Two weeks later and Karina was still fully struggling with her feelings towards Ashton.

And also the ones towards Michael.

And Rena.

Also her hand hasn't stopped hurting. But anyway...

She hasn't spoken to Ashton or Rena about anything, not even Michael. They all pretend like nothing happened, going along with their lives.

Michael and Karina haven't kissed since the day she broke her knuckles.

Everyone suddenly became completely worried over her well being. They constantly asked if she was doing just fine, if she needed anything, if she wanted to go out. And the answer was always no. Karina thought she was just fine. Well, she thought.

It was Michael's birthday and all of his LA friends were throwing him a birthday party. Karina promised him she would attend, loving a good party, but she had a short amount of time to get to Los Angeles from Las Vegas and she was beginning to worry.

That was her best friend, she couldn't possibly miss his big 21st birthday.

"So no one wants to go to Michael's party?" Karina frustratedly asked, sitting down on her seat in the plane. The girls were all traveling to LA, having to be there for another award show that Sunday.

Dakota shrugged, rolling her head onto Karina's shoulder. "Not really, no. I'm not in the mood to party and their little LA friends are egotistical as shît."

Luciana and Jennifer were seated behind Karina and Dakota, nodding their heads in agreement to what Dakota just said. "I hate their friends." Lucy said, shrugging her shoulders. "I don't know how you stand them."

"You know who I hate?" Karina piped up, shifting in her seat. "Luke's girlfriend. She always has this sour look on her face and her attitude isn't a walk in the park either."

Jennifer huffed. "And this is coming from you, the woman with the biggest attitude on planet earth."

Karina nodded. "Exactly! It's like she's trying to compete with me, except she's ten times more petty."

"I thought that was his groupie?" Dakota asked, sitting up in her seat.

Karina rolled her eyes. "That's what we all thought."

"What's her name?" Jenny asked.

Karina scoffed. "Danielle?"

Their conversation ended in a fight. Not in a real fight, just an argument over whether Dakota could sass Danielle or not. Karina ended up winning, refusing to let Dakota be pathetic and embarrassing.

After about a two hour flight, they finally landed in LA and Karina had to rush to get ready.

The girls all ended up in one hotel room, watching their friend run around in a tight skirt and a crop top. It was eleven o'clock at night and she knew she was already running late, since the party had begun at nine and Michael was non-stop texting her.

"Where is my shoe!" Karina shouted from her room, opening her suitcase and finding her missing shoe. "Why were you in there?!" She shouted at the inanimate object, strapping it on and grabbing her bag.
