three weeks later,

"she literally just ran into my room and pulled my covers off...yeah i know!... she's going crazy over this breakup and i don't know what to do... it was 6 in the morning and she was wearing running clothes and a headband... yeah, i know... she needs to take it slow, last night she got 4 guys numbers at a Italian restaurant... its crazy!" Grayson and i were having a conversation about Harper and her break up, she was going a bit crazy and wanting to go out every night, it was getting out of hand.

after another half hour of phone calls, i ended the call and embarked on my usual Sunday doings. it was Harpers turn to clean the apartment but she was out with some guy called Kyle and i didn't want to stop her from going, she said that he was one of the guys from the restaurant but when he came to pick her up he looked nothing like the blonde guys that the got the numbers off of, for starters he had black hair... jet black hair and he was kind of scary looking, he had snake bite piercing and an eyebrow piercing, along his neck there was a snake whose tail crept up beside his ear. Harper seamed pretty shocked to see him and looked back at me as if to say 'he looks different', but then turned back around and headed off after accepting the flowers he got her and giving them to me to place in a vase... which i am yet to do.

once i had cleaned the apartment, i had to go grocery shopping which was hard since my roof was down in my Jeep and it was a pain to put back up alone, in the end i gave up and only did half of the pinning down of the fabric i was meant to.

i pulled the list out of my pocket and read off the details as i marched around in some sweatpants and looked like a hobo once again. i collected most of the items before i saw a familiar face, i walked over to them.

it was Nate.

"hey," he said as i walked further down the isle, "hey... Ava, how you been?" he asked me after not seeing him for a few weeks, "yeah I'm good..." i replied before i asked how he was in return, "I've been better if I'm honest..." he said as he looked down at the floor, "oh... whys that?" i asked. he them explained to me how he's having lots of trouble with the twins tour and how he's trying to get along with Grayson but something isn't working too well. this remark made me frown and i was reminded of what happened at Disney when he got annoyed at Nate,

"why has he been acting like this?" he asked me, "i honestly don't know Nate, I'm guessing its unlike him..." i said puzzled, "maybe he's still annoyed from Disney... which was three weeks ago," he said having a eureka moment, "yeah... i agreed.

the two of us caught up a bit more and then i continued with my shopping.

when i got home from shopping, it was around 5, i packed everything away in the cupboards and the fridge. i slumped onto the sofa after letting Peanut out of her crate. the two of us sat and watched old FRIENDS repeats until i decided to make myself dinner, i opted for a cheese and ham omelette since i couldn't be bothered to cook a full meal as i didn't know when harper would get back.

at around half 9, when i was laying on the sofa with a sleepy Peanut curled up beside me watching more TV, a drunken Harper came home with a different guy from before hand, they only got halfway through the lounge before they started uncontrollably making out. i panicked and grabbed my phone and keys after slipping my converse on (i was wearing a pair of pyjama bottoms and a jumper at this time). i left Peanut where she was and headed out of the door to escape Harper and her drunken friend.

i got in my car and i had no clue where to go to escape the awkwardness back at the apartment. i called James to see if he was in and it went straight to voice mail... typical. i then tried some of my other friends who lived in LA but apparently all of them were busy.

i arrived at the doorstep after being let up and knocked on the door,

"hey," Ethan said as he opened the door... "Gray is at the gym and he should be back soon," he then said as i made my way in, "make yourself comfy," he said as he indicated to the couch. i sat down and Ethan sat down at the other end of the sofa.

"remind me again of what happened?" Grayson said as he was in hysterics, "i was on the couch and then they came in making out, i panicked and left... so here i am!" i said whilst also laughing, the two of them burst out into laughing tears.

"i should probably call her to see how she is..." i said as i pulled my phone out and rung her up, once she picked up i put it onto speaker so we could all laugh at her drunken self,

"hey!" she slurred as she shouted through the phone, in unison we said hey back,

"whoa! where did you go! you left me...." she said sounding upset, "i just went over to Grayson's," i awnsered,

"ahhhh.... you and Grayson...." she then hiccuped, "your so perfect... really, i wish i was like that with that guy who i was just with, whats his name?" she asked me as if i knew, "Kyle?" i responded,

"NOOO!" she shouted and then there was a thud and lots of laughter, all three of us were in hysterics and i asked her if she was ok and what that thud was,

"oh! i just fell of my bed and broke a lamp..." that was followed by a lot of laughter as she said it so casually, "why are you laughing!" she then yelled which made us all laugh over again, she joined in this time without having a reason,

"ahh...what are we talking about?" she said through the phone very confusingly, "come home! i want pizza..." she said in a sulky tone,

"did you eat at the restaurant?" i asked her, "what restaurant?" she asked back, "the one you texted me about before you got home..." i indicated, "oh! we never made it to the restaurant, if you know what i mean," Grayson, Ethan and i were all laughing at harper being drunk.

after another half hour of Harper and her drunken self, i decided to go home,

"no...babes don't go," Grayson sulked, "stay... just for tonight... she'll be fine on her own," he said very persuasively, "Peanut is there and Harper has already broken a lamp in the past hour... i need to go and take care of them both and make sure that neither of them has peed on the carpet at any point," i asked as i grabbed my keys and kissed Grayson,

"ok... ill see you soon though. we need to go out again," he said as i headed out of the door and i heard Ethan shout bye from the other room, i headed down the elevator to my car and drove back to my apartment.

when i got back, i walked in and saw that Peanut was in her bed and Harper and her drunken self was sprawled across my bed, not hers... mine. so i did as any normal person would and went to sleep in her room.
