alysia's pov

"aria's parties are actually pretty chill for the most part, at least from what i remember." i shrugged.

"yeah, they are." dahlia agreed from the backseat.

i parked the car and we all unbuckled, getting out of the car afterwards. i walked over to billie and interlocked our fingers, sending her a smile. we walked to the door and went inside, the music suddenly overwhelming. i recognized most of the people in the house, but there was quite a bit that i didn't.

i saw aria across the room and smiled at her when she noticed me. she walked over to me and billie, seeing as dahlia had walked over to a boy that i didn't recognize.

"hi, it's been so long!" she greeted as approached us. i let go of billie's hand momentarily to give aria a quick hug.

"i know! it really has been." i said as i stepped back from the hug, immediately interlocking mine and billie's fingers again.

"so who's this?" aria asked.

"this is billie, my girlfriend." i grinned.

"wassup?" billie greeted.

"nice to meet you. i'm aria."

"ditto." billie smiled.

somebody called aria's name and she looked back at them for a second before turning back to us. "i'm going to go see what he needs but have fun, alright?"

"will do."

as she walked off, i turned to face billie. "you used ditto! see, it's not that hard of a word to understand." i teased.

"i hate you." she mumbled.

"sure you do." i laughed. "you want something to drink?"

"sure." she shrugged.

i lead her into the kitchen, walking over to the counter where there was a variety of drinks. i turned to her. "what do you want?"

"just a canned coke is fine."

i nodded and grabbed one, handing it to her. i grabbed a cup for me. i grabbed the bottle of crown and filled the cup a little past halfway, then grabbed some of the apple juice and poured some into cup, mixing the two liquids together (a/n i highly recommend this shit, it's good as hell.)

i took a sip, savoring the taste. we walked back to the living room, where most of the people were. i smiled when i saw brooks and august. we walked over to them and i introduced to billie. while most of my school were homophobic assholes, there was quite a bit of people who wasn't.

billie's pov

me and alysia have been at the party for about an hour now. she's introduced me to a few of her friends and they're all pretty chill, which is nice.

after she introduced me to her friends, we found an empty couch, sat down, and just talked. alysia glanced around, her smile soon being replaced with a frown, and her grip on my hand tightening it a little. i furrowed my brows and followed her line of vision to see a girl walking towards us, a small smirk on face.

the girl reached where we was sitting. completely ignoring me, she turned her attention to alysia. "what's up? long time no see!"

"yeah. it's been a while." alysia mumbled, shifting her position slightly.

"how are you, baby?" she asked.

did she really just-

"excuse me, who are you?" i asked, making the girl look at me, a glare on her face.

"ciel." she stated simply. "and you are..?"

"billie. alysia's girlfriend."

"her girlfriend?"

"yeah. her girlfriend."

i really want to punch her right, but i know that if it were to get out that i got into a fight, then it would be bad for my image, especially since i'm just starting my career.

"that's... nice." ciel fake smiled.

i looked at alysia and frowned at how uncomfortable she looked. i turned back to ciel. "well as much as we would just love to sit here and talk to you, we've actually got to go. see you later, maybe?" i said, giving her a fake smile as well.

"of course."

i got up and alysia mimicked my action as i walked to where dahlia was. i tapped on her shoulder to get her attention. "we're going back to alysia's. are you coming with us?"

she shook her head. "i'll catch a ride. text me when you two get home."

"will do."

we walked outside and reached her car. "you driving?"

she shook her head and pulled her keys out of her jacket pocket. she tossed them to me and we got into the car. i drove away from the party before glancing at alysia, only to see her fidgeting with her fingers nervously.

"who was that, angel?" i asked softly.

"my ex." she mumbled.

my mouth formed a small "o" shape as i nodded my head. "that explains it, i guess."

"yeah... she's..." she stopped as she tried to find the right word. "i don't know... i don't really like talking about her, to be honest."

"that's fine, baby."

we got to her house about fifteen minutes later. i texted dahlia to let her know that we got home then set my phone to the side as i pulled alysia into my lap. "you good, mama?" i asked, resting my head on her shoulder and wrapping my arms around her waist.

"yeah. i'm good." she mumbled. "just tired."

"wanna take a shower then go to sleep?"

"only if you shower with me." she replied suggestively.

"bet." i smirked.
