"Okay well I'm going to go shower and get ready." Holly says turning and walking down the hall and Jesse follows mumbling that she will do the same.
I take this opportunity of being alone to call my parents and let them in on the good news.

We talked for nearly an hour and while it took some convincing they finally agreed to let me stay, under the condition I would start to work and make a living for myself.
"Reese you better start getting ready it's almost six." Jesse says coming into the living room in a towel to grab her phone off the table.
I nod and sit up skipping down the hall to my new room, I see my suit case lying on the floor where Holly had tossed it earlier and I kneel down over it looking through and searching for the perfect dress to wear tonight. I finally settle on a black dress that I had worn to my high school graduation party. I can't believe it still fits. I slip it on and I have to admit I feel confident, sexy even.
Alex would probably be upset that I'm going out in such a revealing dress without him but I push that aside deciding to just think about myself for one night. I apply some makeup and curl my hair into loose ringlets, once satisfied with my look I walk downstairs to see both my friends sitting in the kitchen waiting.
"Well don't you look hot!" Holly smirks giving me a thumbs up.
"Took her long enough I would hope she looks good." Jesse growls not even bothering to look up from her phone.
I slap her arm harshly and she lets out a low 'Ouch' causing Holly and I to laugh.
"Okay there's a taxi waiting downstairs, let's go!" Holly jumps up from her seat and Jesse and I follow her down to the street.
We pile in the car and Jesse gives the driver the address of some bar I don't recognize but according to her it's the coolest rock place in the city, I just take her word for it.
We arrive at a busy looking building and I start to walk towards the back of the line of waiting people.
"What are you doing?" Jesse asks grabbing my arm and stopping me.
"What do you mean? I'm going to the line to wait." I say confused as to why she stopped me.
"But we're models, and models don't wait in line." She smirks and motions her eyes to the buff guy with a clipboard blocking the entrance.
"But we're not-" I try to speak but Jesse stops me by covering my mouth and drags me to the door.
"Hi we're just a couple of models in town for the Dior fashion show, I hate to be a bother but we don't have time to wait for the line." Jesse says sweetly faking her best British accent and I go along with it trying not to laugh.
"Yes I hardly see it fit that we wait for such a long time when a handsome man like yourself could just let us right in." I giggle in an awful British accent, trying to match Jesse's surprisingly good acting skills.
The bodyguard gives us questioning looks but just shrugs and opens the red velvet rope, letting us by.
"Thank you, kind sir!" Holly chirps skipping past him, following Jesse and I.
Once we enter the bar I realize why Jesse wanted to come here. There are people scattered everywhere wearing unique expensive looking clothing with edgy, fun hair and I can already tell the music is awesome.
"This is sick." I say and Jesse gives me an I told you so look.
"I'm gonna go grab some drinks, be right back." Holly says and runs off to the high wooden counter that stretches almost the full length of the room.
