3 Months Later

Harley breathed in the salty smell of the ocean, as she sat by the shoreline, her board sitting on the sand next to her. The cold breeze running through her body.

The peace was interrupted by the sounds of Nick trudging back to shore, Lacey in toe, "This water is fucking freezing," he chattered.

Lacey grabbed her bottle of water from the sand, taking a long sip. "I told you to wear your wetsuit."

The man wrapped his towel around his shoulders, throwing the other one at Lacey, "It was still wet from yesterday."

The girl hummed, falling back into the sand next to her best friend. Lacey looked out into the water, a small sigh escaping her lips. "I don't wanna go back."

"You've been traveling with us for the last two weeks; you have school."

Lacey had flown out a week before Thanksgiving break and stayed all the way through until the holiday was over, skipping that whole week to be on tour with them.

"Yeah, I know, but what am I supposed to do when you guys are countries away."

Harley hummed, looking over to the girl, "well... you do have other friends, and you're coming to visit us during your Christmas break."

The conversation died out as the three's attention drifted to the sun rise in front of them. "It's so beautiful here."

Lacey nodded. "The weathers beautiful, the people are nice, and the waves are huge."

"Hey, I mean, you could move here... you know now that you're part leprechaun." Nick snickered.

The younger girl just rolled her eyes, throwing a small handful of sand at him. "Hey! I took that bet, and I think it looks good."

A few nights ago after one of Harley's shows, the three had gotten slightly blazed. One thing led to another, and they were on the hair dye aisle of a random corner store in Glasgow. Now Harley's once sun bleached brown hair was a cherry coke red.

Lacey smiled, "No, no, it does look good; we just think it's appropriate your in your new-found homeland now-"

"Alright, that's enough," Harley stood up, a small smile playing on her lips as she grabbed her towel from the sand. She glanced down at her phone, "shit it's almost eight; sound checks at eleven; we gotta go."

The two others hopped up from the sand, dusting themselves off. "Oh! Wait!" Lacey exclaimed, taking her phone out and snapping a quick picture of the three of them with the ocean behind them.

They had been surfing nonstop everyplace they toured; if there were waves, they were there. This led to a lot of pictures of the three online, a lot of fans trying to guess where Harley would be surfing when she was in their area.

"And that's a wrap for today!" Tim shouted, his voice echoing over the set. "We're early today, so enjoy the rest of your afternoon."

Jenna gave a small smile to the extras around; she had been shooting a solo scene, most of her co-stars finishing their scenes about an hour beforehand.

After she had gotten her costume and makeup off, she trudged to her trailer, taking a seat at the small sofa on the far side of the room. She opened her phone for one of the first times today, going onto Instagram, seeing Harley had posted on her story. She immediately clicked on the circle—a picture of Harley, Nick, and Lacey at the beach—a picture of them clearly after surfing.

This had become a recurring thing; Harley posted a picture on her story in the morning, and Jenna immediately viewing it when she was finished filming.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by a light knock on her door. "Come in!"

The white door swung open, Emma and Hunter stepping inside. "How was your last scene?" Emma asked as she slumped down onto the couch next to her.

The actress nodded, setting her phone down. "Good, I'm tired though."

Hunter hummed, leaning against the small countertop, "Then I guess this might be a bad time to ask if you wanted to go out."

"You guys are going out?"

"Well, us, Georgie, Joy, Moosa, we got a sweet, and some other people wanted to come."

Jenna pursed her lips. "A sweet?"

Hunter and Emma glanced at each other, Hunter awkwardly scratching his neck, "Well, you know there's Harley's concerts tonight."

The actress sighed, "I can't."

Emma gently put her hand on the girl's arm, "Listen, I know things between you and her are weird-"

"Yea, because of me."

"I know," the blonde reassured, "but everyone really wants to go, and we want you there."

Jenna picked at her black fingernails, "I don't know."

"It's not like she'll be able to spot you," she elbowed Jenna playfully. "We'll hide you... plus I know you love her music."

Jenna nodded; she knew it wasn't a great idea. There was a big chance she'd be spotted, and there was a smaller chance Harley would see her, but she'd wanted to go, and just seeing the singer was a large plus in the back of her mind.

"Okay... I'll go."
