Alicia's Apartment
Sunday, 12:00 p.m.
Manhattan, NYC
Claire stood in front of Alicia's massive door to her Manhattan loft. Alicia had told them to dress boho chic, so Claire had grabbed her charcoal gray slouchy velvet Marc Jacobs shorts, her floral Chloe sleeveless blouse, vintage tan cowboy boots, her vintage Gucci aviators, and her trusty Zac Posen tan leather hobo bag. Her long blond hair was hanging long and wispy, and she didn't need any makeup except for her lime chapstick from Lush. Claire looked down to rate her outfit. Her long skinny legs were tan, and her knees looked especially knobby today. Her whole body smelled like The Beat by Burberry, and even though Claire normally would never be caught dead in Burberry, she had to admit that their new perfume totally smelled good. Claire reached out a long, skinny finger and rang the doorbell. And when she took her hand away, the colorful wooden bangles on her slim wrist clanked together.
Alicia's sultry face stuck out of the door, while her wrist grabbed Claire, and pulled her inside. When Claire got inside, the song, "Everybody Clap" by DJ Assad vs. Maradja was blasting out of the stereo. Alicia locked the door. Claire saw Dylan, and Kristen dancing and mouthing the words to the dance song. "Hey, wheres Olivia?" Claire asked. Alicia stopped dancing and stared at Claire blankly. "Oh, after you left last night, she said some crap about you and how pathetic you were for calling Cam, so we kicked her out of our lives. Again." Claire shrugged. "Serves her right for saying that stuff about my BFF." Kristen said, as she draped herself over Claire's bony shoulders. Claire giggled, as Dylan and Alicia each hugged her." Ok! So someone from my studio called and said that I needed to go shopping for a new outfit. You know, because the Grammy's are in like 3 weeks, and she even gave me an address to a hot new boutique that just opened up in Times Square. And I'm thinking since you babes are my special guests, that we can all go and shop till our credit cards run out of money!" Dylan and Alicia cheered, while Claire and Kristen stood there watching with their arms crossed. "Um, don't you think thats kinda stupid? I mean I want to be conservative with my money and save it. Not spend it." Kristen said, while Claire nodded her head in agreement. Alicia and Dylan exchanged an eyeroll. "Kristen! Now that your richer than you were when you were in middle school, you can blow money whenever you want, and it still won't make you poor! Duh!" Alicia said. Claire and Kristen reluctantly followed Alicia and Dylan out to hail a cab.
When they got a cab, all four of them piled into the back seat. "Ok, so everyone has their credit cards?" Alicia asked while applying her 3rd coat of MAC lip glass in light pink. Claire , Dylan and Kristen all nodded in unison. "Perf! Now we can all shop in peace without any stress over where are credit cards are!" Alicia chirped cheerfully. Claire gazed out the window as they stopped directly in front of that huge flashing billboard that flash one commercial from another. She had heard that Nick Cannon had made a video proposing to his girlfriend, and that they played it for her, so the whole NYC could see. That would be like a modern Cinderella ending. How intriguing. Claire was snapped out of her trance when Dylan nudged her out of the cab. Alicia was the last out. "Ok, lip gloss check! How does mine look?" "I give it a...9.4!" Claire said flatly. "IDK, like a...9.3?" Dylan said while checking out her tummy in the window of a store. "UGH! Gawd Alicia! Why are you starting to act like Massie?! I thought that we made an agreement, no more Massieish things!" Kristen snapped. Alicia rolled her eyes.
Suddenly her new song "Que Calor" that she had sung with Alycia Stefano (thats a real song that Alycia Stefano seriously does sing, but pretend that Alicia is singing!), started blasting through the speakers of a nearby Bebe. "OMG! This is my new single! Guys! We have to go and tell the people at Bebe to play it again! Hurry Up!" Alicia dragged everyone inside Bebe. As soon as she reached the counter, the cashier started screaming. "Ahhhhhhh!! OMG! OMG! OMG! I'm hyperventilating!! Help!! I am your HUGEST fan!! Like bought your new single the literal second it came out! OMG! We have to play your new song over again!" With that said, the cashier scrambled to a stereo and hit replay a million times. Alicia smiled broadly. "And thats how its done!" The girls started dancing in the middle of the store, while paparazzi and spectators took pictures.
Suddenly the gigantic billboard started playing the sing, "About You Now" by Sugababes, and Massie's face appeared on the board. Alicia stopped dancing and stared at the board. As did everybody else in Times Square. "Hello fellow New Yorkers! This is Massie Block here live from Times Square. I have a special announcement. A couple days ago I acted like a real jerk to some of my best friends in the entire world. And I know that they are here right now, so thats why I'm saying this." Claire looked over at everyone else. Alicia had her hands on her hips and her head held high as if she deserved an apology, Kristen's mouth was hanging open and her eyebrows were so high up that her blond hair almost covered them, and Dylan was standing there with her arms crossed, and tapping her foot. "Listen guys, I'm really, really sorry, and I want to at least know that you guys know how sorry I am for everything I've done. And I know you guys probably don't every want to see my face again, or more or less even be friends again, but I just want you guys to know that you guys mean the world to me, and It breaks my heart to know that I've hurt you guys. So, I'm sorry. And If you guys acknowledge my apology, then tonight at 7:00 p.m. meet me at Oto, so that I can give you guys back your things that I still have. Once again, I'm sorry. And..I love you guys, so much!" Massie instantly broke down into tears, but covered her face so no one could see her tears. Then the screen went blank and started flashing a commercial for Virgin mobile.
Claire had tears streaming down her face, and was sniffling. Alicia looked shocked and almost disturbed. Dylan was chewing at her hair nervously. And Kristen was looking at the ground and fiddling with her bracelet. Suddenly Claire was overcome with grief, worry, and depression all at once. "Guys, lets go home." Alicia said quietly. The girls jumped into a cab, and went their separate ways with the same thing going through their minds. "Should I go tonight?"
Ok, so there is how Massie apologizes to the girls, and I know that ur saying, "I thought that Massie never cried in public?" And my answer is "She didn't she covered her face so nobody saw! and ten ur saying "Massie wouldn't just give in like that. She wouldn't be that nice. She would get revenge." And im here to say"well 2 BAD! b/c i'm the author and i can do whatever i want! lol! jk! But she was just tired of all the drama, and she really does love the PC a lot, and she decided not to hurt them b/c they mean so much 2 her. Ok enough mushy stuff! Now I hope that you guys enjoy this chapter b/c i'm thinking of ending the story soon. But thats only if you people don't care, but if you guys really like the story, then I will continue. Ok ttyl!
