L.A. For You

Chapter 13: Apologies

Anna's POV: It is January 10th, it's 9am. I get up and put my Taylor Swift reputation hoodie on and go downstairs. Bryce is already up and the twins are gone. I looked at Bryce confused. 

"They had to go to meetings. They left a note on the counter, that's how I know", he said. 

"Oh ok, well do you wanna hang out today. We got a lot to catch up on", I said. 

Bryce and I used to be friends in 2017, however, we lost touch. Now, we are here talking again, and it feels good. There's something I've been keeping a secret, and I need to let it out. No, I don't like Bryce, bf/gf wise, we are just friends. 

"Yeah, we can talk", he said. 

"I graduated college as a psychology major. Also, I've been keeping a secret all this time", I said. He looks at me with a shocked look. You know I can't really describe it. 

"I used to manage big artist names on tour", I said. 

"Wait, since when", he said shocked as ever. 

"Since 2016. I did most of my college online and some of it I did in person. I managed Fifth Harmony mostly, 5 Seconds Of Summer for a little bit, and Taylor Swift. I was like a fill-in. So, I did the job until they found somebody else to do it. I was pretty good at it", I said.

"Wow, that's cool. You never told anybody? Are you gonna keep doing it", he asked me. 

"Yeah, I never really told people or my fans, because I didn't want people to use me for clout, you know. And I'll do it if I have an offer", I said. 

"Hey, if you do get another offer, take it. Don't let anyone hold you back", he said. 

"Haha Bryce, thanks I will. Oh and don't tell the twins", I said trusting Bryce not to tell them.

"I literally won't", he said.

*time skip, 1pm*

I'm making lunch with One Direction music playing in the background. As I was making lunch, the twins came in. I ignored them. They went into the living room where Bryce was. 

Grayson's POV: She ignored us when we came in. She still might be mad at me for last night, I'm mad at myself for it. Maybe, I should talk to Bryce. 

"Hey Bryce, is Anna mad at me", I asked.

"She's upset about it, give her time. Don't be jealous of me, we are just friends", he said. I nod my head and say ok. Anna comes into the room with her lunch. 

"Where's mine", Bryce asked.

"Bryce, make your own stupid", she said jokingly. Ethan and I started laughing. 

"Ugh ok fine", Bryce said leaving the room. Ethan left the room too. I decided to talk to her.

"I'm sorry Anna. I shouldn't have gotten jealous of Bryce. I should have listened to you better instead if getting mad", I said really sad. 

"Gray, it's okay. Yeah, I'm mad about it, but really it's ok", she said. As soon as she said that, Bryce and Ethan came back into the room. 

Anna's POV: I forgave Grayson. I could not forgive myself if I didn't forgive him. 

*time skip, 3pm*

We have all been talking for the past 2 hours. I really want to take a nap. I put Shark Tank on the T.V. because why not. I knew that Bryce liked that show too. I was sitting on the couch and next thing you know I fall asleep on Grayson. Great. 

*time skip, 8pm*

Grayson and I just woke up. We both say sorry and we just laugh about it. How did we sleep for so long? Anyway, the twins are leaving my house tonight. I don't want them to leave. 

"Do you guys have to leave", I asked. 

"Yeah", they both say. Twin telepathy, things never change. I smile. 

I hug both of them and tell them bye. However, mine and Grayson's hug felt different. I don't know. As soon as they left, Bryce blurts out. 

"You like him", Bryce shouts. 

"Bryce Hall, there's no need to be loud, but yes", I said.

"Why you keep pushing him away", he asked.

"Just scared to be in another relationship. Their fans would give me so much hate for coming into contact with Grayson", I said. 

"I'm sorry. It's like right person, wrong timing", he said. He's right. 

"Yeah exactly", I said. 

*time skip, 11pm*

Not even tired due to Gray and I sleeping on the couch for so long. Bryce, being the party animal he is, he's always full of energy. In the middle of my thoughts, Gray texted me. 

Gray: hey are you okay 

Me: yeah. still trying to figure out why we slept on the couch for so long

Gray: I don't know. That hug felt different...

Me: Yeah it did...

Gray: we go to New Jersey soon

Me: Have a great time. I'm going to miss you a lot. 

Gray: I will miss you too. I have to go bye. 

I read it, and put my phone on charge in my bedroom. I got ready to go to sleep. As I get in my bed, I fall asleep with my thoughts racing.
