Devyn's POV:

A loud knocking at the hotel room door woke me up from my slumber, causing me to shuffle over and open the door, not a care in the world for how I looked. I'd definitely let myself go, but it wasn't the first time, and probably won't be the last.

"Morning, Devyn!" Ashleigh cheered with a big, wide awake smile as I let her into my hotel room.
"Hi." I yawned through my response, still trying to wake up and come back to the land of the living.
"How are you this morning?" She asked, taking a seat on the edge of my bed as I made my way into the bathroom to try and maintain my bird's nest of hair.
"Eh. Not too bad, I guess." I shrugged, not really having an answer.

"Well, today we're gonna go shopping." Ashleigh announced with a smile. "And, if you're up for it, we'll get our nails done together?" She suggested, giving me an option. I really didn't feel like going shopping, but I also knew they'd drag me there in my pyjamas if I didn't agree to go - either way I was going. "Okay." I sighed. "What kind of shit do you wear in New York?" I grumbled to myself, struggling with my hairbrush being stuck in the knots.
"I'll find you something." Ashleigh chuckled, already rummaging through my stuff. Oh well.

I took a quick shower then made my way back over to the bedroom, finding Ashleigh sitting on the edge of the bed, beside an outfit that was laid out. She's chosen a white t-shirt, with beige, white and black plaid pants (kind of like Burberry, but the TJ Maxx version), my black leather jacket, and black platform boots. I thanked her for the outfit, but sighed nevertheless as I changed into it; I had to actually wear a proper outfit today and go out in public. You know how long it's been since I last did that?!

Once I was changed, I quickly dried my brown hair and left it down in waves, deciding to slide black sunglasses on top of my head. I decided against makeup, since that would require too much effort, and took a deep breath, looking in the mirror to give myself a quick pep talk. I could do this.
I made my way back to Ashleigh, following her out of the room with just my phone, credit card, and hotel key card. This was going to be a fun day.

We met the others downstairs in the hotel's restaurant, sitting down for breakfast together before we took on the big city - that's what you do in New York, right? I kept by Ashleigh most of the time, finding the boys a bit too loud for how early it was. Plus, New York City is fucking insane. The guys were off somewhere in front of us, messing around and having fun, while I linked arms with Ashleigh to keep safe beside her. It was reassuring having her there - having contact with someone.

"We need outfits for tonight." Kells decided as we wandered around, the others agreeing whilst I internally groaned. They were dragging me around all the expensive shops, spending their growing amounts of money, while I just looked at everything I could never have. All those dollars.

"Devyn, let's go get our nails done." Ashleigh suggested after a little while, probably noticing my boredom. I nodded and followed her to the nearest nail place, reluctantly sitting down to wait for two free spaces. I didn't exactly want to get them done, but I didn't want to disappoint Ashleigh; she seemed so excited for a bit of girl time, and I didn't want to put a damper on that. So I went along with it, sitting in the chair beside Ashleigh and pretending to be interested as I glanced over all the different shapes of nails and the colors.

I decided to go for short, square black nails, with my ring fingernails being sparkly black. "I know you don't wanna go tonight, but I appreciate you coming with us." Ashleigh smiled as we sat there together, the nail technicians busily working away. This was the girliest I've ever felt. Now all I needed was to get my eyelashes done. I lightly smiled across at her, hoping to continue my facade. I felt bad, don't get me wrong, but ruining this for her would be even worse. And hopefully I'd get closer to her through this.
