Lexi, Lily and Kat finally made it to the Halloween party after taking the long way there. It wasn't like they wanted to take the long way, but Suze had gotten lost on the way there. The girls walked through the door together and was immediately hit in the face with smoke and the strong smell of beer being spilled all over the place. Lily had no idea where she was or whose house she was at. She looked over at Lexi who was already smiling at Jules and Rue, who were standing by the kitchen.

Lily and Lexi made their way towards them, but Kat had separated herself by walking the other way. Lily looked back to see where her friend was heading, however Kat got lost in the sea of students. They both made their way towards Jules and Rue, who happened to be already a little tipsy. Especially Jules.

'Hey' Lexi said with a giant smile, 'Where is Maddy and Cassie?'

Rue looked over to Lexi and screamed, 'I don't know!? Maybe they are with Mckay and Cole'

Lily didn't blame Rue for screaming and yelling to speak over the loud music, which was screaming back into their ears. Jules had begun to pour Lily a drink when she felt somebody come right behind her. Josh Davis had come behind Lily and decided to wrap his arm around her.

'Hey Yoko' Josh laughed

Lily jumped forward when she saw Josh... well John Lennon standing in front of her. She stood there amazed with his costume and how much he pulled it off. Glasses and the flat hair made Lily chuckle.

'Here Lily' Jules smiled as she handed her a drink

Josh watched Jules hand her the drink and quickly moved beside Lily. Lily took a sip of her drink when Josh decided to go see Ethan. The girls didn't really have a problem with it, which meant they didn't care if Josh was there or not. On the other hand, Lily was enjoying his company and was a little taken back by his short introduction.

'Okay' Lily said as she watched Josh zig zag his way through all of the people.

In the same moment, Lily's attention was now focused on Nate Jacobs who already had a girl on the counter making out with her. Lily tried to turn her attention away and not stare, but she couldn't help it. He was kissing Jessica Sutton and had her legs wrapped around his waist. Lily knew of Jessica, but she wasn't that close with her. Jess was definitely more closer with Cassie and Maddy. Lily turned around to face Lexi who was also looking over at Nate and Jess.

'Is he really making out with her?' Lexi asked with a scoff, 'I feel like she's been with everyone'

'That's a bit slut shaming' Jules commented

'I'm not slut shaming her' Lexi said defensively, 'I'm just telling the truth. She's been with a lot of guys in our year and above'

Lily didn't really like this conversation about Nate and Jess, but she didn't really have a choice but to listen. She decided to turn around to see Jessica standing by Nate and trying to grab his attention again. However, he was looking over at one of his friends. Lily took the time to check out his costume while he wasn't looking. His costume seemed like he was a prisoner or some weird vintage criminal. Nate turned back around to Jessica, but Lily saw him giving her a bit of a side eye. She felt her heart race for a second. She had no idea why Nate made her so nervous all the time. Was it from the carnival with his rude comments? Was it from the night he was being nice and took her home? Was it because of Jules and his dad? Lily really had no idea why Nate would always lit a fire in her stomach.

'I'm going to go find Kat' Lexi said, 'You coming?'

It was like Lexi knew Lily needed to get out of there. Lily nodded as she followed her sister towards the kitchen. However, Lily was grabbed by Jessica.

'Lily hi!' Jessica screamed in joy, 'I haven't seen you in ages!'

Lily stood there a little in shock and surprise because she didn't really speak to Jess. The only time Lily ever interacted with her was when she was with Maddy, Cassie and even BB. Jessica stood there staring at Lily like she was naked or killing someone right in front of her. In this moment, Lily knew she was high on something or extremely drunk.

'Yes I know!' Lily smiled trying to play along with this 'fakeness' or the 'I think I know you but you're still a stranger'.

'I love your outfit' Jessica giggled, 'Are you a witch or something?'

'It's...' Lily trailed off but Nate cut her off

'It's Yoko Ono' Nate corrected Jessica, 'You know The Beatles?'

'Oh right!' Jessica responded with a clear confused expression

Lily looked up at Nate as he was looking straight back at her. She took in a deep breath before saying goodbye to both of them. However, Nate had grabbed her arm this time and managed to pull her away from Jessica.

'What are you doing?' Lily asked as she pulled her arm away from him

'I just wanted to talk to you' Nate stated, 'Look I'm sorry for what I said at the carnival'

Lily felt the fire begin to light and burn throughout her stomach. She didn't expect for him to even speak to her tonight, let alone apologize.

'It's fine' Lily said softly

'I just didn't expect for you to be with Josh' Nate said as moved in closer to her

Lily looked up at him for the second time tonight. He was leading over her while she had her back on the wall. The main thing about Nate Jacobs which stood out like a thumb would be his height. He was freakishly tall and compared to Lily, he was towing over her.

'It's not a big deal' Lily stated

'Yoko and John Lennon' he chuckled, 'Seems serious to me'

Lily couldn't tell if he was joking around or if he was being serious. That was one thing about Nate that she didn't seem to understand. He could pull off a really good poker face.

'I should get to Lexi' Lily said without commenting on the 'serious couple' suggestion.

'I need ask you something' Nate brought up, 'I don't know how to start this but I'm just going to be blunt. Do you know about Jules and my dad?'

Lily's heart dropped and she felt herself immediately sweating through her dress. He knew?

'I don't know what you mean?' Lily lied

'I think you do' Nate responded standing closer to her face

He was so close now that she could feel his hot breath on her face. There was no way she was going to rat out Jules, but she was curious as to why he was asking and how he knew about it.

'I don't' Lily stated as she shifted away from him, 'I should go'

She walked away from him and turned to find her sister. She could feel her heart still racing and his subtle breath was stuck to her face like a tattoo.

'Hey hey' Josh teased her, 'I tried to find you'

Lily just laughed and he went on, 'What were you and Nate Jacobs talking about?'

'Oh nothing' Lily lied again, 'We were just talking about class'

Josh nodded and shrugged his shoulders. He didn't really seem to care about it. Lily noticed this and breathed in a sign of relief.

'I just saw your sister' Josh stated, 'She's with Kat and Ethan'

Lily nodded and smiled at Josh. He grabbed her hand tightly as she followed him out of the kitchen. In the same moment, she decided to look back to see Nate following her with his eyes. His eyes followed her subtly but Lily noticed. She always noticed.Β
