Paper Moon

chapter 41

I glanced in the mirror one more time. "I can do this" I muttered to myself. Rian knocked on the door cuasing me to jump a bit, "are you ready Halo?" I flattened my dress a bit more before responding, "yeah! I'll be out in a second!"

I took a deep breath, I look okay, I mean its not like they're gonna judge me. I've never don't this before. Then again it's the guys and they don't care what I look like. Other people are gonna be at this party to- I need to stop over thinking this and just go out there. We're still on the bus anyways.

I reached for the door then hesitated. It's fine, I'll be fine. I opened the door and peeked my head out, they'll see me.sooner or later. "Let's see what you look like" Jack stated as he walked over to me. He was wearing a nurses outfit and heels that made him tower over me more then he normally does.

"I see you actually decided to be a nurse, is Zack your patient?" As I asked that, Zack came walking over in a bloody outfit. "Correction! Sexy nurse, I'm a sexy nurse. Right Zack? And stop stalling!" Zack nodded in agreement.

I stepped out of the bathroom and flattened my dress a bit more. "You look sooo cute!!! Phil squealed and walked over to me. Why is Phil up here? Whatever. He took my hair in his hand softly, "I like the curls" he stated before letting the piece call gently from his hand. I smiled, "Thank you."

Phil was dressed as Captin Jack Sparrow. It suits him well. "Halo you look awsome!" Alex walked over to me and took my face in his hands. Alex was dressed as a wolf kinda. Meaning he had a tail, ears, and wolf teeth. "Thanks for curling my hair, I'm not very good at it" he luaghed, "of course!"

"Okay people let's go!! We're gonna be late!" Rian said trying to get people out of the bus. I grabbed my phone before joining Rian in walking out of the bus. The others were already at the party.

"So you decided to be a police officer?" Rian looked down at me and smiled. "And you, are little red riding hood" he laughed. I nodded.

I slipped My hand in Rians as we approached the building that held the party. "You okay Halo?" Rian asked, glancing at me. I nooded, "just a bit" I mumbled.

He chuckled, "don't worry, I'm sure you've met everyone whose there- well here." See I'll be fine. Maybe Frank will be here and I can give him his present.

As we were about to enter my phone began to ring. I internally thanked God. "I gotta take this- I'll be in, in a second." I showed him my phone for a second before answering it. I really need to stop stalling. "Okay, well I'll be waiting by the bar? I'll be somewhere, just look for me if you need me" Rian kissed my head then walked in.

I was left alone outside, well not really alone as more people were arriving. I wasn't really paying attention to who was though cuase I was busy talking to Vic on the phone.

"So are you at the party yet?" I asked Vic. "I'm not sure-" there was a click on the other end before he finished the sentance, "maybe you should look behind you." I turned around to see All of Pierce The Veil in their costums.

Vic inbtaced me in a hug. "Hi Halo, how've you been?" I smiled against Vics chest. "I've been good, what about you?" We pulled out of the hug. "Good, let's go inside yeah-" "what about us?" Jaime said lifting his hands for more emphasis.

I giggled, "Hi guys" I then proceeded to give each of them a hug. "So kiddo, how's the your life treating you?" Mike asked throwing his arm around my shoulders. I smiled and leaned into his side as we walked. "Good, tour is amazing."

He rubbed his hand up and down my arm comfortingly, "good, I'm glad to here it." We walked in and I looked around. Lots of people, like a million people. Okay I may be exaggerating, but there's lots of people.

I detached myself from Mike and continued to look around. I know these people. Like Patrick, and Tyler. I'm not sure why I was so nervous about this. It might have to do with the fact that I'm in a dress- that's beside the point.

I started to fidget with my fingers as I walked around aimlessly. I'm so awkward it's not even funny. "Is that Halo?" I turned around at the mention of my name. "Kellin?" I asked, a small smile tugging at my lips.

"I almost didn't recognize you, you know, with the dress and curled hair- but then I remembered, you're probably the only girl here" he said walking over to me. I smiled and we hugged. "Yeah? Well take a picture cuase this is one of the only times you'll see me in a dress" I stated as we pulled away. Kellin was dressed as a vampire.

"We need to hang out more- oh there's someone I want you to meet" Kellin took my hand and pulled me over to a group of people.

I looked over the group to see who he was talking about. It couldn't be Josh F, or Austin, I already knew them. I walked into this place with Piece the Veil so it can6 be Tony or Jaime, that means it's "Justin Hills" I stated,  looking up in amazement.

I had recently fallen more in love with Sleeping With Sirens, I haven't been this star-struck since I met Austin Carlile, I was a mess then. "Oh so you know who he is- Justin!" Justin turned and smiled at me.

"Is this Halo? You know he talks about you alot, I want to see what the fuss was about." I just stared at him in amazement.i would've been the same with Kellin except I had already met Kellin, and durring that time I wasn't as big of a fan as I am now.

"Y-you're Justin Hills" I barley managed to mutter. He laughed, "yes I am, and you are Halo Gaskarth, need anymore clarification?" Kellin ran his hand in front of my face. "You okay kid? Wait- how come your like this with him but when you met me- well actually you pretense to be a Crazy fan- You know the story." I was still staring at I was irritating myself.

"Hey guys, what's up with Halo?" I could hear my dad as he talked to Kellin. "Um I think I brole your daughter" Justin said scratching the back of his head. Dad walked over to Justin and whispered in his ear.

"Aww Halo, you're so adorable!!" Justin said flashing me a smile. That snapped me out of it. "What? I am not adorable- Dad! I'm not adorable, tell him." Dad just laughed, "there she is! Halo you are the cutest thing in the world." I glared at him.

"I don't need this!" I started to walk away but was quickly pulled back by someone wrapping there arms around my waist and picking me up. "Hey! Put me down!" I looked back to see Kellin. "Nope, the rest of the band wants to meet you, try not to freeze up this time yeah?" I rolled my eyes, "oh be quiet Kellin, your just jealous I was star-struck when I saw you."

He mocked me and continue to carry me, Justin following us.
