"Stop biting the plastic off of your nails, you'll be fine," Atlas groaned, slapping my hand away from my mouth.
"Whatever, just hurry up. We're already late," I snapped, pushing him forwards.
My nerves were building up, I don't think I'm in the right state of mind to see any of them. I don't even know if everyone is coming and it's making my stomach twist into knots.
"Fucking hell, the line is huge," Atlas rumbled, snapping me out of my thoughts.
A smirk appeared on my lips, "Follow me." I dragged him to the front of the line once we reached the security guard.
"Hello, the name's Alora Cole. I believe my company reserved the VIP section of the club for me tonight," I smiled at the large security guard.
He blushed slightly as he took in my appearance, making Atlas growl under his breath. "O-f course, Ms. Cole. What a pleasure to have you," he grinned slightly before letting Atlas and I inside.
"How did you do that?" Atlas chuckled. "You can get in anywhere if you're known, darling," I winked and began looking around for the guys.
Once my eye caught Theo's he smiled at me, waving me over. I couldn't see anyone there, all I managed to see is Theo since they were all sitting in a booth. "Come on," I sarcastically cheered to Atlas and walked over to them.
"Theo!" I squealed and he stood up, bringing me into a hug.
"Oh my- Alora, is that actually you?" He praised me as he brought me into another hug. "Atlas, oh hello," he nervously stated as he pulled away to greet his twin.
This gave me an opportunity to take in who's here, my heart sank slightly as I saw my old friends before me - Leona, Blaise, some girl, Isobel, Pansy and Astoria - great.
And then, I saw him. Our eyes locked as I noticed he was sitting next to his wife, an arm over her shoulder. His eyes melted into mine and I blinked, looking away before the tears came.
"Hi," I smiled shyly as I waved at everyone there. I wasn't close with any of them anymore, including Theo. They all waved at me in an awkward manner except Leona and Draco.
"Well, sit sit. We want to know how you've been doing," Theo claps his hands as he makes room for me to sit next to him and Atlas after.
I chuckled slightly as I stared at them all, mainly Theo. "Well, I just had a movie released and I'm going to be walking for Chanel soon," I explained and most of the girls' eyes popped at the word 'Chanel'.
"Oh wow! Clarice loves Chanel, spent nearly my whole salary on a bag," Blaise scoffed. I assumed the girl next to him was Clarice, considering no one bothered introducing her.
I nodded my head, "Yes well got a busy schedule." The table went silent slightly until Atlas spoke up, "Since you all asked, I'm working in the American ministry."
Everyone sipped their drinks which they already ordered as they didn't know what to say. "I heard about your father, Alora. Such a shame," Astoria spoke up after a while, sending me the fakest smile ever.
"Yes, it's tough. I heard about your infertility, I love to see karma finally catching up to you," I smiled as I winked at her.
Her face melted and her eyes shot daggers at me as she gripped Draco's hand but I smirked to myself. "What a burn," Leona scoffed. I turned to her to see her holding back a smile as she sipped her drink.
This was becoming too awkward for my liking. "Excuse me?" I spoke u[, gathering the waiter's attention who's eyes popped once they saw me.
"My name's Alora Cole. I was wondering if the VIP section has any room for my friends and I, I'd be happy to give you my boss's name," I smiled innocently at the young boy.
He shook his head shoving the plates into his coworker, "No, please follow me. I'm sure my boss would allow it."
I smirked before pushing Atlas out of the booth and turning to the others who's eyes were widened. "Are you coming or am I going to be getting drunk alone?" They all shot up and followed after me.

"Fucking hell, Alora. This place is amazing," Blaise gaped as he held a cocktail in his hand. They all clinked their glasses together before drinking.
I raised my glass in the air and brought it to my lips before I heard someone clear their throat, I looked up to be met with Leona's eyes, "Mind if I speak to you over there?"
I nodded my head before getting up. "We may need to call the Aurors soon," Theo joked as he held onto his girlfriend's waist.
Rolling my eyes, I followed my old friend over to the back of the night club. "Look Leona, if you want to talk about what happened I really am over it. It was years ago and I don't hold a grudge," I said.
I expected her to shout or scream but what took me by surprise was the way she wrapped her arms around me, I just stood there like a gnome not knowing what to do. "Are you trying to kill me?"
She pulled away, chuckling, "I'm trying to say sorry. I really miss you Alora and not seeing or speaking to each other for almost three years is just ridiculous."
"I know but I guess I should've just heard you or tried to listen to what you were-"
She placed a finger on my lips in an attempt to shush me, "No. I've come to terms with everything and it was partially my fault. I shouldn't have even gone to their-"
"Leona, please stop. It was 50-50, I was obviously upset and I lashed out on your due to the loss. You had every right to go, you really did and I promise I'm over it," I smiled.
She looked at me before opening her arms out, waiting for me to hug her. I rolled my eyes before accepting her hug. "I missed you, dumb whore," she giggled into my shoulder.
"I miss you more, bitch."
"Shall we go and get drunk like the old days? " She winked as she linked her arm through mine.
"Old days? It's only been three years, we're not there yet mate," I giggled as I dragged us back to everyone else.

Okay, I know nothing makes too much sense right now but I promise you'll understand everything which happened during those three years. Especially Leona and Alora's fallout, it links to something big :)
I apologise once again for my lack of updating, I've had such an awful night and then today was just as bad. I love you all tho <3
