Zahria gave me a look. "Rena, you don't owe him anything."
I shrugged. "I guess. But... it's complicated. It's work too, and... it just feels like I should go."
"Well, promise me you'll be careful, okay?"
I nodded. "I will. Plus, I've got Liam with me. That should help."
Zahria grinned. "Yeah, bet he won't let anyone lay a hand on you. Especially not Callum."
"He's actually dealing with this crazy girl that's obsessed with him," I sighed, grabbing a sleek black dress from the rack.
Zahria smirked, her eyebrow quirking up. "Sounds like you."
I shot her a look through the phone. "Please, like I'd ever act like that."
She laughed. "You? No, but I mean, the whole 'can't get enough of him' part, maybe?"
I rolled my eyes, tossing the dress onto the bed. "Trust me, I'm not that girl."
Zahria grinned. "Sure, Rena. Sure."
I sighed, flopping back onto my bed. "Well it's kinda complicated,"
"I get it there's no need to explain yourself Serena."
"Yeah I know it's just-" Something in my head just clicked. Liam was fucking disgusting.
"Rena?" Zahria asked, leaning closer to the screen.
"Actually you know what? He's actually fucking nasty. The girl that's obsessed with him, he treats her like an object. Uses her for sex then tosses her aside like they're nothing."
"No f*cking way?" Zahria gasped. "No way."
"Yes way, that's so disgusting, and he didn't even seem ashamed when he was telling me."
"That's so weird." Zahria sighed. "And I always thought you two would be cute together."
"Yeah well thankfully we won't be. I don't want trouble or drama." I sighed, sinking deeper into my bed.
Juno padded over and curled up beside me, resting her head on my thigh. Her warmth was a comforting distraction.
"Speaking of trouble, when are you going on tour?" Zahria asked, her voice brightening a bit.
"My flight to LA is next week, that's where the tour is starting." I replied, scratching the behind Juno's ears.
"LA? That's amazing! Are you nervous?"
"Kind of. But I'm mostly just ready to get it over with. The pressure is building, you know?"
"I can only imagine. Just remember, you're going to be incredible out there."
"Thanks Zahria." I smiled. "But I have to go now, pick out an outfit for the gig tomorrow"
"Okay babes, call me tomorrow when you get back so I know your home safe."
"I will thank you!" I hung up the phone, even though me and Zahria have had our fair share of disagreements, she's always been my best friend, and always will be.
