@lauramarano: New makeup tutorial video is up! See if we can get it to 300k likes? Sorry that it's a few days late, explanation in the video. youtube.com/lauramarano

I do feel bad whenever I upload a video late. Every Saturday and Wednesday, I try and update, but my damn footage for my voice over got deleted the other day so I had to redo that and everything including the background music. Now that it's Monday, I ended up putting my fashion show announcement at the end.

To Jess Best Friend💜:
So... I feel like I should tell you this now... I think I like someone. Someone who you might of heard of. It's complicated though so I might need some advice on how to handle it all.

Yeah, I've decided I feel something towards him. Something I haven't felt since I was like... sixteen. And honestly, I haven't even kissed a guy. And I'm turning twenty this month. Luckily, Jess responded right away.

From Jess Best Friend💜:
WHO!? Oh my goodness, I cannot believe this is actually happening! Is it Michael Western, the guy from the grocery store?

Wrinkling my nose, I almost gag. Michael is nasty. Like, majorly nasty.

To Jess Best Friend💜:
Ew, no. Not Michael. Let's just say I'm meeting him in New York next Friday for the first time face to face. We've been texting back and forth for a little over three weeks now. I don't think you understand how weird this all is explaining it to you now.

From Jess Best Friend💜:
I'm so confused. Who the hell is it? And why in New York? That'd be hard to date a guy from New York. Long distance never lasts, Laura.

Well, there goes the advice I need.

To Jess Best Friend💜:
He lives in California, he's just on a tour right now. And I'm seeing him in New York because he has a show in New York the day after the fashion show.

From Jess Best Friend💜:
If you don't fucking tell me who this guy is, then maybe I can help you with this shit, Laur.

Should I explain its Ross Lynch? Jess had all their albums and has even seen them in concert four times with her little cousin. Whelp, no turning back now...

To Jess Best Friend💜:
Ross Lynch. You've heard of him, right?

From Jess Best Friend💜:
OH MY GOD! ROSS EFFING LYNCH! DO YOU KNOW HOW HOT HIS FAMILY GENES ARE?!

And the secrets out.

To Jess Best Friend💜:
Okay, nows not the time. And from what you said, long distance doesn't work out. So you answered my advice question.

From Jess Best Friend💜:
NO! Laura, if you really like him, then yes, long distance will work. He's only on tour for so long out of the year when he does tours and they take year breaks between too. Plus, haven't you ever heard of Jeff and Jordan? They did long distance for like four years. Now they're engaged. So if you two really really like each other, distance will mean nothing.

Now that's the Jessica Crawford I know and love.

To Jess Best Friend💜:
Thanks, that's actually what I needed to hear right now. I'll fill you in later. He legit just texted me and it's the middle of the day so this is rare. Bye Jess.

Quickly, I click on his message.

From Ross Lynch🎤:
Hey, for when you come here, when do you leave to come home? Because right after the concert, we head for a hotel in Albany for a night which is like two and half hours away. If you stay in NYC, then we probably won't be able to see each other.

I never thought of that. Dang it, I hope they're close, then we could spend a whole entire day together instead of the two seconds I'm gonna see of him alone.

To Ross Lynch🎤:
Um... One in NYC. Manhattan and NYC are like a half hour away. I probably won't even make it to the concert until like six or seven. And you go on at eight. So I probably won't even see you...

From Ross Lynch🎤:
Well, this sucks.

To Ross Lynch🎤:
Yeah, we should've thought this over before making these plans... Is there anyway you could stay in NYC an extra day and catch a cab or something to Albany?

From Ross Lynch🎤:
Depends if I have press shit. I don't know, but I still want you to come to my concert.

To Ross Lynch🎤:
Trust me, I was going either way 😂 I can't wait to see your concert.

From Ross Lynch🎤:
Yeah yeah. I gotta go. Meet n greet time. Talk to you tonight?

To Ross Lynch🎤:
Yeah, tonight. Bye, Ross.

I didn't get a reply back, but I did smile wide. Honestly, I'm fine with seeing the band live. I mean, I'd get to see him, just not alone, and he'd know I'm there. It's better than nothing, right? Uggh, I hate my life so much right now. How are you suppose to know you like a guy when you can't even have the time to meet him properly?

Sighing in defeat, I put my music on shuffle and begin the shower, ready to just take a few moments and relax.

"Ry, get over here." I mumble, kicking his shin. He furrows his eyebrows before getting up off his seat and following me towards the back of the venue. "I need... advice."

"If it's about Laura, I've told you all I got." He says, crossing his arms. "You like her, it's obvious-"

"Just, hold on, let me talk real quick." I interrupt. Ryland raises his hands in defense and let me continue. "She's walking a fashion show next Thursday in New York. We're in Manhattan the fifteenth, which is the next day, and I invited her to the concert. I have to talk to Andre still, but so far, she's coming. The only bad part, the day after that, we're driving to Albany but I really want to hang out with her." I say quietly. "Do you think Andre, mom and dad will let me get an uber to drive me two and a half hours to Albany?" I ask.

"Explain the situation to them. That, or see if Laura can drive to Albany with us and then let her stay with us until she has to head back home. Andre probably won't want you doing the uber thing. But if she can't, then ask." I pat Ryland's shoulder.

"You are the best little brother a guy could ever ask for." I mutter, pulling him into a hug. A very manly hug may I add.
