Shoreline (Robby Keene/Book 2)

Broken Parts

I pushed the washroom door open and locked it behind me, stifling my cries as I sank onto the floor. I held my head in my hands as the tears slipped out of my eyes and down my face. For the first time, I realized that Eli truly was only a distraction from my feelings and Nick was right. I liked Robby, a lot, maybe even more than that, and every time I saw him kiss Sam, it broke me. I cried for the way I treated Eli, I cried for the loneliness I felt and I cried for the guiltiness I felt. 

Eventually after about half hour, I exited the washroom with a clear and clean face and a smile. Push it down.  I told myself on repeat. I walked into the living room to see Demetri standing by the DJ table, holding his red solo cup in his hand and speaking into the microphone. "I'd like yo make a toast to Eli Moskowitz." I quickly turned my gaze to Eli who was standing beside some of his friends, giving Demetri a glare. "Oh, I'm sorry, some of you might know him as Hawk." Demetri throws his cup to the ground. I get a sickening feeling in my gut. "Underneath that crazy clown cosplay and whatever type of manic panic he dumps in his hair. He's still good old Eli. My binary brother " He finishes. 

I move around and through the crowds of people to get to Demetri. "What are you doing?" I whisper yelled to him, he ignored me. 

"At least he was my binary brother, you know what he is now, a real zero." Demetri makes a zero with his fingers. 

"All right that's enough Demetri." Hawk said calmly. 

"Come on cut it out, just ignore what he's done, okay, he's still our friend." I try to remind him. He looks down at me. 

"Not anymore." He tells me while pulling his arm from my grasp, making me stumble. I thank the gods that I'd only had one drink tonight. "Don't let that angry red hairdo scare you, he's a big softy. We watched every Harry Potter movie together, and he balled like a baby when Dobby died." D made a baby face and everyone laughed at Eli.

"Okay, that's it." I mumbled, just because Eli and I were over, didn't mean I didn't care about him. "Demetri stop this right now." I said standing in front of him, giving him a pleading look.

"And Lydia, my dear friend. The hot girl who for some reason, hung out with me and my buddy."

I was taken aback when he started to talk about me. "What are you doing?" I asked kind of shocked. 

"She was buddy buddy with him from the start and I bet that she would've kissed little Eli if he hadn't become such an asshole." Demetri said, causing everyone to burst into laughter. 

"And what if she kissed me anyway?" Eli asked, making everyone stop laughing immediately. I whipped around and sent Eli a curious glance. 

"I doubt it, and if she had, she has worse taste than I thought." Demetri retorted, causing people around us to laugh. 

I looked back to him and glared. "I don't know why you're acting like this, but I will not stick around if it continues." I tell him before turning around back to Eli, looking him in the eye as I walked towards him quickly. He seemed to understand what I was planning on doing and sent me a grateful look. When I was finally a few steps away I didn't even glance around me before I smashed my lips on his for one last time. 

His lips were soft and warm, full of power, passion and regret. I snaked my hands up and around his neck as his slid around my waist, the music playing only intensifying the kiss. Around us, I heard cheering from several people but I ignored it as I tilted my head slightly, deepening the kiss and standing on my tiptoes. He bit my lip softly and I opened my mouth, giving him better access.

When we broke apart we were both struggling for breath as he was looking straight into my eyes. "Goodbye." I tell him, mostly for the closure, but also for the goodbye, giving him a small smile.

"I'll wait for us." He replied quietly, giving me a sly grin. 

"Thank you Eli." I mumbled, giving him one last peck on the cheek before turning and sending one last glare to Demetri before heading out to the backyard. 

As I turned around from closing the patio door, I glanced up just in time to see Sam and Miguel kissing. My smile automatically disappears as I glance around the backyard to see if Robby had seen what I had. He wasn't here.

A part of me was relieved but at the same time I was disappointed that he hadn't seen. I felt sick at the thought and felt guilty as soon as it slipped into my head.

I turned around towards the house to see the member's of Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do standing face to face, in the front, looking like they were about to murder someone, was both Robby and Eli. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding when I heard a loud siren in the distance, obviously heading towards the house. 

Next thing I knew, people were screaming and shoving. All trying to get away before the cops arrived. I started to move towards the front gate when I ran into someone's back. I looked up through my red hair to see green eyes staring down at me. "Lydia." He sounded winded, almost surprised to see me, or it could've been disappointment. 

"Robby." I replied, looking around him, and trying to tell him nonverbally that we needed to scram. 

"H-have you see Sam?" He asked and I instantly remembered what I just saw. 

"Y-yeah." I tell him, trying to shove down the memory of Sam sucking Miguel's face.

"Great, where?" He asked through the yelling and noise of other people trying to find who they came with. 

"I'm not sure." I answered honestly. 

"Can you help me find her?" He asked, running a hand though his hair. His face held worry. 

"Why?" I asked, also remembering that Sam and I were fighting. 

"Because Sam is dead-ass drunk and if the roles were reversed, I would make her help me find you." He said, growing impatient.  

I stood their, looking into his eyes for a good ten seconds. "Fine. Meet at my car when you find her, I drive you guys home." I told him.

"Did you drink." He asked.

"Did you?" I reply. He just slightly nods his head and jogs off to find Sam. I look around once more before jogging off to my car. 

I wait there for about three minutes before Robby came towards me, practically holding up a drunk Sam. We all get in the car, Sam in the back and before I take off I say, "Where too?" 

"I tell you where to turn." Was all he said.
