MY BEST FRIENDS (A One Direction Love Story) discontinued

Starting to lighten up: chapter 5

THE NEXT DAY:

Desiree' pov.

I woke up and got dressed (outfit in media) after taking a shower, blow drying my hair, and putting on makeup.

I looked at my wrists and the only thing I saw was the SCARS. The scars that remind me of so much and have showed my weakness, but some how have helped me in life. I covered them with a maroon/ brown throw coat (as in media) and then went downstairs.

All of the boys were in the kitchen eating breakfast as usual. I looked at the time and it read 9:16. I never get up at this time, but last night all of my crying wore me out and caused me to go to sleep early and it led me to get up earlier. The boys looked up and noticed me standing there. They just glared at me and I looked down.

I might just move out to give them more space and get out of there 'hair'.
I went upstairs and got my laptop off of my desk and then went back downstairs. I got on GOOGLE and searched in the tab bar 'Apartments for rent' and I selected my location (which Is LA). A big list popped up on the screen and I started looking for a price range. Wait I don't have a job. I sighed and then started looking for jobs in the area. Yeah, my aunt sends me money every month or so, but I won't to earn money on my own.

I looked through the list.

Teacher: I don't have the degree✖️

Bus driver: I'm not really good at driving✖️

Maid: ummm...yeah no✖️

Pole dancer: ewwwww!!!!!✖️

I slammed my laptop shut. Ok, that was disgusting. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to 'fulfill' people's needs and then go home with cash. It kind of wouldn't help that I have been raped before and then going and doing that. It would just remind me and haunt me for the rest of my life.

I looked up and saw that the boys were looking at me. I just opened up my laptop again and looked at jobs....wait. I have 7,500 dollars saved upstairs from my aunt. I ran upstairs and grabbed it. No wait there is 10,000!!!! Yes! I can pay for an apartment, get a decent job, and get out of the boys way.

I went downstairs and opened up my laptop and closed the job list and went on to the apartment list.

1,600 dollars a month✖️:too much

2,000 dollars a month✖️: too much

900 dollars a month✔️: perfect

I clicked on the apartment and read the details:

2 bedroom apartment/condo in the LA area with the beach near by. Two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living room, kitchen, and a pool and gym downstairs! I looked at the pictures and they were amazing.

"What are you doing?" Louis asked.

"I'm uhh...looking at an apartment" I said nervously.

"Why?" He asked.

I paused and then said "I feel that it's the time in my life I need to move, and get my own apartment. Find love and then start a family. I could get this apartment, get a job, and head towards a new direction in life. I could start fresh." Wow where did that come from?

"And why" Niall said with confusion.

"Look guys, you are all wonderful but I need for you guys to let me do this. Let me go and forget about me. I want you all to find out what you love or even who you love and either do it or marry that person. You can find a better best friend and never even have to hear about me or see me again" they all looked stunned. I opened my laptop again and made a bid to the owner.
