"Shit, Tate's going to my apartment right now. What do i tell her." I said to gracie from her couch. I was anxiously biting the inside of my cheek until the subtle taste of iron managed to fill my mouth. However, my girlfriend had got up to make us tea in hopes to calm me down after noticing the change in my demeanour, God, that feels so good to say- the girlfriend part I don't happen to like being anxious. 

"Wait, why can't you just tell her you're with gracie? I mean, you two are dating, right?" Audrey, but in from behind the me.

"Well, yeah, we're dating, but that was supposed to be like a secret between us"  gracie added wiping her hands on a towel only to sling it over her shoulder as if she were a bartender. Which was really hot, not gonna lie.

"So you two weren't planning on telling me!" replied Audrey. The overdramatic girl put a hand over her chest as if she were actually offended.

"I mean, we were gonna tell you eventually." Gracie chuckled, giving me and Audrey our cups of tea and sitting beside me to take a drink out of her own.

I sat on the couch of my apartment, huffing and puffing after racing up my apartments emergency fire exit to beat tate, who I saw go in the elevator. I barely got a minute of rest before she knocked on my thick Blackwood apartment door. "Coming!" I said breathlessly.

I opened the door to see Tate's questioning face. "What's got got huffing and puffing, someone upstairs I need to meet? Or did u have to run back from theirs?" Tate said, raising her eyebrow before inviting herself in and sitting on my couch.

"Tate, I didn't sleep with anyone last night." I said, annoyed. Even though I did.. 

"Whatever you say honey,  just tell me when you're ready." She had the biggest smile I'd ever seen across her face. 

"Whatever, I have to get ready to meet with my lawyers, and you know, star,"

"Wait, who was star? I forgot?"

"Conan, you dumbass!"

Walking through downtown la, there was always paranoia. A deeply set feeling you're being watched. Today, though, Olivia tried to ignore it. She was set to meet with her lawyers about the "you know who" case. As she walked through the door of her lawers office, hearing the chime of a bell above the door as she sipped the latte, she had picked up on her way over.

Olivia saw her lawyer in his office chair. His nameplate reading "Mr Jeremy P. Martin" sitting beside me was an all too familiar boy with curly black hair. Conan.
"You must be Miss rodrigo," Mr Martin said, standing to shake my hand with an overconfident smile.

"You can call me Olivia." I replied, plastering on a fake smile as I shook his hand. Something about him seemed off. I just couldn't tell what it was.

-

I practically raced out of that lawers office to avoid conan. Did not feel like dealing with him today. Somehow, he still beat me out. " Olivia, you can't keep avoiding me, I know what I did was shitty but we still need each other."

"Really cause maybe you just need me?!" I screamed, still walking away from the man I used to know.

He finally caught up to me, putting his hand on my shoulder. "You are not Tate's number 1, and we both know it. Besides, it's not like I had a choice to be with him..."

"Conan, you keep saying that, but that do you mean!"

"I mean, I was running out of money before my album release, and I couldn't pay my rent!" He yelled, then looked down in shame. "Liv, I was going to be evicted, but he paid my rent for a few months in exchange for me being his boyfriend. He made me think we were in love and we were going to get married or something. " Conan kept looking down. He didn't want to make eye contact after when he just said. Silence sat between us like a peirce of the heart.  " Then he broke up with me. Said I wasn't good enough or pretty enough. But even then, I knew it was because I wasn't you. "

I stood speechless. A thousand possibilities rang through my head. Could our friendship have been saved through a phone call? Does conan forgive me? Do I forgive conan? Does Cameron still love me? And then it hit me.

Cameron's obsessed. Addicted even.
This man would go to the ends of the earth to be with me.
And that's what scares me.

I stared blankly at conan, my eyes shot with realisation. I started to tear up and took the boy into my arms. "Cone, I'm sorry for how I treated you. you were such a bitch but nobody deserves that, trust me I know." I sobbed soaking his shirt.

"Shhh, it's ok, liv. I get it," said conan, his voice broke too, so you know it hurt to say. We stayed like that for a while. Passers shot us dirty looks, but we didn't really care. Besides, this was kinda tame for the shit that goes down in this city.

On the way home, I unblocked conans number. I could never hate my best friend for too long. Now we just have more in common.

A/n: So how y'all doing. Get yourselves ready for the next chapter cause it'll probably hurt 😊😊
Sorry for disappearing again. I tend to do that. Anyway, I love u all, and u better vote and comment, or I'm sending rats to bite your toes in the middle of the night💗💗
