FaZe Banks Little Sister - FaZe Adapt

Five

"Please just tell me why you've changed? Everyone's worried about you, you haven't been in videos or on social media in two weeks, we had to tell the fans you were ill." Alex explained as the girl sat in silence, avoiding eye contact while sipping her drink.

"I've just changed, people change." Hallie replied almost silently, not daring to look up.

"There has to be a reason. Look there isn't a nice way to say this but you can't go out and fuck a random guy every night."

"It's called drinking away my problems," She sighed. "And for the record I haven't slept with anyone."

For a split second Alex was baffled but quickly covered it with an unreadable expression. "What's happened, let me help?"

"Nothing a little alcohol can't solve." Hallie replied bluntly, her gaze not leaving the boringly interesting straw in her drink.

"There is more to life than getting drunk to forget you're problems, I'm meant to be you're best friend, please let me help you."

The quickly agitated girl, fired back a response without thinking it through properly. "It might not be the normal way but since when am I normal!"

"Just tell me what is wrong, I won't tell anyone else. I just want to help."

"No," She hissed, lowering her voice slightly, careful not to make a scene.

"Please, tell me what's wrong and I'll leave you alone."

Unwillingly, she opened up, if there was anyone she felt like she could talk to it's Alex. "It's just stress doesn't mix well with my ADHD, then there is my anxiety. It's just an escape, something I can rely on that doesn't bother anyone else."

"Well next time instead of going out to a bar, come to mine. We all worry about you and want the old you back." Disbelief ran through Hallie's mind, looking up at him. She smiled, though it didn't reach her eyes that he knew.

Hallie didn't want to be changed. Hallie didn't want people to assume there was something wrong with her. Hallie didn't want to be perfect, she knew that was ridiculous. Hallie didn't want to change for the media, she never had and didn't plan on changing that.

Hallie just want to be herself anymore.

If she change it was supposed to be because she wanted to, not because of someone else.

Hallie snapped out of her thoughts as Alex started speaking. "Once we've finished these lets go back to my place and play Fortnite, I've missed that." What he really meant was 'I've missed you' but he didn't want to jeopardise their friendship.

Hallie sat in complete silence, just nodding in agreement. She was defeated, she didn't want to go but she knew that she owed it to him.

A few hours later and Alex was unsurprisingly throwing a tantrum as Hallie had just beaten him in a GTA race for the third time in a row. "How do you always beat me!" The pair had been sat in the theatre for ages, they'd played Fortnite and COD but soon moved on to GTA after getting bored.

"I'm just the best..." She giggled, having a better time than anticipated. "Well that and you're shit. Should've stuck to playing COD in your bedroom back in Arizona."

"Nah you cheated!" He yelled, playfully glaring at her before getting up and throwing their sweet wrappers in the bin.

"Nope."

"There's no other way. Look me in the eyes Hal, and tell me you didn't cheat." He murmured turning to face Hallie, making eye contact with her that she couldn't bare.
