L.A. For You

Chapter 3: Just Friends

Anna's POV: It is December 15th. I leave in 2 days. I woke up early. The twins were gone. I decided to go to the little coffee shop I went to a few days ago. While I was walking, I decided I saw someone familiar. It was Dinah from Fifth Harmony. She probably doesn't remember me anyway. I walked past her. She started talking to me.

"Anna, is that you", Dinah asked me.

"Yeah it is", I said. I used to go a
lot of Fifth Harmony concerts and I met them alot. So, they made me part of the tour crew. I miss it. Tour life was kind of fun, but stressful.

"How'd you get here", she asked me.

"It's a long story", I said.

"Trust me, I've got time", she said.

We went into the coffee shop. I told her everything. From college to where I am now. The thing I didn't tell her is my ex. Can't tell that to her yet. After the whole talk with her, we both went back to my house.

"You bought this house", she said.

"Yes. All me.", I said.

"You got a dance studio too", she said.

"I use it all the time", I said.

"Girl what you be dancing to", she said.

"Anything that a good beat lol", I said.

"Still know those Fifth Harmony dances", she asked me.

"Always. I've seen so many of those. How could I forget", I said.

"Same here. I remember most of them. So, you and the twins huh, she said.

"Yeah. I met them at that coffee shop a few days ago. Don't worry. We're just friends.... maybe I don't know", I said.

"Why you say that", she asked me.

"Well one of them asked me to go to dinner tonight...just to get to know me better and I don't know what to think", I said.

"Well, have you had any boyfriends before", she asked me.

"Yeah, but he cheated on me with a cheerleader. We got into a big argument and I left. I graduated early and moved to Los Angeles to get a new start in my life", I said.

"Oh I'm sorry", she said.

"Don't be sorry. I'm okay. Maybe it's for the best", I said.

As Dinah and I were talking, somebody knocked at the door. It was the twins. I introduced them to Dinah. We all started talking. After an hour, Dinah had to leave. Around 1pm, I let the twins to put on a movie while I started making lunch. I put on my music very low, so I wouldn't be making food in silence. I didn't have much to work with. After 30 minutes, I was done making the food. We started eating and talking.

"What are you guys doing tomorrow", I asked.

"Tomorrow", Grayson said in a confused way. I looked at them like they didn't know.

"Yeah tomorrow, your birthday", I said.

"Oh. I think we have meetings all morning", Ethan said.

"That must suck, are y'all coming over tomorrow afternoon", I asked.

"We should be, depends on when we get out of there", Grayson said. I nodded.

Grayson's POV: It's about 4pm here in Los Angeles. Anna and I are in the car on the way to the restaurant. She grabs my hand while we are in the car. I was confused, but then I just accepted it. After 25 minutes, we got to the restaurant. The waiter took our drink order. Anna got a Dr.Pepper and I got water.

"Why'd you grab my hand earlier", I asked.

"I feel safe with you. I might not be ready for a relationship yet, because I'm still heartbroken about what happened", she said. I didn't know what to say. I really do like her alot. No, we're just friends.

"That's okay. I'm always here if you need to talk", I said trying to cheer her up. She smiled a bit.

"Thanks", she said.

The waiter comes back over to us and take our orders. We talk for a little, eat our food, and talk more. Anna is such a good person. I'm so glad Ethan and I are friends with her. I just hope we don't mess up the friendship have with her. We finish eating, I paid for the dinner, and we are headed back to her house.

Anna's POV: We were going back to my house and then we got stuck in traffic. I hate traffic. We are probably going to be stuck here for 1 hour or 2 hours.

"Me too", Grayson said randomly.

"Did I say that out loud", I asked confused.

"No I knew what you were thinking", Grayson said laughing.

"Oh ok I guess", I said laughing. I looked at my phone and saw Ethan Facetiming me.

*FaceTime*

"Hey Ethan", I said trying to calm down.

"Having fun", he asked.

"Yeah except stuck in traffic", I said.

"I hate traffic", he said.

"Yeah", I said.

"Ethan, why didn't you call me", Grayson said.

"I don't want you guys in an accident", he said.

"Right, no car wrecks here", I said. Ethan and I started laughing.

"When are you guys coming home", he asked.

"Hour", I said.

"It's that bad", he asked.

"Yeah bye Ethan", I said.

"Bye Anna", he said.

It's 7pm and I'm getting really tired. I think about the twins and my decisions with being friends with them. I start falling asleep in the car.

Grayson's POV: I look over to see her asleep. I smile. I look back at the road and have away with my thoughts. Ethan and I are doing something good with keeping Anna as our friend. I hope we don't mess it up. She's a normal teenager with a two year degree in psychology. Maybe she can teach us something about it. It's 8pm and we pull up to her house. She took 5 minutes to wake up. We both get out of the car and get to the door of her house.

"Just to let you know I had fun and sorry for falling asleep", she said.

"Yeah me too and it's okay", I said.

She smiled and goes into the house.

Anna's POV: We got back to the house.

"Finally you guys are back", Ethan said.

"Yeah. I have something to tell both of you. I'm leaving for Oregon on the 17th", I said.

"We're not mad", they both said. Twin telepathy. I smile.

"Ok good", I said. I went to my phone and Dinah was Facetiming me.

*Facetime*

"Hey Dinah what's up", I said going to my room.

"Girl you home? How was the date?", she asked me.

"Yeah the twins are here, Grayson and I talked and told him that I wasn't ready for a relationship yet", I said.

"Is he okay with that", she asked.

"Yeah we're just friends", I said.

"Good, I gotta go bye", she said. I waved bye to her. I went downstairs and sat on the chair next to the couch. The twins looked at me while I was in trouble. I told them I was tired and it was Dinah who was calling me.

"Goodnight guys", I said.

"Goodnight", they both said.

I went upstairs, plugged in my phone, and went to sleep with my thoughts.
