(A/N this chapter is mostly about Beth, so im warning you.)

Beth POV

(21:00)

I sighed as I sat down on one of the bars stools and ordered a drink.

I had one of my old friends, Erin, make me a fake ID so that i could get into this bar.

"Rough night?" A guy a few bar stools aways from me asked in an Australian accent.

"I guess you could say that." I answered, sitting up straight when I noticed the hunk of a man sitting in front of me.

"I'm Beth by the way." I greeted.

"Tyler." He said as he took a seat closer.

It's probably not a good idea to talk to a guy older than me at a bar that I don't even know the name of, but that doesn't matter.

"So what happened?" He asked.

"Family problems." I answered which was actually kind of true.

My father has been pressuring me a lot more lately. What would he think if he saw me in a bar talking to an older guy?

"How old are you exactly?" He asked. "You look kinda young." He added.

"22?" I lied.

He chuckled and shook his head. He made a 'tsk' noise and pointed a finger at me. "You think im that stupid, love? Im assuming.. minor?" He squinted an eye.

"18, actually." I corrected him. "Officially an adult."

"Aren't you a little young to be drinking at a bar?"

"Well, in England i had to be eighteen so I'll just use that excuse." I smiled mockingly and took a sip of my alcoholic drink.

"Okay then." He said as he downed his drink and ordered another one.

"You're not gonna tell anyone, are you?" I asked him.

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me." He winked.

I gave him a smile and laid my cheek on my hand, leaning over to get a good look at him. He had light brown hair that was shaped up in a quiff. However, there was a stand of hair that flopped on his forehead adorably. He looked presentable with a tired look in his eyes. Talking about his eyes, he had the lightest shade of brown eyes, almost sand coloured. Went in great comparison to my green eyes. We'd make a good couple if i say so myself.

His stubble just made him more attractive, but definitely hinted hes quite a bit older than me. At that, i waved my hopes goodbye and bit my lip, squinting at him as i tried figuring out his age.

He was wearing a white v neck that was followed by a black leather jacket. So not over 30 i think. No grandpa would go around dressed like that.

I looked down at my own outfit.

For the first time in a really long time, i had decided to put on make up. After a long day I decided to try and look pretty. Couldn't be more proud of my decision, having met this specimen in front of me.

I was also wearing a black leather jacket, that covered up my loose dark blue tank top. We looked like we matched, black leather jacket, black jeans. Its like it was meant to be. I smiled mischievously at that.

"I never asked how old you are." I stated.

"Uh, I'm 26." He answered.

My eyes widened.

"You don't look like it." I said.

"Why? Do i look older?" He teased.

"No, it's not that. You just look really young." I said, grinning at him.

"So do you." He stated.

"Yeah, because i am."

"Are you calling me old?" He joked.

I raised an eyebrow. "So what if i was?"

He chuckled.

"I like you, you're funny." He said.

"Yeah, i know" i said as i gulped down the rest of my drink.

"You should probably slow down on the drinks." He suggested.

"Why should i?" I raised an eyebrow, leaning closer to him. "You said you'll keep my secret sir, dont break your promise now." I whispered. "Plus i wanna get drunk of my ass tonight."

"Very well then. I'll help you." He said.

I frowned at him.

What did he mean.

He called the bartender and said; "A round of shots please. Keep them coming."

<><><><><>

I downed the last shot and slammed it back on the table as i jumped up.

"I won." I spun around in a little dance. "Aw do you need a bib?" I asked him mockingly as i pouted.

"Im sorry I can't consume alcohol as fast as you. I guess i am getting old." He joked.

I laughed.

"Another round?" I asked.

"Honey you should be on the ground right now." The woman that was also taking shots with us said.

"I am not even drunk, my tolerance is way up here," i said as i jumped again with my hand in the air to make my point. (TVD REFERENCE ANYONE?!)

Tyler laughed at that.

"Wanna go play pool?" He asked.

"Ooo, yes. Lets go." I said excitedly.

<><><><>

"I told you I'd win!" I said energetically as i walked outside.

"Hey, i never said anything. So, did you call an uber?" He asked.

"Yup, it should be here any minute." I said as i looked around.

"Well, it was nice meeting you?" He said awkwardly, jutting out a hand for me to shake.

I stared at it before i let out a giggle.

"You are so awkward!" I teased him as i laughed.

"I'm sorry okay? It runs in the family.." He mumbled the last part.

A car honk pulled us out of our trance as i notices the uber guy waiting for me, annoyed.

"Well, i hope to see you again." Tyler said.

I smiled and nodded my head.

"Likewise."

We stood there for a minute until the car honked again.

"It looks like you have to go. Goodnight love." He said as he smiled warmly.

I nearly melted right there on the spot.

Australian accents are way better than British accents.

Not really much of a difference, but it is a still very different. I was swooning on the inside.

"Uh, bye." I said lamely as i scurried off . I almost stumbled and fell right on my face but i stabilised myself and let out a whine in embarrassment, knowing Tyler was still watching. I got in the car and quickly shut the door behind me, hand coming up to cover my red cheeks.

<><><><><>

As soon as i got home, i sneaked in my room, making sure my parents wouldn't hear me.

That was...fun. Very fun. Now, i have to sleep and prepare my self for my sister's arrival.

Great.

So i took off the make up, changed into my pajamas and went to sleep.

<><><><>

"Beth, honey wake up. Your sister is here and wants to see you." My mother said sweetly.l as she shook me awake.

"Awesome. Tell her to wait 5 more minutes..." I said before i quickly added "or hours."

My mom sighed. "I didn't want it to come to this." She said.

I immediately woke up to be greeted by a bucket of water.

"Thanks a lot mother." I groaned as I reluctantly got out of bed.

"Even school would be better right now."

Sofia POV

I had just found out the school was closed today, so I decided to go over to Beth's house.

Selena had also joined me, claiming that Jasmine would be coming back today and she wanted to see her. So, I didn't say anything. It was quite awkward though. You would think that after her telling me everything, that we would be closer. But we're not. It's just more awkward now.

I feel so guilty that even looking at her makes me want to apologize over and over.

"So, where did you go yesterday?" Selena asked.

I was surprised to hear her voice so i jumped a little.

"Uh, Alec came over and took me to get ice cream." I said.

"Alec huh?" She said as she wiggled her eye brows.

"It's not like that. He has a girlfriend." I said with a hint of disappointment.

"And you don't like that?" She asked.

"I'm happy for him obviously." I said, leaving it at that.

"But are you happy?" She questioned.

"Why are asking me these things?"

"Because i know you, and i know you still have that silly crush on him."

I sighed at that. How the hell does everyone know?

"Yeah well it doesn't matter. He doesn't like me and he never will." I said.

I always knew that. So why did I accept when Justin told me the deal, god knows.
