Better Off (Lil Peep)

Chapter 40: London (Again)

Gus' POV a week(ish) later...

The tour was over. I had almost died...Samara and I spent a week in Paris, and now we were back in London. Where we spent our first night together. This time it was to stay, at least for a few months. It was all so much to process. But I didn't truly miss LA. Maybe only the nostalgia of my old apartment and my old friends, and the way things used to be. The small white walls and the outdated couches we grabbed off on Grand, salmon pink & smoke stained that I didn't need anymore. We had made enough money from the tour to finance a Benz truck & it blew my mind. As much as I knew that it came with the territory, I felt incredibly blessed. New car, new apartment, all new furniture. I could feel the changes creeping in. Being with her was so magical- so easy, effortless. When I was with Samara I felt so much more like myself. My real self.
I missed my friends too, but it was more than time for these changes. I didn't want to be the way I was anymore and her saving me in Spain is something that's staying with me. To think we'd started off as just friends- even if I was always staring at her. I chuckled at the thought. All I had wanted at first was to fuck, but she's become way more than that. The past three months were a blur of touring and heartbreak and strange mistakes and second chances. I suddenly felt this calm inside me, like everything had just fallen right into place. Back to writing, hitting the studio, and spending time with Samara and my London friends we would be living with now.

Samara was giggling and felt the need to blast my own music in the car on the way to the new place. I stared out the window, smiling as rain dropped down the tinted windows.

"We're here!" She squeaked finally. I grinned as we pulled into the driveway of the big white modern house that was our new home. We would be sharing it with Bexey, an old friend of mine, his videographer Rayn, and Rayn's girlfriend Alexis.

We hardly made it in the door before they came rushing out to greet us. There was more than just the roommates in sight & my mouth dropped open as they all blurred into my vision. I was seeing red.

"Miss me?" I knew the voice to well. Layla. And who was she arm & arm with Russ?

"Bro- you need to GO!" I yelled instinctively.

"Hey hey woah" Bex stepped in between us. "Russ and Layla are friends" he insisted.

"No friends of mine" I snarled. I was ready to fight right there knuckles clenched. I knew Samara was still grabbing bags from the car.

"Babe what's going on-" she dropped her bag in the driveway & froze.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING HERE"

my fucking thoughts exactly. Things were about to get interesting....
