Ups & Downs

Eight

⚠️ This chapter has the topic of self harm⚠️

[Liza's POV]
I stare at the bathroom sink, there's a million thoughts running through my head.  I look at the mirror, I walk closer and stare at my body..

Im overweight no wonder David would never like me. I look disgusting.

I change into my pj's and fall asleep.
~
I look at my bright phone screen, its 8am. I get out of bed and shower, I change into a simple outfit and sit on the couch.
"Hey" I look up and see Gabbie making breakfast.
"Morning"
"Have you had breakfast?"
"Yeah" Lie. 
"Are you seeing David today?" She smirks.
"I don't know.."
"Well you should. He likes you Liza"
"He doesn't like me the way I like him though" I sigh and shut off my phone.
"Im going for a walk. See you later" I slam the door behind me and walk onto Vine street, I walk past Starbucks and stop.

I can't believe what Im seeing.

Jack.

He hasn't changed. He still has the same hair, glasses and clothing style. He glances at me.

"Liza?" He walks closer to me.
"Jack.."
"Your..not dead" he says quietly.
"Yeah.." I just wanted to hide at this point.
"How are you?"
"Okay I guess" I smile a bit.
"Do you want to get a coffee or something?"
"Sure?" We walk into Starbucks and I order a water. I don't want to gain weight.
"You don't drink coffee?" We sit down.
"Don't like it that much" I shrug.
"Are you living in Los Angeles now?"
"Kinda. Im staying with a friend" I say and he nods.
"You wouldn't believe who I saw" He says.
"Who?"
"Alena and her idiots" he rolls his eyes.
"Oh. Ive seen them to. It didn't go so well" this is so awkward.
"What happened?" David.
"They hadn't changed either" I sip my water. He won't stop staring.
"Liza, I have to go. Can I see you again?"
"I guess?" I give him my number and he thanks me. He smiles and leaves. I look out the window and see Davids car parked across the street. I walk outside and see him in his car, he hits the steering wheel and he looks mad. He starts the car and accelerates hard. I start walking back to Gabbies apartment and my phone vibrates, its Gabbie.
"Hello?"
"Liza. What the fuck??"
"What?"
"Who were you on a date with?"
"Um no one. Why?"
"David just called me, he was pissed"
"I was with Jack, we just talked"
"As in Ja-"
"Yes that Jack"
"Where are you now?"
"Vine street"
"I'll come pick you up"
"Ok" I sat on a bench and waited.
[David's POV]
After seeing Liza with that guy I was jealous. I thought she liked me.. we aren't even together maybe they were just friends? I ended up driving to Santa Monica beach. I get a text from Liza.
L: David thats just I guy I used to know. Are you okay?
D: Really? So you weren't on a date?
L: No. I wasn't. Where are you?
D: Santa Monica beach.
L: Do you want to meet up?
D: Sure. Can we go to Target?
L: K. Ill meet you there :)
I smile and I get back in my car, I drive to the mall.

I walk into Target and see Liza standing in the makeup section.
"You don't need makeup Liza" I laugh and she turns around.
"Why?" We hug.
"Because. Your beautiful either way" I smile and so does she.
_
We keep walking around Target, we start talking about Vine and Youtube.
"What if I started vlogging?"
"What about Vine?"
"I want longer videos I guess, are you still going to film youtube vids?" I ask.
"I don't know.. maybe" She shrugs and we pay for our things.
" I have to go I'll see you tomorrow?" She smiles.
"Sure" I smile. We hug and she gets back into Gabbies car. I decide to text the group chat.
D: Hey anyone in LA?
A: Im back in a few days. I need to look at apartments.
D: You could always move in with me?
A: Really?
D: Ya. Its fine.
A: I'll think about it. Thanks man :)
S: Wanna meet up?
D: Sure.
Z: Heath and I are moving in an apartment in a week.
D: Nice. I was thinking of Vlogging, what do you think?
S: Only if Zane, Heath and I can too. Vine isn't working for me.
D: Same here. that would be cool if we all started.
D: I'll talk later. Bye :)
they all say bye and I unlock my apartment.
I need to say something to Liza. I really like her and I want us to be more than friends.

I love her.

[Liza's POV]
I lie on my bed and stare at the ceiling. I can't stop thinking about him.. I need to say something to David..

I love him.

One month later
I wake up and check my phone. Its November 28th, I let my eyes focus and see that its 8:17 am. I get up and eat breakfast. Im happy with myself now, Im perfect the way I am. I think to myself and smile. I eat my cereal and hear the front door open, its Gabbie.
"Your finally awake"
"How was your run?"
"Tiring" she starts making a protein shake.
"Im thinking of asking David out today..."
"Really!" She squeals.
"Yes" I laugh. David has been vlogging for about one month with Alex, Scott, Zane and Heath. He already had 500K subscribers and I have 510K, Ive started posting on youtube again and Im happy.
_
I get out of the shower and put on a singlet and jeans. I do my makeup and hair, I check my phone and call David. 
"Hey" I smile.
"Hello"
"What are you doing today?"
"Not much. Wan't to hangout?"
"Sure. Can you pick me up?"
"K. See you soon" he hangs up and I can't help but smile. I think David likes me too..
_
I hear his car beep outside, I say bye to Gabbie and walk outside.
"Hey" I put on my seatbelt. He smiles.
"Hey.." He looks at me up and down.
"What? Do I have smudged mascara or something?" I laugh.
"No your just really..pretty" he blushes and I feel my cheeks go red.
"David I need to tell you something"
"So do I liza" he smiles.
