"Okay everyone, come downstairs with your drinks." Tyler spoke up as everybody walked down the stairs with glasses of vodka.

A young teen stood in the cold basement staring at the people surrounding at the bottle. She didn't really like much people there but she still decided to tale a seat.

She stared at Troye, not knowing what he was thinking. Was he regretting taking his punk friend? She was not sure, she watched as one of the boy's, "Brendon" she thought his name was.

The bottle skid across the floor around and round like a horse on a carousel, it eventually landed on Troye. "Umm....so we should kiss." Troye said unsure about this because he had just broken up with his boyfriend a couple days before.

"Sure, I am a pretty curious guy." Brendon said biting his lip, they both reached in and kissed, Ashely did not know what happened after that, she remembers that she was mad they were forcing Troye to play a game that he was probably uncomfortable with but besides that entire night was a blur.

All she can remember was being handed a drink and waking up in someone elses bedroom, her jeans were unzipped and laying next to a shirt missing Brendon.

"Oh god." was the only thing she could muster up the words up to say. She instantly got her phone and texted Troye.

Halsey: what happened last night?

Troye: You yelled at Brendon for kissing me, then you passed out

Halsey: Well I'm in a room with Brendon.

Troye: Yeah he said you could spend the night.

Halsey: Where are you?!

Troye: I slept on the couch

Halsey: are you still here!?

Halsey: Answer me! Asshole!

Halsey: TROYE!

Halsey then felt a tug on her leg which then turned into a pull, she landed at the end of the bed and saw Troye crouching down.

"I can't believe you had me sleep next to him!" Ashely yelled at him, Troye rolled his eyes. "He's not like the others. He's not crazy."

"How can you be so sure? Ugh! I'm going to leave, I'm so done." Ashely yelled. Waking up Brendon. "What are you guys doing?"

"Nothing Brendon." Troye assured him, Brendon nodded while looking down at them. "Sorry, I was sleeping next to you. I tried to lay you down, but I fell asleep."

"Uhh...okay." Ashely said, shrugging. Brendon them perked up and said. "By the way, while I was half asleep I thought of a cool nickname for you."

"What?" Ashely quickly said expecting to hear something gross and perverted, he looked up and answered, "Halsey!"

"Halsey! Wake up!" Halsey heard someone exclaiming her name. She woke up in a hospital bed. Melanie stared at her.

"You....you saved my life." Halsey said, Melanie smiled, "oh it was nothing. Troye is in a different room by the way."

"I can't believe this is how we have to meet." Halsey mumbled, Melanie started nodding but stared at her, "ummm.....I had a question. Why do you have people call you Halsey? I mean I get it's an anagram for your real name."

"Well you see one of my old friends used to call me that and it kinda stuck with me." Halsey explained. "Oh, I can understand that. I was once bullied and I stuck with the name they called. Anyways, I'm going to go to the vending machine, do you want anything?"

"No. No I'm good." Halsey assured, shaking her head. "Just be back soon." Halsey said as Melanie left. Halsey looked at her behind as she left.

She looked down, she couldn't believe this.

She was in love with Melanie
