"If it's insanity, brand me infatuated." Leah Greene doesn't think much about the trip to California with her best friend until a hotel room mixup with the Arctic Monkeys and hollywood drama chasing her tail for it. Alex doesn't think much about the next few gigs in California after his recent breakup with Arielle. But after a rather awkward meeting between him and a fan, things are going to be changed between him and the band forever. [THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL. THIS IS A BETTER VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL.] IMPORTANT NOTE I left Wattpad years ago because suddenly I had a lot more pressure from school, and looked back on this story. I cringed so fucking much, but it brought back so many memories so I wanted to completely fix it. It won't get as many reads as the original but I wanted to put this out here anyways. Better version complete with: - NEW scenes - Foreshadowing - Realistic pacing - Grammar! - Better dialogue - Imagery - A standard (past) tense - Cut filler scenes - American spelling since Leah is American (even though I'm not) - Edited storyline - No confusing POV's - Fixed plot holes - Prior research - Actual common sense Thanks for all the support!

She's a reluctant finance major in her second year of college. She's a determined wanna-be writer in her free time. And she's a loving dog mom to her eleven year old German Shepard.
