Haley's POV:

"WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN I'M GONE?" Lindsey and I sang at the top of our lungs, using our hairbrushes as mics and jumping off of the beds in the room we shared at the Four Seasons and sliding across the floor. I think you get the singing part but us sharing a room at the Four Seasons? I wasn't actually talking about THE Four Seasons Hotel, was I? I kinda was. Okay okay. I'll rewind a bit for you. You see, Lindsey and I began university not long ago at the famous Parsons School of Design in New York, where I was studying photography and Lindsey was studying Fashion Design. We were both really fortunate to have been admitted in the same university despite having different fields.

So every year, Parsons chose the top five students from every batch and took them to different countries for... Well, "better understanding of their fields" but we all knew we were definitely going just for the vacation. And the best part? We... The top five students didn't have to pay a single dollar for the trip! How cool was that? Lindsey and I knew about the annual trips and worked our... Excuse my language there. Worked really hard in our fields and got the result we wanted. A two month trip at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles! Well, actually we were in LA to "study more about Photography and Fashion Design" but for Linds and I, that was the part AFTER we digested the fact that WE WERE STAYING AT THE FOUR SEASONS! OH MY GOSH! And after studying for an entire year at Parsons, who would want to waste their Summer vacations studying more? Hence, we partied first, studied later. Nahh I'm just kidding! We didn't "party" party. We just danced around our room and ate a lot of junk while watching movies but AFTER we had finished with our day's work.

Speaking of rooms, Linds and I were not only a part of the fortunate top five from our batch but we also got to share a room at the 4S. Yeah, that's the nickname Linds and I gave to the hotel. Pretty cool, huh? Returning back to the present, I am sure you might have recognised those lyrics. Yes, we were singing When I'm Gone by none other than the famous and greatly loved band of our best friends and brothers, Before You Exit. When they announced that they would be releasing a new single that was in their new EP, its safe to say that Linds and I went WILD! The moment the song came out, we downloaded it and had been hearing it on repeat since then.

"THIS SONG IS SO AMAZING!!" Linds shouted at the top of her lungs as I let out a laugh and nodded, dancing crazily to the song. The song was blasting at full volume from Lindsey's Beats Pill in the middle of our room and we made no efforts of lowering the volume. The fun part about our work was also that we could easily do it with that loud a volume and not get too disturbed. Ahh... And another thing I should clear out. Our "room" was actually a suite. A SUITE!! Oh my lord, our days couldn't get any better. Boy, did I not know what we would be experiencing in the near future.
