Yes I'm back w/ a new story... Anyway thanks for 40k on "meeting through Magcon" that I deleted:(

Emily's Pov:
"Sarah, come on!" I yelled.
My best friend Sarah and I are moving to Los Angeles for the summer. I'm from New York. Me and Sarah are going to stay with my dad for the summer there. I'm excited but at the same time I'm not. My brother lives with him. I haven't spoken with him since he decided to go with my dad and left me and my mom. I've seen my dad but not my brother. I'm only going really because my dad works for a record label and he knows I like to sing. He wants to sign me. But I am way to insecure. So I'm gonna bomb it and enjoy my summer in the golden state with Sarah.

"I'm coming!" She screamed from the top of her stairs. She said goodbye to her parents and got in my moms car.

"Mom, I think we need to stop home. I forgot my notebook." I said. I write a lot. I'm one of those weird kids that does that. Sarah laughed at me and my mom rolled her eyes.

"Emily, you need to use your head more." She said. I just shrugged it off. When we got back to my house, I unlocked the door and ran in to get it. When I walked down the stairs I saw my mom and Sarah sitting in the living room.

"Someone's on the porch waiting for you." My mom said. "Hurry though we are gonna miss the flight." She said. I knew who it was judging by the smirk on Sarah's face.

"Joe." I said walking over to him.

"You never told me, that you were leaving for the summer, or bothered to say goodbye." He said.

"I-I didn't know how to." I said looking down at my feet. Joe is one of my good friends. There's a bit of romantic tension between us but we aren't together and I can't really picture us being together.

"Anything would have been better than nothing." He said. I said nothing. He groaned. "Listen I should go, I'm obviously not important to you." He said.

"No wait." I said grabbing his wrist as he started to walk away. He then turned to me and his eyes gazed into mine. He began to lean in to kiss me and I was about to kiss him but right before our lips met, I stepped back. "I'm really sorry Joe but I have to go." I said. I hugged him and he didn't really hug back. He kinda just stood there shocked.
"Bye Joe." I said entering my house again. I think I heard him mutter "bye beautiful."

"Mom, I'm ready." I said. She grabbed her purse and waited for me and Sarah to walk out the front door.

"So tell me what happened." She said.

"Well um, we almost kissed." I said.

"Shut up." She said shocked but at the same time not surprised at all. I laughed and got into my moms car. This should be a good summer.

When our flight was about to land, all of the possibilities of what could go wrong with me being here swarmed my head. I sighed and my anxiety started to eat me alive. I think Sarah knew what was happening, so she handed me my notebook. The book I went back to my house for and forgot there again. ugh. Thank God for Sarah. I'm really glad she's coming with me.

"THANK YOU." I said.

I flipped through some pages of it reading only my favorites and I closed my eyes hoping to fall back asleep for the last 10 minutes or so.

~
When we got off the plane, we began to look for my dad but I didn't see him. We sat down and I began to call him. no answer. Ugh. Sarah and I then decided maybe he went to the wrong exit. I walked into some guy. Clumsy me.
"I'm so sorry." I said I dropped my notebook and he bent down to pick it up for me.

"I believe this belongs to you." He said. It was Nash Grier. Nash Grier.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"What's your name?" He asked me.

"Emily." I said.

"I'm Nash."

"Grier right?" I asked even though I knew who he was. He nodded.

"I like your vines. You're really funny." I said. He smiled.

"Thanks." He replied.

"This is my friend Sarah." I said.

"Hey." She said.

"Hi." He said. "So do you live around here?" He asked. "Although I'm guessing not judging on your amount of luggage." He said laughing. We both laughed.

"No, we're staying with my dad for the summer." I said. "Do you live around here?" I asked him.

"Yea, I was just visiting home and now I'm waiting for my buddy Cam to pick me up." He said.

"Cameron Dallas?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah." He said.

"I think that's him coming here now then." She laughed.

"Hey man." Cam said bro hugging him.

"Hey." He said. "This is Emily and Sarah." Nash introduced us.

"Hi." We both said in unison.

"Hey." He smiled. "Listen Man, we gotta get going if we wanna make that meeting." Cam said to Nash.

"Alright- alright." He said. "Well it was nice meeting you." He said. "Bye." He smiled at me.

"Bye." We said.

Once they were gone, I turned to Sarah.

"Nash so likes you." She said.

"I'll probably never see him again.Isn't he like filming a movie? Why would he even like me when he is so famous?." I said.

"You're gonna be famous too." She said.

"Come on Sar. You know the real plan. Now let's go find my dad." I said.

After about 5 more minutes, we found my dad.

"Em!" He yelled and he pulled me into a hug. "I missed you." He said.

"I missed you too." I said. He hugged Sarah, having known her from many years ago.

~

He lived in an apartment building but his apartment was like a "mini penthouse". There were only a few like this in the building.

When we walked in with our luggage, his girlfriend who id never even known of showed us to our rooms. I put my stuff down and sat on my bed. A tall thin, muscular brunette boy stood in the doorway. "Josh." I said and we met each other halfway across the room hugging each other. "I never thought I'd see you again." I said.

"I'm sorry." He paused. "So- sorry. I never should've left with dad. I-I think about you and mom everyday." He said. "I never even got to be a big brother to you." He said. All of this was coming at me so fast.

"It's okay." I said. "Family lasts forever." I said.

He smiled hugging me tightly again. "So my baby sister is 17." He said. He's 20. So he's three years older than me. I nodded smiling. "Dad tells me your gonna work on some music out here." He said.

"Yea. I don't know how that'll go." I said.

"You remember Sarah right." I said. He nodded. "She's here, she's in the next room." I said.

I got up and he followed me to go see her. We all chatted and caught up.

6pm

Josh was taking me and Sarah to the pizza place next to the apartment building, and was gonna show us around LA.

When we got to the lobby of the building. I banged into someone again. Ugh I'm so annoying.
