BELLA

I left set today in an extremely bad mood. During shooting, Mila would just be getting on everyone's nerves, even Johnny's. He obviously didn't do anything about it, because his excuse was always that she was, and I quote, 'having a bad day'. If that was the case, she always had bad days.

Johnny had gone to Mila's for the night, something he usually did, or Mila stayed over at his, so I just hung out with Naomi or Sarah most of the time after filming. I saw Courteney too, but she has been traveling a lot, so I don't see her as much as I would like too.

I entered my apartment and dropped everything on the counter. I went over to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle and looked for anything I could have for dinner. I realized I just had some leftovers, and they didn't look very appealing. I sighed and made my way over to the phone and quickly dialed Sarah Jessica's number, and after about 3 or 4 rings she picked up.

"Sarah it's Bella."

"Hey B! What's up?"

"Nothing really, I'm bored and I wanted to see if we could hang out or something."

"Johnny's out, I suppose?" She said after a few seconds of silence.

"Yeah, at Mila's." I sat down on the barstool and rested my hand in my hand.

"Don't worry sweetie. It's a bit late to go out so why don't you just come over and we'll order something." I smiled and stood up quickly.

"That would be perfect!! Let me grab my stuff and I'll be there in 10."

"I'll be waiting. Love you!!" She hung up and I rushed over to get some cash and my keys. I left the apartment and locked the door behind me. I got a cab since I really didn't want to be out walking alone at almost 11 p.m.

I arrived at Sarah's place and opened the door, knowing she would have it unlocked. At this point, we're basically sisters. We hang out at any chance we can get, and we have this huge trust. I know I can tell her everything, and so can she.

I walked in and saw Sarah sitting on the couch, looking through what looked like a phone book. She heard the door and looked up in my direction. She squealed and jumped up from the couch and gave me a huge hug. Even though she was tiny, she gave the biggest hugs which were the best. "Just in time! I was trying to decide what we should order."

"Ooh." We made our way over to the couch and skimmed through the options. "How about some Thai? We haven't had Thai in ages." 

She giggled and started dialing the number. "Glad you said that, I was feeling Thai too."

I laughed and made my way over to the film section to see what we could watch. Sarah looked at what I was doing and quickly said, "No honey, we're not watching anything until you tell me why you look pissed-" She cut herself off and I assumed the restaurant had picked up. She gave me a quick glare and motioned for me to go back to the couch. I cursed under my breath and lazily started walking back.

Sarah ordered the usual and hung up, grabbing two glasses of red wine and quickly making her way over to me. "Now I know that face. What's up?"

I slumped down even more and mumbled, "Is it that obvious?" 

She paused for a moment, studying my face, but quickly said, "Yes." I groaned and took a glass from the table and took a big gulp.

"It's Mila, I can't stand her. It's just gotten to a point where everything she says is an insult." I took a deep breath and continued, "and her insults don't even bother me, it's just- I hate that Johnny's with a person like her."
