"Trust me."
"I already do."
Shiloh "Lo" Peterson hates her life in Astoria, Oregon. Maybe she spent too much time rewatching American Horror Story, or eating Snickers bars in the gas station her brother worked at. The only thing keeping her afloa...

The familiar beeping of Uncle Andy's car outside. I just nod at Sage and we get our things before heading outside, this time unaccompanied by Derek who had some "errands" to run. Sage is wiping away the stray tears on her face and we get into the back seat.
"You alright, kiddo?" Andy says, looking back at Sage with a worried expression on his face.
"Yeah. I will be." She sniffles, bringing her knees into her chest and buring her face in between them. I look and see Uncle Andy with a questioning look, probably waiting for an explanation .
"Scholarship problems." I mouth silently to him and he nods, starting the car and driving away from the house. I look over at Sage worriedly, knowing it would take a while to get her out of this bad mood.
Usually I would just watch American Horror Story with her and maybe a few horror films and we would eat a bunch of crap but I don't know if that would be possible with the filming and all. Maybe we would be able to do it on set while they film or something; we were already in our sweatpants and sweatshirts.
We didn't have anytime to actually get ready this morning due to Sage's call to her moms. She still needed to tell her mom about the internship she got with Uncle Andy. Her mom said she would think about it because they already had plans for this summer. Sage has a really hard time with the whole NYU thing because her parents don't have enough money for tuition which gives her a lot of pressure to get a scholarship.
I'm constantly telling her that she's extremely talented and will probably get a scholarship but she doesn't seem to listen to my words. I just pray that her moms let her stay because I don't know if Sage would be able to live knowing that she missed out on an opportunity like this.

"We're here!" I announce to Sage who is still balled up in her seat. We're back on set and I can see the gang through the window, wearing the same costumes as yesterday. Sage and I get out of the car and I walk slightly ahead of her trying to get there first and at least let them know that Sage isn't currently in the best state.
I reach them and give them each big hugs, ruffling Wyatt's hair, and blushing when I get to Finn.
"Hey there Trash-mouth." I greet him smiling as I grab his glasses and put them on my face. He looks down at me and laughs as I do stereotypical model poses. I look over at Sage who is almost reaching us and she gives a fake smile, making me frown.
Sage ends up turning away from us and walking to the trailers and I simply follow her with my eyes , not knowing entirely what to do.
"Is she okay?" Jack asks me after Sage sets her stuff down and sits in a chair, staring into blank space.
"She told her mom about the internship and she might not be able to stay." She sigh sadly as I stare at my best friend.
