Could be me

Everybody Knows

It's been three months since the break up and I am finally getting back to my normal self. I mean it's a little lonely because five of my best friends have left to tour the world and I'm just here. I mean I have other friends and I go hang out with Stormie, Mark, and Ryland a few times a week. I went to the studio and Lauren ran up to me.

"Madi! Did you see Ross's latest tweet?"

"No, you know I deleted all my social medias after the break up....minus Tumblr and YouTube but those are exceptions."

"Anyways, look!" She show me a picture of Ross and some girl sitting really close to each other with their foreheads together and the caption was "Even when times get tough, I don't want no easy love."

"Okay?" I handed her her phone back.

"Aren't you mad?"

"Why should I be?" I asked as I walked into the studio.

"Because, he's been posting stuff with this chick and posting lyrics like this."

I put my bag down. "I honestly don't care. If he's happy, I'm happy. "

"So, you're basically saying you don't care that he is rubbing this relationship in everyones face?"

"Yes. He can live his life and I can live mine, so just drop it."

"Fine." She said as the choreographer walked in. We learned a new dance and fooled around for a bit. Afterwards, I headed to the Lynch house to eat dinner with Stromie. I open the door and walk in.

"Stormie?" I yelled as I put my bag on the table by the door.

"I'm outback."

"Okay." I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a water and headed out back.

"SURPRISE!"

I jumped as the Lynchs come out of nowhere.

"Happy birthday!"

"Y'all remembered?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't we?" Ryland said coming up and hugging me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and squeezed him.

"We grilled steak and corn on the cob and all your favorites." Mark said as took the foil off of the plates. We sat down and ate then Stormie walked inside and got the cookie cake. Then she brought something else out.

"Y'all didn't get me presents, did you?" I asked as she placed boxes on the table.

"Maybe? But we love you sweetheart, so we got you gifts anyway."

So, I open my gifts. They got me a new record player and vinyls, some dresses and jewelry. Then Mark handed me a little box. I opened it and there was a plane ticket.

"What's this?" I asked looking at them.

"So, we want you to come with us to see the kids. They are going to England and we want you to come with us and travel the UK for a bit."

"I...I don't know. I mean I want to, but Ross-"

"He misses you Madi and the others miss you too." Ryland said.

I looked around and then smiled. "Sure....why not?"

"Yeah! We're going to the UK!" Ryland yelled.
