Welcome to L.A.

First entrance

--Maddy's POV--
I... I can't believe what I'm seeing right now. I can't ignore the chemistry between Ash and... Amélie. Mili's always saying that she's ordinary and easy to forget. Well, dear, I hope that you've realized how damn wrong you've been all this time. You were, we were outsiders. And now, now, you're slowly fitting in your greatest nightmare. Eyes are on you. You aren't unnoticeable, can you see it? You're publicly seen with a famous YouTuber and invited on the MTV's blue carpet. When will you stop saying to people that you're not worth attention? Everyone loves you. Everyone trusts you so easily and sees your greatness in your comforting eyes, your contagious smile, your hugs and way to defend others before yourself as well as your endless listening capacity. You get friends so easily. Foreigners, fellow writers, YouTubers... I'm not mad at you right now, but... why are you hugging and hanging out with him that way? What about Daniel? What about me? Why did you accept? I... Wait, I'm sorry. I'm just being... selfish...

DnA family's rule number one: Don't ever touch the editing computer when a video is uploading live. I don't know why you just hugged him, but... is it really about V...Sombrero? Why?

I can't believe that, all this time, I thought that she just hated him for that. Not because of her. Because she was protecting me. And she kept it for herself for my feelings' sake. I don't think it's properly said, but I don't care. Oh, Mili... you were scared to face another argument like in ninth grade. And, God, how guilty I feel about hurting you that much. I've never seen it and I'm sorry. All these hours that you've been listening to my endless love story... Ash and you were... not doing what I thought after all. I should've stayed with my undoubtable trust in you. 'Cause you're right. And you're... helping him. Helping him with his sorrow, his defeat. He's defeated because, again, I fell for this... guy. And I thought that all you wanted was to make him run away from me. I feel terrible. I feel awful, but now I know what's in her head. She poured her pain out knowing that it could ruin everything we've built if she said it wrong. Words hit hard. Who knows better than I do. I admire her devotion in this. She said it even if she knew I, well, she hoped that I'll watch, which I did because he was playing me... again.

--Back to Amy's POV--
"I won't publish what you said. Only the song if it's okay with you." Says Ash after another hug. My favorite thing on Earth...

"I appreciate that you prefer to keep Maddy and I's privacy, Ash, but, at this point, I think that the choice belongs to her. It's her part of the story." He smiles to himself again and starts staring at me. "What? What did I say?" I don't understand.

"You really respect her don't you?" Nodding at him, I smile lightly. "I stopped believing in people like you ages ago. He... Well, Dan's lucky to have had you last weekend. He wouldn't have gone to a cemetery if it weren't for you. You really help us. I hope that you noticed how much you're worth to us." Me? Bah I don't think so, don't exaggerate... "Stop thinking that way. I read your mind. You need to stop treating yourself that way. You're having a poisoned behavior. I guess that I understand now why Maddy says that about you..."

"Maude has always been my rock. She says so much about me, but she's not my little sister for no reason. As a young boy sees his older brother as a hero, she sees in me things that I don't. She doesn't only believes in my dreams, but in me too. She always makes me remember that life's not worth living it if you don't lose your mind and get loose sometimes. I tend to forget that when I'm studying too much..."

"Speaking of studying, did you have any news from Cambridge or Chicago?" Big, heavy, almost awkward silence. He really noticed. "Amy?" He stops me with his left arm. "I saw you suddenly leaving the room earlier after reading something on your phone. Do you want to talk about it?" I'm crying again. Why am I always that emotional when it comes to my dreams?! Ugh!
