Chapter Thirty
Cooper
Dude, LA fucking ROCKS. I wish you were here to experience all this with me.
Declan
Really? The flood of pics didn’t give that away.
I only send them so you won’t forget my face in the whole week I’ve been gone.
I miss you like a hole in the head.
Uh-huh. Whatever. Bet you’ve been crying into your pillow.
You wish.
Go on rock star… Tell me everything

Came to the beach with some of the guys from the studio. Honesty, Dec, the sunset here is unreal! Imma send a pic.
*Image attached* I’m definitely not crying. The ocean is just really salty.
Declan
It’s gorgeous.
Me or the water?
Tough call. I know.
Stop fishing for compliments.
Aww, so you do think I’m pretty
Fuck off.
Miss you too.
Oh! BTW, I checked and I can leave tickets at the box office under your name at any of my shows if you ever feel like hopping on a flight…
Yeah?
Always. Every venue. I’ll get it added to my rider ;)
I can’t wait.

Declan
You’ll never guess what Simone told me she plans to do after we spoke last night. She wants to have a Halloween party at TLC. Jerry said he’s gonna go as you.
Cooper
Tell that old man I wanna see a pic.
Sorry, I stand corrected, he’s just told me he’s going as a BETTER-LOOKING Reign Cooper.
As if anyone could beat the real thing ;)

Declan
Told you…
*attaches photo of Jerry*
Cooper
STFU. He actually did it? Why does he oddly suit a blond wig?
It’s the grumpy vibes that’s doing it for me honestly.
Dude gross. He’s old enough to be your grandpa.
Man, I wish I was there.
Just over a month in LA and you’re already homesick?
Ha, no.
Okay, maybe a little.

Cooper
You still managing to come out? I have this new restaurant I’ve been dying to try and I wanna take you.
Declan
Yeah. Already booked the time off.
Good. I can’t wait to spend time with you.
18 November
Cooper
Fuck. Dec… Liam just dropped this last-minute gig on me. I don’t think you flying out next week will work anymore.
Declan
Okay.
I’m so sorry. Reschedule? We’ll figure something out.
