Golden Girl

8. Old Friends

"You are such a fucking liar!" Logan shouts.

"Why can't you believe me just this once! it wasn't me! She was my best friend I promise I didn't do anything!"

"I want to believe you, I really do, but there is evidence as proof. I can't argue with that."

"Are you being serious? Are you really telling me you can't believe me based on faith? I am your girlfriend for God's sake. Please tell me that you believe me, do something to make me feel loved, because honestly, that is exactly what I need right now. Please." Hot tears burn their way down my face as the words come out of my mouth.

"I-I'm sorry but I can't do that," Logan says. I wipe my tears and gather my things, walking out with heavy steps, slamming the door behind me.

"Cut!" The director yells across the room.

"Take five everyone we got that all in one take today is our last day of filming let's keep it up!"

I walk to my chair behind the setup of microphones and cameras and pull a water bottle and trail mix out of my bag. I sit down and wait as Lucy heads towards me.

"I can't wait until movie premieres this will actually be a big hit," Lucy squeals.

"Girl I haven't had a big hit in two years you have Pretty Little Liars."

"I suppose you are right... Well anyway we should go to dinner tonight to celebrate with the cast," she suggests.

"I don't know... Maybe we could go to a club afterwards."

"Oh yes! Perfect! I'll make reservations for private club and restaurant. God I need a good hangover," she says cheerfully walking away. I laugh quietly to myself before I take a drink of water and head back to the set for the new scene to begin.

"Sienna! Will you come zip this dress up for me? I can't reach the damn zipper!" Instead of Sienna, Dylan comes into the room.

"Um, Logan and Sienna are taking a shower so..."

"They better not be in the same one," I joke.

"Okay... so would you like for me to zip that up for you?"

"Yes please."

I push my wavy blonde hair to one side as Dylan steps closer and slowly pulls up the zipper.

"Thanks," I say.

"Anytime," he replies before walking away. I sit on the bed waiting for Sienna, when I hear the doorbell ring. I wait for Dylan to open the door, but of course being him, he doesn't do that, so I have to get up and see who it is and what they want.

I open the door and start to say something but then I realize, "Andrey! Is that you? Oh my God you have grown so much since I last saw you! You look just like your brother!"

"Well it was ten years ago when we last saw each other."

"Come in! Where's your sister how is she?"

"She's parking the car she'll be right up."

"Hey Dylan! This is one of my child hood friends Andrey."

"Hey. Have I seen you somewhere?" Dylan asks.

"Oh yes! He's a very popular YouTuber with his sister."

"Oh now I recognize you! Dude you have awesome videos!"

"Thanks! Weren't you the guy in The Mazerunner? I almost threw up because I ate so much popcorn in the theater when I watched it!"

That is the start of an interesting conversation, I leave them at it to go see his older sister Yuliya who is exactly my age and four years older than Andrey.

"Oh my gosh I haven't seen you in such a long time! What are you guys doing here?" I say, as I lead her into the kitchen.

"Wow this is a nice place you have," she remarked taking a look around and admiring the golden yellow wall paint in the second living room with a chandelier hovering above the couch area.

"Perks of being a movie star. You know?"

"Well you seem to be at a high point. But I have come to attend your movie premiere and after party. Some Lucy girl invited me here and I had some time on my hands so why not see your best friend you spent your adolescent years with."

"Oh that's great! Our movie premiere is tomorrow. How long are you in town for?"

"Three days."

"Okay great! Stay in our guest rooms. Andrey can take Noah's old room and you take the other guest," I suggest.

"Oh I remember Noah how is he?"

"Good he moved to New York a while ago so we haven't had a lot of chances to catch up," I say nonchalantly. Noah by the way, is my currently 26 year old brother who is three years older than me. We used to be really close but one day we got in a really huge fight about something I don't talk about and he moved away without saying a word. I missed him a lot and I still do but I have a life that I need to live and I can't spend it dwelling on the past.

"What about Kayla?"

"Oh she is great she's in South Carolina right now with her fiancé on vacation," I answer.

"Great!"

With that she went to the next room to settle in. I walked into the first living room and saw Sienna sitting in Dylan's lap while Andrey and Logan stand across from them, all formally dressed. Yuliya came ready looking very formal.

"Is everyone ready?" I ask enthusiastically

"Yup! I would like to drive," Logan states.

"Let's go!" Andrey says already in the hall.

When we arrive outside in front of the spacious building, we see a light blue Convertible parked and waiting to contain us and let someone drive us to our destination. Of course we won't be driving it back because none of us will be sober by the end of the night. After we manage to fit six people in a five seated car, we find ourselves on a highway letting in wind while playing music at a very high volume. The wind caresses my cheeks and playfully tugs at my hair.

As soon as we arrive at the club we all run to the bar. Slowly the room fills with more people who we invited. don't think I haven't forgotten about the restaurant, I just want to get straight to the booze. Don't judge me. As the music gets louder and the alcohol kicks in I carry my body to the dance floor and let everything else fade away there's nobody else that matters just me myself and I.
