“Alright it’s officially summer time so I figured, why not celebrate it properly?” Oliver smiled as he finished pouring sangria into two glasses. “I also made some cupcakes, want some?” he asked them as he pointed to the tray filled with cupcakes  that were still cooling down while music played through his apartment for the little party he decided to throw. “How have you been?” he smiled handing the person a glass of sangria.

joey didn’t have a problem sharing disclosure with other acts. she did, however, have a problem with the fact it meant running into eden and her band mates. they were technically there first, but since when did logic ever factor into joey’s thought process? if it weren’t for her friend’s attendance, joey wouldn’t even be at oliver’s party. “what? is it poisoned?” the redhead asked, quickly glancing down to the glass. after a moment of consideration, she forced a smile and took the extended glass. “better than being here sober,” she mumbled into the cup as she took a big sip. “thanks.” forced out just as much as when her mother used to nudge her as a prompt.

“you wouldn’t,” joey shot back without hesitation. “the second those chips are gone, you know i’m running away to find jodie.” she teased as if they weren’t all close. the band being tight-knit was an undisputed fact. even if they acted like kieran and joey did. “it’s not a question of if i’d do it or not. obviously, i’d still do it. valid just means you can’t hold it against me.” the fact they still considered each other best friends after years of their unique dynamic was proof he never held that strong of a grudge, but she’d always play it up for sake of complaining to him. “if you did this you’d make me the happiest girl in the world. which, by the way, you should savor those words while you’re hearing them now because it’s probably super unlikely it will happen to you twice.”

·   ☆     .    𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒏 & @joeyhayler​ . 

the riverfront was quiet this early in the morning , and the rain that splattered against evan’s raincoat had faded into a mist that prickled her cheeks pink . the sun slowly began to rise over manchester , but a sky full of clouds left everything drenched in a steely blue . it was peaceful … but dreary , and sleep finally began to creep up on her after hours of waiting in the shadows , the only thing keeping her from knocking out on a park bench was the takeaway coffee cups warming her palms … and a fiery redhead sat next to her . it wasn’t that they were early risers ; it was that they hadn’t yet gone to sleep . sleepovers were a long lasting tradition for the two of them , and even though they were older –– joey with a place of her own , evan with an apartment uptown –– evan had made a point to make sure that they kept it up . at least one every month . busted sneakers propped up on her skateboard , and she sank further into her jacket with a squinted look out at the water ; she felt sixteen again . “ do you ever wonder what might’ve come of us had this whole music thing never taken off ? ” she blew a stray curl from her face and pondered the thought herself ; surely , without disclosure … without the found … with joey , she would’ve been in a very , very differn’t place . “ i think , perhaps , i would be crying over a mathematics final right now . or maybe in jail , ” her brow furrowed , and a playful smile accentuated by dimples appeared as she glanced over at the redhead , “ okay , probably not jail . but uni wasn’t too far off from it . i had a professor who didn’t smile a single time the whole semester . not once , jo . ” 

growing up, joey was always scolded for never wearing a coat. many nights spent shivering just to prove she was right. evan had the foresight to bring a raincoat. a much better idea than joey with her hoodie tossed to the side. hair just as damp cascading down her back. at least the coffee shops had started to open up. not only was the cheap cup in her hands the only thing warming joey at the moment, it was also they only hope either of them had at getting through the day ahead of them without any sleep. “woah, e. who said you could whip out the existential questions just because it’s still technically late night for us? that’s probably more reason not to, honestly.” the redhead laughed as she watched the curl blown off evan’s face. though it was something joey should have had an answer for, she didn’t. there was no plan for her future if this hadn’t worked out. of course there wasn’t. joey never had backups. she put her all into whatever she was doing. for once, she was shining bright instead of just burning out. “you know, we’d only end up in jail if they caught us.” hair flicked over her shoulder as she turned her attention to the now rising sun. “leave no witnesses and never stay in one place. i think we’d make a great crime-doing duo.” brown eyes settling back on evan as she mentioned the infamous professor scowl. “i would’ve gone to sort him out but he’d probably be smiling even less when i was done with him. either that or some blow to the head would make him always smile. arguably worse.”

joey’s mother had always told her that she left a swirl of chaos in her wake, something that felt especially true now that their band was gaining traction. none of them could deny it was exciting. however, it was exhausting. moments like these were rarer than they were back in school, but they would always find time for each other. in true joey fashion, kieran was made to carry all the food. “what about if you don’t say anything about that but still annoy me? the wack over the head is still valid, right?” a mischievous glint in her eye to match the playful smirk. “is there an expiration date on this? you gotta give a girl some details before she starts to celebrate, walsh.”

STATS

full name: josephine grace hayler. 

nicknames: joey, j. 

age: twenty-two. 

zodiac: aries ( + independent , enthusiastic & - rebellious , obstinate )

sexuality: pansexual.

BACKGROUND

josephine’s mother had been the epitome of femininity her entire life. always dressed to the nines, always glammed up. hearing she was going to have a daughter was great news. small dresses in pretty much every shade of pink imaginable already bought even before she had arrived.

unfortunately for her mother, josephine had never been the most lady-like. when she was young, there was never any arguments about it. josephine would roll her eyes while her mother picked out her dress and did her hair in the morning. her mother would sigh when she came home with fiery curls wild and free from whatever style they had been in before and stains on her dress.

as she got older, however, that changed. like every other girl her age, she was finding herself. she decided that instead of going by her full name, she preferred joey. she ditched the feminine style her mother picked out for her & replaced it with worn jeans that showed bruised knees through the rips. she spent a ton of her time down at the skate park with her friends.

her “ partners in crime ” as she called them. she felt like they were the only people in the world that understood her. between a mother that wanted her daughter to follow in her footsteps and all the people they went to school with thinking she was just embracing this tomboy side for attention ; she decided they were the only genuine people worth her time.

( not to mention, joey isn’t the best at making friends )

she comes on very strong & she won’t take shit from anyone. growing up having to fight for her right to express herself made her think she’d always have to fight. unapologetic and refuses to change herself to fit into anyone’s box.

her passion from drumming first came from the idea it would be therapeutic to repeatedly hit something. it started as a joke but had actually managed to catch her attention. there were never any formal lessons, but lots of following along to youtube tutorials and complaints from the neighbours.

her mother wasn’t fond of joey’s new hobby. honestly? that just inspired her more. along with the jokes of starting a band, it felt like EXACTLY what she should be doing.

before she knew it, their joke had evolved from just that and their bass player had been brought in. they were booking gigs and it felt like they were actually getting somewhere beyond a dream.

there was a huge amount of pressure from her mother to quit the band and “try to make something of herself”. tensions continued to rise between joey and her mother which eventually ended with joey spending her eighteenth birthday moving boxes to the shitty apartment she could barely afford. the independence was worth the exhausting shifts at her job and tight budget when it came to everything else.

actually finding a manger to sign them felt like a miracle. she never lost faith in her friends & their passion project, but actually reaching their goal seemed surreal.

though they still had a long way to go until the fame they imagined when they started out, it’s starting to change their lives.

joey still has the same strong personality she had growing up and would hate the pr aspect and people expecting her to be something she’s not. she wants success, but she won’t throw away her strong sense of self for it.
