The Fall

Video

I woke up to a phone call. It's 10am. Who in LA is already awake at 10?

"Hello" I said trying to sound alive.

"Hey Isabelle? It's Ethan"

"Oh, hey! Sorry I didn't have your number yet." I guess Grayson gave him my number?

"Yeah sorry, I got it from Gray." Ethan said.

"Oh okay... so what's up?" I said with a laugh.

"Oh! Yeah, right.. ummm well Gray went to get something installed in his car installed and I was wondering if you wanna like, hang out?" 

"Uhh yeah! It's kinda early, what do you wanna do?" I'm still laying in bed...

"I was gonna see if I could come over so we could plan our video and just hang out?" Ethan?? Come over??

"Yeah that's cool. I need to shower." I said with a laugh.

"Ohh, well that's cool I'll just wait for you to get out. Text me your address." He insisted.

"Okay then, see you soon." I said and hung up. I'm not pre pared. At ALL.

I sent him my location and told him that my door was unlocked.

I didn't know we were this close already but I guess so. Considering he lives 15 minutes away and it takes me at least 40 to get ready...

I hoped up and got in the shower. I washed my hair as fast as I could so I could at least have it down when he got here.

His number popped up. "I'm here" the text read. I checked myself in the mirror to make sure I didn't look like absolute trash. I look somewhat acceptable.

I heard the door open as I was walking toward it.

Ethan's p.o.v:

When I woke up this morning, Gray was gone.  I realized I had a chance to hang out with Isabelle alone. Gray always gets the girls we meet first. So I took it upon myself.

I pulled up to her apartment complex. It was nice. I grabbed my keys and the coffee I bought for us and walked up to her door.

I knocked but she told me that it was open so I walked in.

She was right there when I opened the door.

"Hey" she smiled.

"Hi" I smiled back.

"Whatchya got there?" She walked over to me.

"I bought us coffee! You do drink coffee right??"

"Yeah! That's so sweet, thank you." I handed her one of the cups.

"I hope you drink almond milk. I kinda forgot that not everyone is dairy free" I laughed, hoping she would still drink it.

"That's perfect, thank you" she smiled and took a sip.

"Sooo I'm gonna finish getting ready so we can go do whatever later. You can come with me" she laughed.

It was awkward but not in a bad way.

She was wearing black ripped skinny jeans and a plain white T-shirt. Simple but yet so attractive.

"Well obviously this is the hallway" she said as I followed her to her room.

"This is my room. I also have one other room on the other side of the house. It's not big but it's cozy. Especially just for me."

"I like it. How did you decorate so fast?" She already had art hanging on the walls and plants spread out everywhere. If I didn't know she just moved in I would have thought that she had been here for months already.
