Rising Stars. [closed]

Niko sighed as he found Kirby by herself. "Look I know I said we would hang out tonight. But this is cool right? You love partying." He said as he put his arm around her. "Plus she has dance dance revolution which i know you love." He teased her as he kissed her cheek.

---

Mina smiled as she watched him play, "You suck." She teased him as he lost. She normally didn't have too many people over. She took his place and played, beating his score by a lot. She laughed when she seen his face. "It's okay. I have plenty of practice. You know since I own it." She said. She noticed the guys seemed pretty excited about it all. she wondered what it was like to have nothing and then get famous. she couldnt remember because she was so young.

Kirby frowned softly as she looked up at him. "do you really think my band isn't good?" she asked, taking a sip of her drink as she watched him. She didn't want to stay mad at him, and she rarely could... But she really felt like he was choosing this new lifestyle over her and she hated it. Gently she wrapped her arms around him and lay her head against his chest. "I'm really happy for gouNiko, I need you to know that.. Just don't let this tour change you, okay?" she whispered.

*****
Jace chuckled as he watched her beat his score by quite a lot, looking around and smiling as he watched all the guys having a great time." hey look, thanks for this. The party, the publicity everything.. It's gonns help" he told her honestly, knowing his rrceotioninghe media had a large negative impact on the band. He cleated his throat quickly, not meaning to seem so soft.

@ Gunslinger;

Niko frowned, "I do. They are holding you back babe." He explained. He hugged her back, "This isn't going to change me." He said as he kissed her head. He rubbed her back, "Besides you are going to come visit and i'm going to come see you so it will all work out." He said, smirking.

---

Mina looked at him, "Yea well I do love throwing parties. Just try not to get too fucked up. we don't want them to start a rumor about that." She said as she leaned against the machine. When it was time to leave she went with them, then got out of the limo with him. She instantly felt camera's on them. Mina walked into the club with him after they let the paparazzi take some photos. "Okay I need alcohol now." She said, walking with him to the bar. She ordered herself a drink, then waited for him. She knew they had to hang out for the night because people would be watching them. She looked over as Niko walked in with Kirby, "So why does she seem so upset with him?" She asked Jace.

@ KhaleesE16

Kirby nodded softly and gently kissed his cheek before pulling away. "I'm gonna go fix my make up, I'll meet you in the limo okay?" she suggested and quickly went to the bathroom to fix herself up. She quickly headed back out to the limo and sat down beside Nijo before they took off, resting her hand on his leg, she plastered a smile on her face, knowing the paparazzi would be there as soon as they stepped out, not that she ever made it in to any of the stories.

*****

Jace ordered himself a double whiskey with lime and told the barman to put both drinks on his tab before lead g Mina over to a table in the VIP area. "it could be a number of reasons, but I think Mikey said something about him completely ignoring her and just talking about himself earlier. Think she's sad he's leaving for so long too" he told her with a shrug, watch g them on the dance floor, Kirby clearly wishing she was somewhere else.

"so anyway, tell me a little more about you, where did you frow up?" he asked, glad the music was a little quieter up here.

@ Gunslinger;

Niko walked into the club with her and ordered them some drinks. He handed her one, seeing she looked upset. "Oh come on this is fun. You love clubs." He said, smiling at her. He knew she liked to go out and have fun.

---

Mina nodded, "Yea but shouldn't she be happy that he is doing what he really wanted to do?" She asked him. She took a sip of her drink when he asked where she grew up. "Well I grew up about an hour from where I live now. Though we moved in this area when I was like fourteen." She said, shrugging. "What about you?" She asked him.

@ KhaleesE16

Kirby put a weak smile on her face and nodded "Yeah it's great... Just stick by é okay? It's our last night together" she told him softly, taking one ofhe drinks from his hand and kissing his cheek. The beers from earlier was starting to kick in giving her that nice tipsy feeling, helping her to ease up a little bit.

****
Jace shrugged "yeah I guess, I think she's just afraid to lose the guys he knows, they've been together since they were in high school, I'm pretty sure they even used to play pub gigs as a duo while they were trying to break in" he said watching them for a minute more before turning his full attention on her. "you've really never lived outside of LA?" he asked her i disbelief. "grew up just outside Boston, moved in to the city when I was 17 then moved out here after I got picked for the band" he told her with a shrug.

@ Gunslinger;

Niko nodded, "Sure I will stay near you." He said. He took a sip of his drink as he kept his arm around her. He watched everyone in the club, seeing the guys having a good time. Niko finished his drink, "I am going to grab another drink." He said. He stepped away from her and went to get a drink.

---

Mina shook her head, "Why would i want to live anywhere else. it's amazing." She said. Mina nodded when be mentioned living in boston. "I don't know how your could handle living there. I couldn't handle the cold." She said, laughing.

@ KhaleesE16

Kirby smiled soft and began to sway to the music as he left, looking out at the crowd. She would much rather prefer to be down on the main dance floor than up herein the vip area. She tossed back her drink, leaving her Glasson a nearby table a D just let herself dá cé to the music, her hands winding themselves in to her blue hair.

******
Jace chuckled "its great, I love thewinterweather its my favourite! I honestly can't really stand it out here. Everything is so.. Plastic he said, turn g his nose up slightly as he sipped his drink.

@ Gunslinger;

Niko returned, frowning when he seen her dancing with guys around her. He sighed as he walked to the VIP section and sat down. Niko took a sip of his beer, watching her closely.

--
Mina laughed, "Baby, it's LA of course its plastic." She said. She watched him, "You just havent had fun out here yet. You have to experience the beach and yacht parties. Not the snooty lame ones but the ones with all the alcohol and dj. Plus the food out here is amazing and there is so much to do. There is some pretty awesome places to hike as well." She explained. "Outside of the city of course. I could show you after your tour if you want." She suggested.

@ KhaleesE16

Kirby continued to dance, but as she heard the song change for the third time she looked around, it couldn't have taken Bijo that long to get a drink. Finally spotting him, she headed straight over to the table. "why are you over here?" she asked, trying her best not to get herself worked up again. She couldn't believe he couldn't even keed a promise to her for more than 5 minutes.

****

Jace shrugged and nodded "Yeah sounds kind of cool i guess.. Just not the hikes. I not a hiking kind of guy" he said with a laugh, taking another slow sub of his beer as he looked around. All Jace wanted to do was grab all the guys and throw back some shots, but he knew he needed to be seen with Mina, acting prim and proper. "jesus grist this pleasing the paparazzi thing gets old fast.." he commented, leaning back in the chair.

@ Gunslinger;

Niko looked at her, "I was watching you dance." He said. "What's wrong? What did I do now?" He asked, frowning. He didn't understand why she was being so clingy all of the sudden.

---
Mina laughed softly, "It does but it pays off. If you want to get drunk. You can. I will make sure you don't get into too much trouble." She told him.

@ KhaleesE16

"nothings wrong" Kirby said biting down on her lip as she looked over him. "I just thought you'd come dance with me" she said, twirling a piece of her hair on her finger before sitting down next to him at the table. She sighed softly, looking down at her lap. It felt like he just didn't care anymore.

****

Jace glanced up at her raising an eyebrow "you sure? I don't want this to have an opposite effect and I drag down your rep" he said with a shrug, but he'd already finished his beer.

@ Gunslinger;

Niko sighed, "Babe, You know I hate dancing." He said. He looked at her and leaned over and kissed her. "I did like watching you put there though." He said as he ran his hand over her thigh.

--

Mina nodded, "I am sure. I suggest doing them up here though. You are less likely to have people on you." She said. She looked over at one of the waitresses and order a couple bottles of liqour. She looked at Jace then leaned back against her seat and took a sip of her drink. "There you go." She said as the bottles were sat in front of him. It wasn't long before the others joined him to do shots.

@ KhaleesE16

Kirby smiled gently and kissed him back, glamci cover as she noticed all the guys gathering around Jace. She could see niko watching over at them too and rolled her eyes with a soft laugh before stand g up off his lap and leading him over. "don't forget us!" she called out with a laugh, her eyes avoiding Mina as she picked up the shot and clinked it against the others before pouring it back her throat holding the glass out for another, her smile growing as she looked at nico and the guys, maybe it could be like old times.

****
Jace smiled and thanked her, puringshots for everyone, including one for Mina, he was sure it wouldn't hurt. "to publicity stunts!" he said with a hearty laugh before they all downed their shots and he quickly refilled everyone's again. He kept glamci g down at his fake brunette girlfriend. He was stíl trying to see past how spoiled she acted earlier, he really hoped that wasn't what he was I. For for the next few months.

@ Gunslinger;

Niko followed her and threw back the shots with his friends. He was glad they were able to just have fun at their party. Niko finished his beer and ordered another one as the shots were poured.

---

Mina took to shot from Jace when he offered it to her and threw it back. She set the glass down and was surprised when he handed her another one. Mina did another one and then decided she was done. She watched as they all talked and then got up and slipped away from them. Mina walked into the bathroom and took one of the pills she had, chasing it with the alcohol. She sighed as she looked in the mirror before she finished her drink and walked out. She knew the alcohol and drugs was going to push her way over her limit. Mina ordered another drink and returned to the VIP section.

@ KhaleesE16

Kirby leaned back against niko, laughing as she joked around with the rest of the band. When she noticed Mina coming back from the bathroom and heading from the bar, she stood up of Niks lap and teeters slightly I. Her heels as she felt the alcohol rush to her head.

She walked up to the bar, confident with drunkeness and placed her hand on Mina's shoulder. "I want to talk to you" she said, her face too close to Mina.

*****

Jace glanced around at all the guys smiling. "this is it for the next year boys, just us, some gigs and a lot of great times" he said, pouring them each another drink since the girls had left. "how you feeling about heading on tour?" he asked them all, but his gaze was falling on Niko.

@ Gunslinger;

Mina was surprised when she felt someone touch her. People didn't do that. She looked at Kirby, "Okay. About what?" She asked as she took a sip of her drink. She slowly removed the other girl's hand. She really hoped she wasn't trying to start a fight because she didn't like confrontation. Plus, the drugs she had taken had really made her mellow out and made her want to just go sit and drink.

---

Niko looked at Jase, "Yea I'm excited." He said, throwing back a shot. "If Kirby would quit acting like i'm going to fall off the face of the earth." He added, taking a sip of his beer. he didn't know why she thought he was just going to up and leave her. "Am I acting different because she said I am." He said.

@ KhaleesE16

Kirby stared at her for a second, pushing her long blue hair back behind her beer, shuffling nervously from one foot to the other. " look i know you think I'm just a nothing who happens to have a famous boyfriend... But I've known these guys as long as they're together... Don't hurt Jace. I know it fake and whatever, but you hurt him you hurt them all, okay?" she said quickly, masking her threat with a friendly smile as she ordered herself a vodka and turned away from Mina, feeling her face eburning.

****

" you guys having problems? " Jace asked, as if he hadn't witnessed the outburst earlier and Mikey hadn't told him everything else. He looked at Niko for a minute, trying to make out what type of answer he wanted to hear. "Look man, I see you every day, I'm not gonna notice these things-incase you have T read I'm an egoist" he joked and took a sip of his drank, glancing over at Kirby at Mina. "Mikey did mention something about you not even telling her you were happy about the possibility of their album, maybe that's it? But I mean if you think she's wrong just tell her" he offered with a shrug to deny himself of any responsibility. "now cheer up, it's the first Night before we start a National tour!"

@ Gunslinger;

Mina frowned at the girls words, then watched as she ordered a drink. She grabbed her arm, "Do you really thin that is what i'm going to do?" She asked. "You do realize he is the first person to hang out with me without asking what's in my bank account right?" She said. Mina sighed, "You wouldn't understand that though because you have friends." she said before she walked away from her. She walked back to the guys and sat down, looking at Jace once he looked at her. She gave him a small smile before she looked at her phone, answering a few text from people.

---

Niko shrugged, "I mean I am happy for her. I just don't want her to get to into it. I think she is more talented than what they make her out to be is all." He said shrugging. He quit talking about it when Mina returned. He wondered what Kirby said to her. He smiled as Kirby joined them again, putting his arm around her. He didn't want her to be upset with him. He knew that they would have to adjust to being on tour and stuff. It was all new.

@ KhaleesE16

Kirby rolled her eyes at Mina and shook her grip off her. "posh I'm so sorry, I didn't realise how hard it was to have actual money in the bank. I guess I've just never u derstood the hardships of knowing that I could 100% without a doubt pay my rent" Kirby said sarcastically and took a step away, turn g back momentarily to glance at her. "Get a grip Mina. People only care about your money if you do. Maybe try not insulting people and those close to them when you first introduce yourself. It might be a good place to start." she quipped, shaking her head softly and heading back to the table, pitching herself on Nikos lap happily and kissed his cheek." what'd I miss?? " she asked happily, looking around at all the guys." How about a game of Odds? " she suggested with a smile, remember g back to how they used to pass their time at longboard meetings.

****

"everything okay?" Jace asked Mina casually as she returned to the table. He knew she had said she'd order some more drinks, but she came back empty handed. He decided agaí st bringing it up, figuring she just forgot. He grinned as Kirby suggested odds and began to laugh, he was ki dg at this game. He glanced at Mina seeing she was confused and begun to explain. "basically its like truth or dare, but with only dares. You pick an odd.. So say one in 10, and then you and the person who dated you have to both say a number between one and 10 at the same time. If they say the same one as you, you gotta do it.. But if they don't.. Well then they have to do it" he said with a laugh, rubbing his hands together. "everybody up for it?"
