She felt the cold touch on her shoulder as the music muffled in her ears, she turned around to see george holding his drink and looking down at the girl in concern. "Are you okay?" he asked, looking at her as her cup shook slightly in her hands. "Yeah, i just need a second from the music," she responded, looking around for somewhere to sit. George seemed to notice as he grabbed her hand and walked over to a bench.

The two of them were the only ones in the lobby. It was empty almost deserted but you could still here the music booming through the lounge. "How are you?" George asked breaking the silence between them, lani turned to look at him, the lights finally not being disoriented gave her the advantage to see him clearly despite her foggy vision. "I'm good, good as I can be for a girl who lost her dad," she immediately slapped her hand over her mouth, it was normal for her to usually cope with her trauma with jokes but this was the first one she made about her dad.

George's eyes widened as he looked over the girl as her hand slowly slid off her face. "He would've laughed at that," lani chuckled, George awkwardly laughed after before taking a sip of his drink. "Yeah I don't do the whole feelings thing just trying my best," george said aloud as he rubbed the back of his neck. "So Georgie," lani teased causing george to look over at her with a stern face, "why are you out here with me?" she asked despite the look on his face, but it soon dropped as he registered the question.

"We had a deal land, and this is a party isn't it?" George looked at her with a stupid grin, "what's the catch?" she asked as the rim of her cup met her lips. "Well I have a panel tomorrow afternoon, so i'm not sure," George responded, "well georgie i think we should get back in there," she stood up from the bench and held her hand out, he grabbed her hand and she pulled him up and they made their way back into the lounge.

"Lani weve been looking for you!" a drunk sapnap shouted, he had his arm tugged around dream who was laughing hysterically. "Why have you been looking for me?" she asked looking up at the two, george standing at her side. "We need a third, these people wanna VS us in a shot gun off," sapnap responded, lani began chuckling but nodded in agreement, george cheered the three of them on.

"Who are we VS?" lani asked as they all made their way through the crowd and to the table that was set out. "Some tiktokers," dream responded as they all got there. Lani looked across the table to see angelo standing there, and more importantly sarah's hand running through his hair as he stood there. "So you three VS us three!" sapnap shouted, the group around them cheered. Lani felt her body tense up as she looked at angelo both him and sarah giving her the same look.

"Yeah but let's do buzz balls instead, so we can actually feel it after," angelo suggested, even hearing his voice made lani stiffen up. "I'm okay with that," dream cheered, lani looked around slowly at sapnap and dream the music felt like it was muffling and she just nodded. She felt the cold hand on her shoulder and turned to see george, george smiled, "you good?" he asked, the drunk grin plastered on his face told lani more then she needed to know.

"Yeah george i'm okay," she threw up a thumbs up and george did the same before she turned back around. "2 buzz balls per person, starting with you two and ending with me and the tall guy," angelo explained, sapnap was chosen to start and when the count down went off the game began.

Sapnap was a bit behind but lani didn't waste any time, as she chugged them she could almost feel the eyes burning through her as angelo and sarah stared at her. She dropped the second
buzz ball and dream began drinking and just by a few seconds they reclaimed victory. Sapnap drunkenly cheered as he grabbed dream and lani and forced them into a hug.

Lani felt as if she could feel every slight movement around her as she looked around the lights seemed to blend, and the room looked like it was spinning. When sapnap let go of the hug lani felt her legs go wobbly as she looked around. No one seemed to notice, but lani believed it was time to call it a night, she fumbled over to the bar. "Id, card now please," lani huffed as she fell onto the stool.

"Someone drank too much?" a familiar voice asked, she looked up quickly to see angelo standing a few feet away. "Go away," she muttered waving him off, "sorry, i just wanted to say sorry about everything you've been going through," angelo explained, lani looked away from him flipping him off. "You didn't even like my dad," she huffed as she laid her head on the bar. "Okay lani, i'm gonna go back to sarah now see you later," he threw up a peace sign, lani simply flipped him off again, she heard a tapping noise and poked her head up to see the bartender giving her the card and ID.

"Who was that guy talking to you?" a voice asked as lani hopped off the stool. "My ex," she responded turning around to see george. "You come out of no where," she giggled, "why was he talking to you?" george asked, lani looked at him with a confused face, "he's weird, i don't know," she brushed it off and continued to walk out, george followed behind her. "Stop leaving me in a position where i have to ask another question," george huffed as they reached the hallway.

The both of them stopped walking, "i'm going to room," lani muttered, "what?" george asked,
"room me," she mumbled. "Who's your roomie? Your ex?" he asked, she facepalmed as she looked at him. "I don't know where my room is actually georgie," she looked around at the building and it seemed to have a hundred ways to go.

"Oh you wanna go to your room? Do you have your key?" he asked, lani looked at him as her jaw slacked, "i don't have my key," she huffed as she continued walking forward. "Just sleep in my room, i'll take the couch," george blurted out, his eyes widening as he looked over at lani waiting for a response. "Okay georgie, i trust you," she mumbled, he grabbed her arm lightly and lead her to his room. Luckily for him it was closer to the lounge then lanis was.

He opened the door and signaled lani to walk in first. "Don't mind the mess, alex was raiding my stuff for a shirt," he quickly started grabbing his clothes and throwing them back into the suitcase. "Do you have something i can change into?" she asked as she stumbled towards the bed.

"I have my merch and some sweats," he bent down to grab the clothes and threw them in lanis direction. "I'm gonna go change," she looked around a few moments before spotting the bathroom making her way towards it. She began changing, putting on the crazy comfortable sweatpants and as she squeezed the hoodie over her head she tripped on her feet and hit her head on the wall.

The impact was heard by george who was knocking on the door seconds later, "land
are you okay?" he asked, he heard a drunk groan in response and he quickly opened the door to see lani sitting on the floor rubbing the front of her head. "Check if there's a bump," she looked up at him, and he quickly knelt down putting a hand on her chin and positioning her to look at him. As he looked she couldn't help but look at his kind, soft brown eyes and she felt her gaze shift onto his lips.

"No bump, want some ice though?" he asked causing lanis gaze to break as he backed away. "Oh no it's fine," she rubbed the back of her neck nervously, george stood up and reached his hand out. "Come on, let's get you to sleep," he assisted lani to the bed and she fell onto it and felt her heavy eyelids fall and she immediately fell asleep.
