L.A. For You

Chapter 12: Late Night & Drama

Anna's POV: I've been rolling around trying to sleep. I look at my phone, it's January 9th at 3am. I get up and go downstairs. I see Grayson. Ugh

"Hey", Grayson said.

"How do you know the right person is for you, but don't want to lose the friendship", I asked him.

"Um I guess try it out, and if it doesn't work, it'll be okay", he said.

"What if getting tons of hate for being with someone destroys everything", I asked.

"Well it was worth a shot", he said. She starts laughing.

"No, Gray. Like breaking up would ruin the friendship", I said.

"Ok well I don't know then", he said.

"Goodnight Gray", I said heading upstairs to my bedroom.

*time skip, 9am*

Why did Bryce wake me up? I hate you, Bryce. I get on Twitter to clear things up. @heyitsanna: my tweet last night wasn't about anyone, just my friends. The emoji was something that suited the tweet best. For anyone asking, I'm not dating anyone. I get up to go to the kitchen and I'm greeted by Bryce being loud. Typical.

"You're on Tik-Tok room", Bryce said loudly.

"Thanks, Bryce. I know", I said.

"Why are we yelling", Ethan asked.

"I'm on Tik-Tok room, a drama Instagram account", I said.

"You? on a drama account", Ethan said confusingly.

"It was one tweet, people blew it out of proportion. But I never mentioned you, Gray, or Bryce. I only wanted to respect the friendship we have", I said.

"Thanks that means a lot", Gray said scaring me.

"How long have you been there", I asked.

"The whole time. Thanks for not putting us as your friends on social media. I respect that a lot", Gray said.

"I like you guys. I'm just scared of the hate from your fans. The only person I'm comfortable posting is Bryce for right now", I said.

"Aww thanks", Bryce said hugging me.

"You're welcome", I said letting go.

*time skip 1pm*

All of us went to eat our for lunch. Bryce insisted he'd pay. Anyway, after an hour of eating and talking, we went back to my house.

"Bryce, you didn't have to pay", I said.

"Yeah of course, I still owe you", Bryce said.

"You kind of don't now", I said.

"Yeah I do", Bryce said.

"Ok I guess whatever you want to do", I said.

*time skip, 5pm*

We haven't really been doing much besides watching tv shows and be on social media. I decided to reorganize my music room. The first time I did the room, everything was not in the right place.

"Need help", Grayson asked me.

"No I'm good thanks", I said as he left.

*time skip, 7pm*

No where near done, but Gray wanted me to go to dinner with him. Not going to lie, I'm nervous. We finally get to the restaurant after 45 minutes.

"Gray, what's going on", I said.

"I don't know how to say it", he said.

"Say it", I said.

"I like you a lot still", he said.

"I like you too, but I just can't do a relationship after my last one right now. Not to mention, you can do a lot better than me. I don't want to break the friendship we have", I said.

"What's with Bryce", he said out of jealousy.

"He's like a brother to me", I said.

"Why does he owe you", he said still jealous. I can tell.

"I helped him with something he was dealing with", I said.

"Sorry", he said still jealous.

"It's not me rejecting you, because I'm not. I genuinely want to be friends with you and Ethan. If we broke up, it could damage the friendship forever", I said.

"It makes sense. I'm sorry for sounding jealous", he said.

"Look gray it's okay", I said.

*time skip, 9pm*

I went into the house first, Grayson slams my door.

"Don't slam my door", I said. He completely ignored me.

Bryce's POV: I saw Anna come in the door, and Grayson slams her front door. She said don't slam my door and he ignored her. He started an argument with Ethan and Anna went upstairs. Yeah, I'm staying out of this as I go back to my phone.

Grayson's POV: Yeah, I started an argument with Ethan.

"Ethan, I told her and she let me down again", I said.

"What did she say", Ethan asked.

"Just friends", I said madly.

"Listen Gray, she's trying to move on, take it easy on her", Ethan said.

"Whatever", I said.

Bryce's POV: After the twins argument, I went upstairs to check up on Anna to make sure she's okay. I knocked on her door, she tells me to come in.

"Hey Bryce", she said clearly upset.

"Are you okay", I asked.

"No Bryce. He was jealous of you", she said. I'm shocked.

"Why me", I asked.

"I don't know. I told him you were a brother to me", she said.

"He shouldn't be jealous of me", I said.

"Goodnight Bryce, I'm just gonna stay up here", she said.

"Goodnight Anna", I said as I'm walking out of her room.

Anna's POV: After Bryce talked to me, I watched YouTube videos until I fell asleep around 12am.
