On the Road: L.A. Glamour

Sry I know this one is kinda short but I'm a little stuck on what to write next and kinda crunched for time.

“Here, we are,” Xander said as he pulled up to up class apartment building and they got out of the car.
“Finally,” Cordy said giving him a dirty look, “You drive so slowly.”
“No, I don’t.”
“My grandmother drives faster then you. I saw a snail pass us on the road.”
Xander just ignored the remark as the he opened the trunk to remove Cordy’s things, “Cordy, you sure you can afford this place after everything with your parents?”
“Of course, please….I’m staying with a friend who lives here until I get on my feet and then once I become a rich and famous actress I’ll get a kick ass apartment of my own.”
“Okay, well, here are your bags. Do you want me to help you take them upstairs?”
“No!” she said a little too quickly, “I mean you should get going; get into road trip mode or whatever.”
“Alright, if you’re sure.”
“Yeah, I’m great.”
“Good,” he said as he turned to leave.
“Xander,” Cordy said running over to him and giving him a hug, “I’m really gonna miss you.”
“Me too. If you need anything…..”
“I’ll call,” she said pulling away and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Cordy watched as Xander pulled away from the curb and merged with the other traffic speeding down the street. She pulled a newspaper clipping out of her pocket and looked at the address. Sadly she picked up her bags and began to walk the four blocks to her real apartment. The truth was Cordy didn’t really know too many people in L.A. but she would be able to make due.
A little while later Cordy was led up to her apartment (if you could call the drab, dirty thing that) by the greasy landlord. She closed the door behind her, put her bags on the floor, and plopped down on the pull out couch that was her bed.
“So much for the glamour of L.A.” she said to the empty apartment.

Xander parked his car and checked into a local motel. He had been planning on driving straight to the next state on his list but he had changed his mind and decided to stay in L.A. for a little while. Besides I have all summer to visit all 50 states Xander thought and I’ve never really had a chance to explore L.A. So where should I go first Xander thought as he stepped out of the hotel and into the sunny streets of L.A.
That night Xander walked around the street of L.A. still looking for something to do. He had gone to look for movies stars but couldn’t find any and he had tried a few of the clubs but unfortunately tonight he wasn’t having any luck meeting girls. That’s when Xander heard a scream. He ran towards it and down a near by alley way, as he ran out of the alley way he saw a young girl running a way. He looked down the alley way only to find Angel.
“Dead boy!” Xander said, only to receive a frown from Angel, “You’re not evil again are you cuz girls don’t generally flee in fright from people, who save them.”
“I’m not evil! I just told her to go home, where it’s safe.”
“You really need to work on your people skills.”
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m on a road trip.”
“Then shouldn’t you be on the road?” Angel asked as he began to walk out of the alley way, Xander falling into step next to him.
“I had to make a stop. What are you doing her?”
“I live here, remember?”
“She misses you,” Xander said.
“I miss her too…….So where are you planning to go on this road trip?”
“I’m gonna drive to all 50 states.”
“You do know Hawaii and Alaska are in the middle of the ocean, right.”
“Okay, I’ll drive to 48 states, close enough.” Angel smiles in response, “You smiled, I didn’t know you could do that. I mean I knew you had the brooding down cold…….” Xander’s voice begins to trail off as the walk further down the street and out of sight.
