The Bet

2. The Arrival

'Oh shit. Wait what.... Is this... Oh my God. WHY, JUST WHY' - I said, tears filling out the rims of my eyes and threatening to spill out any second.

-'Rose I don't know... I'm so sorry. I' m not letting you cry over that idiot. I'm staying here for the night, no butts. You can't be alone in times like this. Come on now, think about your trip, think about all the stuff you will see and all the people you will meet.' - Sarah said, trying to get my confidence up.

'I just don't know why he needed to do that. Why fuck me up after everything we've been through....'

-'That's the thing Rose. People sometimes do things that they don't need to. Sometimes they think they're getting what they need. But it turns out that's just what they want in that moment'

'I think you're right. I can't promise I'm not gonna cry, but let me just try and cheer up a little' - I said, tears still running down my cheeks.

We sat down and started to watch some Dolan Twins videos. My God, I don't think there can be a situation where these two couldn't cheer me up. They are just so beautiful. And not just that, they are so smart and confident, and silly, a literal definition of perfect, if perfect existed. After what seemed like 10 minutes, I looked up the clock and saw that I had to get prepared.

'Sarah, is it okay if I go and get ready? Oh yea, and could you drive me to the airport? I don't feel like spending money on a cab'

-'Sure thing dude, I'll be here'

I quickly got up and looked at the remainder of my stuff. I put on black leggings and a purple Nike hoody. I went to the bathroom and saw my face. I was a legit mess. I put on some foundation and concealer, did my eyebrows and put on a little bit of mascara. Lastly, I ironed my short red hair and looked at myself. I wasn't that bad. I am kinda short and skinny, but I like it that way. My eyes are a totally basic shade of brown, and I have thick brows. Lastly, I grabbed my backpack and put on my Vans sneakers, and went to the living room.

-'Let's go, everything is ready' Sarah said, grabbing her car keys and leaving the apartment.

I looked at my apartment one last time. It was kinda weird, leaving all I had just to try out my chances. I just hope everything is worth it at the end.

*1 hour later*

'I'm gonna miss you so much, promise me we'll talk everyday' - I said as I hugged Sarah one last time before I got into my plane. She looked at me with tears of joy.

-'Are you even serious about that?? Of course we will, call me when you land, and I'll text and Facetime you every single day' - she exclaimed while letting go of me.

I struggled with carrying my two full suitcases, and strolled right ahead. Brighter future, here we go.

-'AND DON'T EVEN DARE CRYING BECAUSE OF THAT IDIOT, FIND A HOT BABE, LA IS FULL OF THEM' - Sarah yelled, while laughing her ass off, not even caring about all the people that were looking at us in a weird way.

I just smiled and got into the plane. I got myself comfortable in the seat and started to doze off. Man, I don't even remember for how long I didn't sleep properly...

*A lot of time later*

I was woken up by people leaving the plane. I'm here already??? Must of passed out for a long time. I swiftly grabbed my stuff and went out of the airport to light a smoke. Just as I had finished the cigarette, I saw an attractive guy, probably around 20 years old, holding up a sign that said my name. That must be my helper.

'Hey it's me, Rose. Where are we heading first?'

-'Hey, I'm Joshua, I was assigned for leading you to your apartment, come with me.'

I entered a expensive looking car, while Joshua was packing my suitcases in the back. Quickly, he got in and started driving.

-'Wait, you're the girl that made the 'Rolex' remix? That was wild, everyone went crazy over that track' - Joshua exclaimed with a friendly smile.

'Well yeah, that one was the biggest banger I've had. I hope on making a similar one, just a little bit more hardcore'

-'Looking forward to that. I'm serious now, your tracks are absolute fire, and keep working on them. Alright, here's your home for the next month.'

I thanked him and got out of the car. Woah. Shit. This building is huge. Looks like they didn't save any money on this one. We got in, and I grabbed my backpack and opened my apartment door. The inside was beautiful, and the space was huge.

' The biggest living room of all times, a huge bedroom with its own bathroom and a walk in closet, plus a killer kitchen. Could this get any better?' - I asked Joshua, overly happy.

-'I don't think so, but it sure is great. So, here's your welcome box, and if you need anything at all, just call me, you have a note with all the numbers on the counter. Sonny will be back in 3 days, so by then, enjoy yourself' - he answered with a smirk.

' I sure will, see you soon' - I said while leading him out, and closing the door.

I looked at the clock. 2:30 pm. The jetlag is wearing off by now, so I thought I could do something interesting and not waste my day on television. After looking on google maps, I found a skatepark nearby. I guess I could get ready and go.
