third person

serenity drives up to the coffee shop, coincidentally the one where she met corbyn besson.
"hot coffee with caramel?" she asks, pulling into the drive thru. he nods his head, she orders and pulls up the window. serenity reaches for her purse, but only for jonah to put his wallet in her hands. "my treat." she pays and gets the drinks for the two, then drives off. "thanks."
"yeah!"

the car ride to nowhere was silent. only for the music playing on the radio, and a few conversations here and there. but nothing really major. "hey serenity where are we going?" jonah finally asks her, looking around at the scenery.

"on a hike, to get our minds off of a few things." serenity says, parking her car. for jonah living down in LA, he knows everywhere but not in the situation. "here." she grabs her coffee and gets out, so does jonah. still confused about the place. "where are we?"

"the hollywood sign. i wanted to see it, and well since c..corbyn isn't here or is, i don't know. just not in my life. i wanted to travel here." serenity states waiting for jonah, then takes his hand.

"i think you should talk to him, i know i know it's not a good idea but maybe you can tell him what happened." jonah says, looking at the hands. "but what would i say? hey i slept with your best friend to get back at you? no!! jo it's so easy for you to say! you aren't in a fucking relationship!!" serenity rages, still holding the hands.

"hey hey. i get it, you were sad. and you wanted sex, trust me been there done that. but corbyn should know the truth about us. and you should know the truth of his little sexual relationship with christina." jonah explains, trying to calm serenity done.

"should i? well my birthday is coming up on..actually tomorrow. wow twenty one." serenity says, smiling at jonah. "yeah, but serenity think about it. when you both tell each other you were in the wrong? you will see that you both love each other." jonah says, letting go of her hand.

"you are right jonah. how do you know what to say when your friends are going through really bad shit?" serenity asks."i've been a through a lot myself, i just know what to say. and for some reason i've seen corbyn in the situation he is in now. it's heartbreaking. but it's life. it's his life." jonah states. "yeah, it's our life. maybe we can both explain and it will be good. maybe we can both forgive and forget." the two look at each other and laugh. yes it was a mistake.

"well let's go!!! the sun is not going to be shining all day joe!!" she takes his hand and runs up the hill, which takes most of energy. they reach the top, and let out a long exhale. "well here we are the hollywood sign!!" jonah says, throwing his hands up in excitement.

"just wow. look there is the why don't we house!" serenity points in a obvious direction, the correct way to travel to the house. without getting lost. "umm that's the way to your apartment." or so she thought.

"this is so beautiful." serenity goes towards the edge of the H in hollywood, and sits down.
jonah does the same, taking in the view. california is truly breathtaking.  "yes it. hey renny what are you doing for your birthday?" jonah asks, smirking at her. "um no, i don't. i think just help noah with our project." serenity tells him, shrugging.

"ok thanks."

"why did you have something planned? or am i not supposed not to know?" serenity gives him a friendly nudge, giggling. "nope, just asking. since it the big twenty one, i thought you would be like, i wanna get drunkkkk." jonah says, snapping his fingers. "no. i just want to stay home probably pop a bottle of champagne who knows?"
jonah laughs.

"hey look, someone is waving!!" serenity points down at the city below them, seeing the little dots. "serenity i think they are just walking." she nods her head, peering over the sign. "be carful, i don't want to take you to the hospital next." jonah says, sticking out his tongue. "watch me marais."

the two have been at the hollywood sign for some time now, and had some good, deep conversations about their lives. they figured that it was best if they remained friends. "can...can we go back to the why don't we house? i want to talk to corbyn." serenity asks, getting up from her spot.

"sure let's do it." the two pack into serenity's car, and head towards the why don't we house. "do you know what you are going to say to him?" jonah asks, looking at a very focused serenity. "yeah...i love you. and hopefully he can forgive me. because i don't know, we will see."

"you still love him serenity?" jonah asks, biting his cheek. "yeah! just because we took a break doesn't mean i fell out of love. i only had sex with you because i was sad. i wanted to get back at him." she states, pulling into the driveway. "oh."

"look there he is." she points up to his bedroom window to see corbyn dancing around. "well let's go then." serenity and jonah leave the car and go inside the house. she runs upstairs and knocks on his door. he answer almost instantly. "hey renny."
"hey corbs."

"come in."

"so i wanted to start saying i'm sorry. like really sorry, i slept with jonah." corbyn makes a shocked face, confused. "but only to get back at you. because i was sad. that's the reason. i am really sorry, and it was dick move of me." she says, sitting down on his bed.

"well we both have something to be sorry about. i have to admit yes christina and i had sex. no i did not like it. yes basically she kidnapped me." corbyn tells her, sitting next to her.

"but i realized what she was hiding."
