[Maggie's POV]

•••

The plane flight to Toronto was so long, I'm used to long flights but this one was torture. I watched a couple of movies which was good, listened to a lot of music and wrote a bit, but I swear time wouldn't go by.

I got to Sky's house just a few hours ago, I'm staying here for a few days since she wouldn't let me stay in a hotel. She says it's fair since she stays at our house every time she goes to LA.

"Why did you think the flight was so long?" The green eyed girl offers me a smile as I explain how bored I was for hours, we're now sitting on her couch having a cup of hot chocolate.

"I guess it was just the excitement to get here, I mean I've been wanting to come to Canada for ages."

"Is it that or were you excited to see this one particular guy we're both thinking about, who just happens to live close by and gets you feeling some type of way?" She lets a small smirk show before bringing the light pink mug to her full lips, taking a sip of her drink.

My jaw falls to the ground when I hear her accusations. I guess that is also one of the reasons why I'm so happy to be here. But I won't admit it.

"How could you say that? This trip is strictly professional, I'm just here to meet with a couple of important people and Stephen, our manager, and then I'm gonna go back to LA, right back to work." I try to act serious but it doesn't last when Sky bursts out laughing, making me do the same.

"You're such a liar. You know you're dying to see him. Have you two spoken since the photos of him with his girlfriend and then your video went viral?"

"Yeah, it was nerve-wracking, I was rambling, blushing like crazy, but he wasn't fazed at all to be fair. I thought he'd be crazy mad at me for making a scene when we're only just friends but he actually didn't, he said it was totally fine and that he actually found the video funny." I tell her and notice her head tilting a little to the side and her eyebrows furrowing to show her confused expression.

"Really? That's weird. He's either lying and it made him uncomfortable or he's actually happy because now he knows you're jealous and he's gonna use that to his advantage."

"What do you mean? How is that a good thing for him to be happy about?" I look down at my white mug before taking a sip of the hot sweet drink.

"Remember those couple of days we were all together, the whole group?" She asks and I nod my head wanting her to continue. "Well, I saw the way you two interact, how he was protective of you. During dinner I watched a few glances being exchanged, then the whole night you two were laughing together, I think he found something in you he knows he can't find in anyone else and you feel the same way."

That is definitely exaggerated. Yes, we do have a good time when we're together and I know we have some type of connection but I wouldn't be dramatic about it. Jake called it "true love". I don't even think I believe in that, I like the idea of falling in love with someone from the moment you first meet, learn to love them every day unconditionally, possibly spend the rest of your life with them, but that's just not realistic, is it?

I can not see it happening to me, maybe it's because I never had a good example of a loving couple growing up. When I think about it for real, I honestly think that only happens in movies, true love and all that, and even then what happens when the movie ends and the curtain drops?

"I guess that makes sense, but we just became friends not too long ago, of course, we feel like we've known each other for longer, and I technically knew him before all of this, that's why I feel so connected to him. But he has a lot of friends, I'm just another one Sky." I hug the fluffy white couch pillow closer to my chest and drink again, partially to hide my face behind the mug.
