Aesthetic - Jaden Hossler

1.

Alice was nervous when she started to call her sister. What if she made the wrong decision? When Addison picked up, she couldn't understand her at first because it was so loud but a few seconds later it was quiet, and she was able to hear her sister.

" Hey Alice! What's up?".

Alice was still clenching her hands:" Hey Addie, do you have time?"

That was the moment that Addison noticed how weird her sister was acting. "Sure Allie, I will always have time for you."

"Okay, I found a flat in LA that I would be able to afford with my designs and a job at a café." It was quiet for a while before you could hear Addison squeal.

" That's great Allie, I can't wait to have you here!"

Alice unclenched her fists:" So you think it's the right thing to do? I would leave everything behind. Oh no. How will I explain it to Maileen? What if nothing works out and I- "

Addison realized what her sister was afraid of:" Don't worry Allie, Maileen will understand. This is your dream; it always has been, and she knows it. Some friends and I will drive here with you, and a few of the boys will also help to renovate your flat."

Alice was relieved to hear these words from her baby sister. Sure, she had spoken to her parents about this and they understood her and supported her, still, she was afraid of the big change.

"Speaking of boys. How is it going with Bryce? His name was Bryce, right?" Addison chuckled. She forgot that her sister wasn't to keen of social media. Well, she maybe would like it, if she would really understand it, and go on Instagram occasionally.

"Oh, we broke up, it just didn't work out."

Alice frowned:" But I thought that it was going so well."

Addie stopped smiling:" It was, but the public wasn't so fond of us together, so we only were dating for three days, for the public at least, but we are still friends. He and his friends will probably help us. To be honest, they are a little nicer than the boys that I am living with."

"Oh no, that's terrible, I'm sorry. But it's good that you guys are still talking and everything. Listen, Addie. I will sign the contract for the flat on Friday, so in three days. You think that you can pick me up early in the morning?"

Addison mumbled a "one moment" into her phone before she was talking to somebody else. "Dixie and Charli will come with me, and we will be there tomorrow and have a sleep over so that we can leave early on Friday. You okay with that?"

Alice started to smile like a madwoman:" That is a really cool idea. Are they nice?" Dixie started to laugh when she heard the question.

" I think you will love them. How do you want to move your furniture?"

"Oh right. I sold a lot of stuff, so I am sleeping on an air mattress right now, and my clothes are already in moving boxes. I only have a few things that would need to be transported, and they would fit in your car."

"That's good, so we will have to buy new furniture, and you saved money for it?"

"Mhmm, I hope it will be enough."

"Oh Allie, how many times do I need to tell you? I can always lend you money, and you don't have to pay it back immediately. Just pay me back whenever you can okay?"

Allie's eyes started to water at that:" I know Addie thank you. I love you so much, you can't believe it."

Addison started to laugh:" Don't cry! I love you too, see you tomorrow." With smiles on their faces, the sisters hung up.

****************

Shortly after they ended the call Allie texted Maileen, saying that she should come over because she had exciting news.

Ten minutes later her door flew open:" What's up bitch! Oh wow! Since when do you store your clothes in a box?"

Alice started to laugh:" I'm moving to LA"

Maileen's face lit up:" Shut up! You're doing it? Oh my god!" squealing she threw herself next to Alice on her air mattress, tackling her in a bear hug.

"So, you're not mad at me?" Alice's best friend started to frown:" I am sad that I won't see your cute face anymore, but I think you and I both would have been sadder if you didn't do it."

Alice's eyes started to tear up again. Maileen started to laugh and hugged her again:" Don't cry, baby girl. You got this. We will text and we can face time. Hey, maybe you will finally meet a nice boy, huh?"

Alice started to laugh while crying, so her sobs were strangled. "I can stay the night baby, but I have to leave in the morning. I have a business trip to Nebraska. So I will say goodbye to you in the morning. Kay?"

Alice nodded while standing up:" You wanna watch a movie? We can watch it on my laptop."

And with that, a movie night followed.
