"Jake?" I let out, almost inaudible.

"N-Nayha?" He said.

Jake, it was really Jake. What had he become? He was some crazy YouTuber, I couldn't take it anymore, I had to go. Before Jake could say anything I ran, I ran out of the door and got into my car and drove straight to my house. I could hear him screaming my name, he was running towards me, it felt all too familiar, it was the same as the night I left him for Australia, but tonight I'm leaving him again. Once I couldn't see him in my mirror I let out all my tears, I could have rekindled with him, but no I left him and now I'm all alone without my best friend. As I drove I saw many lights, I never really noticed but LA is pretty beautiful at night, the lights look wonderful along with the beaches and the full moon beautifully glistens across the midnight blue ocean. I put down my window to listen to the crashing of the waves, instantly I was overwhelmed by the smell of the salty ocean, it was calming just what I needed.

As I peered out into my mirror, I noticed another Tesla behind me but I couldn't see anyone in it, after a few more minutes of driving I realised the car was still behind me, odd I thought, was this person following me? I drove into a dark park and again the car followed me, I got out of the car and so did he.

"Show yourself," I say, putting my fists up. "I've taken one self-defence class, I can beat your ass."

"I know you've taken a defence class, I was the one who forced you into it." The mystery man said. "And I know you can throw a punch, you gave me a black eye and a broken wrist."

"Jake?" I said shocked. So shocked that I jumped back. "Why would you do that?! I hate you! I thought I was going to die tonight!" I said.

"Well lucky you at least it was me and not some psychotic killer."

"True, but you should've told me at least."

"Yes tell the girl who just ran away from me that I'm following her so that I can get an explanation from her."

I roll my eyes. "What explanation?"

"Well firstly what are you doing here in LA and secondly what were you doing at my place?"

"Well it's not every day you see fire coming from someone's house, so I decided to go help and I'm here to study."

"We do this shit everyday bro."

"Ev-er-ry-day Bro?"

"Yea haven't you heard my new smashin hit?"

"You mean a song?"

"Yea it's hella rad, haven't you heard it? It's super popular."

I burst out laughing "You? You wrote a song? And it's popular?" I say laughing almost on the verge of crying. "You were literally the boy who went through 7 emo phases, and was known as butterfly boy, made a song?"

"Wow Nayha what a surprise, bringing up butterfly boy."

"I mean you did spend more time with butterflies than any actual human when you were nine."

"Come on why don't I show you my song, I guarantee that you will be blown away."

"Oh really you think so? Why don't you come over to my place and show me and maybe watch a movie or two?"

"Wow inviting me over before a first date. A risk-taker I see."

I roll my eyes "Come on butterfly boy, don't want you to get lost in the butterfly gardens again." Jake rolls his eyes and I laugh.
