My plane had just landed, and I was gathering my things. I finally stepped off the plane into the LA airport, and I could already feel the excitement bubbling inside of me. I'm excited to be in a new place, and I'm especially excited to be moving in with my best friend, Tara.
Tara and I had been talking about moving in together for months now, but it was always in a joking way and we'd never put much real thought into it.
Until a couple months ago, when Tara seriously brought it up. She had brought it up randomly, and at first I thought she was joking, until she started talking about it more. And today was the day I was finally moving in with her.
I go to text her to let her know I'm here, but as I open my phone I hear her voice. I look up to see her, a huge smile on her face. She screams excitedly as she runs to me, and I drop my bags to give her a hug.
We both laugh, hugging each other tightly. "Oh my God. I haven't seen you in forever!" She takes both of my hands in hers, and I laugh softly "It has been a long time, hasn't it?" I pick my bags back up, and I follow Tara out to her car.
"I'm so excited to have you move in, oh my God." I laugh, realizing how much Tara says 'Oh my God'. "Wait! We should totally go shopping some time. We can get you stuff for your room!" I'm starting to get the feeling Tara is more excited about all of this than I am, and it honestly warms my heart.
As soon as we get to Tara's place, I'm so exhausted I almost pass out on the couch. I groan audibly, laying my arm over my eyes. Tara pokes my side "Cmon, we gotta get your bags in the room! And then you can pass out." I stand up, and walk with Tara to my new room.
She helps me unpack the important stuff, and helps me put my clothes away. I make my bed, and sit down feeling accomplished. Tara plops down on the beanbag we put in the corner, groaning loudly.
I can't help but laugh, as I lay down. "Girl. I'm beat." Tara laughs, and I nod in agreement. I pull my phone out, checking the time. "Oh my God, girl! I should totally post about this!" I sit up excitedly, and motion for Tara to sit next to me.
Tara hops up from the beanbag, and sits beside me. We both pose, and I snap a picture. Tara wraps her arms around me giggling "I'm so excited to have you here!" I take a couple more pictures of Tara and I, and post them on Instagram. I place my phone beside me, and lay back down. Tara pats my leg as she stands up "I'm gonna let you settle in. And come get me if you need anything, ok?" I nod to her as she leaves.
I look around the room and smile to myself, sighing contently. I had been wanting a change of scenery, and Tara gave me the perfect opportunity for that. I just can't believe I'm in LA, with my best friend. It feels like a dream come true. As cliche as that is, it's the truth. My phone buzzes, and I check it to see a message from an old friend. Johnnie Guilbert.
Johnnie and I had been best friends back during his MDE years, but we hadn't spoken in at least a year or so. I was surprised to be getting a text from him.
Johnnie: Heyy it's been awhile
Johnnie: Sorry, this is super out of the blue. I just saw you moved to LA, and I wanted to say congrats!Me: Yeah, just landed earlier today!
Johnnie: Fr? That's so awesome!
Me: I needed a change of scenery, yknow? And I figure why not LA
Johnnie: And you moved in with Tara??How's that?
Me: Yeah! We joked about it for the longest time, and now here we are lol
Johnnie: Well I mean, since you're here
Johnnie: Would you wanna hang out tomorrow? I already invited Tara, I just figure it'd be nice to say hiMe: Omg for sure!! That'd be so much fun
Johnnie: Bet, I'll see you then :))
I place my phone on my bedside table, and stand up to stretch. I decide I should probably get into something more comfortable, and walk to my dresser. I grab out a few things, and toss them on my bed. I take my hair out and slip my shirt off. I take a second to look around the room again, fully taking in the fact that I've just moved to one of the biggest cities in the US with my best friend and I'm about to meet up with an old close friend I haven't seen in years.
I slip on my favorite pair of short pink shorts, and an old baggy t-shirt. I grab out my makeup wipes, and try my best to clean everything off.
I walk out of my room, practically walking right into Tara. "Hey! I was just coming to ask you, do you wanna watch a movie with me?" My face lights up "Oh my God, yes!" Tara drags me with her to the living room, and I laugh softly. We sit down on the couch together, side by side. Tara leans on me, as we look through Netflix for something to watch. "I still can't believe you're actually here, it feels so unreal." I smile, leaning my head on hers.
"I should totally introduce you to some of my friends! It'll be so much fun." I nod "Oh hell yeah! That'll be awesome." We finally decide on a movie. "Johnnie invited me to hang out tomorrow, so that'll be nice." Tara looks up at me "I don't think I've ever asked you by the way, how long have you known Johnnie?"
I shrug "I've known him since his MDE years, I think we met at his first tour?" Tara sits up, turning her body to face me "Seriously? That's a long time!" I laugh softly and shrug "I guess so." She leans against me again, giggling softly. I lean my head against hers, smiling to myself. "We're gonna have so much fun." Tara squeezes my arm gently, and I laugh softly.
"I'm totally dragging you to every party by the way." Tara and I both laugh "As long as you don't mind me complaining the whole time." I joke, and Tara pats my leg "I think you'll be fine." We both laugh again. "It's gonna be so much fun having you around."
