          Aurora Park tossed her phone beside her, head thrown back against the headboard. The girl's eyes were clenched shut, mouth downturned in what appeared to be dismay. Clutching the white sheets adorning her bed, Rory lifted her head back up, forcing herself to take in her appearance in the parallel mirror.

          She groaned at the mere sight of herself, hands going up to her frizzy hair. It had been a rough night, to say the least. After Valerie had posted that picture on Instagram with that caption, Rory couldn't help but feel a little... down in the dumps.

          The streamer and the actress had been friends for years; Rory wasn't ready to give up their friendship yet. But wasn't she getting ahead of herself? What if that caption was about something else? Maybe they were tired from filming...?

          Honestly, Rory was shooting in the dark.

          Ripping her sheets off, she stood up for the first time in an unhealthy amount of hours. Legs feeling like Jello, Rory stumbled her way to the kitchen to make herself some breakfast. Opting for some cereal seemed like the easiest option that afternoon. She eyed the time, huffing at the number that met her gaze. Of course, it was a well past noon.

          Rory plopped down on her couch with a bowl of frosted flakes in her lap and a hot cup of coffee to her left. She turned on the television, sorting through the rows on Netflix for a decent anime. Finally deciding on one, she shoved a spoonful into her mouth and munched slowly as the boys on her screen practiced for an upcoming volleyball match.

          After downing the last drop of coffee, she wiped her mouth using the back of her hand and picked up her phone. A text popped up.

          rae

          Somehow, Rory knew exactly what the girl wanted to talk about.
