"You spoke to Shawn?" Coop asked Madison

"Nope, not since the last time I saw him," Madison said

"Well you know he just got an interview with one of JP's friends today," Coop said

"Like I regular job?" Madison asked

"Yeah, you should give him a call," Coop said

"Yeah okay, maybe I will," Madison said as Lucas came walking toward them with JJ

"Hey, Madison," JJ said

"Hey JJ," Madison said

"How's my boy treating you?" JJ asked

"He's doing fine thank you for bringing him back," Madison said

"Yeah, no problem," JJ said

"How's your dates?" Madison asked

"They're having fun," JJ said

"Oh, you are the guy who brought those two girls as your dates," Coop said

"Yeah, he couldn't decide," Lucas said

"I am surprised you got them both to agree to that," Madison said

"They're okay with it their friends I think," JJ said

"We'll that cool umm Lucas you want to dance?" Madison asked

"Yeah," Lucas said as he held out his hand for Madison to take and guided her to the dance floor.

—-Meanwhile In the hallway—-

"Babe. What do you want to talk about?" Asher asked after Layla brought them both out into the hallway.

"Look, I'm so sorry. You and me, it's, It's not gonna work anymore." Layla said

"You're choosing my teammate over me?" Asher asked in disbelief

"I'm not choosing Spencer. I'm choosing myself. That's the point. Look, Ash, if we're being honest, we probably should have done this a while ago. We've both been through so much with my mom passing and your mom leaving and the whole money thing. Maybe we've just been holding onto each other for the wrong reasons." Layla said

"Wow. So you're just gonna do whatever you please, huh? Everyone else's feelings be damned? There's more of your father in you than I thought." Asher said

"Hey, um, you've been drinking and you're hurt. Maybe you should just go home." Layla told Asher

"Why would I leave, Layla? The party's just getting started." Asher said walking back to the dance leaving her just standing there.

"J.J. Where's that flask, baby?" Asher asked

"Oh. Keep your voice down, bro." JJ said showing the flask to Asher

"Now we're talking," Asher said as he grabbed the flask making JJ laugh.

"Hey. It's party time. Drink up." Asher said making them both start to down different flasks as Olivia noticed and walked over to Asher worried.

"Maybe you should chill on the drinking," Olivia said

"I'm just getting started. What are you talking about?" Asher asked

"Look, I recognize a downward spiral when I see one," Olivia said

"No, no, no. See, you don't understand. I'm celebrating. Turns out Layla cheated with Spencer. We don't have anything to feel guilty about anymore, so cheers." Asher said and Olivia said nothing but just looked down.
