5 month skip

I settled in LA. I had a new apartment, it was even slightly bigger. I haven't found anyone here yet. After five months I still dont know anyone.

"Ela you will be interviewing a some people tomorrow" said my boss.
"Ok" I simply replied. "With Jack, also" he added. "Yes sir" I say, and walk out of the office.

"So" "you and me, Ela" Jack begins.

I don't really like Jack. He's like 30 and definitely all over me. Disgusting.

"Mhm" I say. "Unfortunately" I whisper to myself.
"What?" He asks. "Nothing" I say.
"Anyway the interview is on Thursday"
"And it's in Malibu" he adds.
That's an hour away.
"I'm driving there. So I can take you" he continues. "Yeah, thank you" I say.
There is no way I can get there any other way. I'm definitely not paying an uber there, money did get better but I'm still poor.

Day goes on. Then I go home.

"God Ela I miss you" Michael says on the phone. "Yeah I know, I miss you too" i say back. "You know I saw Bill today" he says.
"Really?" "How is he?" I asked. I missed Bill. But after the night I left Tom I just couldn't stand to see him. Not in a bad way. I just knew he would ask questions and I'm sure Tom has told him everything and maybe more, more to make me look worse. "He said he's good" "apparently they have just come from a tour" he says.
"Good for them" I say back. "Yeah" Michael says. "Anyway enough about exes and their twin brothers" he adds.
"He's not my ex" "never dated" I say back starting to feel sad. "Right" Michael says.

"You know what?" He suddenly yells out.
"Huh" I ask. "I should come to LA. "For like a week at least" he adds. "No Michael I can't ask for that. The tickets and all. Its too much money" I say. "Good thing you are not asking then, because I'm so going, also I have enough money, don't worry"

"Thank you Michael" I say. " For what?"
He asks. "Being here for me" "all the time" I say. "Well right back at you" he says.

one week skip

Michael came to LA yesterday and I have my interview tomorrow.

"I don't think I will survive the ride" I tell Michael. "Ela, I really think you should take a cab" he says. "I wish I could" "a cab to Malibu would be lika a million dollars"
"Can't I come with?" He asks. I look at him. Wait that's actually not the worst idea. "Let me call him" I say.

Jack Davis

He picks up the phone."Hello" I say.
"Hi El" he says. El? Dude are you for real?
"I just wanted to ask you if a friend could come with us?" I ask. "Depends" "what kind of friend" he says. What am I supposed to say to that. "A friendly friend?" I say. He laughs "Alright El, bring your friend" "you have to enjoy your teen years" he says. I wish I could punch him in the face. "Alright well, thanks. Bye"
I hang up.

"You are coming with" I turn to Michael.
