what love will last

"we can do this"

the next day you left pretty early so you didn't see Chris. it had been a few weeks since you last saw and spoke to Chris at his house when you slept over. you, Matt, Nick, Dev and Chris had all dropped out to do your social media fully. you obviously had you advantage since you were kinda classed as a "celeb" and your parents were "famous' business owners. you, Matt and Nick had been looking for places to stay in LA for a couple weeks for a little break from social media since you'd all been really busy and working really hard with it.

10:30pm

You were out a drive yourself going to 711 to get some snacks and a slush. lately your social battery had been dead so you liked being alone. you were just driving listening to some sad music because lately you'd been feeling a little depressed lately and a little bit lost.

you parked your car and went into the store to get some snacks and a slush. you grabbed some cheetos, takis and some candy, payed them left. as you were walking out of the store you were looking at your phone so you walked into someone and dropped your phone, you bent down to pick it up and as you went to pick it up you met hands with someone, as you looked up you made eye contact with Chris
Gabriella: oh... sorry-
Chris: it's okay
....
you stand back up and go to walk away quickly
Chris: Gabriella please wait and let me talk to you
you wanted to just run away from it but you didn't at the same time so you took a deep breathe and agreed. you went to your car and waited on Chris. a few minutes later he ran out and got into the passenger seat.
Chris: hi
you: hey
...
you: did you walk here ?
Chris: yeah just needed to clear my head... been feeling a little... it doesn't matter-
you: no it does matter.
Chris: i've been feeling a little depressed lately idk just down i can't expose it but i don't wanna talk about that i want to talk to you
you: so talk...
Chris: well first off thank you for letting me talk to you and i know you've heard what happened but i want to apologise for letting that happen and i want to apologise to you for how i spoke to you the other week, it's just... Gabriella i really do miss you and i can't deal with this anymore i didn't do anything unloyal to you willingly and i never would i just i-
you: i believe you
you said in a low voice
Chris: WHAT ?
you: i believe you Chris
Chris: really !!
he seemed so relieved
you: yeah... but i can't get hurt again and that just pushed me way back idk how to explain...
Chris: Gabriella please let's give us a shot again because we both know i would never do that to you and i-
you: i get it Chris but i need some time... let's just try this friends thing for now
Chris: we aren't just "friends" tho but i'd rather be your friend than nothing i guess... but i know we can do this and so do you deep down even if you don't wanna admit it rn
you: maybe.. but let's just be friends and get a little bond back
Chris grabs you and hugs you so tightly, you just rested your head on his shoulder while you guys hugged. you missed him so much and it felt so good to have him back again. this is what you needed, you thought you both did.
you: do you want a ride home ?
Chris: yeah please
you: sure
the music started playing again when you turned the car back on
Chris: depressed central ?
you: yuh
Chris: missed me ?
you: i guess you could say that
Chris: i've missed you like a lot a lot
you: as you should.
Chris: uhhh stfu
you guys laughed and just spoke the full car ride to his house.
Chris: i just gotta ask
you: go on..
Chris: Jaden Smith ?
you: OMG
Chris: it was all over everywhere bro
you: yeah Chris A DAY after me and you finished whatever tf that was i went to some guys house
Chris: just making sure
you: our parents are like bestfriend  i've known him forever

you pulled up to his house
Chris: well i'm glad we're fine now, thanks for the ride and i have missed you Gabriella
you: it's fine
you give him a hug
Chris: wait a minute
he ran into the house and came out with a box
Chris: open that when you get home goodnight text me when your in
you: okay i will
you drove home, snuck back in and went to your room staring at this box, you were nervous for no reason. you opened it and it was a beautiful necklace
