Cheater.

One week later.

"Yeah that sounds great."

"Awesome."

"Okay bye."

Allison says as she hangs up the phone.

"Hello you're Allison?" The very formal woman asks Allison as she reaches her hand out for Allison to shake.

"Indeed I am." Allison says shaking the woman's hand.

"Okay well we decided to place you in the penthouse. I know it's a very high traffic area in la but there is a lot of opportunity here for you to grow as a photographer. I hope you understand." The lady says as she opens the door.

"No yeah this is perfect." Allison smiles.

"Alright well it's fully furnished. We have a few photo shoots set up for you in the upcoming weeks but for right now we just wanna give you time to get settled." The lady smiles.

"Okay yeah that's perfect. Thank you!" Allison smiles.

"No problem! Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns!" The lady smiles as she walks out of the door.

"Okay! I will." Allison smiles as she closes the door.

"Obviously I've tried calling her mom I've called her over 100 times she won't answer." Billie sighs.

"Well maybe she didn't mean it she just needed time to settle in."

"It's been over a week mom. She meant it." Billie rolls her eyes.

"Did you try to text her?" Maggie sighs.

"Yes fuck obviously I've texted called shit I've even dm'd her." Billie starts to cry.

"I thought Claudia was gonna talk to her once she landed?" Maggie questions.

"She was supposed to but she's been busy."

"Try to call her again." Finneas suggests.

"Fine." Billie rolls her eyes as she pressed call.

On the last ring the phone answers.

-"What part of break do you not understand?"- Allison says annoyed.

"Allison wait please don't hang up." Billie says trying to hold back her tears.

-"What Billie."- Allison says annoyed.

Billie thought she hated her nickname. That was until she heard Allison call her by her real name. Ouch

"Uh- I- I didn't mean it- what I said- I'm so sorry...How are you doing? Are you okay?" Billie asks, no longer able to hold back her tears.

Allison let's out a big breath. -"Okay Billie- uh- I'm fine. I've got a really nice penthouse. I'm starting work within the next few weeks. And everything's pretty much set up for me here. And uh- I didn't mean it. What I said. I thought you were gonna stop me. I was waiting Billie. I sat at the airport waiting for you because I thought you would never let me walk away that easily. You didn't call or text for days after. If you didn't mean it Billie why did you let me leave?"- Allison says with a few tears in her eyes.

Silence

"I-" Billie starts. "I'm so sorry-" Was all she could say.

-"I'm sure you are Billie. But I- I'm finally setting up a life for myself. I'm finally doing something for  me no one else just me and I'm happy Bill- I'm so fucking happy right now."- Allison chuckles a little at the end.
