It had been a few weeks since the video was filmed. And a day or two since Isaac uploaded the video, nick also uploading his New York vlog a few days before that. "Popcorn or pizza rolls?" Lydia asked Blake as he pulled up the movie for their movie night they hadn't had in a while.
"Pizza rolls, I haven't had dinner yet." He answered and she quickly prepared the pizza rolls, tossing them into the oven. "You find a new apartment yet?"
"No, I have like two more weeks until I have to be out and I'm looking at two more places tomorrow. Both in my price range and both the same amount of space as this one if not more." Lydia answered as she pulled them up on Zillow to show blake. She handed Blake the phone before there was knocking, well more like banging, on her front door.
"Sounds urgent." Blake said and Lydia went to answer the door. When she opens the door the banging stopped and there stood a very angry Ava.
"You bitch!" Were the first words that flew out of the blondes mouth.
"Whoa. What's wrong?" Lydia asked as Ava shoved her way into the apartment.
"I buy you a gorgeous pair of shoes for your birthday and you call them ugly?!" She shouted.
"What?"
"In Isaac's video! You really didn't think I'd ever see it?"
"Oh...listen. I have horrible balance and it was something ugly or something I wouldn't wear much, I wouldn't wear those much. I mean I almost broke my ankle wearing them for the first time." Lydia said with a small laugh trying to ease the tension.
"Are you upset because I didn't buy you that stupid dress you wanted? News flash: you're too ugly to pull it off!"
"Alright, that's enough. Time to go." Blake said coming around the corner to get Ava out. Ava immediately turned back to Lydia with a shocked look.
"And you're a whore?! I can't believe you! I told you I liked him and you're doing what, Netflix and chill?" Lydia couldn't speak it was like she was frozen.
"Ava! Shut the fuck up!" Blake shouted standing in front of Lydia in case the other girl tried something. "She's not a whore and we haven't done anything. You need to get the hell out."
"You don't mean that. C'mon Blake, you don't want this ugly bitch, just come back to me."
"If you do not get your delusional, batshit crazy, should be locked up in a fucking mental asylum ass out of here so help me god I will call the cops." Ava stomped her foot before huffing and storming out slamming the door behind her. "You okay?" Blake asked turning back around to face Lydia.
"I, uhm, yeah, yeah I'm good." She said as she took a deep breath. "What did she mean when she said 'just come back to me'?"
"Uh..." Blake realized he'd have to tell her and he was scared of how she'd react. "She's sort of my crazy ex."
"Your ex? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I just- I-" he took a deep breath gathering his thoughts. "I thought I could drive her away or figure out her plan or something before it was too late. She's always been like this. I love to Tennessee and she followed, I almost got a girlfriend there and she did this same thing."
"And you didn't think telling me would change it this time? You knew I hung out with her you could've not only saved yourself from this ending, but you could've saved me from her treating me like shit!"
"She treated you like shit?"
"Yes, Blake. She'd give me backhanded compliments, tried to give me shit advice on talking to you and trying to flirt with you, she called me ugly without saying it to my face so it'd hurt more. She was so mean to me without saying anything actually mean."
"You were flirting with me?"
"The movie nights, the cuddling up to you everywhere, the sleeping on you on the plane. Hell, even for last to leave nick was gonna let me use his set up but I said I'd rather be in your room when you offered the extra chair. I mean, I woke up clinging to your arm with my head on your shoulder. I don't know how it could get more obv-" she was cut off when Blake grabbed her cheeks and slammed his lips onto hers.
As much as she wanted to kiss him back she was so mad at him right now she shoved him off. "You don't get to do that. You don't get to just kiss me after what just happened. I'm so mad at you I want to just punch you but I like you so much that I'd hate myself if I did. You need to go home."
"Lyds-"
"Don't try and use my nickname, Blake. Leave." Blake took a deep breath and nodded before he grabbed his things and left.
Lydia stood there in the empty apartment as she tried not to cry, as she tried to calm down. She walked into the kitchen, shut off the stove and tossed the burnt pizza rolls into the trash before putting the pan into the sink. She walked to her room and fell onto her bed, grabbing her emotional support teddy bear and burying her face in it. Her body wracked with sobs as she processed the emotional roller coaster she just experienced...she was just so overwhelmed.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
Blake sighed as he let his head hit the front of her door leaning on it. "Why did I kiss her? That wasn't the right time to kiss her you fucking idiot." Blake told himself before standing up correctly and letting go of the door handle.
"Oh? I didn't know she had company over. Could you do me a favor and ask her to be quiet, she's always so loud." Tammy, the next door neighbor asked opening her door.
"Tammy, no offense, but you've already gotten her evicted could you please just leave her alone. She'll be out in like two weeks, just mind you damn business. It's not that hard." Blake told the woman before walking off leaving her in shock.
Once he got home and flopped down on the couch as he ran his hands over his face trying to figure out how to make the situation better. "You're back early." Nick said walking into the living room.
"Yeah, I don't think I'm going back for a while and I don't think she's coming here either." He said sadly.
"What? Why not?"
"Ava showed up, ruined everything, then Lydia ranted about how I should've told her, she said she liked me and told me how she was flirting with me the whole time. I didn't help the situation when I kissed her thinking that would make it any better, she pushed me off told me to leave, her dumbass neighbor came out complaining, I told her off and now we're here."
"Damn. That's...a lot."
"You're telling me. And she has to move out within two weeks, plus her job. Damnit, why did I think telling her was a bad idea."
