Isn't it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home

        The small mini pre-party lasted two hours of fun. Nicholas drove himself, Ashley, Justin, and Michela while Jake drove himself and his lover. The car ride seemed very fast because the next thing the three couples knew, they were leaving the car and stood in front of a big house with Halloween decorations. When they entered, they saw that the dance floor was full of people dancing, alcohol was pungent in the air and Michela wrinkled her nose at the smell. Jake nudged her,

"Welcome to your first official college party,"

Michela laughed,

"Yeah, whatever,"

Bryce smirked,

"Have some fun, but be careful, stick with one of us...mostly stick to your boyfriend,"

Justin chuckled and put his hand on her shoulder,

"You got that right, I'm not letting you go off on your own,"

Michela rolled her eyes and jokingly sighed,

"Darn, there goes plans B to F,"

Everyone chuckled. Nicholas smirked,

"Miss Harley Quinn, may I have this dance?"

Ashley smirked,

"I guess you can Joker,"

Nicholas smiled and dragged her to the dance floor. Bryce smirked and dragged Jake away to get some drinks, non-alcoholic of course. Michela looked up at Justin and smirked,

"What do you want to do Lucifer?"

Justin smiled and nodded over to the table,

"Let's get some food and then dance,"

Michela smiled brightly as the two walked to the food table.

Throughout the next hour, Nicholas had a few drinks and Justin had two. Ashley knew to stay sober so she could drive and Michela scolded Jake when she saw him holding a drink but was whisked away by Justin to dance. Michela felt herself melt in his embrace as they slow-danced. Justin smiled down at her softly,

"I'm glad that we came to this masquerade,"

Michela chuckled and nodded,

"Yeah...however, I did manage to slap a different werewolf,"

Justin burst into laughter at her words. Michela looked down momentarily and smiled back up at him,

"I'll be right back, okay?"

Justin nodded,

"Alright, don't take too long,"

Michela chuckled and nodded.

With Nicholas and Ashley

The two adults decided to go into a room, tired of all the people around them. Nicholas pulled Ashley in for a kiss. Ashley smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around him as the two laid down softly on the bed. Nicholas slowly kissed down her jaw and neck. He nibbled as Ashley moaned softly. Nicholas smirked and looked at her,

"I love you, Ash,"

Ashley smirked back at him,

"I love you too, Nick,"

They kissed again and Ashley stopped hesitantly,

"I will be right back, do you want another drink?"

Nicholas smiled and nodded,

"Can you get me some punch?"

Ashley smiled and nodded,

"For sure, be right back,"

Nicholas nodded and laid back down after Ashley left.

Nicholas's POV

I can't wait to marry Ash...just two more weeks and then she will officially be Ashley Belasco. I heard a knock and sluggishly looked up as I saw Ashley come back in...where are the drinks?

"Hey Ash, where are the drinks?"

I couldn't really see all that great and my mind was a bit fuzzy...that probably is because of the alcohol...she sounds different though,

"I forgot to do something,"

She walked closer to me and I sat up fully and smirked,

"And what that might be?"

"This.."

Next thing I know, we were kissing again. I wrapped my arms around her...wow the alcohol must really have started affecting me, I don't feel anything kissing her...why? She wrapped her legs around my torso and pulled me closer. I moaned when I felt her gently tug my hair. I opened my eyes and looked at her in the eye....wait....are those blue eyes?! This is NOT Ash!

3rd POV

Ashley didn't bother knocking when she entered the room that Nicholas is in. Ashley looked at the scene in horror: A girl with black hair dressed as Harley Quinn was making out with HER Fiancé. Both drinks fell out of her hands and the two broke apart. Nicholas gasped when he saw Ashley,

"A-Ash?"

Ashley shook her head, tears streaming down her face,

"H-How could you?!"

Nicholas immediately stood up uneasily, slightly stumbling,

"N-no! It's not what it l-looks like!"

Ashley shook her head and looked at her ring on her finger...the turquoise was gleaming in the light, she took it off and threw it at Nicholas,

"WE ARE DONE!"

Nicholas stood frozen while he watched as the love of his life ran away from him. Ashley ran into Michela and Michela gasped,

"Ash?!"

Ashley looked at her best friend and shook her head.

"I-I...N-Nick...h-he was kissing some...someone else,"

Michela's eyes widened in shock,

"What?!"

Ashley shook her head in pain. Michela frowned as fury entered her heart and soul. Ashley grabbed her arm,

"L-let's just go,"

Michela nodded and wrapped an arm around Ashley's shoulders,

"Of course...I'm just gonna tell Justin that I'm going,"

Ashley nodded. The two sped walked over to the corner where Justin and Michela were before she left. The two girls stopped when they saw the second horror of the night: Justin had his arms around a girl in an angel costume and was kissing her. Michela felt her world crashing around her. She felt Ashley touch her arm and saw her mouth moving but she couldn't hear her. She touched her tennis necklace momentarily. She looked at Ashley,

"I'm done, Ash..."

Ashley watched in shock as Michela took off the necklace. Michela stalked up to the two kissing people. She tugged Justin off of the Angel. Justin did a double-take at seeing the angry Michela,

"M-Michela?"

Michela glared at him,

"I'm done, Justin...I can't believe you,"

Justin was horrified. He thought that he was just kissing her. Next thing he knew, Michela slammed her necklace in his hand,

"Keep that stupid necklace and don't talk to me ever again,"

Michela ran out with Ashley following her, both leaving a heartbroken boy behind. Ashley got in Bryce's car after Michela rolled her eyes and gave her his car keys that Bryce quickly tossed at them when he took one look at both girls. Jake and Bryce knew something happened when they saw the two girls and were confused and it pained them to see the tears in their eyes. Ashley and Michela got in and Michela glanced at Ashley,

"Where are we going?"

Ashley looked at Michela in sadness,

"You and I are going away for a bit...we both have a break from school and I can't even imagine facing Nicholas right now,"

Michela winced at how Ashley said his name, Ashley took out her phone and pulled up contacts. She looked at Michela and nodded,

"Let's block both of those boys,"

Michela looked and sighed. She knew that this was the best way to deal with the pain in her chest and nodded. Both girls blocked the two brothers. Ashley turned on the car and drove,

"Let's get away from this,"
