What happens when you go back to the roots that you thought were never going to help you make you happy?
Nastasia Casey never felt like Charming would be the place to return to, but she did.
And when she comes across some unexpected trouble, she mus...

We walked down with huge grins on our faces and instantly lit up when we saw Jacey and Bay snapping Selfies.
"Can we get our own photo shoot with our Besties?!", I yelled as my Mom smiled before closing the door to the sitting room where I'm sure my Dad sat. Bayleigh's blonde hair was in a slick top knot and her outfit was perfect. "You trying to get lucky, girlllll!", I snapped my fingers in a Z shape. The group laughed loudly then we all made sure we were set for the night before going out to the car.
Seeing as there weren't many taxis in Charming, I got us a rental luxury van with a driver.
"Where to, Ladies?"
I handed him the address list that Mick had made up for me earlier. We sat back and enjoyed the comfortable leather seats with their heating and amazing softness.

We made it to Lodi and hopped out at the first club for the night. Giving the driver instructions to pick us up in an hour, we headed to the front entrance. A long ass line was in front of this club called Stars. It had a tacky name and from the looks of it a nice little setup when we walked in skipping most of the rejected bunch.
"Three shots then the dancefloor," Mickey said.
The three of us looked at her like she had grown three heads. She held her hands up.
"It eases any tension that your body has been through. Drink up! Let loose...."
"She's right," Jacey stated along with my baby sister. I figured she'd side with her but I didn't know if taking three shots was necessary. "We did come to party, Nastasia."
"It's Stasi! And what the hell, right? I'm back and I need to get over it!"
With a deep sigh and an excited nod from the whole circle, we headed to the bar after stepping around grinding, sweaty bodies. I sang along to the song as Bay ordered the drinks.
We did a countdown with our fingers before downing the first which was a shot of Hennessey. The second a shot of Vodka. The third; Patron. I literally coughed but kept my liquor in check.
"Dancefloor!", Bay dragged me by my arm but first I pulled down my skirt a little before it rose up and flashed a few people.
So for the first twenty minutes of being on the dancefloor, I was groped by five different people including Bay as we danced with each other. Honestly I wanted to stay close because something told me I wasn't ready to fixate on someone else.
Something hard and muscular closed in on and around me. My eyes widened in worry but Bay shook her head and gave me a thumbs up. I nearly growled at her for leaving me.
"What's a sexy woman like you doing here all by yourself?"
"I'm with my friends."
"Unless your friends are taking you to bed tonight why don't we have a little chat at my table over there?"
I hated men who automatically assumed a pretty girl was easy enough to give up the goods on their first meeting.
"Kindly remove your hands from me before I drop kick your ass," I gritted out as I turned around to give him a view of my sexiness. He raised his hands as if I had a gun pointed at him. "Ma, no harm. I just wanted to see if the candy was as sweet as it looked," The handsome stranger was too cocky for his own good. Then I saw he was with his buddies who were high giving and snickering as they watched us. Oh, they wanted a show.
My hand went up to punch him landing directly on his nose which made a nasty crunching noise. When he clutched his nose in pain, I kneed him in the junk. Before he fell to the floor, I leaned down to his ear.
"It's sweet, but it can also get really really nasty when it needs to."
Before I could make it to the bar, Bay grabbed me by the arm and led me to the women's restroom.
"Mind telling me what the hell was that, Stasi? I mean that looked very aggressive from where I was standing."
"I'm not about to let some asshole who probably bet on me get away with treating me like the next bitch on the block. He deserved what he got."
"I need another drink," Bay huffed.
"I need another club," I huffed back in annoyance.
She pointed to the door and I turned to walk out having her follow me. I wasn't about to fight anyone else. He just annoyed the fuck out of me.

After nearly three clubs, I was still energetic yet sloppy drunk. We decided to go to a hotel and just chill out.
Mickey and Jacey passed out as soon as we entered the room and spotted the bed.
I played with Bay's hair until she handed me her phone out of nowhere. I took it with drunk excitement.
"What do I do?", I squealed.
"Call Jax. Call him now and tell him he needs you. Then- Then tell him that you lo-love him," Bay's words were slurred and she was leaning to the right but I didn't do anything but giggle and agree to her words.
So I pulled up her Contacts and pressed Jax's number.
"How did you know his number?", I questioned as an afterthought.
Bay had fallen to the floor in a messy heap. Her blonde hair covered her face and I was pretty sure she was asleep. I laughed loudly for no reason in particular even as Jax's phone stopped ringing.
"Hello."
"Hi, sleepy pants. What are you doing up so late?"
