"al, wake up," david says quietly, nudging alexis in her sleep.
"no," alexis turned her face away from david in an attempt to ignore him and go back to sleep.
"laine is making pancakes, c'mon," david begins to pulls the covers.
"tell her her pancakes are trash. leave me alone," alexis grumbles before snatching the blankets back.
"your loss," david laughs walking out of the room. "heath is coming over later by the way."
alexis instantly perked up at the sound of heath's name. "who's coming over?" she asked sitting up.
"heath!" david says walking down the hall. alexis quickly jumps out of bed to follow him.
"wait, so the heath hussar, aka big daddy heath, is coming here? to my apartment?" alexis said in an incredulous tone, standing in front of david looking up at him with wide eyes.
"mhm," david nodded. alexis and david had an inside joke where alexis constantly acted like heath was a famous celebrity, but only when he's not around. "he said he might do an exclusive meet and greet just for you."
"so is this meet and greet in the living room or the bedroom?" alexis suggestively rose her eyebrows while saying 'bedroom.'
"actually," david pretended to check his non existent watch, "his schedule is jam packed today he can't make it. i just wanted you to come eat."
"fuck you, asshole." alexis took a dramatic bite of her toast and stormed back to her room.
"lex, i swear to god if i find one crumb i'm sending you to a slaughterhouse," delainey yelled from the kitchen.
alexis laughed out loud grabbing her phone. she looked through her notifications, seeing a bunch of tags on instagram.
"delainey! what the fuck?" alexis screams from her room.
"i'm sorry but it was too cute not to post," delainey said with a pout when alexis came back into the kitchen.
"well it's too late to delete it now." alexis sighs. there's nothing more she hated than people posting stuff without her knowing, especially stuff like this.
"c'mon, allie, it's not that bad," david says siding with delainey.
"yeah, easy for you to say, you guys basically broadcast you're whole life for anyone to see!" alexis raised her voice, getting frustrated. "i'm going for a walk."
"lex, i'm sorry," delainey said wrapping her in a hug. alexis pushed her away and slipped on her shoes.
"yeah, okay." she walked out the door.

it was times like this when alexis gave herself time to really think. ever since sophomore year, whenever she became overwhelmed with any type of emotion, she would take a walk. sometimes it'd be around a couple blocks, and others it would be a couple miles. one place alexis was always drawn to was the forest. although they aren't common in la, back home in vernon hills, there was wooded area within a couple if miles of her. she would walk through a forest preserve for hours without realizing. now, in la, alexis walks to the beach. whenever she wanted an escape she'd sit under the boardwalk. she loved listening to the snippets of people's conversations and the waves crashing against each other.
without thinking, alexis arrived to her favorite spot under the boardwalk. the mid-day sun made the sand almost too hot to touch. she sat down and began picking up the sand, then letting fall from her palm.

"are you actually upset that i posted that?" delainey questioned alexis as soon as she entered the shared apartment.
alexis thought for a moment, "yeah, kinda."
"i'm sorry lex, i didn't think you would mind."
"it's fine, but i rather not have my life broadcasted. especially stuff with david. it's always blown way too out of proportion. like wow, we slept in the same bed! suddenly i'm pregnant with jason's kid and living in a ditch! like we cuddled it's not that deep." alexis let out a heavy sigh. she hated her name plastered over twitter and instagram.
"lex, you can't tell me you guys don't act like a couple," delainey reasoned.
"i know, lainey, but were not a couple so it shouldn't be a big deal."
"that makes it a bigger deal, lexi."
"how?"
"the way the fans see it, you guys not dating, yet acting like a couple makes them think there's something going on behind the scenes that they don't know about." delainey explains. in a way it made sense, but alexis didn't want to see the logic.
"i'm over it to be honest, i hate the attention," alexis sighed going into her room.

david's contact lit up alexis's phone screen for the third time in the past five minutes.
"david it's almost midnight please go to bed." alexis said as soon as the call connected.
"i can't sleep." david's voice was tired and the facetime call was black.
his raspy voice took alexis off guard. "why?" she questioned before the silence became awkward.
"i miss you," david's voice was so low alexis almost didnt hear him.
"wanna go for a drive?" alexis asked knowing the answer.
"come over and we'll take my car," david says shuffling about in the background.
"alright i'll be there in like 15 minutes."
