April 20th 2014

I haven't heard from Nash in six days, six days

After he told me that I was his 'addiction' I was left speechless.

How is one even supposed to reply to that?

Maybe getting close to Nash so fast was a mistake...I've never had a boyfriend before, or even a boy that's more than a friend to me.

It scared me when he told me how he felt.

Of course I like him, but am I ready to fall for him?
Will he catch me if I do?
Will he hurt me?

Those are questions that will not be answered until the falling has happened.

I feel my phone vibrate as I'm sat in the home theatre watching Pretty Little Liars

"I'm back in LA, where are you?" The message from Amanda reads

"Finally! And sat in the theatre" I reply

"Home one or?"

"Yeah!"

"On my way"

I put down my phone, maybe Mandy will know what to do.

Twenty minutes later Amanda arrives at my house with Taco Bell, and people wonder why she's my best friend

My parents are hardly ever home, it's usually just me and Lucky.

My dad is an actor, he's is mostly known for playing Damon Salvatore in The Vampire Diaries.
My mom works in Fashion, Vogue.
One of the reasons Lucky is a model.

"I've missed you, never leave me again" I hug my best friend, squeezing her tightly

"I'll try not to, next time I'll bring you with me" she wiggles her eyebrows

"So what have you done these past two weeks?" She sits across from me, her legs crossed

For some reason that has not yet occurred to me, I start crying

Why have I been crying so much recently?
I must be getting my period or something.

"Hey, calm down. What happened?" She pulls me into a hug

"It was all going fine.
Nash and I were just hanging out, getting to know each other, he even met my parents" I look down

"So what went wrong?" She furrows her eyebrows

"He told me that he liked me a lot, and that i was his addiction"

"And?" She looks confused

"And I stood there staring at him like he was a ghost, then he walked me home and I haven't spoken to him since"

"Why not?"

"I don't know"

That's a good question, why haven't I spoken to him?

Sure, it freaked me out a little

But why should I punish him for telling me how he feels?

"Ali, I've known you since we were two years old. You're just scared to let him in, knowing he could leave at any minute"

"But the thing is, we let all kinds of people into our lives,
Some good, some bad.
We let these people in, despite the fact that things could go terribly wrong and you could end up never speaking to them again.
We do this because we are human, and to make mistakes and learn from them.
But this might not be a mistake Ali, let him in...I've seen the way you two look at each other"

She's right, damn she's always right

"How did I get so lucky to have you as my best friend?" I question

"Because you're the most kind hearted girl I know, but believe me when I say that I'm the lucky one" she gives me an open smile

"Now, call Nash" she demands

Who knows if he will even answer, he might not want to talk to me

I dial his number

"Alice?" I hear his familiar accent

"Hi" I speak softly into my phone

"Are you okay?" He sounds concerned

"Yeah I'm fine, can I see you?" I ask, hoping he'll say yes

"Of course, when?"

I look over at Amanda and she gives me a thumbs up

"Tonight, maybe?"

"Okay, cool" he speaks, shyly

"I'll text you"

"Bye, Alice"

He hangs up.

"So?" Amanda smirks

"We're meeting later" I blush

"Well come on then, let's get you ready" she pulls me to my bedroom

I hear the doorbell ring

"That's Maddi" Amanda runs to the door

"I figured you'll need us to help you get ready" Maddi walks into my house

"I love you guys" I laugh

"Where's Lucky?" Maddi asks

"He's in his room, why?" I raise my eyebrows, smirking

"Just wondering" she looks down

"Shower!" Amanda shouts at me, causing me to jump

"Okay, chill!" I run up the stairs into my room, Mandy and Maddi following me

-

They picked out my outfit, choosing a white lace crop top, an Aztec skater skirt which had the colors pink, blue, purple and black in, matching them with white sandals and my denim jacket

I let them do my makeup too, giving me a natural look

I left my hair the way it was, as it is naturally wavy

By now it is 7pm, Nash agreed to meet me here at 7:30

"Are you nervous?" Maddi smiles

"A little" I sit down on my bed

"Hey Ali have you seen my ramones t-shirt?" Lucky asks, walking into my room

"Oh hey Amanda, Maddi" Lucky directs his attention to Maddi

"Yeah I washed it after I wore it, it should be in my wardrobe" I pointed to my walk in wardrobe

"Thanks Al" he walks in to get it

"Where are you going?" He asks

"Out with Nash" I bite my lip

"Oh, so you two are good now?" He frowns

"We will be" I give him a half smile

"Just saying that if he hurts you I might have to kill him" he puts his hands up in defence, causing me to laugh

"I'm serious" he laughs

"Whatever" I look down and smile

"So what are you two doing?" He asks Amanda and Maddi

"We were thinking about going to Matts, everyone's there.
Want to come?" Maddi asks Lucky

"Sure!" He exclaims

Me and Amanda look at each other and smirk knowing that Lucky and Maddi are into each other

I hear the doorbell for the third time today

Nash is here.
