After my mom left I went into Todd's room to see if he was still packing. I knocked on his door and he opened it. I walked in and sat on his bed. He sat down next to me.

"So how's the packing going? I'm gonna buy the tickets when I go back to my room." I said

"I haven't started yet." He said bluntly

"What's wrong?"

"We need to talk."

"Okay." I already know how this is going to end.

"I think we were better as friends. I want to break up and go back to being just friends."

"Okay. I think i'm gonna go to New York by myself." 

"Okay."

I went back to my room and bought my tickets. The plane was leaving at 5 am. I grabbed my bag and put my camera, laptop, notebook, phone, and wallet inside. I put all my luggage in my car. Then I started driving to my studio apartment. I have a secret studio that I go to when I need space. I brought Todd here once, but never after that because it felt weird because it was my space. When I got there I grabbed my bag and went inside.

Everything was exactly where I left it the last time I was here. I went to the piano in the corner and set up my camera and started recording.

"Hey guys. As you can see i'm not in my room right now. I'm actually in my studio apartment. I've had it for a while, but only I come here, but I'm going through some stuff right now and I want to sing about it. I'm going to sing I hate you, i love you gnash featuring Olivia O'Brien. Enjoy." 

I sang the song and played the piano to it. Once I was done I was done recording I edited the video and posted it. I got a text from David saying

'Did you Todd break up?'

'Yea. How'd you know?' I replied

'I saw your video. I'm a true friend I got your post notifications on.'

'You're the best.'

'I know, but where are you? I mean you said at your studio apartment, but where is it?'

'It's not that far from the house. It's my safe place because no one knows where it is. Well I brought Todd here once a long time ago. I'm hoping he forgot where it is though.'

'Can I come see it?'

'I guess.' I sent the address and the apartment number.

'Alright see you soon.'

I put down my phone and went to the fridge. I got out a water then post mated some food. I haven't been here in a while so there isn't much food. I want to cook so not much food isn't going to help me. 

There was a knock at the door and it was David. I let him in and he looked around at the apartment and said

"Wow it's nicer than I thought it would be."

"I'm gonna take that as a compliment."

"So you just come here to get away from everyone."

"Yea. I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Where are you going?"

"New York. My mom is getting an apartment and wants me to have my stuff. I'm going for a few days."

"Can I come with you? I've always wanted to see New York and if I go with you i'll be with one of my best friends and you know where everything is."

"Sure, but you need a ticket." I walked over to my computer and went onto the website to buy him a ticket.

"Wait. You're not buying my ticket. I asked to come so i'm buying the ticket." David said

"Are you sure?" I said

"Yes."

"Well there is on seat left on the flight i'm going on. You better buy it now."

He pulled out his credit card and typed in the information. Then he he went home to pack. After he left my post mate got here with my food. I put everything where is goes then I started cooking. Since David was coming back over after he was done packing I made extra. I made chicken and rice. David was back by the time it was done.

He sat down at the table with me and we ate and talked about anything and everything. He vlogged a little and so did I. After eating I washed the dishes then we watched Netflix. It was getting late so I said

"You can sleep in the bed and I'll sleep on the couch."

"No this is your place i'll sleep on the couch." He said

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Now go to bed before I change my mind."

"Alright goodnight."

Since it's a studio apartment there are no walls, beside the bathroom. I walked over to the closet and grabbed a t-shirt and shorts and went into the bathroom to change. Then I got a pillow and a blanket and gave it to David. After, I laid down in my bed and went to sleep. I finally slept through the night without a nightmare. 

I woke up to my alarm. It woke David up too. I quickly grabbed some clothes and changed in the bathroom. I changed into a grey crop shirt, a black jacket, army green jeans, and Adidas.

David wore the same thing he was wearing. I got all my stuff together and ready for the 5 hour flight. We left my studio and went to the airport. We got on the plane and flew to New York.
