Heart Beats

Part 3

C:Umm I don't know about that.
Al:Have you been to college?
C:No...
Al:Then do it. Explore new places, do things that you never done before. Plus it's fun. I only have 4 classes. It's not gonna kill you.
C: I can't.
Al:Fine. Let's go shopping.
C:Again?
Al:Yes. But I'm gonna film it. But you don't have to. I'm not forcing you.
(I grabbed my bag. I thought about it. It was dumb just asking him.)
Al:I'll see you some time again.
(I turned and left the place. Feeling bad, sad, and a whole bunch of emotions. But yet I'm convincing a stranger to vlog with me? Whatever. I got back to the dorm. Melody was waiting.)
Mel:Hey girl are you still down for us to hang out at Starbucks.
Al:Yeah I'm still down. Just let me change quick.
(She nodded. I went to my room. Changed to something I felt more like myself In..... now that I think about it. Nothing makes me feel like myself. I shrugged it off. Threw on this⬇️)

(It felt more lady like, I'm not a basic bitch either though. I just don't wanna come off as.... I don't know.)
*Melody and I got into the uber*
(Yes we took a uber, why not? it'd be fun. Then we arrived.)
Al:Hey guys! So this is my first vlog.
Mel:wait since when.
Al: Since now. Soooo I just got back from hanging out with Colby.
(Speak of the devil he texted me. He was confused.)
Al:Now I'm hanging with my roomie Mel. About to go job searching.
*Turns off the camera*
Mel:So how'd it go with Colby? Second timing seeing him.
Al:I mean it went good. But then I left because I felt like I was pressuring him. So I left.
Mel:Ally you can't run from your problems.
Al:I didn't. I walked.
(Melody punched my arm. Jokingly.)
Al: Whatever. I probably won't see him anyway.
Mel:True. But I wouldn't be surprised if you did.
*4 weeks later*
(In the past 4 weeks I have gotten a job to be a photographer. Melody is someones manager. I don't remember who. He's a vlogger. I also finished my first vlog. I did a little q & a and a room tour. Melody hasn't really been home a lot. She's always hanging out with that one blonde kid. I don't remember his name.

She was talking about Sam.

(I got caught up in my classes, started vlogging with Melody, which is sorta working out for me along with my job.)
Mel:Hey al, can you drive me to someone's house?
Al:Who?
Mel:Doesn't matter, I'll tell you were to go and pay for gas.
Al:Sure I guess.
Mel:Yayyy.
(We got into my car and drove there.)
Al:So is this the person who you have to manage and all that.
Mel:Yeah. But I don't mind. He's chill, he's that one dude we met.
Al:Which dude?
(We laughed.)
Mel:Sam.
Al:Ohhhh.
(We arrived. Melody told me to stay in the living room. Which I did as she hangs out with Sam or whatever. But knowing me I got up and walked around the living room. He had a Merch rake. 'XPLR' it's really cool.)
C:I'll be outside in a second.
(Colby? He lives with Sam? Who was he talking to? But then I noticed this tall, black haired girl.)
?:Its okie I can wait.
(Colby didn't see me. I just kept walking around. Woah I could use these for my job?)
C:Ok Shea.
(He turned and saw me. He jumped a little. I didn't say anything. I just waved a little and continued looking around.)
C:Shea could you wait a few more seconds.
Sh:Yeah that's fine.
(Colby walked up to me.)
Al:You scared me.
(I laughed.)
C:Ummm. Watcha doing here?
(Sounds a little harsh.)
Al:Oh Melody told me to drive her here. Plus told me to wait in the living room.
C:Oh. Well it's nice to see you again. It's been forever.
Al:Yeah... but I'm sorry for just leaving that day.
C:It's fine.
Sh:Come on colbs.
(Shea said echoing in the background.)
C:bye.
(He said turning around and walking to the door.)
Mel:Ok this could work. We just need someone to-
(I heard Melody say walking down the stairs with Sam.)
Mel:Omg I forgot about her.
(Her?)
Mel:Ally is a photographer.
S:Really? Little old Ally.
Mel:Sam Golbach be nice.
Al: I am a photographer really. So fuck off golbach.
( I smiled.)
Mel:Sorry about him. I was wondering, can you take photos of us for our Merch launch coming out. I'll pay you too.
Al:I guess..  Just show me the outfits and I'll find us a place to go.
(Melody showed me hers. I saw a park down the road with sunflowers.  We drove there. Perfect.)

(Melodys turned out awesome. For Sams I just went through the same park but where the sunflowers weren't.)

Mel:Woah Al. These are good.
(I shrugged. It really wasn't. Sams phone went off before he couldn't say anything.)
S:Hey Colby wants to know if you and I can meet up with him later.
(He said speaking toward Melody. I didn't really care. I was looking through the photos I took.)
Mel: I mean... um...sure.
Al: You guys need a ride?
(Sam looked like he forgot I was here.)
S:I mean that'll be great thank you.
(We got into my car and drove backs debating weather I should go back inside for my bag or just pick it up later.)
S:Come on in Ally.
(He startled me.)
Al:Sure I need to grab my bags anyway.
(We all walked inside. Colby was filming, Melody and Sam walked toward him, I walked and grabbed my bag in the living room.)
Al:I'll send you the photos later.
(I said in a quiet tone. Not trying to interrupt anything.)
C:Allyyyy why don't you stay?
(I don't know? Probably cause it's awkward between us. Or is it? Of course I didn't say it out loud.)
Al:Sure I'll stay..
