I feel guiltier than ever about the way I've been behaving lately. Seeing how Lauren and Ava treat others has made me realize how important it is to have people around you that you trust. I can do that with Liz and Nadine. A fight shouldn't get in the way of our friendship. I know now I have to fix things with both of them before it's too late.

"My dad and Matty are going to meet us at the shoot," I tell Austin. "They had an early tee time this morning so they were going home to shower first. Laney is coming from a press conference so she's got her own car."

Austin moves closer and snuggles my neck. "I'm glad we're alone. I've missed you," he says. "You've been so busy I've barely talked to you this week."

Austin smells so good I think I may pass out. He doesn't look so bad either in his American Eagle jeans and a button-down striped shirt that is open over a navy blue tee.

"I've been with Lauren and Ava a lot," I admit, "but I think I'm sort of done with all that partying."

Austin smiles. "It's not really your style, is it?"

Austin hasn't come right out and told me what he thinks of Lauren and Ava, probably because he's still never met them, but he's talked to them on the phone, and he never sounds too jazzed when he gets off. Instead he's been making little comments, like that one, that lead me to believe he's not their biggest fan.

I fill Austin in on how Lauren and Ava have been behaving and what a jerk I've been to Nadine. I tell him what happened the day Liz called me and how I've been too embarrassed and unsure of what to say to her about everything to call her back. The great thing about Austin is that he listens, but he doesn't pass judgment. Instead he says: "You'll fix things with Nadine and Liz, but I guess Lauren and Ava aren't the people you thought they were."

"Lauren and Ava were a great escape from all these major changes in my life," I admit. "They have no responsibilities and all they seem to do is shop or party. Being with them was fun for a while, but it wasn't real." I look out the window. Our car is driving higher and higher in the Hollywood Hills and I know we must be minutes from our destination, a private home Sure borrowed for our shoot. Apparently it has magnificent views of the city. "I'm going to fix things with Nadine and Liz right after this photo shoot is over. It's the first time in days that I'll have a good, quiet moment to dedicate to them, and that's my first priority." I'm not sure what I'm going to do about Lauren and Ava though. They called me yesterday, but I haven't called them back yet.
