when i arrived at the party, there was a swarm of you tubers and viners that i had only dreamt of meeting and now they were all in one place, i had no idea what to do. i looked to my left to see the table full of refreshments and snacks. to my right there was a famous DJ playing the best music. to top it all off, the party was in a gorgeous penthouse suit with ceiling to floor windows and the ceiling was black with tiny lights dotted around to look like stars.

i looked ahead of my and clutched my bag as i wandered through the crowds of celebrities. my eyes scanned each group and i was in search of one person.

my devil.

i saw him near the back of the room and there he was in his devil horns and the red pitchfork. i smiled when i saw the back of his head and he was with Ethan (who was dressed as a pop art guy), Nate (who came as superman) and a bunch of other people who i slightly recognised but i didn't personally know them.

Ethan saw me behind him and he smiled as he saw my costume.

"what are you smiling at?" Grayson asked still oblivious to my presence,

"turn around," Ethan said still smiling.

Grayson did so and his eyes brightened as he saw me. he pulled me into a hug.

"you look amazing!" he shouted over the music,

"thank you! you do too!" i shouted back and smiled,

"you're such an angel! ha! get it?" he said and laughed at his own joke,

"yeah i get it," i said as i shook my head at the corny joke and smiled.

he pulled me over to his group of people and we had the best of halloweens. for the whole night, until around 1am, we danced, watched some youtuber have a dance off with a viner and then see him storm off after he lost. overall it was a great night and i am so thankful that he included in the party.

"how was the party?" Harper asked me as i arrived at her house in a pair of bed shorts and one of Grayson's shirts and a bag full of my costume.

"great," i replied with as i set everything by the door.

"good," Harper said as she bit her nail.

"whats the matter?" i asked her as i came to sit next to her,

"well... um, we're moving in a week," Harper said as she looked at me with teary eyes,

"what! why?" i said as i stood up and furrowed my brows,

"i cant keep my rent up for the next few months, I'm already 2 months pregnant so i might as well move in with my mum already," she said as a few tears streamed down her face.

"Harp," i said as i pulled her into a hug,

"im so sorry Ava," she said as she sobbed into my shoulder.

"it's okay, ill call Grayson and get all of this sorted," i said as i pulled out my phone and began to call him.

"hello babe," he greeted me,

"hey," i said back to him in a neutral tone,

"something wrong?" he asked concerned,

"well," i said contemplating how to put it,

"are you hurt? do you need me?" he asked nervously,

"no, I'm fine... its about the moving date," i said to him,

"oh, what about it," he said to me,

"we're going to have to move earlier because me and Harper are being kicked out," i said as i looked over at Harper so see her rubbing her erupting bump,

"when are you moving?" he asked me,

"next week... on friday," i said to him,

there were a few seconds of silence and then he finally said okay which was such a relief,

"but, me and E are going to Europe until December 20th on the Sunday," he said nervously,

"oh," i felt my body sink and i felt like a pile of wastage,

"yeah, I'm so sorry," he said to me and i could tell he was feeling sad abut going off and leaving me for nearly 2 months.

"I'm sure ill be fine on my own, i can always visit Harper or James," i said back him as i looked over at Harper who gave me a sorry smile.

"i love you, you know?" he said to me,

my heart fluttered for a bit and i smiled to myself, "i love you too, i always will Grayson," i said to him,

"i will always as well," he said to me before we exchanged goodbyes and then hung up.

"so... hes okay with it?" Harper said to me,

"yeah, but he's going on tour to Europe on the Sunday which means that we'll only be together for the Saturday." i said as i slouched on the chair and buried my head in the back of the couch,

"i'm sure you guys will think of something, you always do," Harper said to me as she patted my head like a dog,

"thanks Harp,"
