three days later...
another night where i was awake later than i should have been, just thinking, not being able to sleep. staring at my ceiling all night.
graysons words hadnt left my thoughts since he said them. i dont know how he knew or if he even does. whats scaring me is what is he gonna do?
my phone pinged, tearing me from my thoughts. I turned to look-
7 new followers on instagram
I sighed, knowing the followers were coming from the famous video of me going round- grayson tearing me to shreds at jaylas party.
the time hit 3:05 am
I got out of bed and searched for my cigarettes. I opened the glass slide doors to sit on my small balcony. the air was still- not too cold.
I sat on a chair and lit a cigarette, dragging it and roaming the dark streets of LA from my small apartment.
'I know what you did before you came here'
I cant get it out my head. I don't think I will be able to any time soon.
I took another drag of my cigarette and unlocked my phone opening up contacts.
I need to get this off my mind, I press jaylas contact and call her. soon enough she picked up.
"hey kylie... you okay?" she sounded a little worried.
I contemplated on hanging up but I really needed this.
"I have a question..." I pondered waiting for her to reply.
"ofcourse, yeah ask away" she reassured.
"you ever smoked weed?"

I jumped onto my bed and set down the tray. "you see that drawer over there?" I pointed to the corner of the room- "I have a box in there, can u grab it?"
she walked over and grabbed it, then jumping onto the bed next to me. she had a grin on her face ear to ear. "its been too long" she joked.
I laughed at her and opened the box revealing a grinder and the good stuff. I had already grinded it up ready so I grabbed it and set it on the tray. "backwood?" I asked, wondering her preference. she shrugged-
"as long as I cant feel my toes" we both erupted into laughter. I began feeling happy about meeting Jayla, shes funny and has good style.

the room filled up with smoke after she released the long drag she took, passing me the backwood I took another drag.
my eyes were drooping and I tried to remember what I was trying to say as Jayla started to get high. we both went into laughing fits trying to talk to each other. it felt like we were the only people on earth right then.
"you know what?" she began " you are so much more cooler than I thought man" she dragged out, I tried processing what she was saying and made an effort to reply-
"cool? nah that's all you" I was serious until she started laughing. we rambled for a while before realising the sun had risen.
Jayla had fallen asleep at sunrise but I was still awake.
9:45 am
i opened my phone and texted ethan-
good morning :)
i got out of bed and headed to the kitchen, not bothering to wake up Jayla. i looked for some food but soon found out we had nothing left.
i decided to get some food, staying in the same sweats from last night and same messy bun. i opened my phone camera and tried to wipe away the mascara from under my eyes, i still looked high.
i left the apartment locking the door behind me, i messaged Jayla letting her know i was getting food incase she wakes up.
on my way to the elevator i can hear what sounds like arguing coming from a few doors down- its almost sounds like ethan.
i walk towards the noise and sure enough, ethans apartment. i put my ear to the door, i can hear two voices. ethans and.. another female?
i pulled away and lightly knocked on the door, suddenly the apartment went silent. he opened the door "oh.. hey kylie" he seemed surprised.
"hey.. you doing okay?" i asked, clearly suggesting the arguing. he nodded looking flustered-
"im okay" he started then began "look- can we talk another time, theres something i need to do" he asked befofe he was interrupted by the same female voice.
"no, its okay. i was just leaving" she says in a cocky manner before she appears around the corner. the same girl i saw him with the second day i got here.
shit i forgot he had a girlfriend... she walked past "see you later"
ethan looked at the ground, i wasn't impressed. "so.. care to explain?" i asked him.
confusion struck his face, so i took it upon myself to enlighten him. "so youre kissing me whilst you have a girlfriend?"
he shook his head "no.. not at all." i looked at him with a blank expression,
"do you think im stupid?" i began getting angry, im not too sure why- it was only a kiss.
now he looked very worried "no i don't, shes my best friend- im not like that i swear!" he panicked.
"why would i believe that?" i questioned however he was quick to answer-
"if she was my girlfriend, why would she leave knowing another girl was knocking at my door?" his eyebrow cocked upward. i thought for a moment.
"okay... you better be telling me the truth." i tried to threaten. i leaned my head against the door in exhaustion, still feeling high. "ive gotta get some food"
he looked at me funnily then he clicked "theres no way youre high at this time" i looked up to him and smiled weakly.
he laughed at me "oh my gosh what a loser kylie!" i laughed at him-
"im not! youre just made u aint got balls to be smoking this early" he pulled that same contagious smile making me grin ear to ear.
his hands motioned for me to come in so i followed him "come on, ill make you something"
"thank youu" i dragged out, feeling hungrier by the second. my eyes gazed at his body. he wore only a pair of grey joggers and bed hair.
he turned toward me and the front just gets better, from his abs to his defined v-line. wow. before i knew it he snapped his fingers in front of me catching my attention.
"like what you see?" i could tell he was being playful but i still felt bad-
"i- im sorry" my words left a stutter, he made me nervous. laughter left his plump lips and he reassured me.
"youre adorable kylie"
butterflies swarmed my stomach and i couldn't help the blood rushing to my cheeks. my eyes met his and we stayed like this for a while, staring into each others eyes.
until suddenly, he leaned in... and his plump lips met mine again, creating an all too magical feeling.
