"So you finally unpacked your last box?" Harry asked over the phone, as I hung up the last of my clothes. Alexander and I ended up only moving in last week, instead of a couple weeks ago. Our million dollar apartments, courtesy of Mr. Cook, were being cleaned, or something like that.
"Yeah, just barely. Now I just need to organize everything!" I said, balancing the phone between my cheek and my shoulder.
"How's LA been so far?"
"Amazing. We start recording our first show in about an hour or so."
"So I should probably let you go now?"
"Probably."
"Alright, Bye Pres, love you." He said sadly into the phone.
"Love you too." I hung up and walked into my darkened kitchen. The world outside my window was dark, the lights from the city being the only light left. I grabbed a cookie before walking into my bathroom. I set my phone and my cookie down and shut the door to the toilet.
I emerged from the toilet, noticing that both my phone and my cookie were gone off the counter. I washed my hands and walked back into my living room. The sounds of Home Alone filled my apartment. I knew that I didn't turn that on. I walked out to find Alexander sitting on my couch, flicking through my phone, and finishing off my cookie.
"Ooh, I love you more." He read in a high pitched voice. I lunged for my phone, also jabbing Alexander in the eye. "Ow." He said, rubbing it.
I took a seat next to him on the couch, having finally retrieved my phone. "How'd you even get in here?" He held up a small key, one to my apartment. "Where'd you get that?"
"Mr. Cook." He simply replied.
"Why did he give you a key to my apartment? I asked in disbelief. He just shrugged in response.
We remained quiet for the next ten minutes of the movie. We had be having frequent movie nights, since he was my neighbor...and co-host.
"Me and Laura broke up." He said, breaking the silence.
My mind flashed back to the movie night we had two days ago. We were watching The Hunger Games, and he could'nt wait to show me Laura. The camera only went onto her for a brief second, but in that second he was as giddy as a little girl. He was smiling for the rest of the movie, while I was happy, in tears, and frightened at the same time.
"Why?" Was all I replied with.
"She couldn't take it. The pressure, not seeing me that often, all of it."
We both stayed silent. "I'm sorry, Alexander."
He gave me a small smile before reaching for my hand. Not in the 'I'm trying to get you to cheat on your boyfriend' kind of way. More like 'I know you're here, and I can trust you' kind of way.

The studio crowd roared as we took the stage. This was our first show, and we were pretty much bouncing off the walls. Alexander hadn't said much more about his and Laura's break up. When I did mention it, all he said was "It's time to move on."
Now as we took our seats, I could tell that he was still trying to move on. His eyes were distant and his smile forced. "And now, please welcome, Zooey Deschanel!" Alexander said. Zooey waltzed onto stage, her smile radiating off her. She had always been my biggest role model, so of course we chose her first.
"Do you ever feel like they should make an Elf 2?" I asked, as we had somehow gotten on the subject of her Christmas movie.
"I would love to, actually. But they better think of something amazing to make it be as good as the first one!" Everybody laughed, agreeing with her.
"That's all the time we have today, But we'll see you back here after the Thanksgiving break! See ya!" Alexander said as we all walked off stage.
"That was so fun!" I said, bouncing with joy.
"That was one of the funnest interviews I've done! Thank you guys for having me!" Zooey said, before her agent took her away.
"Did you have fun?" I asked Alexander, wiping all the makeup off my face.
"That's the most fun I've had in ages, and to think this is our job!"
"You guys ready?" Mr. Cook asked, walking up to us.
"Ready for what?" Alexander asked.
"After every show, we go get pancakes! It's a tradition!" We excitedly got back into our normal clothes, grabbed our stuff and we all walked out the doors.

"Did you watch it?" I asked excitedly into the phone.
"Yeah we all saw it! The boys kept crowding the TV but I made them move." Harry said, just as excited. We had been talking for over an hour and the majority of it was him talking about himself.
"Hey, we have to go to a charity basketball game thing, while we're here in LA. I'll call you after, okay?" He asked.
"Okay." I said a little disappointed.
"What are you going to do, for the rest of the night?"
"I think Alexander's coming over for another movie night." I said, hearing my door open and close and the sound of the TV turning on.
"Another?"
"Yeah, we have them almost every night."
"You're getting pretty close to him aren't you?"
"Well, he is my neighbor, and I do work with him, but he's more like an older brother."
"Oh. . .Okay. I gotta go, love you." He didn't wait for my reply before hanging up. I was upset that 1) He barely let me get a sentence in. 2) He got upset when he knows I would never cheat on him. He is my first boyfriend and the only boy I've ever loved, cheating in not on my to-do list. and 3) He's in LA and he's too busy to come see me, which I guess isn't his fault.
"You okay?" Alexander asked, as I walked into the room, freshly showered.
"Mmhm. What are you watching?" I asked, taking a seat next to him.
"It' some kind of charity event, a professional basketball thing."
"Hey, Harry and the boys are there." Just as I said that, the camera zoomed in on them. Niall had his arm wrapped around some girl, which I'm guessing was his girlfriend. Zayn and Louis had their girlfriends. Liam looked a little down, and lastly Harry, who was seated next to a blond girl.
"Who is that?" Alexander asked. I shook my head, wondering who it was.
"And now," The announcer said. "for The Kissing Cam!" The camera went on all different couples, each one sharing a kiss. The last one though, was Harry and that blond girl. My heart pounded as he leaned in closer to her, and their lips touched. Alexander's eyes went wide, as mine filled with tears. All at once, my world came crashing down.
