L.A. For You

Chapter 8: New and Old Friends

Anna's POV: It is 8am on December 22nd. I wanted to go get coffee, so I did. It's a part of my daily routine now. I get a text from the twins in our group chat.

Gray: Anna, are you okay?

Ethan: yeah I want to know too

Me: I'm okay. Life just really is unpredictable and it hurts.

Gray: ok I'm sorry :(

Ethan: yeah me too :(

Me: No it's okay I'll be fine

Gray: ok

Ethan: if you say so

I put my phone down. I'm on the verge of being really upset. Someone comes up to me.

"Hey, are you okay", someone said. I realized it was Joshua Bassett. He's been in a few tv shows.

"Yeah. Life if very unpredictable", I said.

"What happened you don't have to tell me", he asked.

"My ex called me yesterday trying to get back with me but I said no because he cheated on me", I said.

"Oh I'm sorry. My name is", he said. I cut him off.

"I know who you are, Joshua Bassett. You were on that Stuck In The Middle show and a few other shows. No, I don't fangirl over celebrities", I said.

"How'd you know", he asked me.

"I know alot about celebrities and not to be weird, but happy birthday", I said.

"Thanks", he said.

Joshua and I talked in the coffee shop for about 15 minutes and then he had to leave. I did get his number, so we could keep in touch. On my way home, I kept getting texts from Grayson. Yes, I drive to the coffee shop now. Anyway, after 30 minutes, I get home. I check my phone and see all of Grayson's texts.

Me: Grayson, I promise I'm not ignoring you. I just think you and Ethan need to separate from me for a little bit. I like you alot, I told Ethan that. I don't want to get in between you and Ethan's brother relationship. Also, my ex tried to call me saying he wants me back. I said no and hung up. Life is very unpredictable and it hurts.

Gray: I understand. Thanks for having mine and Ethan's brother relationship in your thoughts. I respect that enough from you. Now, do I need to beat your ex up?

Me: haha no thanks for understanding :)

Gray: are you gonna be okay?

Me: I will be eventually.

Gray: good. Gotta go film with E

Me: ok have fun

*time skip, 12pm*

I was sitting on the couch editing my YouTube videos from Oregon. I get a text from Bryce, yes Bryce Hall, the problematic one on social media all the time. We used to be really good friends back then, but then we both went separate ways career wise.

Bryce😔: have you seen the drama yet?

Me: between you, zach, and tana? I did see it. Why?

Bryce😔: this drama is still going on

Me: why would you do it? And don't use the I was drunk I didn't mean it excuse.

Bryce😔: I'm sorry. Things got out of control.

Me: it should have never happened Bryce. Why'd you text me?

Bryce😔: I need someone to talk to. I feel lost and so immature. Please tell me what I should do.

Me: Bryce, this is all on you. I know we haven't spoke in forever, but what you should do is become a better person and action speak louder than words.

Bryce😔: thank you for texting me and telling me what I should do. It means alot. You're right, I'm gonna become a better person. I owe you.

Me: No problem. I'm always a call or text away.

After I texted Bryce, I went back to editing to my YouTube videos.

*time skip, 5pm*

Those YouTube videos took forever to edit. I start cooking dinner because I was hungry. I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow because I rarely have any food. I decide to cook macaroni and cheese. That and cereal are the only thing I have. What a shame. Living alone is kind of weird. I do like my house and I like doing things in my house, it's just weird. This is going to be a long break from the twins. I guess I'm going to have to see them at the start of January 2019. I care about my friends than I care about myself and that says alot. I finally eat my macaroni and cheese and I watch the Dolan Twins video.

*time skip, 8pm*

I have been listening to music and have been in the dance studio in my house to get my mind off of everything. I took a shower and got in my bed. I went on social media until I fell asleep. Most of it was drama, so I went to sleep around 11pm.
