"I fucking wish I could be there and make you some nachos, we'd eat like pigs and watch FRIENDS like in middle school" she continued. I laughed through a small cry and pressed onto my cheeks.

I just wanted to stay in my hotel room, people from the cast were asking if I needed company or a distraction but I politely declined. I just wanted my best friend who has been there through it all.

"How's Angelo doing?" I asked. She smirked before switching the camera and filmed a few moments of him skating from one side of the park to the other. Now that Jordan's lessons were over, Blaire stepped up to just keep an eye on him while he did whatever the hell he wanted.

"He's getting better, I swear he's more pissed than me for what's happening to you though. I mean he was always the one looking out for you, asking what the fuck you and Josh were...oh sorry" she quickly apologized after mentioning Josh's name but I chuckled.

"Don't need to get mad at him Boba, it's not his fault that everyone hates me" I tried to say with a sarcastic chuckle, but she didn't laugh. I guess having your best friend getting publicly hated on by strangers is almost as bad to be the one going through it. Not quite, but close ish.

"So...where is he?" she asked shyly and I subconsciously looked at the door. I could be dealing with this by his side, but I just couldn't face him right now. I couldn't face anyone right now.

"He's at a café down the street with Chels and some of the cast, having breakfast - but hey I'm set with mine" I added whilst showing her my extra large cup of coffee from room service.

"You guys should talk though, I mean it's just going to get more awkward the more you put it off...even if it's going to be like the worst conversation ever" she said and I sighed heavily.

"I don't even know what to say Blaire, I mean I don't know if I should stand up for myself on social media or not, so many peole that enjoyed my tweets suddenly cancelling me as if I committed a crime - people that didn't even know I exist are immediately hating me...and that wont' stop if I'm still with him - and even if I do say something" I complained. This wasn't the relatable type of problem she could immediately give advice on sadly, so she just kind of sat there and frowned.

"I guess you can just say fuck the haters 'cause you did nothing wrong, just confront everyone- okay that is the least Addie thing I've ever said" Blaire and I forced a chuckle. Can't say she doesn't know me.

"I know that's the answer but like I'm the least built to deal with all this shit" I said whilst looking into the wall.

"Yeah I mean you couldn't even stand up to Jockstrap for months, I had to step in bitch" she retorted and I rolled my eyes as she ate another fry with utmost sass.

"Thanks...but no you're not wrong" I conceded and she chuckled softly. But soon our expressions turned solemn again.

"Okay so...that's what you would do though if you were in my position?" I asked her. She however turned silent and my brows furrowed.

"Blaire - would you just stand up to it all and deal with the hate or?" I repeated. But I felt like I already got my answer.

"Okay listen, the fact that he's Joshua Bassett, a lot of girls would think it's crazy to like give any of that up just 'cause of some hate. But you actually know him...it's not up to me - do you think he's worth it, like screwing all the 'he's Joshua Bassett shit" she asked and I really thought about it for a few moments. But the answer was obvious.

"I mean of course he's worth it but," I began and I just ended up looking out the window. But she understood what I meant already.

"Is it worth everyone yelling at both of you for it, I dunno" she ended on my behalf. We sat in comfortable silence for a few moments as I just tried to grasp what I wanted from all this.
