-Leah Rose-
I woke up early that morning. I checked my alarm clock, 6:45. I groaned and laid back down. After 10 minutes I knew I wasn't going back to sleep. I got out of bed and got in the shower. I decided to let my hair go natural. I changed into a black tank top, grey hoodie, and black leggings. I slipped on grey vans. I checked the clock, 7:15. I sat in front of my vanity. I started to do my make up when Taylor walked in.

I didn't say anything to her. I honestly don't know why I reacted that way. I just feel like Taylor plays my mother more than my best friend.

"Your mom called and said Thursday we can all come," Taylor tells me in a tired voice. I nod. She signs. "Why are you still mad! I'm sorry. Let's go find him and invite him to Starbucks. " Taylor saids frustrated. "No Taylor. It's just, you play my mother more than my best friend. " I say speaking my thoughts. "It's inly because I don't want you to get hurt. Last time you lost your boyfriend you were a wreck. I didn't want you to loose Jack. " she said frowning. "I'm not dumb! I wasn't going to date Austin. I was just gonna be friends. Ya know since our guys friends left, I decided to make new ones!" I shout.

"Don't start shouting. It's to early and I'm it in the mood," Taylor tells me. I roll my eyes. I finish my mascara and begin my eye shadow. "Well, " Taylor speaks. "What Taylor? You don't trust me, that's fine. " I say starting the other eye. She waits to speak until I'm finished completely. "No, I do trust you. I just think you need help. I never said you were gonna date on the first look, but eventually it would have happened," Taylor tells me. I stare at her. "You know what Taylor, just go get ready. I'm done fighting. " I say getting my book bag.

I push past her and went downstairs. I grabbed a protein bar on the way out. "Leah we need to talk!" Taylor calls out as I shut the door. As I'm walking to the college a car pulls us to me. I glance at the car and walk faster. The guy rolls the window down and reveals a very attractive guy. "Leah? Right?" He asked in an Australian accent. "Austin?" I asked smiling. "Hope in, I'll give you a ride," he tells me. He stops the car and i climb in. "So um, if I came off flirty the other day I'm sorry. I didn't know your boyfriend stopped you," he apologized.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh no. My friend is just rude sometimes. Jack wouldn't mind," I say but don't believe the last sentence. Austin smiles. "That's good to hear. I would like to be friends," he saids pulling in to SFA. "You go here?" I ask him. "Yeah, you do too?" He asks smiling. "Yeah," I say smiling back. "And yeah, we can be friends. " I tell him climbing out. He locks the car. "Cool. Can I walk you to class or is that against the law?" He asks smiling. I smile back. "Who said you can't break laws?" I asked back looping my arm with his.

Once again, I'm study. For history this time. Taylor walked into the room. "Why are you with him?" She asked me. "Who Jack? I love him," I reply to her. "Austin. " she saids. "Oh we're friends now. You should get to know him" I say standing up. "Leah, I'm not telling you what to do, but please listen," she starts. I look at her. "Be smart. Please, realize why you put him in the friend zone," she saids to me.

I finally allow a smile to break. "I will," I say smiling. Taylor smiles. "Okay well, I have to go. I'll see you at lunch," Taylor saids walking off. I wave goodbye and go to history.

-Jack Johnson-
"Yo! Sammy!" I call through the hotel. Sammy comes running down the hallway. "Yes captain!" He shouts. I pull him in the room and shush him. "It's 3:30 a.m. people are asleep!" I ell him. He laughs. "Okay well, I need a present for Leah when I get home. Something perfect," I tell him. He stops laughing and begins to think. "Try a necklace. Like diamond. But something meaningful to her. " he tells me. I nod. "Okay thanks," I say to him. He nods and runs back out to Matthew.

I go on the Kay website. I find the perfect necklace. ( picture above ^^ ). She'll love this. I click buy and check the date it comes in. Two Months! I roll my eyes and accept.

Leah🔥- I'm going to me in with Kenz

Jack Johnson- why?

Leah🔥- Taylor's being a bitch. Like I'm trying to make a new friend and she's telling me I can't. So I'm gonna move in with Kendall who thinks it's fine.

Jack Johnson- why can't you have a friend?

Leah🔥- because it's a guy. She thinks I'm gonna cheat. Why would I?

Jack Johnson- a guy?

Leah🔥- his names Austin and he's really nice.

Jack Johnson- why do you need a guy friend?

Leah🔥- bc all mine are gone.

Jack Johnson- okay...

Leah🔥- jaaack

Jack Johnson- what😂

Leah 🔥- don't be like that. You know I won't do anything.

Jack Johnson- I know.

Leah 🔥- 🙄 okay well I better go pack.

Jack Johnson- are you sure you wanna move out. You and Taylor have been friends since kindergarten.

Leah🔥- yes babe, I'm sure.

Jack Johnson- 🙄 okay. Bye I love you❤️

Leah🔥- I love you too

I signed and put my phone down. I went back to my laptop for the necklace. After I finished with that I out everything up so I could get some sleep.

-Leah Rose-
I packed everything I owned and texted Kendall.

Leah- can I live with you?

Kendall🐶- what! Why!😂

Leah- Taylor's a bitch. I wanna live with someone who trust me.

Kendall🐶- okay when do you wanna move in

Leah- tonight.

Kendall🐶- tonight!

Leah- yes. I'm packed.

Kendall🐶- Jesus, Leah. Okay I'll be there in 5

I sat in my room and waited. While I waited I decided to tell my mom Taylor wasn't coming Thursday. I hear the door bell and went downstairs. Kendall appeared frowning. "Come on, " she saids coming in. Kendall and I came upstairs to my room and got all my stuff.

Once most of my stuff was in her car we drove off. "I'll call a moving truck tomorrow morning to get your furniture. " Kendall tells me. I yawn and nod. "Thanks Kenz for letting me live with you," I say smiling. She smiled back and shook her head. "No problem. I had no other plans at 4:30 in the morning," Kendall said chuckling. I laughed lightly and leaned my head against the window.

Too much has changed around here...
