The Bet

1. The Big Announcement

Waking up drenched in cold sweat is probably not the way most people wish their day started. On the other hand, a big day was awaiting me today. Sonny John Moore, the director of OWSLA, gave me a big chance a couple of days before. I got invited to Los Angeles for a month so he could test out my skills and maybe offer me a contract. Today was the day I pack for my trip.

I got out of bed and immediately called my best friend Sarah.Of course, she answered my call after the second ring.

'Dude emergency, please be at my apartment in ten. My flight leaves in 10 hours and I didn't even pack yet'

-'Yeah no problem, just make us some coffee, I legit feel like a zombie'

I laughed at her words and hung up the call. She has always been there for me,especially after the accident. We lived pretty close to eachother so we were together almost all the time. I quickly put some water on the stove to make us coffee, and went to the bathroom.

-'WHAT THE FU... oh dear Lord not again!' I almost screamed at the sight of my ruffled and nest-like red hair. I just tied it in a messy ponytail with little pieces of hair falling out,quickly brushing my teeth and finishing the coffee in the process. At last, I heard the door open.

-'Aaaaaay Rose, how ya doin?I brought us some breakfast, considering you were too tired to even walk from last night'

'You don't even know how much I owe you for everything today... Talking about last night, what actually happened?'

-'Well nothing wild, except the fact that you didn't even recognise James' - she said in a laughing fit.

James is my boyfriend and we've been together for almost a year now. I'm sure he won't be mad at me, he knows what's been going on for the past couple of months.

-'Are you ready for tonight? I mean, it's a big deal. You're sure you can handle LA on your own for a whole month?' - she added, a little cautious.

'Sarah it's fine really. I mean, I'm still not 100% okay but I think I got this one. It's literally a chance I get once in my lifetime' - I added on, confidently.

-'Do you think you'll meet them?

'Who?'

-'The Dolan twins, I mean you've been obsessing over them for the past two years, and they live there dude' - she added and laughed, flipping her perfectly dyed blonde hair.

'Well I don't think so, I mean they are really popular and have like millions of fans, I'm just one of them' - I said with a little dose of disappointment.

-'You're literally joking me right now. You're kind of a big deal now, I mean since your YouTube channel exploded from all those tracks and remixes'

'Okay don't make me more nervous than I already am, just help me pack up, I have like a ton of stuff to do, and James is coming over later. Shit, I won't see him for the next month, maybe more...'

-'Actually what did he say when you told him you were going?'

'He was not that sad, I think he was overly happy for hearing I'm going for that long. I planned on talking to him today...' - I added on a little nervously.

-'I'm sure you're just paranoid, everything will be okay.Let's get started on now, I bet you're packing like a shitton of stuff'

'You're right about that one, let's go'

*3 hours later*

My suitcases were packed, and pretty much stuffed from all the stuff in them. Sarah and I just sat down and lit a cigarette on the terrace. It's a bad habit, I know, but ever since the accident I just started smoking from all the stress.

'Again, thank you soooo much for this, I don't know what I would do without you'

-'No problem dude, I should get going soon, James should be here any minute'

Bzzzzzz

'Yo dude I think you got a new message' I told Sarah and quickly gave her the phone.

Sarah took her phone and opened the message. She made a shocked face and looked at me for a couple of moments. After silence that seemed like eternity, with shaking hands she gave me the phone.

-'Rose I'm so sorry, but I think you need to see this...'

And there it was. A picture from last night. James kissing his ex girlfriend.
