"Please turn that down!" Elias begged as he stood in my doorway. I've had Pure Heroine on repeat for the last three hours as I wallowed in self pity. Hah, Wallow. I had no idea why this fake relationship was getting to me so badly. I think I was just nervous to see how the public would react. To top this all off, Phoebe set me up with this random guy and we were going on a date tonight. I've always said to never waste your Friday night on a first date, but here I was.
"Leave her alone Eli." Grace said as she walked into my room. "Hi babe. I figured you'd want my help picking out an outfit for tonight, yeah?"
I nodded. "Yeah. Thank you."
"You manage to look pretty even when you feel like shit. I don't know how you do it." Grace chuckled. She walked over to my closet and searched through all of the articles of clothing hanging up. "Where are y'all going?"
"I think a bar. It's downtown so it'll probably be kinda nice." She nodded and grabbed a dress. It was a long sleeve white dress that was fairly simple.
"Pair it with this vest and your brown heeled boots, it'd look perfect." She smiled. "My advice is to always wear heels on a first date to see if you're taller than him, and if you are, see how he reacts to that."
"Smart." I said. "I hope it doesn't get too cold tonight."
"It shouldn't. I checked the weather and it said the lowest was seventy." Grace replied.
I fell back onto my bed with a satisfied look on my face. "I love living in LA."
"Me too girl. What do you think your date will be like?" She rummaged through my jewelry to find pieces that would compliment my outfit.
"I hope he's cute. Although I don't really think its a good idea for me to try to get into a relationship right now. With the PR thing and Harry."
"What do you mean 'and Harry'?" She raised an eyebrow.
I tried to conceal my smile but it was hard. "Well...There isn't really much going on but we've hung out a few times and every time has been so amazing. At the party we both got mildly intoxicated and laid on a swing together. It was nice."
"The few times I've seen you two together I can tell how happy he makes you. Even if you've only known each other for a couple of weeks, the heart knows best." Grace said.
"I told him about the PR thing and he didn't seem thrilled." I sighed.
"Yeah I mean you know how the media treats girls in relationships. He's probably just worried because he's witnessed it first hand."
"I think I'm just going to do a social media cleanse for the next... however long this thing lasts."
"Probably a wise decision." She said before laying down a few pieces of jewelry on my vanity. "Alright girl, now go shower and shit."
