chapter thirty four,
a hallows eve special

    Everyone in the industry knew about Mercy Monroe's famous Halloween party. It was the annual event of the year and was insanely popular.

The last costumes Nailea had were iconic, but it was a matching costume. With Micheal. It was Juno and it was so very amazing.

So, in order for her to be even better this year – Nailea had to come up with something even more show stopping.

Tyler Durden.

Nailea zipped up her maroon colored boots as the  last thing she needed to finish her costume.

"Nailea!" Remy called out as she walked out of the messy compacted bathroom, "Are you nearly ready?"

As Nailea looked up she accidentally let out a giggle. "What?" Remy pouted while frowning.

"You're.. uhm Mr Worldwide?" Nailea snarked.

Remy squinted, "Oh yeah? At least I'm a real person!"

"Shut up! Tyler Durden is a real fucking person. He's hot and iconic." Nailea stood up and firmly crossed her arms across her chest.

"What is the first rule of Fight Club?" Remy joked as she opened the door of Nailea's apartment.

"Just get out." Nailea rolled her eyes with a smirk, following after her friend.

As the two walked to Remy's car, the girl brought up a topic that Nailea had been trying her best to avoid.

"So, are we going to talk about the tweet you made?" Remy asked, her eyes flickered over to Nailea.

"No. No we are not." Nailea says, not looking over to face Remy.

Remy and Nailea arrived at Mercy's gigantic Halloween party mansion. The two arm linked with each other's arms as they stepped into the house.

"How the fuck did she afford all of this?" Remy exclaimed.

"Who knows!" Nailea yelled slightly, trying to talk over the loud music.

They walk past a group of people with amazing costumes. As they turn a corner they run into Mercy.

"Babes!" Mercy screams, almost spilling the drink in her hand while going in for a hug.

Mercy sways along to the music as she talks, "Mr Worldwide and Tyler Durden. Great choices. Love the gender bending."

"Thanks." Remy laughed, "And you're a zombie? a pageant queen? a uh.." she trails her words waiting for Mercy to finish.

"I'm Miss Argentina. From Beetlejuice." Mercy looks at the two whose faces are blank.

"Oh! This is what happens you die. I get it now." Nailea nods as she quotes a line from the character.

"Whatever." Remy sighed before leaving the trio.

Almost an hour passed since Nailea had arrived, and she was ready to leave. Which wasn't hardly surprising knowing she's the person to leave first.

"Hey, Rem. I might head home." Nailea gives her friend the heads up.

"Okay, babe. Everything alright?" She asked after taking a drink from her cup.

"Yeah, I'm just super tired." Nailea shrugged off.

The conversation soon came to end and left Nailea walked to the front door to leave. As she opened the door, she was met face to face with a person, almost knocking them over if she moved an inch.

"Sorry!" She immediately said taking a step back without looking at who it was.

"You're all good." the voice calmly spoke.

"Tyler Durden. Nice." The voice spoke again before Nailea could even look up. But she didn't have to. She knew exactly who it was.

"Thanks." She replied dryly. As her eyes turned toward the voice, she was taken aback by their costume.

It was Nicholas. As The Narrator. They had a matching halloween costume.

"You've got to be joking." Nailea laughed as she looked at him.

"What?" He frowned. "What's so funny?"

"Nick. You literally saw my post. Of course, this is so you." Nailea shook her head.

Nick couldn't help but smile at the girl getting all worked up over a costume.

"This is ridiculous, Nai. You're overacting about a costume." He snickered.

Nailea let out a long sigh, "You finding this so funny, aren't you?" she shook her head once again

"And what would I be finding funny?" He raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to respond.

"Just get out of my way." Nailea rolled her eyes, not wanting to deal with him tonight. Especially after what happened the other day.

"Nai! You're still here! Look it's our song!" Mercy exclaimed as Just Dance came on. A tradition of Mercy's halloween party was that the golden trio had to get onto the dance floor during their song.

Mercy grabbed ahold of Nailea's arm, dragging her through the crowd. The two meet Remy as she already was dancing.

As the song continued to play, Nailea felt more relaxed. The comfort of the familiar song and being with her best friends.

The girl spun around and was stopped when she saw Nicholas starring at her with a soft smirk against a wall.

Nailea tried her best to shrug it off, turning to back to distract herself by dancing around, but it stuck with her.

She couldn't get rid of him. No matter what she did.

"Go to him." She heard Mercy say next to her. Nailea gave her look and shook her head. "Go." Mercy repeated.

Nailea felt the urge to fight back and say no to Mercy but she didn't. She walked right over to Nicholas.

"What are you doing here?" Nailea asked standing in front of the boy.

Nicholas chuckled at how she was bringing everything up again, "Let's not do this right now, Nai."

"No. We are not going to avoid this and pretend everything is alright, because it isn't." she harshly spoke.

Nicholas let out a sigh.

"I love you. I love you so much, Nailea Marie Holloway. That's the full truth, you drive me crazy and being away from you made me realise how important you are to me."

Nailea furrowed her brows, "What?" she almost stuttered while trying to talk.

"Why do you act like you don't feel the same way?" Nick's voice began weary.

"I have no clue what you're talking about." Nailea said. She tucked her hair behind her ear as she tried to look away from him.

"Seriously?" He scoffed.

"Seriously." she repeated back to him. He watched as she blankly lied to him.

"Why are you looking at me that way?" Nailea asked finally looking up at him. He didn't respond, he only was staring down at her.

"I really do love you so much, Nai." he playfully smiled at her. His eyes glanced at her in a way she had never seen before.

Nailea's heart was beating fast. Very fast. She couldn't tell if it was from his words or because deep down, she knew she felt the exact same way.

"I.." Nailea finally spoke, "I have to go."

"Nai–" he tried to call out for her but she had already turned to corner towards the exit.

"Dude." Mercy spoke, half scaring him. "C'mon."

Nicholas confusedly looked at her, "What?"

"Don't let her go again."
