
WITH A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE
( and it never seems out of place )

jesse wasn't super close with brooklyn, but they hung out sometimes and she was a really sweet girl. she'd been excited when she received an invite for a surprise party that a friend of hers was throwing for her. she was at a loss as to what present to get for her, however. jesse had some time to figure it out, however, but didn't like waiting around, so the day after she got the invite she was out gift shopping. after spending quite a few hours out and about it finally came to her. she headed over to the chocolate shop, remember how much brooklyn loved truffles. especially the lindt brand. she found a variety pack which had five different kinds in it, but not the little bags. the regular sizes. jesse picked out a card as well and her shopping was over.

she arrived at sat water grill, the place it was being held at and parked her car. jesse was a bit more dressed up than usual, though nothing major. low heels, skinny jeans and a nice blouse. she wasn't sure how dressy the party was supposed to be but she figured her outfit was safe. she stepped out, reaching back in for her bag and the gift, then closed the door and locked it. jesse walked inside, gasping as she saw the place. oliver had done an amazing job and she couldn't wait for brooklyn to see it. she didn't know oliver at all, really. she'd seen him at the charity ball and around town once in a while, but they'd never really talked. cameron she did know, however. he'd been her doctor during her brief hospital stay, plus he was kylie's boyfriend. jesse didn't know kylie well, either, her only connection the fact that she was haven's long lost sister, who happened to be her best friend. they'd greeted each other before, though never talked much. she thought it would be nice to get to know her better, since she was haven's sister and all. jesse made a mental note to arrange a time for them to just sit and talk sometime in the near future. if kylie wanted to, that is.

jesse walked up to oliver with a smile. "hi, i'm jesse," she greeted, unsure if he knew her by sight. "it's gorgeous in here. you did a wonderful job." she lifted the gift bag up briefly, unsure of what to do with it just then. "where should i put this?" she asked, having not seen a table for presents, though she'd probably just missed it.

[DOMINIC ELI BANES]

being one of brooklyn's best friends, dominic was, of course, very excited about the party that was being thrown for her. she would hate it, since she didn't like that sort of thing, but he was happy it was being forced on her, since she deserved it. he'd been stumped as to what to get her at first, but then remembered how much she loved snow globes. now he just needed to decide which one. after searching through a ton, dominic finally found one he thought she'd like.

he'd arranged for a babysitter to be with everleigh while he went to the party. upon arrival he saw that there were a few people there already, but clearly not everyone. dominic had known that there probably wouldn't be anyone there aside from brooklyn that he actually knew. or at least knew well. it wasn't too big of a deal, however, since it was about her and not himself. he walked inside, looking around at the transformation. the person responsible for it had done a good job. dominic noticed a table that had a couple other gift bags on it, and set his own there, as well. he checked his watch, wondering when exactly she was supposed to arrive.

The two had become buddies of sorts. Cameron made sure the shifts Oliver worked were usually with him just to make the transition easier. Sometimes having a familiar face helped out a lot more then one might think. And considering the things he had been through and what Brooklyn had told him as well, Cameron wanted to be there. He rubbed at his groggy face and nodded. ”She’s been excited with planning this. Is that why you convinced her to go to England? Figured an ocean between all of you would help make it easier to set things up.” Cameron was of course joking around since he knew why Oliver had suggested she go. Cameron himself only just found out at New Year’s. He had to give Oliver major props for getting through her stubbornness. He didn’t think it was possible. When he told her certain things it was like talking to a brick wall. ”Drunk? You’re going to say Kylie’s getting drunk? Oh good lord, I’m going to get an angry text asking if I’m the cause won’t I?” He shook his head as he mentally prepared himself for the onslaught of angry messages. Even if they didn’t say he had caused Kylie to get drunk, he knew Brooklyn. She’d be texting him like he was guilty! Cameron switched his phone to vibrate though was curious to see what and if she’d say anything. As he watched Oliver walk off, Cameron got some coffee to perk himself up. He didn’t want to be falling asleep in the middle of Brooklyn’s party. Though he had a feeling she would be too. As he drank the warm liquid, Kylie made an appearance. Careful not to spill any on her, he reached up hand up to gently cup along the side of her head. ”Evening, babe.” He smiled while his head nodded up and down. ”Yeah, I did. I didn’t want to wake up to be honest.” Cameron wrapped a lovingly possessive arm around Kylie. He liked being able to show off to people that she was his and only his. made his happy to know that they were together-that she chose to be with him above all other men. ”The place looks great. How do you think she’ll react?” That was the biggest thing. Aside from her store opening, Cameron couldn’t remember her having a part for anything. Nor going to any. She’d show up to charity events, stay and hour and then leave. He watched as a couple other people walked in. one he recognized as a patient of his from a few weeks ago. She seemed to be looking a lot better then when he had last seen her. The other guy he recognized but didn’t know very well. He glanced at his watch, curious as the how this would all go down. All Cameron knew is he’d have his camera ready.

As Zoe walked up towards the Salt Water Grill, she began to get nervous. New town, new people, she wanted to make an good impression. Though uncertain if showing up to a stranger's surprise birthday party was making a good impression. She received her invite on her doorstep, a few days earlier. Zoe was shocked. Barely moved in into her new house, she was already receiving a invite to something. She figure it was just a small town thing. Word gets around fast in small towns. Being from Chicago, Zoe wasn't quite used to small towns.

Before she entered the building, she made sure she was presentable. Since she had no idea, if the theme was casual or formal, she decided to go with a nice dress top, jeans and flats. Her hair was down and curled. Hopefully, she wasn't under dressed. As for a gift, obviously she didn't know what to get the woman since she didn't know her personally but she went with the safe route and got her chocolate. You really can't go wrong with chocolate. Or at least she hoped not.

After taking a couple of deep breaths, she walked into the grill and saw a couple of people walking around, preparing for the party. Zoe noticed no one knew she was standing there, so she walked over to the corner and sat down at a small table. Gift in hand, she wasn't sure where she should put the gift. Biting her lip, she already felt very uncomfortable. Maybe this was a bad idea.. she wondered.

Oliver laughed at Cameron's comment, shaking his head. No...that was all for Tristan...And he's coming tonight by the way...he'll arrive about a quarter of the way through the party, that why she doesn't expect anything. Oliver was happy that he'd be seeing his brother again. After Tristan's last stay, which he ha extended, due to Brooklyn no doubt, it seemed like forever since they'd been together. Now he would be coming and staying about 4 days, most of which he would spend with Brooklyn, Oliver knew. But he also anticipated the 3 of them getting to hang out some. Maybe he'd take them for a nice dinner and a show in Portland or something.

Knowing Brooklyn, I'd say the answer to that is...yes....But it's the only way to get her here without her suspecting anything. Oliver smiled. He knew that Brooklyn would flip and come right over, as soon as he sent the text to her. She and Kylie were thick as thieves. He had no doubt Brooklyn would rush to her friends aid.

As guests arrived, Oliver greeted them, introducing himself to the ones he didn't know, which was pretty much everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you Jesse, thank you for coming. He smiled and shook the young lady's dainty hand. Oh, gifts go on the cake table, to the right. he told her, and pointed to the area, then turned to greet the next guest. You must be Dominic! He stuck his hand out to the bulky American. Welcome, Welcome! Brooklyn talks a lot about you...wondering if my brother should be jealous. he winked. Make yourself, comfortable...grab a drink, appetizers coming out presently.

Oliver saw a young woman he didn't remember seeing around town before, and didn't remember inviting. But Kylie had handled some of the guest list too, so he assumed Brooklyn must have known her. Approaching, he put his hand out to her. Hello...I'm Oliver...hosting tonight. Please, make yourself comfortable, grab some food and something to drink. He told Zoe.

After a few more minutes, there were quite a few people milling about the place. Oliver approached Kylie. Is this everyone? When she affirmed it, Oliver smiled and pulled out his phone to text Brooklyn B....just went into the Saltwater to get a bite to eat...Kylie's here at the bar, DRUNK! Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient COME ANYWAY! - Oli He signed Oli without even thinking about it.

Alright everyone! May I have your attention? Oliver asked, as he stood on a chair to get everyone to quiet down. I just texted Brooklyn...We told her that Kylie here... He indicated her, for those who didn't at least know who she was, which was very few people in the room. is quite drunk....And if you know Kylie, you know that's quite impossible....So Brooklyn should be here presently. Be on the look out and when she comes in...we're all to yell SURPRISE! I love surprises, don't you all?! He laughed, rubbing his hands together. Alright, so if any of you see's her before I do... make sure you alert the group, before she comes in the door! Okay...have a lovely evening, and thank you for coming! Oliver got down off his chair and went to the window a few times to check for Brooklyn. Kylie was in place at the bar, which could be seen from the entrance and doing a marvelous job of looking intoxicated.

Once Oliver spotted her, he scurried into the dining room hushing everyone. Alright! She's here! Now as soon as she comes in view of the dinning room, everyone yell Surprise!

They all remained silent as they heard the door swing open. They could hear Brooklyn say Kylie's name and when she rushed into view, they did as instructed and a giant "SURPRISE" greeted Brooklyn. She looked quite startled and definitely, most surprised. Rushing over too her, grinning from ear to ear, Oliver spoke. Happy Birthday Brooklyn! It's a party...for you....A Surprise Party! Oliver gave her a hug and ushered her into the dinning room, where she was surrounded by a crowd of good friends.

( STATUS ) COMPLETE Brooklyn had only been home about twenty-four hours and she already felt an ache inside of her. She missed Tristan fiercely. She only got a few days with him as she had to come back to work but he promised to come back later on in January. And then she’d go back for Valentine’s Day and while there they’d figure out other days for them to each go one way or the other. For now, she was trying to focus on the gowns she was making for the Scott-Zakarian wedding. A maternity bridal gown, a bridesmaids dress and two mother of the bride dresses. Plus, she had her guy who did the tuxes scheduled to come in in a couple weeks and another bride who wanted a consultation. Basically the nest month to month and a half was insanely busy for her. Which was probably good. Keeping busy would allow Brooklyn to think of something other then missing Tristan. The exhaustion helped too. She was moving through the shop in a daze today as she tried to get her work done. All the fabric had come in for the gowns so Brooklyn was cutting the patterns. The bride’s gown would be the trickiest one to do as she hadn’t done a maternity gown before but she was up for the challenge. She spent the day holed up in the back room cutting the fabric herself. That and it gave her peace form what today was. Her birthday. Brooklyn hated to celebrate her birthday. She didn’t do it a lot growing up and hated to be fussed over. Some of her employees had gotten her flowers which was sweet and she thanked them. Just after she hid away to work. And if people weren’t talking ot her about her birthday, her phone was blowing up with people wanting to hear about everything that had happened in London. She’d eventually tlel people-ie kylie and sydni-but not right now. Especially since she hadn’t been able to get ahold of Tristan which was weird. He should be awake still and she was pretty sure he didn’t have a performance tonight. There wasn’t even a text. She tried to brush it off though and just focus on her work. Long after her employees had gone home, Brooklyn was still out back working. She was working on pinning together the dress for the bridesmaids as that would be the easiest one. It was short and cinched up all around the skirt. As she worked at the cinches her phone went off. Again. With a half sigh, half grunt she reached for it. Confusion riddled Brooklyn’s face. Kylie? Drunk? Well that just didn’t make sense but that is clearly what oliver said. She glanced at the dress and then let out an exasperated sigh. Kylie was one of her three closest friends. She just couldn’t ignore this. Brooklyn’s winter jacket was in her car so she just grabbed her purse and headed out for her vehicle. The drive wasn’t that far thankfully. On the drive she called Cameron. “hey, dink, what did you do? Oliver sent me a text saying kylie is drunk and the only reason she’d hve to get drunk is you. I swear cameron, I will use my gun if need be.”Brooklyn hung up. Ok, probably not good to call him considering she was seriously sleep deprived and stressed with working on the gowns for the upcoming wedding. But what’s done is done. Brooklyn parked the car, forgetting about her jacket and purse. Her hand gripped around her phone as she dashed inside. She wasn’t entirely unprotected from the cold weather. She had a black blazer over her sapphire colored dress, a dress made of thicker jersey fabric. Her ballet flats clicked as she moved across the sidewalk and yanked open the door. Her swung as she moved through the restaurant. “Kylie? What the hell hap-” Brooklyn jumped as she entered the dining room. There was a large group of people gathered. A large group of her friends shouting ‘SURPRISE!’ Her back tensed as she turned to run from the area but Oliver was there. She half hugge dhim as she laughed tensely. “I see that. You shouldn’t have. Really, oliver, you shouldn’t have.” not only did she not enjoy celebrating her birthday but how could she have fun without Tristan here. With a sigh, she gave up fighting and moved into the dining area. She smiled at everyone as she blushed brightly. This was very much unexpected. <3

[KYLIE BRIDGET STOWE]

Kylie smiled up at Cameron, he eyes locking with his own, as his arm wrapped firmly around her small frame. Well if you get too tired, I'll just have to take you home early and tuck you in, and sing you lullabies until you fall asleep. She teased, then stood on her tip toes to plant a kiss on his lip. Despite being in heels, she still had to stand like that to kiss him. But Kylie didn't mind. She liked having someone that was so much taller then her. She thought it made them look even cuter then they already did. What Kylie liked best when they were out together, was the jealous eyes over other girls falling over them and her getting to smile back at them with that sweet "Sorry ladies, he's mine...and no...he has no brothers" look. But Kylie never told anyone she enjoyed that, because she thought it might make her sound arrogant.

Kylie smiled nervously, her eyes getting big, as he asked about Brooklyn's reaction. I have no idea on that one. She laughed a little. Brooklyn was unpredictable. This could either come off, really well, or really bad. Kylie wasn't sure that there would be an in between. The only thing that could be said for certain, was that Brooklyn would be surprised.

When they saw yer pull in, Oliver gave the cue for everyone to take their places. The guests all in the dining room, and Kylie at the bar with 4 empty bottles and one half full, just to make it believable. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Brooklyn come running in and heard her start to speak, her words interrupted by the slue of guests yelling "SURPRISE", causing her to jump. Kylie laughed as Oliver came running over to her, arms outstretched and embraced her. Kylie made her way over and gave her best friend a warm hug. Happy Birthday girl! She succumbed to hysterical laughter for a moment. Ohhh Brooklyn! Your face....PRICELESS! Simply Priceless!

"oh, i wouldn't miss it." even if she wasn't extremely close with brooklyn. she looked to where he was pointing and thanked him as she picked the bag up again and walked over to the cake table, which already had a few gifts on it. if jesse had been paying attention, she would have noticed it.

she moved to get a drink next, just water for right then. jesse watched as oliver greeted the rest of the guests, noting how well he was handling it. she had heard of him through brooklyn, but had never met him before. after a few minutes it seemed that everyone had arrived. she smiled as oliver stood up on a chair to get everyone's attention. as if he wasn't tall enough already. she moved a bit closer, listening to what he had to say. jesse laughed, a long with a few other people, at his exclamation about surprises. he was a funny guy. she kept an eye out for brooklyn, taking frequent sips from her water glass.

jesse held her breath as they heard brooklyn approaching. she yelled 'surprise' along with everyone else, laughing at the startled look on her face as she completely hadn't suspected any of it. she eventually made her way to brooklyn, giving her a big hug. "happy birthday, hun," jesse told her with a big smile, hoping she'd enjoy herself.

dominic figured he should approach the guy heading it all up, and made his way to oliver. he seemed like a real nice guy. "yep, that's me," he replied with a laugh as he shook his hand. "oh, does she?" he knew the guy was just teasing and went along with it. "maybe," dominic said with a grin, though his and brooklyn's relationship wasn't and never would be like that. even if she had been single. "thanks." he did as he was told, first removing his coat, then headed over to get a drink.

it wasn't long before oliver was asking everyone to listen up, informing them of the plan. dominic was happy for brooklyn, but at the same time knew she'd be upset by all this. parties were bad enough, but surprise ones were even worse. still, he wouldn't have missed it. he continued to sip at his drink, not bothering to keep a look out for her, since pretty much everyone else already was. oliver spotted her first, however, alerting everyone to quiet down and get ready to surprise her. and boy was brooklyn surprised. dominic waited his turn, finally getting up to her and giving her one of his big hugs. "happy birthday, you," he told her, knowing she was extremely uncomfortable and not happy about this at all. he leaned in closer to whisper in her ear. "don't be a stooge. it's a party. enjoy yourself." dominic stepped back, grinning at her and ruffling her hair a little. he'd been teasing, of course, when he called her a stooge, but he really hoped that she'd have a nice time.

The girl could be vicious. Which is why he was dreading the way they were going to lure her to the bar. Cameron already knew he’d be in trouble even though he was doing nothing wrong! He’d take it though. Cameron would do it for his friends. He understood why they were doing this. Brooklyn had sort of brought them all together. Her and her grandmother always made a point to get to know people in town. That led to him dating Kylie as well as his budding friendship with Oliver. Otherwise, none of their paths may have ever crossed. She was like some tornado. At first it was a giant path of destruction but when the chaos calmed, people drew together and became closer. Cameron would be forever grateful to her for that. He wouldn’t have the woman in his arms otherwise. ”I may take you up on that offer. I mean unless you’re to drunk to come home with me. I’m sure Brooklyn will have no issues keeping your inebriated self from my grasp.” Cameron couldn’t help but make light of the situation conserving he was going to get hell for it. Around the time Oliver announced he had texted Brooklyn and what he told her, Cameron’s phone went off. He laughed loudly seeing who was calling. ”Oliver you are a dead man.” He let it go to voicemail then turned the speakerphone on so both Kylie and Oliver could hear. His brows shot up in amusement when she talked about using her gun on him. ”Oh I think it’ll be best if I’m at the back of the group. I’ve seen her at the shooting rang. The girl can hit her target.” Having a Marine father did that after all. Stand at the back of the group Cameron did do. He had to stifle his laughter as he watched Kylie attempt to be drunk. His hand pressed to his mouth to keep from doing so. When she came in, he yelled out with the rest of the group and couldn’t help but let out a few claps. He slowly mad ehis way up to hug her. ”Please, don’t shoot me. I will tell you the two people to use that gun on if you want practice though.” He felt someone punch his arm and he rubbed out it. ”Ow, really? I wasn’t going to tell her this was the master plan of you and Oliver.” Cameron grinned playfully as he moved to grab some lemonade next, letting Kylie have a moment with her best friend.

( STATUS ) COMPLETE Brooklyn wasn’t trying to seem like she wasn’t appreciative of this party just it was a lot. She hadn’t been home long enough to adjust fully to Maine schedule. While she wasn’t fully on London time, she was enough to where she was tired right now. And she was stressed with having to put together the pieces for this upcoming wedding. And she had never really had a big birthday party before. Despite the overwhelming feelings she was having, she was trying to get in the “party mood”. A glass of soda was grabbed in order to do so. After her drunken disaster she decided to cut way back on he alcohol. Perhaps later Brooklyn would have a glass of something but not just yet. Brooklyn let out a nervous laugh as she turned to Kylie. “I bet it was.” Brooklyn hugged each person in turn who came up to her. She squeezed jesse’s hands, glad to see her out of the shop. “is landon coming or did someone finally detach your hips from one another?” it really was adorable how jesse and landon were always together. Brooklyn felt jealous because she couldn’t have that as often with Tristan. Yes, when he was around they’d probably spend all their time together but the long stretches in between would be torture on her. Actually, she felt a little hurt right now as she hadn’t even gotten a birthday text from Tristan. While she wasn’t a selfish girl it would’ve lifted her spirits to get one from him. Her smile must have faltered because dominic was telling her to enjoy herself. “this coming from the eternal brooding man? Right….” Brooklyn wrapped an arm around Dominic’s waist and leaned into him. He was her best guy friend and had been since they were teenagers. Though she had only spent summers out here until recently, they had become close. After all, their families knew one another from the couple years her and her family had lived here fully. “how’s my little munchkin? I’m working on some new dresses for her.” Brooklyn liked to take the extra fabric pieces from gowns she created to make everleigh things. Be it princess and fairy dresses for dress up or something special for the holidays or her birthday. Brooklyn hoped one day she could have a little girl of her own to do that for. When she saw cameron, she peeled away from dominic to hug cameron. “yeah sorry about that. But hey-at least you are prepared for how I’ll react if you did ever do anything to kylie.” she shrugged playfully while she chuckled. That chuckle grew into a full blown laugh when cameron said that kylie and oliver were the masterminds behind this. “oh well the flwoers make sense now. Sorry oliver but you don’t seem like one who could pick out a slower arrangement.” Brooklyn caught sight of a girl in the crowd she didn’t recognize-Zoe-and she beamed. “hi there! Don’t let this group of nimmys scare you away. I’m Brooklyn.” <3
