[vanessa's pov]

i hoped onto the couch and called mads

"hi" she said, sounding very upset

"hey, are you ok?"

the redhead breathed heavy into the phone
"not really. me and travis got into another argument"

"travis is back?"

"yeah. his podcast got finished early or whatever so he decided to come and stop by"

"that was nice of him" 

"yeah i guess"

"so,when are we headed to veggie grill?"

"meet me at my place around 5?"

"totally. see you soon"

i was reaching for the end button when-

"oh and one more, teeny tiny thing"

"what's up?" i said, quirking my eyebrow confused

"travis is coming with us"

"nooooo! first he brings his butt back early and now he invades girls night? not cool"

"i know, i know. i don't want him to come along either. that's actually what we argued about"

"i wish he didn't have to come"

"so do i. but it's okay, we'll still have a great time"

"you sure about that" i said, not too confident in her statement

"not really"

"well, see you later mads" i smiled 

"bye nessa"

"bye" and as soon as i ended the call, camila busted into my trailer

"hey bihhhh"

i smiled at her, i was always happy to get my (usually) daily cami visits 

"hey cami"

"heyy"

she plopped down onto the chair in front of me
"so, how was it kissing madelaine?" she smirked.

"oh my god, really cami? of course you want to know" i laughed

she made a shocked face and placed her hand on her chest "and why would i want to know?"

"you're notorious for asking people about their kisses with other people afterwards. like that one time you wanted very descriptive details from lili on what happened in the lodge scene"

"well i'm just interested that's all"

"mmh," i said, laughing again

"well, you don't have to tell me. i already know it was great"

she winked as she stood up from her chair

i leaned forward and smiled "and how were your, many, sexy varchie kiss scenes?"

"i don't kiss and tell nessa"

"oh my god" i rolled my eyes chuckling

"byeee" she said, waving her hands above her head as she exited my trailer

i shook my head as i began to pack up to leave and meet madelaine.

[madelaine's pov]

as soon as i got home i began to scroll through and like pictures of me and vanessa's ship on insta. it's crazy how much hype we've gotten for a couple that isn't even a couple yet, and i'm loving it

the sound of my doorbell interrupted my scroll. knowing who it was (because i got a text from vanessa that she was pulling in) i quickly threw my phone down on the bed and ran to the door 

"coming!" i yelled 

i unlocked the door to see vanessa standing there smiling, waving her phone by her side

"i see you've been checking out some fan post"

"i have. come on in"

i kept the door open for her as she walked in laughing, and then closed it behind her with a shut.

"is travis meeting us here or-"

i cut her off
"he's gonna meet us there, at veggie grill"

"okay cool cool"

"i know your not the most excited for this but-"

"no it's fine. he's been gone for a while and i get that he wants to hang out with you"

she looked at me in my eyes with a look that pleaded for me to cancel on travis and just stay here with her. but i acted like i couldn't read what she was saying just by the look on her face. she then spun around and headed towards my room

she hoped onto my bed, and pulled out her phone checkying twitter and instagram

"travis is jealous" i blurted out of know where

she continued to look at her phone, unfazzed 

"of what" she said as she liked an Instagram picture of us

"me and you" i mumbled

As soon as i said that her head piped up
"why?"

"because we kissed. he thinks that you secretly have a crush on me and we're going to get togther"

"but i don't, and we're not"

"that's what i told him"

"is that the reason he's tagging along?"

"no, he says i don't spend enough time with him. and that I'm always with you"

"everything is about himself with him. his head is so far up his on ass im surprised he can breathe"

"nessa" i said to him pointedly. 

i know that she and travis aren't the best of friends and they struggle to get along,and i try to get them to make amends just so we can have peace, but you wouldn't understand how hard it to is to have two of the most important people in your life dislike each other. and if were be 100% honest, i don't know why vanessa doesn't like him.

"sorry, sorry. though it's the truth, i'm sorry." she pleaded

"yeah sure"

travy- im omw

"travis said he's in route"

"well i guess we better go and eat with your boyfriend from hell"

"vanessa please, just one night without any insults?" i pouted, giving her my best puppy dog face that i knew she couldn't resist

"okay fine. and im saying okay only because your giving me that face that you know i can't say no too"

i smiled "thank you, ready to go?"

"as ready as I'll ever be"
