Clickbait, baby (david dobrik)

the finale chapter;

**warning: explicit content

Two months had passed since i'd been home.

I was still with Heath, we were together most days. I edited his videos and made most of them with him.

I hung out with everyone, including Liza. I felt closer to her lately than anyone else, even Gabbie. Ever since we went on that tour together, we really worked out our differences.

I walked into the rehearsal space for the first day of rehearsals for tour.. only to see Liza. I actually felt my heart drop into my stomach. She looked up with a smile, until she saw me, which instantly made her smile drop.

"Alright guys, lets get started," the choreographer said, making Liza and I's head pop to attention.

This should be interesting.

Even though that first day seemed like it would be hell, Liza actually wasn't bitchy to me. She just let me be for a while. Until one day we ended up talking. And we talked all night. And we realized just how much we had in common.

David and I had barely spoken. We only talked when necessary. But I knew through the friend group that he was still hanging out with Andrea from time to time, which just made my stomach twist.

Now, I was getting ready for the Streamy awards tonight. Heath and I were going to walk down the red carpet together, our first event as a couple. We have never just announced that we are a couple, but it's pretty obvious. Like I said, I am in all of his videos and we post about each other constantly.

Everyone else from the group was going to be there of course, which meant David. It made me wonder if Andrea would walk with David.

Why did I even care?

I finish putting my makeup on and Liza, Gabbie, and Jessi come in grinning at me and I smile at them in my mirror before I turn around. "You guys look beautiful."

"So do you!!" Gabbie squealed.

"You look hot, babe." Liza said, winking.

"Are you guys ready to go?"

"born ready," Liza said, triumphantly.

I giggled and Gabbie rolled her eyes as we headed out into the living room where Heath was waiting on us. He smiled at me in admiration. "Wow, baby. You look beautiful."

I grinned as he kissed my cheek. "I know,"

He smirked and he began to lead me out the door, Liza and Gabbie following behind. We head downstairs to our uber, and we were off. We pull up to the awards and Liza and Gabbie begin to get out. Heath looks over to me, raising his eyebrows. "You ready for first official debut as a couple?"

"Ready," I said with a quick nod.

He smiled and grabbed my hand as we got out. Lots of people took our pictures and asked us questions.

"Are you dating?"

"We are," Heath replied with a smile down at me.

"Carlie hows it been after the tour?"

"I've been good. Just relaxing with friends."

After a few more questions, we start to head inside. Right as we start to head in the door, the cameras start taking rapid fire photos. They are all asking questions at once. I turn towards the commotion to see David walking down the carpet smiling... alone.

I oddly felt a wave of relief at the sight. David made eye contact with me and it felt like time stopped for a moment. I know that sounds like the most bullshit cliche thing ever, but seriously. As soon as we made eye contact, it felt like things slowed down and that it was just a blur of lights, me, and him.
