“Work is running me ragged,” Holland said, shaking her head at Aspen. “I’m there like, twelve hours a day. There’s no way I’m going from set to the production trailers back and forth in a set of heels. And I’m not like -- going anywhere else,” she said, rambling through her tenth excuse of the day. There was no way Holland was wearing heels, let alone trying any on. Her feet hurt, her back hurt, her centre of balance was off even when she was flat on the ground -- heels were a no go. Just like having drinks with lunch. Just like trying on slinky, form fitting dresses. Holland had been saying no all day long. “I will happily drop a million dollars on something reasonable, but those are not going to happen,” she argued, nixing the shoes Aspen was holding in her direction.

“ hey babe sorry i’m late . ” aubrey parks herself on the chair opposite aspen and drops her back over the back of the chair . she pulls a menu from the holder and flicks through it like she hasn’t thought about her order already . “ is it totally bad if i skip the healthy eating for today and have a milkshake and fries ? ” she questions aloud , more rhetoric than anything . she’s skipped healthy eating since her split from jimmy . “ how are you ? how are things ? ” aubrey is well aware she isn’t the only newly single person at the table .

parties in silver lake were hit or miss. it was good because there weren’t a lot of celebrities in the area, bad because he was still liable to get recognized, but matt was a restless soul and when none of his friends or bandmates couldn’t hang out, parties were the last item on the agenda. he’d had more than a few beers, but not quite enough to start anything with some big oaf who knocked into a girl and walked away without apologizing. instead he turned to make sure she was alright. “damn, you good?” he asked her, a small, cute girl who looked just a little too pristine in this setting. “what a douche bag. karma’s gonna knock him down a flight of stairs someday.” @theaspenbarris​

After coming up from the basement, Holland was in perhaps one of the best moods of her fucking life. She was tipsy and happy and ready to enjoy the party, to let herself reap the chemical benefits of being in love. God bless oxytocin.  When she saw Aspen there, on the dance floor, that happy just spilled out of Holland. 

“Pea!” She shouted, stomping through the crowd to grab hold of her best friend. “There you are! I’ve been looking for you all night.” Holland landed both of her arms on Aspen’s shoulders, tugging her into a tipsy hug. “This wig is amazing,” she noted, lifting one hand from the hug to futz with the top of her pink hair. “You look like a fucking cloud of cotton candy.” Holland was unusually, obviously giddy.

She was doing it again. Less than six months in Silver Lake, and Holland was twice making the rounds to apologize to her closest friends for disappearing, for acting out, for making big, life changing decisions without involving them. This time, Holland had a designated order in which things had to be handled: first she had to speak with Jimmy, then the rest of the Shores, of course. Next was Aspen. 

Just as she had last time, Holland made her way to Aspen’s front door with her heart in her hands, ready to grovel, ready to do what she had to in order to get her friend to listen to her. Whether or not Aspen forgave her was up to Aspen -- Holland just had to have her say. 

Holland knocked at Aspen’s door. She waited. When she didn’t get an answer right away, she knocked again, a little harder. “Pea?” She called out. “Pea, it’s me. Can we talk?”
