4. dating rumours

*jeff pov*

i was sat outside the philz that aly had told me to meet her at. i looked up from my phone and saw her, so i stood to greet her. i was hesitant to hug her but she pulled me in, which i was surprised at. i ran a hand through my hair.
"what drink do you want, i'll go order?" i asked.
"erm iced almond milk latte please." she responded.
we walked in together, ordered, and paid. we took the drinks and sat back outside. it was silent for a bit before i spoke.
"so, LA? i thought you wanted to stay in miami?"
"oh erm. well basically i don't know if you knew, you might have from the vlogs, but i got arrested 3 times over there. i figured after the 3rd arrest it was time to clean my act up. i was gonna move back to staten island but decided against it so i moved to LA. met some cool people over the past couple years. i dayed someone for a year, i even got a dog, his name is nerf. what are you doing in LA then?"
"well daisy and i moved to la sometime last year, then jess - you remember jess as well right? she's back in ny at the moment though. anyway she moved over a couple months after us. we got given some modelling opportunities here."
i nodded in response. suddenly a girl came over.

*alyssa pov*

"hi jeff, i'm really sorry to disturb your date but can i take a picture with you please?" she asked him, eyeing me then looking back at him. he smiled up at her and nodded.
"sure, lis can you take the pic?" i smiled and took the phone from the girl. jeff used to call me lis because he wanted something different from everyone else. my general nickname was aly but i liked that he called me something different. i took a couple pics of them then handed the phone back. jeff spoke to the girl for a couple minutes. thoughts were flying through my head about him. sure, i had forgiven him but only so i could allow myself to try and move on. i was still upset with him because of his actions. but i missed him so much. as both a best friend and a lover. when he said he dated someone, i could feel my heart heavy. it was hurting my head - why couldn't i just decide on one feeling?
"alyssa?" jeff snapped me out of my thought. he was sat back in the chair and the girl was long gone. i saw some girls opposite the road sneaking pictures of us.
"yeah i'm fine, sorry. there's people taking pictures of us, so i think we should go." jeff turned his head and saw the girls.
"sure, my apartment isn't too far from here. you can come and meet nerf." we both got up and started walking.
"i feel like there's going to be a rumour of you dating me." i stated, sipping on my drink.
"is that such a bad thing?" he questioned, then realised what he had said. "i- i'm sorry lis, i don't know why i said that."
i smiled sadly at him.

i wanted to kick myself. why did i say that? i looked at aly and she was smiling sadly at me. she then started telling me a story about some paps getting wrong info of her last year. i focused on her face whilst occasionally checking where i was walking. i missed her face, her bubbly personality, everything. she honestly was one of the best things that happened to me, from when we met in 5th grade until she left me for being a dickhead to her. she was acting like she was still my friend but i also felt like deep down she hated me. i noticed we had gotten to my apartment, so i took my keys out and opened up the building.
"jeff we live in the same complex." aly said.
"wait really? where's your apartment?"
"4d, yours?"
"7a. that's so weird oh god"
we took the elevator up and i opened my door.
"welcome to the wittek household." i smiled at her. nerf came running up to me instantly then barked at alyssa. i bent down to pick him up and introduced them. "hey nerf! this is alyssa. be nice." i asked if aly wanted to hold him and she nodded, taking him from me. i brought her towards the living area where my barber shop stuff was still scattered. i quickly grabbed stuff and moved it so it was less of a mess, apologising to her for it.
"so you went forwards with your barber shop idea then?" she asked, looking around at my set up.
"yeah, i do a show on my youtube called 'Jeff's BarberShop' where different people come to get a haircut and we just talk about different things." i told her. i figured she wouldn't have watched my videos but i thought she might have seen it through david's ones. i sat next to her on the sofa where she was holding nerf in her arms, and she was rocking him slightly and playing with him. i smiled at the site. i decided there and then that i wanted at least my best friend back.
