(AN: Okay so listen it's been a minute Halsey has grown so much since the last time I visited this so I'm not sure if the theme still suites but she is releasing Manic soon so my heart is excited and I wanna see how this goes)
"What dose one wear to a party of this occasion?" Jersey asked Micheal who had come over to help her pre party anxiety.
"You do realize not all gay men actually know about fashion right?" Micheal said in tone that was meant to be making fun of her.
"I'm not asking you for fashion advice because you're gay I'm asking my friend to help me look decent because tonight is the night i put my self out there." She spoke nervously.
"look at you putting on your big girl pants." Micheal spoke sounding like a proud father.
"shut up." she said rolling her eyes "now help me!"
Ripped black skinny jeans a black cropped tube top with a Hawaiian button up,layered necklaces and rings covering her hands. Her brown hair hung naturally down her back and her makeup done in a simple way was what came to be the end product of their banter and several arguments.
"I may not be good at fashion but i sure as hell know what looks hot." Michael said excited.
"I feel not like me." she stated bluntly looking her reflection over in the mirror.
"All these things where in your closet and plus everyone has a different version of themselves especially at parties, now let's go."
Both Michael and Jersey thought it best they order an Uber. Just in case they decided to let loose and have a drink or two. So here Jersey was next to Micheal dressed completely out of character,going to a party for an amazing girl that she felt like she definitely did not deserve in any capacity.
Part of her was hoping that she would never actually make it to the party. Parties were full of people and she was never really good with people. The other part of her said that her comfort didn't matter because supporting Ashley was more important.
As the Uber pulled up to a very large house littered with people the nervous she managed to settle had resurfaced.
"I'm already rethinking this."
"I'm not, lets go get drunk." Micheal said with excitement Jersey rolled her eyes and they both walked in. The houses lay out was just as beautiful as the outside. walking in they where greeted by a large staircase that was taped off with caution tape to keep guests from going up them. The living room was large and spacious no furniture except for a few chairs lined up against the wall. Bodies littered the dimly lit house as a random song played in the background.
"where's your girl?" Michael asked taking in his surrounding.
"She said she was performing so I'm assuming up there somewhere." Jersey said referring to the the top of the staircase where there was instruments and a mic set up.
"alright well I'm gonna go find us something to drink." Micheal said walking away. As she stood in the same spot awkwardly.
As she looked up she saw a very pretty girl making her way down the staircase. Jersey felt her face get warm.
"Hey you okay? You seem..in pain." said the girl stopping directly in front of Jersey.
"Yeah that seems to just be my face in any social situation especially with girls that are on higher levels or really all levels." Jersey said nervously rambling.
The girl giggled "I'm Reese and they're is no way I'm on a 'higher level' than you."
Jersey's face grew warmer and Reese just looked at her in amusement.
"Your name's cool, I'm Jersey."
"Wait your Jersey, like Ashley's Jersey?"
"yeah I guess I am." Her stomach fluttered and a smile formed on her face. "how do you know her?" Jersey asked.
"well I play drums and her boyfriend asked me to back her up tonight so we've been rehearsing together.
"Her boyfriend?" Jersey repeated trying not to sound to disappointed.
"Yeah sorry maybe ex boyfriend they've been on and off for a while so I don't even try to keep up?" She said glancing to the top of the stair where they both stood the boy raising his hand as Ashley went in to high five which turned into a hug.
Jersey felt her heart fall a wave of sadness coming over her. Reese noticed the silence and tried to lighten the mood "well the shows about to stat i'll keep an eye out for you in the crowd." Jersey half smiled at her and nodded and the girl touched her shoulder and walked off.
"You'll never believe who i just saw." Michael came with a beer in each hand.
"who?" Jersey mumbled.
"Well first Calum the new guy at work that you trained and second what's wrong with you."
"Well turns out she has a maybe boyfriend and they have a lot of history and now i just wanna get drunk but i also don't want to at the same time." Michael stood silently not knowing what to say.
"Here." he said handing her one of the beers. "Look a maybe boyfriend sounds like history especially when his competition looks this good." He said trying to lighten her mood.
"I'm not competing for attention Micheal."
"Hey everyone thank you so much for coming I'm Ashley but I'm still working on a stage name but anyways I'm going to be performing some original songs and some covers so i hope you enjoy them and if you don't oh fucking well." she said and the house cheered. The music started "This first song is called Empty Gold."
Jersey stared as Ashley began to sing.
Jersey felt her self get sad again as she looked at the girl give herself to the music. Beautiful was all she could think.
Feeling like she had to alleviate this feeling she chugged the beer from her hand. She Looked down at the beer in his hand as if to ask if he was gonna drink that. Michael handed it to her and went off to get more alcohol.
Soon after a few beers and shots she felt herself grow lighter.
Making it almost impossible not to let loose and move with crowd. As she opened her eyes she met the gaze of the Ashley on stage and her breath got caught in her throat.
"and I tried to refrain but you're stuck in my brain and all i do is cry and complain cause seconds not the same, I'm sorry but i fell in love in love tonight, i didn't mean to fall in love tonight, you're looking like you fell in love tonight, can we pretend that were in love"
Every line felt to real and Jersey didn't know how to react so she took another shot.
