It had finally reached the middle of July and surprisingly I was still going strong.

I hadn't talked to Chris in a while, and I didn't really think much of it. We were both stubborn people not willing to see eye to eye and frankly I was okay with it even though it bothered me. He was my best friend and didn't see how him being selfish was effecting the friendship that we built.

But I wasn't going to worry about that because I currently was getting ready to go out and eat at saddle ranch with Mila, Charli, Dixie, Riley and Avani.

We had invited Nessa, in hopes that we could possibly get the friend group back together but it was just going to be too awkward after all that happened a few weeks ago. Plus she knew that Josh was going to be there tonight so she decided against it, and we didn't argue with her.

But anyways, I was currently fixing my hair in the mirror, making sure it straight like how I wanted it.

For my outfit I woke a black race car graphic tee with some black leather baggy pants and my jordan 4 cements. I think one of the best things about being an influencer is actually being able to buy the shoes I want, and not having to deal with resellers anymore. They were the main reason I hated getting sneakers but now I always get exclusive early drops, so I can't complain.

"Are you ready? We're meeting them there. They're already like 5 minutes away." Mila questions, walking into my room.

I nod my head, grabbing a small black purse, and my black sunglasses before heading into the living room to make sure I had everything. "Can you take a picture of me please?" I asked her. Mila mods, taking my phone from my grasp as she steps back to take the photo.

I did a couple different poses until she stopped and handed me back my phone.

I looked through them all, and deleted the ones I hated and kept the ones that I loved before we walked out the door and headed into Mila's car.

The drive to saddle was a quick one, being that it was 8 pm on a Friday.

However I knew this place was going to be packed just by the look of the outside. Paparazzi lined up the side walk, snapping pictures of whoever walked in, asking them questions and it made my stomach turn knowing that once we gave the valet our key, I would be swarmed with questions about things I didn't wanna talk about.

"Cleo! You look amazing tonight! How are you?" Fletcher, the man behind HollywoodFix, questions.

"I'm doing great, how are you?" I replied back, walking semi-fast towards the entrance.

"I'm great! I'm great! So, the fans wanna know! How did you feel about being in the middle of all that tiktok drama from a few weeks ago? I know you're friends with both Nessa and Charli so I know that must've been a hard time for you?" He says, jumping right into it.

I truly didn't know what to say, not really ever thinking about this question.

"I mean, at the end of the day, they're both my friends and I'm a drama free person. So me getting involved in their issues wouldn't really change anything if I'm being honest. There's a lot of different factors that should've been taken into place but it didn't, and everything all went left so... I don't know, but yeah." I shrug, not giving him the chance to further question me.

Mila took a hold of my hand and pulled me through the crowded restaurant, until we reached outside.

When we got out there, it was completely filled with almost every influencer in la. So many tiktokers and youtubers sat in the outside seats of Saddle Ranch, chatting amongst each other, filming, and just overall having fun.
