Clickbait, baby (david dobrik)

chapter seven;

A/N: I wrote more to chapter six, but it's not there 😡. So, I had to rewrite the beginning of this what was actually the end of the other chapter, lol.

David just looked at me for a moment before saying, "You know what, let's not do this." He said, going to get his stuff and leave.

I reach over and grab his sleeve and get him to look at me. He just stops and avoids my eyes. "David.." I started. "Just talk to me."

He just sat there a minute, looking at the studio's wooden floor. He finally sighs and sits down and I join him, crossing my legs as I do so and face him. I just sit patiently as he gets his thoughts together for a moment. He finally said, "Liza came by the apartment today.."

My body stiffened at her name just on reflex. "Why?" I said.

He still couldn't look me in the eye as he said, "She said she missed me.."

Ouch.

"What did you say?" I asked.

He threw his hands up in the air. "I didn't really know what to say. Two days ago she's handing me my shit in a box and now she misses me. I don't know what that means.."

"Maybe she does.." I said. "You are a great guy."

He finally looked me in the eye and gave me a small smile before looking back down to the ground.

"I'm sorry for coming in here all pissed. It's not even about you. But Liza and I talked for a while, pretty calmly actually. Then, we were looking at our phones and I saw Zane's Snapchat.."

I remembered that it was pictures of me and Heath. "Yeah?" I asked.

"And it instantly pissed me off. It put me in a bad mood. Liza picked up on it and left because she didn't want to deal with it.. which is where our problems started. She never wants to talk about the real issues.."

I was trying to focus on what he was saying about Liza but all I heard was that when he saw pictures of Heath and I that it instantly pissed him off. "Wait, So.. why did Zane's story piss you off?"

He just looked at me for a minute, hoping that I would catch on. But I never said anything. I wanted him to say it. He looked away as he mumbled, "I guess it made me a little jealous.."

I blinked a few times, trying to comprehend what was happening here. He was jealous... of me and Heath?

"Why?" I whispered.

He threw his hands up again and said, "I wish I knew what I felt.. it would make it easier on everyone." He put his head in his hands.

"Hey," I said, putting my hand on his knee. "You just got out of an almost 3 year relationship. It is perfectly understandable that you still have feelings for Liza. It would be weird if you didn't. It's also understandable that you don't know what you want right now. The best thing you could do is to take some time to yourself and think about what you really want. And sometimes separating from people can make you realize how much you really want them."

He nodded, taking all of this information in. "You give really good advice, Car. Thank you," He said.

"You're welcome," I said, grinning at him. "What do you say we try and shoot this video?"

"Let's do it!" He said.

We helped each other up and we started the camera and David and I shot a short intro explaining the video. I begin to teach David the steps and it wasn't the best. It was pretty laughable. The song was Latin, so there was a lot of hip and body rolls included in the choreography, and David just couldn't do it. He tried his best, but the kid just wasn't made to move like that. I laughed a lot and so did he. We finally go to do a full run through of it all and David's feet slide out from under him.
