I was in my room, getting ready for the 'welcome to modest' party that was being held for me. Everyone at Sway and Hype were also invited, so we were meeting at Sway and driving to the party together. I dressed into a short, leather, pencil skirt with a red cropped top and some black boots, with a black thong and black laced bra underneath. I left my hair out, straightened and applied a heavier amount than normal of makeup, making sure that the dark circles under my eyes were covered. Once I was ready, I grabbed my phone and was about to leave my room when the door opened. Nick walked in, closing the door behind him and walking over to me. "You look incredible." He breathed out as he took me in. "Thanks Nicky." I smiled back, walking over and giving him a quick kiss. "I just wanted to tell you that before we go to a party and have to act like friends for the night." He smirked, his arms wrapped around me as we hugged for a minute. "Okay, let's head down." I smiled, taking his hand in mine as I led him out of my room. I made sure to let go of his hand before we came into the view of the others.
"Hey baby! Come get a drink while we wait for everyone else." Addison instructed, her and Avani were drinking champagne. I walked over to them, while Nick walked over to Anthony and Bryce, who were drinking claws. "Hey guys." I smiled as I poured myself a glass of champagne. "Yo whatever you told Bryce to do, amazing. I love you so much." Addison smiled and my brow furrowed. "What do you mean?" I asked. "He's been so caring lately, so sweet and thoughtful and he told me it was because you gave him some advise or whatever. So whatever you told him, thank you." She insisted, I glanced over to the boys' group, making eye contact with Bryce who lifted his can as a 'cheers'. "Yeah, no problem." I smiled softly, turning my attention back to the girls. "So, uh, how are you and Nick going?" Avani asked, I wanted to tell her everything, about how we've been hiding our relationship for a week now but I knew that I couldn't. "Oh, it's uh, not going. We decided we'd be better off as friends." I lied, showing a small smile. "Aww that sucks, I thought you guys we're going to last for a while." Addison pouted, Avani nodding in agreement. "Yeah we all did." Avani agreed, me shrugging in response. "Guys, sometimes it just doesn't work out." I answered, pouring myself another glass. "So you're okay?" Avani asked, worried expression on her face. "What? Of course, it was just a fling." I replied again, it wasn't long before the rest of the two houses had joined us, so we headed out to the limousine-bus, that Modest had ordered for us. It was big enough for the whole of the two houses could fit inside. I sat between Ryland and Harry, Nick sat down the end of the car with Chase and Josh. Addison and Avani started handing out bottles of champagne to each person, because the ride was 30 minutes long. I glanced down to Nick, who was already looking at me and shot me a smile once our eyes locked and I returned with one back. I got my bottle, instantly opening it. I felt a small tap on my shoulder, looking towards it to see Ryland looking down at me. "What's up, Rylo?" I asked, him leaning down closer to me. "Thought I might end up crashing on the couch. If you wanted to get away from Sway." He said into my ear, but the bus was loud enough that no one else could hear him. "What do you..." I started but he cut me off by laughing slightly. "He said that you guys broke up and you might have everyone else fooled and upset for you guys, but you don't have this guy fucking fooled. I saw the shit about you two that no one else saw. There's no way you broke up." He explained, I mean, he's not wrong. "Fine. Thanks Rylo." I smiled back, I glanced back over to Nick, who was now having a conversation with Josh and Bryce.
It wasn't long before the car pulled up outside of the house that the party was being held in. Jason was waiting outside for me, so as we filed out of the car he waved me over. We started walking over to the door, but Jason pulled me aside. "Sorry guys, you're all welcome to any food or drinks in there, but I have to steal Ronnie for an hour or two to introduce her to some people." Jason instructed, I gave the group a little wave as I was pulled into the house. I met people who were going to produce my single and my first album before coming into contact with a brunette that I was very familiar with. "I didn't think you would come!" Jason said as we approached the man. "Well, you know me, anything for a good party." His Irish accent responded. "Hi, I'm Ronnie." I smiled, reaching over to shake his hand, which he reciprocated. "Niall." He replied, "Let's go somewhere for a chat." I followed him into a room away from Jason.
"So, uh. How's Modest for you?" He asked, looking down at me. "It's alright. I mean they're helping me get places that would be so hard without them but, uh, there's this part of my contract..." I started but was cut off by him nodding. "The relationship part?" He asked and I nodded back, "Yeah a couple of guys in my band came into trouble with that one. Don't worry it lasts about a year into a relationship, then you have a meeting with your manage, so Jason. If they like the person for your image then you'll probably be able to come out. If not, you'll have to continue to hide it." He spoke as though he knew the situation so well, as though he had experienced it for a long time. "Thanks, that's actually, uh, reassuring." I smiled back and he nodded. "Anytime. Here, here's my number. I've been with Modest for about 10 years now, so if you need any help with anything, just hit me up and I'll help in anyway I can. Hell, we might even make a fucking song together one day." He smiled, handing me a card and I nodded. "That's incredible, thank you so much." I replied. "You should probably keep making the rounds. But it was great meeting you. Let's get fucked up some time." He laughed, raising his glass to me as he walked away.
I noticed Nick talking to Jack and Thomas from across the room, and decided to walk over. "Hey boys." I smiled, grabbing a glass of champagne off of one of the waiters tray. "Hey Ronnie." Thomas smiled back, giving me a small hug. "This shit is nicer than the fuckin' Hype parties." Jack laughed and I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, almost a little too nice. You know what I mean?" I replied, making brief eye contact with Nick. "Yeah I totally agree." Jack smiled, I glanced back up to Nick again, this time holding the conversation for slightly longer. "Hey, Jack... Uh, is that Josh?" Thomas asked, pointing somewhere that Josh definitely was not. "What, I can't see hi..." Jack started before Thomas punched him in the arm. "No, I think that's Josh. We should go say hi." Thomas responded, grabbing Jack's arm and pulling him away from Nick and I. I turned my attention to Nick, who smiled back down at me.
"Yo, I'm getting kind of sick of this party. And, uh, Hype is empty at the moment." Nick started, his smile turning into a smirk. "Oh, so you wanna go play scrabble or something?" I asked, playing dumb. "Something like that I guess. Maybe not scrabble but you know, something we could play." He continued, moving ever so slightly closer to me. "Ohh like twister." I smirked, staring up into his eyes. "Yeah, lets play twister. I'll order an uber." He smirked before I followed him out to the front of the house. It was still early, so there were only a couple of paparazzi waiting outside. I immediately recognised one, the hollywood fix, they usually follow around Hype and Sway members so I had had some interactions with them before.
"Ronnie, why are you and Nick going home together?" The guy asked, I knew what he wanted me to say, or deny. "Look, I'm drunk and tired and wanted to go home. And Nick was raised not to let a drunk girl go home alone, so he's making sure I get home safe. That's all." I smiled, the paparazzi man instantly looking disappointed. The uber pulled up and I stumbled over to the backseat, climbing in next to Nick. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, pulling me into his side. "I missed you." I whispered, "That was the shittest party I've ever gone to because I couldn't fucking dance with you." "You are drunk, aren't you?" He smiled down at me, his lips softly pressing against mine. "Just a little."
