N.J. ➵ C.A.
moving from a small town in New Jersey to a big city in California is quite the journey. what will happen to Gabby and her best friend Julia when an app gives her everything she never knew she wanted?
Gabby's POV it's currently 9:36 and me, maddie, alissa and julia are at our house getting ready to go out with all the guys. we all wanted to get ready together because we never really get any girl time. anytime we're all together, is usually when we're with the guys.
i spent most of my day editing and uploading my newest youtube video, so it'll be nice to get out and have fun tonight.
we're leaving my house at 10:30 to meet the guys at the Hollywood Hills house. it's very rare that all of the guys go out together to a club, so this is very rare. they usually just go in small groups or separately.
we all finish up and i look around to see what everyone's wearing. i smile looking at my friends. they're so pretty and i love them to death. my life is honestly so amazing. i have amazing, beautiful people surrounding me and constantly making sure i'm happy and i can't thank them enough.

we sat around and talked for a bit, then hopped into Alissa's car and headed for the house. we talked a bunch about everything and jammed out to random music, most of it being throwback songs. there's just something about listening to older songs from your childhood that gets you so hype.
when we arrive at the house, we all decide on eating a bit before we go out. just incase we all do decide to drink, it won't hit us as hard.
i walk out into the patio space and sit on one of the couches with a little bowl of chips. Lucas then comes out a little bit after and sat next to me.
he grabbed my hand, looked at me and said, "i'm so glad you're coming tonight. i can't wait to spend another night with you"
"how are you an actual person? you are literally the sweetest guy ever" i rested my head on his shoulder
"just trying to make sure i don't lose the best thing that's happened to me" he kissed the top of my head.
"we should probably get back with everyone else before they leave us here" i said, standing up. he spun me around to face him and looked at me up and down.
"god you're beautiful. gotta keep an eye on you tonight and make sure that nobody tries to steal you from me tonight"
i hug him and say "no one could ever take me from you".
i hug him and when i pull away, he kisses my forehead.
~At Warwick~ we arrived at the club and we were all scattered throughout the club. most of the group was at our table, though.
i was with maddie, nick and lucas. we all had a few drinks in us, but we weren't completely drunk. we were just dancing and all around having a good time.
i've been jumping around group to group, but Lucas still manages to be nearby. i love that. it's like he's my body guard.
i was sitting next to nordan and alex at the table and rested my head on alex's shoulder. i can feel myself slowly losing my energy. we've been here for about an hour and i've done nothing but drink, dance and socialize.
when i look around, i don't see Lucas anywhere. that's odd because he was pretty much following me around everywhere all night, but i don't think into it. he wants to have fun too. he's probably just off with nick somewhere.
"Alex!" i yell over the music, "where's the bathroom?"
"come on. i'll show you." he says
before we both stand up, i grab my phone and purse and he grabs my hand as he pushes through the crowd and takes me towards the bathroom.
once we reach them, i ask if he could just wait outside of them to make sure i can get back to the table without getting lost or something happening to me.
"but girls take forever in the bathroom!" he whines
"please alex? i just have to use it for like two minutes and i'll be out" i beg
"fine" he rolls his eyes
"thanks, love" i laugh and walk into the bathroom. i go to the bathroom, wash up and fix myself as fast as i can.
when i walk out, i grab alex's arm and we head back towards the table.
as i'm looking around the club, i see something that absolutely shatters my heart. my eyes start to go hazey and i could feel the stinging already occurring. my grip loosens on alex's arms and heartbreak is written across my face.
i can see alex turn around and look at me confused, but my eyes never leave the event that's going down right in front of me.
i feel a tear slip down my face.
alex looks in the direction that i am staring in. i see his head go back and forth between me and what's happening. i can't tell if it's anger or sorrow on his face. i don't care right now either.
i turn around and push through all the people, making my way towards the exit.
once i reach the outside, i run and run as far as i can.
when i think i've ran far enough to wear nobody from the group would know where i am, i stop. i walk a little bit farther and stop at a park. i sit on a little jungle gym set up. i place my back up against the wall, my knees up to my chest and cry. crying is all i feel i can do right now.
