“Choose life. Choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and hope that someone, somewhere cares. Choose looking up old flames, wishing you’d done it all differently. And choose watching history repeat itself. Choose your future. Choose reality TV, slut shaming, revenge porn. Choose a zero-hour contract, a two-hour journey to work and choose the same for your kids, only worse. And smother the pain with an unknown dose of an unknown drug made in somebody’s kitchen. And then, take a deep breath.”

T2: Trainspotting (2017) dir. Danny Boyle

Annabelle: well yeah... it's fascinating isn't it?

Hayes: Truly fascinating.

Hayes: I'm sure whatever you have has made it even more fascinating and I'm jealous

Lauren rolled her eyes once again and shook her head laughing. Even though he was right in some way, the blonde smirked and shrugged. “If you were really were the best, you wouldn’t of had to suggest it. You would’ve just made it happen yourself.”

“Fuck,” Hayes cursed in jest. “Fair point and I’ll make sure to remember that for the next time so I can prove myself to be the best,” he laughed. “Should I even attempt to suggest a drink or would I embarrass myself further?”

“Why reject? I’m curious enough.” Reina grinned, “We’ve discussed more about me than you though but we’ve still got a long six months ahead, all the time to get to know you.”

“I’m taking that as a win,” Hayes smirked. “That is true but you can start now if you like. Ask anything.”

[mrleightongrayson]

“Well, what albums will you have me listen to, indie kid?” Poppy teased, “I’m more than happy to do the work.” She smiled triumphantly, her answer seemingly going over well with him. Hayes was the guy she wanted to approve of her musical taste. “True, true. The new Ed is great. It’s not his best stuff, ever but Castle on the Hill is really nostalgic and Shape of You has a killer beat. They’re definitely worth a listen.” 

“Awesome nickname,” Hayes said with a laugh. “Room on Fire by The Strokes,Good News for People Who Love Bad News by Modest Mouse, AM by the Arctic Monkeys, Antics by Interpol, Oh, Inverted World by The Shins, plus Tourist History and Beacon by Two Door Cinema Club. I’m positive you’ve already given a few of these a listen but then I’d say to listen to them again,” he suggested. “I’ll add it to my list then.”

[mrleightongrayson]

reina-chen:

“Asking me to move in! Wow, you do move fast.” Reina teased, “But I’m sure I could take New York, might make the city that extra bit sweeter if I’m around, and yes - you’ve got a year. Good luck with the ride, babe.” 

“I do,” he laughed. “But I don’t here you rejecting the offer,” he teasingly pointed out. “I think I’ll be fine once I buckle myself in.”

[mrleightongrayson]

Text;; _____ : did you ever just wonder what it would be like to just freefall forever? Just float endlessly??

Hayes: Of course. But only if I've indulged in something a little herbal.

[mrleightongrayson]

poppy-song:

“That sounds like a plan. I don’t understand why the universe feels the need to take George Michael when they’re more than welcome to Nickelback.” Poppy joked, “You definitely should, and I’m happy to do homework.” Poppy was always looking for new music to inspire her art. it drive a lot of what she did. She paused a moment, considering his test. “Never on YouTube.” She stated emphatically, “-but as far as vinyl or my phone- it depends what they were made for. For instance, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon was made for vinyl. As a result, it sounds better on vinyl than it ever would through ear phones. BUT the latest Ed Sheeran album was produced to be consumed through headphones with all of the different beats and guitars. It’d be best listened to through iTunes.”

“Nickelback was a tough time for all of us,” hayes sighed. “Listening to albums for homework is the best homework in my mind. May have finished grad school if this is what I had to do,” he laughed.  “Agreed,” he laughed. “That is a great answer and so fucking true. Of course I’ll liked to the Dark Side of the Moon on my phone if I’m out and about but given the choice it would be my record player. I heard Ed Sheeran came out with new music, is it worth the listen?”

[mrleightongrayson]

poppy-song:

Poppy enjoyed listening to him speak about music. He was passionate about his craft. She appreciated that. “I swear to god if this year comes for Paul McCartney I might just lose my mind.” She laughed, only half-joking. She’d been surprised by how hard she’d been hit by the deaths of musical idols like Prince and Bowie. “It’s a good album. While you’re there, give Jack’s Mannequin a listen. They’re a piano-rock band I’ve recently come to adore. Amazing lyrics.” Poppy smiled, “-tell me, do I pass the indie kid musical test? Or are you going to send me away with homework?”

“We need to create a list of the greats that must be protected. Like a around the clock security guards to protect them and get them to the hospital if needed,” Hayes jokingly suggested. “I do know Jack’s Mannequin but another band I haven’t listened to for some time so I will give it a listen,” he nodded. “You do but I can send you away with some homework if you want. But the question is are you going to listen to them on youtube, from their album on your phone, or vinyl? Big test,” he smirked. 

[mrleightongrayson]

reina-chen:

“It is.” Reina countered with a grin, “Really? You think you can handle me for a year?” She shot back in jest, tiling her head curiously as she waited for his response, “First impressions go a long way, you know? I could be deceiving you and you might hate who I am when you get to know me… Or I could be the best part of your life. It’s really all a matter of chance.” 

“Maybe,” he smirked. “Though I’m only here for six months so you’d have to come to New York with me and before you ask I do have a great rent-controlled apartment there,” he quipped. “You are right. I guess I’ll just have to find out. I’ve got a year, right?”

[mrleightongrayson]

laurengallagherx:

“You are the worst, Hayes,” Lauren said laughing as she playfully smacked him on the shoulder before shrugging. “I guess that will have to do. Plus, you know that I could never say no to a drink.”

“I’m going to go ahead and correct you so you don’t feel ashamed for that little slip up or anything. I know I’m the best, Lauren.” Hayed teased as he smirked at the blonde. “That’s why I suggested it. See I really am the best.”

[mrleightongrayson]

“Now that I’m not traveling the world for work, I seem to have no life as I’ve been watching Christmas movies all day long,” Lauren admitted to the person she was talking to with a laugh. “As much as I love Christmas movies, please let me hang out with you for a while so I can take a break from that.”

“Oh shit,” Hayes cursed. “I was just going to suggest that we stay in and watch Christmas movies,” he joked. “Guess an early Christmas drink will have to do.”

[mrleightongrayson]

reina-chen:

Reina grinned at the male as he quickly introduced himself, bringing her drink up to her lips to take a sip, “Reina.” She replied, simply, “Pleasure to meet you, Hayes. Though it sounds to me like you’re saying we should skip introductions and get right back to kissing.” She teased. True, Reina was pretty intoxicated right now, who wasn’t? 

“It is wonderful to meet you, Reina.” Hayes grinned as she introduced himself. “Huh, is that so?” Hayes jokingly asked. “You know what they said...the person you kiss at midnight is the person you are to spend with for the rest of the year,” Hayes quipped. 

[mrleightongrayson]

Aurora smiled at him, “I couldn’t count how many times I’ve said that. I’m just so happy to finish this year.” The blonde chuckled, before shaking her head. “If you insist, you could buy the round after.”

“2016 was shit. Utter shit,” he laughed. “That is all I want, a round for a round”

[mrleightongrayson]

poppy-song:

“I feel like it wouldn’t be all too dissimilar to how some people are with One Direction and the like, minus twitter of course.” Poppy chuckled, “At least you admit it. The Smiths are amazing. Morrissey is nothing short of incredible. My favourite? It’s honestly so hard to choose. The entire Parklife album is just the best thing ever.”

“Yeah. But that started than fandom culture and it is unlike we’ll experience again because we’re trained by social media. Rather than driving eight hours to see my favorite band...I can now go to my computer and lifestream the whole thing,” he mused. “He truly is. We’ve got to make sure he makes it to 2017 because if we lose another musician like that then I’m going to seriously consider quitting music.” Hayes laughed. “I’ll have to re-listen to that tonight. I don’t remember the last time I listen to it.”

With their work phone so far remaining to keep quiet, Avery gestured for another coffee to be brought over. They had about twenty minutes left of their break before they needed to head back to the office. They nodded at the man, “Yes, I do work for Angelica Rogers. I’m her personal assistant. Who are you?”

“What a job,” Hayes laughed. “Hayes Salinger,” he said as he outstretched his arm to give Angie’s assistant a handshake. He wasn’t sure if she would know it at all and if she did if it was because of his music or his connection to her boss. “How do you like working for Angie? I’m sure you’re busy constantly.”

New Years was one of Aurora’s favourite time of the year. She loved seeing everyone up celebrating, most of them being happy and drunk. She’d gone to XS nightclub for the night with a few of her girlfriends who were also models. She needed to fit in tonight, it was supposed to be fun. With a cocktail in one hand, she let out a huge grin at the person standing next to her. “Happy New Year. Now, drinks are definitely on me!”

[mrleightongrayson]

Hayes didn’t know what he expected by going to XS for New Year’s Eve beyond the stereotypical things that usually occurred on a night out on the eve of the New Year. “Yeah? Thanks,” Hayes said with a smile to the woman who aid the drinks were on her. “I feel like I should be the one buying the drinks,” he joked.
