"Hey Heather, get me coffee why you're in there, would ya please?"Ashley yelled into the kitchen.
It was early and Heather was still in her pajamas. She was in the kitchen getting herself a bowl of cereal because lord knows she cant cook. The tour had just ended and she had only been home for a couple days but it was nice to be in the comfort of her own home again.
"Dude, get your own coffee. I'm busy." Heather yelled back sarcastically.
Heather grabbed her phone from off of the counter and checked her messages for the 3rd time since she had woken up. Nothing. She had been waiting to hear from Naya for a couple days and she just couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. The cast had split off after the final show and everyone decided to take separate vacations. Naya said she was going to head to Vancouver which Heather found strange but she didn't say anything. Heather stopped in Toronto to meet up with some friends on the way back to Los Angeles but she decided to make it a short visit.
"Well, someone's grouchy this morning." Ashley said as she walked into the kitchen.
Heather quickly snapped out of her thoughts and said, "No, I'm fine."
"Alrighty then. What do you have planned for today?" Ashley said trying to change the subject.
"I am supposed to meet up with my vocal coach and then I have a meeting with my publicist." Heather said with a sigh.
"Heather, you just got back. Are you ever going to take a break? You should just take a couple days and go and see Taylor."
"I don't have the time."
"Is everything okay? Is there something wrong with you and Taylor?"
"No… okay kind of."
"What's going on?"
"Well, its just been hard. It's been 6 weeks since I've been on tour and it puts a strain on things. Sometimes a conversation on the phone is more frustrating then not talking at all."
"Which is precisely why you should go see him. Unless you don't want to…"
"I do, I really do but things are just a little rocky and I don't want to make things worse by getting in a big fight or something."
"Okay, you know what? Cancel your plans today. I've got an idea." Ashley said as she skipped out of the room.
" I can't just cancel! Ashley, where are you going?" Heather yelled making sure her voice carried so her roommate could hear her.
"Just make it happen HeMo!" the girl yelled back.

Naya sat by the hotel's pool in Vancouver. It had a beautiful view, overlooking the ocean. She couldn't help but love this city. The tour was long and she was finally getting some much needed rest.
Her phone lit up and she grabbed it to find a text from Heather.
*Hey, haven't heard from you in awhile. Hope you are enjoying your vaca!*
Naya started to type back to the girl but she stopped herself and deleted what she had wrote. She put her phone back down beside her and went back to looking at the beautiful view. She wanted to respond to Heather but she knew it was better to just keep her distance for awhile. Things had changed and Naya could feel it.
"Good morning sunshine! Look what I have." she turned around as she heard the voice behind her. It was Telly, with two Mimosa's in his hands.
"Morning. Looks like we are starting early today huh?" Naya said back to him as she reached out for the drink.
"Girl, i don't know whats going on but you look like you're in deep thought. You look like you could use a drink." Telly said as she pulled a chair up beside her. "So, whats going on in that pretty head of yours anyway?"
"Oh nothing, just a bunch of champagne problems" she said with a small chuckle as she raised her glass.
"Oh, I see what you did there. Kudos Ms. Rivera, kudos." he replied as he also raised his glass and clanked it against hers. " So, you gonna tell me or not?"
"There's nothing to tell, really." she said back with a shy grin.
"Okay fine. Since your not gonna spill it I'm gonna guess. Does this have to do something with the text I got from Heather this morning?"
"She text you? Why?"
"She was making sure you were alive since you wont call or text her back. "
Naya just sighed heavily.
"Why don't you just tell her how you feel?" Telly continued.
"What?" Naya said with concern. She hadn't told anyone about her feelings for the blond so she started to panic.
"Honey, I know you. I know her. It's very easy to see. Don't be ashamed, I'm not going to tell anyone, it'll be our little secret. So whats the issue?" he said back sweetly.
" I don't know she's straight, or has a boyfriend, or the fact that that we are best friends and it could screw everything up? Take your pick." Naya said. She was still getting over the shock of him figuring it out but she couldn't help the words that were spilling out of her mouth. It was such a relief to talk about it that she put aside the other issues for the moment.
"All valid points." he says back defeated.
"See, I'm fucked." Naya shot back.
"What if she loves you back?" he asks.
Naya just laughed and shook her head. "She doesn't. I just have to give myself a little time to get rid of these feelings and things will go back to normal."
"You and I both know, that's not how it works."
"Well its going to have to work. It's never going to happen and I don't know why I let myself get to this point."
"Why is it all coming out now? Did something happen?"
"When we left Ireland, I finally realized we wouldn't be spending every second of every day together anymore. That's when it hit me….. wait why am I still talking about this? No more. I'm done. This shall never be brought up again, got it?" she asked.
"We'll see about that. I have a feeling that a couple more drinks and you'll be more than happy to tell me about it. I'll be right back." he said as she got up and headed to the bar.
"Its only 9am you know! I'm not really feeling like being wasted by noon!" she yelled at her friend.
He looked back at her laughing and yelled back, " We're on vacation! Loosen up Nay Nay!"
She laughed and picked up her phone. She decided to text Heather back because she knew Heather would suspect something was up if she didn't act semi-normal.
*Vaca is fantastic. Miss you!*
XXXXXXXXXXX
Heather glanced down at her phone to see the text. She smiled then replied-
*Im glad! Miss you too. Call me later okay?*
"Who ya texting? I made you cancel your meetings for a reason. I need your full, undivided attention okay?" Ashley said with sarcasm.
Heather looked up and said, "Where are you taking me? This better be worth me getting my ass chewed out for!" She made sure to avoid the original question her friend had asked.
"You'll see." Ashley said quietly.
About 20 minutes later they arrived at the airport and Heather looked over at Ashley with a confused look.
"Wh- what are we doing at the airport?" the blond said.
"You're going to go get your ass on a plane." the girl told her.
"This is crazy Ashley, I don't have clothes or shoes or anything for that matter! I have appointments all week, I cant just go see Taylor."
"Who said anything about Taylor? Go do something for yourself for a change. I packed a suitcase for you, its in the trunk. You've lost sight of the things that really matter. You are stressed out and you need to take a little time to sort yourself. "
"Im fine really. You packed me a suitcase? Where am I going to go? Are you coming too?"
"No, I'm not coming. You'll be fine! Oh, and your going to Vancouver to go see Naya." Ashley said as she started to hand her best friend a bunch of things. "Here is your passport. Now go get a ticket. You need a few days to relax."
"You planned this all out? Does Naya even know I'm coming?"
"No she doesn't know. Yes, I planned it out, kind of, not really. You know what, stop asking questions, just give me hug and leave." Ashley said light- hearted.
Heather leaned over and hugged the girl. She got out of the car and said "Thanks Ash."
