it's been a week since the ordeal. it would always linger in the back of laela's mind, no matter how much she tried to distract herself. same for zion.
the two both would occasionally go on each other's accounts, seeing what the other was up to.
laela's week has been full of shoots and alone time. she was currently getting ready for a launch party for tarte's new shapetape foundation line. she didn't want to go, for two reasons.
one, was that she knew that the line had barely any shades for people of color, and a bunch of lighter shades that all looked the same.
two, she just did not want to go to a party. the last one obviously went terrible, and she wouldn't be surprised if this one went the same.
as she continued her eyeshadow, her phone dinged with an instagram message notification.
her heart stopped when she read it.
zionkuwonu: hey. im really sorry for what i did. im sorry it took me a week to realize how wrong it was. maybe we can talk sometime and you can hear me out.
laela's eyebrows furrowed as she read the notification over and over, finally opening it, minutes later.
but when she got to the dm page, the message was gone. the boy unsent it, too nervous to see what she'd say and hoping and praying that she didn't see the notification.
the girl shook her head and went back to her makeup, trying to rid the thoughts in her mind.
meanwhile, zion was getting ready for an event that karsen was dragging him to. since she was a beauty youtuber, she would always get invited to these launch parties and drag zion to them, since she was allowed a plus one.
she showed him the product it was for. tarte shape tape foundation.
"why are there like 15 white shades that all look the same and 4 dark ones?" zion inquired. he thought that by now makeup would be inclusive for everyone.
karsen shrugged. "i love this stuff though, they sent it to me in the mail and i've used it ever since."
the boy nodded, starting to tune her out as he finished getting dressed and he sat on his bed, going on his phone.
his curious mind floated to laela, so he went on instagram and for the fourth time that week, went on her account and watched her story.
