its not like you could say you were nesscarily excited about this party, i mean you had loved going out to LA after parties 24/7, however that was when you could easily walk into one with your friends without getting the most dirty looks from every bitch with a black stripe painted across their faces. and you knew tonight just had it in for you, you couldn’t put your finger on it but just this lingering feeling that something was just going to happen and that scared you more than you would like to admit it scared you.
Getting ready in the hotel room with roman, standing in the mirror tucking some hair behind your ears as you touched up your lip combo in the mirror, tapping the pigment with the tip of your finger. As you finished up smacking your lips you couldn’t help but notice the tall shadow entering the bathroom with you, this shadow being roman. standing there in his loose button up and his hair pushed back neatly. he looked into your makeup bag rummaging around in the different products before looking through his and hollis’s shared products. You watched him through the mirror, tilting your head at him curiously, he looked up his eyes meeting yours.
“do you have some- eyeliner, like not the liquid one the kinda pencil one” he explained softly, you giggled and nodded pulling out the small nyx super stay eyeliner from your makeup bag and handing it to him.
“want me to do it?” you asked softly turning to face him, roman smiled shyly and nodded. Roman was the kinda guy who wanted to act all tough and intimidating but was really actually a huge shy sweetheart, he wasted no time closing the toilet seat behind him and sitting on it waiting for you to come over. Roman lovveeddd when you did his eyeliner, i mean everyone enjoyed it but you swear roman liked it the most, he just enjoyed being sooo close to you, how you soft finger tips would come up to brush some hair from his face and hold him still. he could smell your perfume, his hands resting lightly on your waist as you gently guided the pencil along his lower lash line then smudging it out with your fingers to smoke it out, whatever that meant.
“and..there all done” you said as roman turned to face the mirror with a smile on his face,
“beautiful as always, only from the best” he said softly, “but i think its missing something” he said softly analyzing his face looking at you through the mirror, you tilted your head confused you let out a small laugh as he walked over to you.
“youre wearing the red one right, the one that stains?” he asked softly, you looked up at him confused at first before you realized- oh, your lip gloss the one you were applying as he came in looking for that eyeliner. you rubbed your lips together and nodded
“yeah the one we bought when we first landed here because one broke all over my bag” you nodded recalling the embarrassing series of events the had happened a little over two days ago. he smiled and tapped the side of his cheek with a sly smirk on his face
“no- nope nottt happening” you protested waving your hands infront of the mans face, he laughed and shook his head,
“cmonnn it’ll be fun please just one little kiss just one” he said tapping the side of his cheek, you scoffed and laughed shaking your head in disbelief.
“okay so clearly you actually want all of every fifteen year old in NYC right now, to come and put my head on a stick, ‘ you argued back playfully pushing him away, roman still insisted
“bro who cares, they’ll just sit all pissy behind their screens, but last time i checked theyre not the ones giving me a little peck on the cheek, now cmon please we have to go like now” he protested, you sighed in defeat and watched the pride fill up in his eyes.
standing up straight, you cupped his face gently pressing your lips firmly against his cheek leaving a bright pink kiss mark right under his lower eye, thrilled at the sight roman took a quick pic of his cheek before turning back to you-
“okay no we actually have to go now” he said ushering the two of you out of the hotel room and into the uber hollis had called an hour ago.
Your stomach churned as you guys slowly made your way to the venue that hollis booked at, sitting between him and jonah, their conversation fading in and out of what you could only grasp as reality and before you knew it you were there, looking over jonah at the line of people waiting to get in. Roman got out first, then jonah, then hollis, then you. You swore the roars of the crowd shook the concrete below you, as hollis put an arm over you ushering you inside, roman on your other side saying hello to the people waiting outside.
The first thing you did upon entering was rush to the restroom, that weird feeling that had been following you all day now pressing into your body full force making you incredibly nauseous with anxiety. Opening your phone to the screen full of mentions,
“Hollis and y/n entering the NYC afterparty!
via : hexfannn222 insta !”
“ roman looks dazzling with a cute kiss mark on his cheek ! could this be y/ns doing ?
via : 222prevails insta !”
'jesuuuuussssssssni can't take this omg just have him'
' @/y/nnnnn you will feel it soon, just wait.'
and then the threads, the night hadn’t even started yet and you couldn’t even want to process what they were saying about you in them. Probably the usual, slut slut whore whore they sounded crazy referencing old insults you’d heard a million times before.
you left the bathroom, taking some deep breaths as you made your way through the back halls into where the door to the "stage" was or more so- behind the dj board, and there was hollis and jonah,
"oh there's my favorite girl, where'd you go you disappeared on me" hollis said softly handing you some water he had grabbed for you guys.
"ohh im sorry, i had to run to the restroom" you said softly smiling as you took the water from him,
"well were about to start, im soooo hype dude its gonna be lit" hollis said excitedly as he heard the security lining people up outside.
You stood close to jonah, drink in hand as jonah rested a hand around your waist keeping you close to him, it definitely made you feel better like you had kinda a shield or a wall protecting you from the crowd. As the main lights dimmed as the party lights came on and the people flooded inside, crowding around the small board, hollis dj'd that entire set like he was a full time dj, playing all the hits for the night getting the crowd super hype. the blue and pink lights flashed all around you as you watched the crowd dance with each other, Jonah stayed pretty close to you, keeping a hand around you at all times, and roman stood on the other side of you dancing and embarrassingly drunk stumbling into you or some of the girls lined up by the separator. you could tell they loved it though, you were definitely clear view of whoever was recording and maybe it was the shots you had started taking with roman but for once you didn't...care.
You weren't so worried about everyone's phone in your face, hell a girl even waved at you, and smiled when you waved back to her. you'd smile at her and immediately lean in to tell jonah, stumbling over into him as you told him about your sweet encounter that had just happened moments ago. As you rested a hand on his chest steading yourself in his arms, your faces inches apart as jonah leaned to the side to hear what your were saying with a smile and he could definitely smell the tequila on your breath. Maybe you were drunk, maybe it was how he looked under the blue lights but you swore that was the best jonah had ever looked in the few months of knowing him, standing there in the skull t shirt he wore to the concert hours ago, and his messy eyeliner the sight truly had you on awe, taking a moment to admire his face and his smile.
At some points during the night, hollis will play songs from his concert, now this was definitely something to get them hype. He'd start with left to right with rommulas, and then gold and then end it with jeans. BY that point you were wayyy to deep in those shots with roman, now fully resting all of your body weight into jonah, your head lazily slumped onto his shoulders. He didn't mind, or maybe even he was too drunk to notice it keeping you in his arm as the night ended, and the people slowly exited the premises until it was just you four again.
"ohh yeah she's gone, i think im just gonna go- get her back to the room" Jonah said softly, now coming to realize just how far you'd gotten, fully slumped into him you head on his shoulder facing roman, as you smiled lazily at him. Roman giggling and smiling back moving some hair from your face. You couldn't hear what hollis and roman were talking about, you just felt jonah help you back to the car- setting you in the back seat as he sat next to you. upon instinct resting your head in his lap feeling his hand rest softly in your hair, and the vibrations the car made as they drove you back to the hotel. It's almost all a blur from there, going in the elevator, then bed, somewhere in between hollis had taken your shoes and dress off putting you in some random tank top you had packed, tucking you in under the covers before you knew it your were out, full face of makeup still on that was gonna leave a nasty break out later but you could care less as you felt yourself drift away to sleep.
The next morning- you woke up around eleven, feeling your old mascara crust your eyes shut as you sat up, rubbing them open letting them adjust to the light in the hotel room you were in alone, not thinking too much of it shuffling around for your phone finding it under your dress at the end of the bed at twenty percent, opening your phone to not an unusual sight, three texts from jonah, just being the digicam pics he took of you two that night, a text from hollis letting you know they headed out and would be back, and almost over three hundred mentions..jesus christ you sighed rubbing your eyes annoyed already as you clicked the first link sent to you.
" y/n and jonah being extra cute at the NYC after party last night !
via :tastybabe22 on insta !"
' jesus what did she do chug a bottle before going in?'
' dude what the fuck is she wearing holy whore'
' oh y'all stfu so annoying omg don't act like y'all never been too drunk at a party before'
You scoffed at the comments, rolling your eyes at the pure stupidity these people carried with them, you opened instagram picking out one of the pictures jonah had sent you, one that he took the camera angle up so both of you were in the shot, jonah smiled softly at the camera looking as handsome as always as you threw up a lazy peace sign your head nestled in the side of his neck you could tell this was taken later in the night when you were definitely drunker by your body language, i mean you were fully slumped into the guy, head in his neck barely even looking at the camera your other hand wrapped around his shoulder , you made the caption small in white letters right in the middle of the screen.
