dixie's pov

i pulled up at the cafe and saw addison standing there, she looked like she's about to cry, something really bad must've happened.
i got out of the car and she saw me immediately, running over to me. she almost knocked me over with how hard she hugged me.
"gosh addi you're gonna suffocate me," i hugged her back knowing she really needs a hug right now. "what happened?"

"he cheated on me! that's why he was late!" she began to let it all out, crying into my shoulder.
"that fucking asshole, he's gonna pay," anger flowed through my veins.
"i'm just so glad that i'm done with him though," addison calmed down a bit.
"i'm glad you're done with him too, i never liked him. we should go back home."
"yes can we please."

we arrived back at the hype house, addison was sniffling and teary the whole ride home, she told me word for word what they both said, making me hate bryce even more than i already did.

she plonked herself down on our bed with a loud sigh, laying there just staring at the ceiling.
"well hey, on the bright side now you're single, you can do whatever you want," i lay down next to her, also staring at the ceiling.
"that's true, i'm not really interested in anyone though anyway," she replied.

in a way hearing that made me feel relieved, but i don't know why. i suppose she literally just got out of a relationship.

addison shuffled closer to me and lay her head on my chest, wrapping an arm around my waist and tangling her legs with mine. i put an arm around her shoulders and one behind my head.

"thank you dixie."
"for what?"
"being the best friend i could ever ask for."
"oh shush." i grinned.
"i mean it." she chuckled.
"i'm just straight out chilling though."
"you've helped with all the bryce shit a lot already, picking me up and giving me good advice and all."
"it's fine, really." i leant my head forward to give her a kiss on the top of her head.
"what do you wanna do?" i asked.
"i just wanna lay here with you dix. that's all."
"i'm cool with that," i cuddled her closer.

addison's pov
i was half asleep laying with dixie still, i think i just woke up, who knows how long it's been.
i got up carefully to not wake up dixie and headed to the kitchen for some food, my phone said it was 7pm already, i guess we slept through dinner. i was going down the stairs and i heard chatter from the kitchen. i peaked through and saw avani and charli talking, very closely. they were leaning over the counter on opposite sides mumbling things to each other and laughing, their faces were so close together.

i shrugged it off and headed into the kitchen.
"oh hey addi," charli immediately leant back when she saw me, her face flushing a light pink.

"hey, what are you two up to?" i asked with a small smirk since they were both blushing.
"um, nothing, we were gonna get food," avani stuttered.
"i see," i grabbed a random snack.
"oh, we forgot to tell you but there's a party tonight at 8," charli said.
"where?" i asked.
"here," avani pointed down to signal our house.
"here! it's already 7 why did no one tell me!" i was stressed now.

"you were sleeping, and you and dixie were all over each other what's happening there hmmmm," charli teased me.
"i broke up with bryce..." i stared down.
"oh... i'm sorry," they both came over and hugged me.
"it's fine, he cheated and i was losing feelings anyway," i replied.
"what an asshole, good thing he's not coming to the party, he's probably too busy with his new girlfriend," avani rolled her eyes at the thought of bryce with some random girl.
"oh well, it is what it is, i feel like i'll be happier being single anyway," i forced a smile.
"yeah now you can just do whatever you want i guess," charli replied.

"well what's up with you guys' love life?" i asked.
"well i'm still with the lovely anthony," avani smiled and tilted her head to the side.
"what's going on with you and chase?" i raised my eyebrows at charli.
"welllll, i don't know we're just friends, to be honest i don't really like him that way, he's just one of my best friends that's all," she replied.
"yeah it's probably better having more friends than 1 month boyfriends," i laughed.
"exactly!" she replied.

"well i need to get ready for the party," i headed back to dixie and i's room with a bag of chips.
"what's goin on?" dixie was up.
"did you just wake up dix?" i chuckled at how cute she looked barely just awake.
wait what, cute?! well she is but, why am i thinking that, i guess she's just cute, in a friend way y'know?
"yep," she rubbed her eyes with a grin.
"they're having a party here and it starts in an hour we need to get ready now dix," i ate a handful of chips.
she snatched the bag from my hands with wide eyes, "well stop fucking eating chips then let's get ready!"
"lets!"
