Light (A Joey Graceffa Fanfiction)

Chapter 4: Lord of Misrule

   I winced. Fuck. We were caught. I wasn't even inside the dance hall for a minute. How is that possible? I slowly turned around, preparing to have our passes confiscated and our asses kicked out of here. I looked up at the person. 

    "Hi, I'm Tyler! I saw you come from the back exit and I was like, does she know where to go?" he said, smiling and giggling. Phew. We were good. My mind froze. What was I supposed to say? Who was I supposed to be? Should I just be...me?

    "Oh, haha, yeah. I was a little late and the front entrance was locked so I kind of just...improvised." I responded, nervously smiling.

     "Well, let's party! We have the whole night, girl. I didn't happen to catch your name?" 

     "Tamryn." 

     "Well, Tamryn," he said, taking my arm in his. "I think we just became best friends."

     We walked, arm in arm, up to the bar. I didn't get a chance to say I didn't feel like drinking, because Tyler already bought me a drink. 

    "Don't worry, it's on me!" Tyler said as he took a sip of his matching drink. We sat down on the bar stools. "So, what do you do?" he asked me.

     "Say that again?" I asked.

     "Like, what do you do. Vlogger, gamer, you know."

     "Oh, I was invited by Vidcon for an upcoming YouTuber thing. I just started my channel. Don't really know what to do with it yet. But I guess they liked it enough to send me here haha.." I really sucked at lying.

     "Oh, that's great!" he said sipping again, his glass half full. "Y'know, I could always help you. Not saying that I'm an expert, because I'm not. I literally just say "slay" and talk about boy bands. But we should film sometime!" Why did he want to film with someone he didn't know? I think he's already had a few drinks.

      "Mhmm." I sipped my drink unwillingly and looked around. Then I remembered I had to let Avery in. Shit. "Uh, excuse me for a second?" I asked him, smiling. He nodded, turning around to talk to this brunette guy. They looked like they were really hitting it off. I rushed to the front entrance and opened the door, immediately seeing an angry Avery waiting there for me.

      "Fuck, Tam. I thought you got caught!" she said, smacking my arm and letting herself in. "Were you having such a nice time with Joey that you forgot about me?" She smirked. We walked over towards the bar.

     "Nooo. I haven't even seen him. I don't think he's here...but Tyler is." I replied. Tyler saw her and waved for her to come and greet him. He already got another drink. They introduced each other and Avery explained to him about how she was also invited by Vidcon. She ordered a huge drink. Did I really have to deal with a trashed Avery tonight?

                      --Joey's POV--

      I rushed to the dance hall. I was so late, once again. I really need to keep track of time better. I was wearing the same outfit that I wore all day. My skinny jeans, teal Vans and a button up shirt. Obviously, I didn't have enough time to change. Just call me unreliable Joey. I called Sawyer to let me in through the front entrance. 

      Once I got there, I saw Sawyer holding the door open for me. "Thanks." I said, letting myself in and hugging him. 

      "No problem, bud. Say, have any plans for tonight? We all might go club hopping since this party ends at midnight. That's waaay too early." It was obvious he already had a few drinks. 

      "Sure. I have nothing else to do. We don't have to be here for our next meetup until the afternoon tomorrow. Who do you mean by "we"?" I asked. Sawyer tends to bring a lot of lady friends whenever we go clubbing and it gets kinda hectic.

     "Well, me, you, Tyler, Troye, Ingrid, Luke, Meghan, Zoe, Tanya, Jim, Alfie, Louise, basically everyone. Thought we should just go in a big group. Get loose. Get turnt, as the young ones say."  he mumbled. I slapped his back. 

          "Of course, Sawyer. See ya around, I'm gonna find Tyler, alright?" 

          "Yesss man." he replied, stumbling while trying to do the macarena. How hopelessly adorable.

         I looked around for Tyler's magical unicorn hair. It was pretty hard to find through all of the people and the lights. But I found him. There he was, at the bar, as usual. He was talking to some girls. Might as well make some new friends. I walked up behind him and tickled him. He squealed and smacked me. 

     "You bitch! You don't go behind someone while they are clearly drinking and tickle them. Do you want to give me a heart attack?" he yelled. I started laughing and patted his back. One of the girls spoke up.

     "Joey! I'm Avery. We met earlier today. How are you?" she smiled at me. I remembered her face. I chuckled and nodded.

     "Oh, of course! I'm good. Really need to loosen up, though. How are you?" I took a sip of Tyler's drink. He hit me again. Is this hit Joey day?

       "I'm great. And so is Tam, aren't you?" she asked her friend. She looked up and smiled. 

     "Hi, I'm Tamryn. You might know me as Fizzbanger." I laughed and walked up to her. I was so glad she was here.

     "Of course, duh. Fizzbanger, I am so glad you are here. You honestly made my day!" I went in for a hug. Was that too sudden? Would she think I was being creepy? I felt her arms wrap around me. It was a nice feeling. Tyler interrupted our conversation. 

     "Well, Avery, come with me. We can gossip about Caspar's balls together. I think I see him over there. Caspar!" he yelled, taking Avery with him and walking towards the dance floor. 

       "Hey Fizz, do you want to dance?"
