Forty-One
BJ
Julian Haites throws these legendary New Year’s Eve parties.
Wild, truly insane.
Celebrities try to get on the list for them.
Kygo played last year.
I think this year he’s got David Guetta.
He just has it at his house in Knightsbridge. House is underselling it. His dad bought about five houses in a row and made them into one.
This is where the party is.
I arrive with Jordan — thought twice about bringing her but I haven’t heard from Parks since two nights ago so I’m going to take a leaf out of her book and dig myself a little Australian foxhole.
Boys have been off me a bit though. Henry’s not talking to me, really. Probably should be angry that he’s always on her side, but part of me is relieved she’s got someone I trust. Rather him in her corner than Rush fucking Evans, that’s for sure.
Kind of thought I’d see Parks here tonight… Pretty dress and stolen glances — get to spend New Year’s with her anyway.
Thought she’d come around, we always come around.
Special occasion big-shit events for me and her are pretty hard to resist — I drifted to her Christmas Day, she’ll drift back to me on New Year’s.
I’m a bit disappointed when I walk in and she’s not with the set.
Taura lifts her eyebrows as an unenthusiastic greeting — off me too, I guess.
Jo whispers something to her, she looks at him, looks a bit annoyed and then nods.
Walks up to Jordan, puts on a warm smile. “Love that dress—” Taura tells her.
“Oh, thanks.” Jordan pushes her hair over her shoulders. “It’s from Self Portrait.”
“Should we grab a drink—” Taura links arms with her. “Jonah tells me that BJ’s been a right idiot lately.” Leads her away.
I watch them go — peer over at my friends.
“Oi,” Jonah saddles up next to me. “We’ve gotta talk—”
“Is it about Parks?” The leading Jordan away was a bit of a giveaway.
“Yeah—”
“Don’t want to hear it.”
Christian gives me a weird look. “Yeah, you do.”
I glance at him, frowning. “She hurt?”
“No—”
“Is she in danger—” Jo looks over, catches Christian’s eye before he shakes his head.
“No... but—”
