Alaska
I woke up the next morning, and Ashley was watching TV with a cigarette in between her lips.

"Good morning." She says taking it out of her mouth and putting it on the ashtray.

"Hi," I rub my eyes.

"How did you sleep?"

"Pretty good. How did you sleep?"

"I didn't." She said standing up and grabbing a water bottle.

"Why not?"

"Because I was too busy planning my next show." She says grabbing the cigarette again.

"When can I see you perform?"

"Whenever you want." She smiles at me causing me to blush.

I go into the bathroom and brush my teeth then wash my face. Afterwards, I go back into the room and lay on the bed, watching Ashley as she wrote in her notebook.

"What are you writing?" I ask.

"Shhh," she shushes me and continues to write. I roll my eyes and milk and cereal out of the small fridge the hotel had. Ashley must have bought some food last night. I layed on the bed eating cereal and watching Ash. She looked so focused. After a few minutes she looked up.

"Are you just gonna stare at me?"

"Yes,"

"Okay." She looks down and continues writing again.

"Tell me what your writing." I say going behind her and placing my head on her shoulder.

"Go away I'm focusing." She says shutting her book.

"Your so rude to me."

"Mm," she places her book down and turn her attention to me."What do you want?"

"I don't know I'm bored."

"Have a cigarette, watch a little TV."

"Tv is boring." She rolls her eyes.

"You're like a little six year old."

"But you still love me." She stops as I said that. She looked at me and bit her lip."What?" I ask

"You heard me?"

"Heard what?"

"Never mind." She sits up and grabs another cigarette. She focuses on the tv and I sigh.

"I have a show tonight, I want you to go but you're probably gonna be sleeping. It's at 10 if you're not asleep though." She says playing with her fingers.

"I'll go." I say grabbing her hand and she smiles. "I'm gonna go change, it's too hot." I tell her. I go into our suitcase and grab one of her shirts and a pair of rainbow tube socks. I go into the bathroom and change, taking off my prior clothing, I had nothing but a shirt, underwear, and my tube socks.

I got out the bathroom, throwing the clothes on the floor. Ashley stared at me, trying to hold back a smile by biting her lip. I roll my eyes at her and change the tv to a music channel where Lana del Rey's Young and Beautiful came on.

"I love this song." I say dancing slowly. She laughed and spun me around a few times, before letting me dance foolishly. The song changed to Nirvana's About a Girl and I stopped to take a drink of water.

Ashley watched me as I came to her as she sat on the bed. I placed my arms around her neck and her hands made their way to my waist. I leaned down and kissed her cheek before she pulled me onto the bed causing me to laugh. She tickled me and held me down as I tried to get away from her.

She was on top of me and we both calmed down, our breaths still heavy. She stared at me, our noses touching.

"I have to go to the studio to record one last song before tonight, but, I really hope you can make it to see me perform." She says sitting up.

"Of course, you're leaving now?"

"Yeah, I'll see you tonight." She says putting her shoes on and grabbing her notebook before leaving. I sat on the bed staring at the ceiling. When it was me and her, everything felt so different. I fell asleep soon enough and I woke up.

Looking at the time I saw that it was 9:40. I slept for the longest of time. I then realized that I'm gonna miss Ashley perform if I don't hurry. I quickly threw on shorts and some vans, grabbed a jacket and quickly ran down the stairs.

I looked at the address of the place and thought I was never gonna make it in time.

But I made it just in time before she started, but she didn't notice me. She looked disappointed.

"Hi I'm Halsey, and I'm really glad you guys came to see me. I'm going to be performing 5 songs for you today. I hope you enjoy them." She began her first song. She sang beautifully. She was so perfect. The way she interacted with everyone and the way she performed. Finally after she did three more songs, then came her last.

"I wrote this song not too long ago. Like I literally wrote it and prepared it today. It's a really special song about someone I really care about. I don't know if they are here but, I want them to know that this is for them. This song is called Is there Somewhere. Sorry if you guys think it sucks, I just wrote it but, hope you guys enjoy."

She began the song and I knew.

As she finished the song, her eyes scanned the crowd and landed on me. A smile formed on her face.

"I'm Halsey and I hope you guys enjoyed, goodnight everyone." She motioned for me to meet her backstage.

"You came." She hugged me.

"I was late but yes, I did."

"I thought you weren't coming but I was wrong. It means so much that you came Ali." She says hugging me again. "Let's go to the hotel and talk more."

I nod and she leads me out. We get back into the hotel and she smiles at me.

"So did you like it?" She asks sitting in the bed.

"It was amazing, your voice is so perfect." I say taking my shoes off.

"Aw thanks." She says grabbing my hand.

"Why are you sorry that you fell in love?" I ask quietly. She looks at me and bites her lip.

"I don't know I just, I feel like I shouldn't have fallen in love."

"Don't be, cause I'm pretty sure they love you back." She smiles. She brings her lips onto mine and kisses me softly, placing her free hand on my cheek.

"Alaska?" She says after the kiss.

I hum in response.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I feel my face warm up,

"Of course, Halsey." She giggles and kisses me again.
