2 weeks.

That's how long Samantha and Leonardo had no contact at all.

Neither left the house, and if someone wanted to see them, they had to visit. Most of their days were spent in bed, drinking alcohol, and hoping that one day they would drink themselves out of the misery they resided in.

Until Tobey.

He couldn't bare to see his best friend and the girl that he had learned to care for in so much pain. So he formed a plan. Gatsby was one of Tobey's favorite movies that he had acted in, and his plan included a Gatsby type party. He quickly decided on what he would do. It would take place the next night, and all of the greatest stars were invited, Leo and Samantha included. Say any celeb in Hollywood, and they would be there.

Samantha groaned when she heard her phone ring. She was drowning her sorrows in reruns of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and didn't feel like being interrupted. "Hello?" She muttered, taking another swig of tequila and grimacing.

"It's Tobey, hello princess, get up and get dressed, you're going to a party."

"Tobey, no, I'm not."

"Listen you're going, even if I have to drag you out of the house. I'll be there to personally pick you up tonight, so I recommend you be ready, unless you want to go looking like shit."

"Will Leo be there?"

"Course not, babe, I wouldn't do that to you. Be ready, 7 o'clock."

The line went dead and Samantha sighed a bit happily. She would finally go out of the house after 2 full weeks of isolation.

Samantha
Can I bring a friend?

Tobey
I'm bringing Jordyn

Samantha
I hate her, nevermind I'm not going

Tobey
Pls baby no, it's fine...she wants to talk to you

Samantha
K.

The time passes quickly, and can I just say that Samantha looked like a million bucks. Deep down, she hoped that Leo would pop up at the event so that she could show him how much he was missing. If only she knew...

A soft knock indicated that it was 7 o'clock, and it was party time. Sam smoothly glossed her lips before opening the door. Toby's mouth fell open as he looked the teenager up and down, his eyes wide.

"How the hell did Leo mess this up?" He groaned, shaking his head and holding his hand out for Sam. She chuckled and took his hand. He guided her to the limo, and opened the door.

"Hello." Samantha chirped to Jordyn.

"Hi, hon." Jordyn responded, picking at her nails. It was as if their grudge had magically disappeared. Tobey sat by her, and she comfortably placed her head in his lap.

"Are you guys um..."

"Yeah."

"Oh cool."

As she watched the new, adoring couple, Samantha felt more awkward and more alone than ever. All she could think of was how she craved Leo's touch, and how badly she wanted him by her side.

The party was a huge bash, and every successful actor was there. Sam felt slightly proud that she was invited to such an event. She and Jordyn lay on a red velvet sofa, getting tipsy off of drinks they had never heard of.
