"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!

"You chose him. You stood in front of me and flaunted your relationship in front of my eyes." I move to grasp his arm, but he flinches away from me. Our eyes meet, and though I see indifference in his, I feel a stinging sense of hatred. "I wanted you. I made that very clear, and you wanted me; as much as you wanna play pretend and act unbothered, you wanted me." I take a step back, putting space between us. " That's not fair-" he steps closer. " Isn't it? You show off your love for him; you act like you're my friend and act as if you're blind to how I look at you. You act as if we never happened." "No," I gasp out, "we never happened." " "We didn't? Maybe nothing physical happened, but tell me you never felt anything; tell me we are nothing more than friends." I want to speak the words, turn and leave, and never look his way again, but I don't. I stand there frozen. He nods, "All you need to do is say the word, and I'll forget it all. I'll turn and leave and never speak like this again." He stares at me, his eyes pleading with me to hear his words and let him go. "I can't." The words barely leave my mouth before his lips are on mine, and I'm pressed against the wall. ~~~ I'm not sure how long I'll keep this up or how much people will like it. A lot of credit to @grraciie_ for inspiration (BBR). I read it a few years ago😭 still waiting for an ending. I credit Ashely Kutcher because my girl was playing on a loop the whole time I wrote. I've always wanted to write, but I'm much better at informational writing than fictional writing. Hopefully, people like this enough for me to continue. I use Grammarly, so if anything sounds AI-like, it's because an AI corrected it. Any references to other works will be sourced in this description, any other resemblances to other pieces of work or real occurrences are all coincidental. This is a work of fiction. This is my work.

Leah and Alex have been best friends forever, which is super convenient-except they're both completely oblivious to the fact that they're in love with each other. Clearly, they should be together, but hey, why make things easy? Instead, they spend years dancing around their feelings like it's a complicated game of "who can mess up their life more." And honestly, if they just talked to each other once or twice, this whole mess would've been over in...* drum roll * ...* drum roll intensifies * ...a chapter ! But nope, they'd rather be dramatic, make bad decisions, and send a million texts that never get answered. Will they finally stop being idiots and admit their feelings? Maybe. But don't hold your breath! These two somehow always miss their shot, even though it's written in neon lights . From accidental pregnancies to missing flights, life seems to go out of its way to throw obstacles in their path. They text, they don't text, they live in different countries, they don't live in different countries, and they make every bad decision possible-except the one that actually fixes everything. Will they figure it out, or will they keep being ridiculously stubborn for the next decade? A hilariously ( I hope) messy love story about the "right person, wrong time," or maybe just the "wrong people, right awful timing." °•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°••°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

14 parts Ongoing Mature

Scarlet Helders returns to Sheffield after years of traveling abroad, studying literature and writing a few successful books through a mentorship. She is excited to return home to her brother and his band, but things are different when she gets back. The biggest difference is in Alex, her old childhood crush; no longer considered 'adorable', he had changed into a stranger following a harsh breakup he experienced two years before. Her old friend is a little too arrogant, his hair newly short, his style vastly different. Worst of all, he doesn't seem to care that she is back. Never the matter, since she swore off the childhood crush years before. NOTE: This is all for fun, lmao idk what i'm doing. Just thought I'd give writing on here a try. :)
