Cheryl and Tre: Goodbye Means Hello

Part 4

The next day, the girls decided to go out and explore Vegas, leaving the boys to just go to the nearby bar to play pool and have some drinks. Nadine and Jason had arrived during that morning, much to everyone's delight, especially the girls, as it had been a while since they'd seen Nadine and hung out with her. Now that the boys were at the bar, the girls were out, walking down the streets and finding different shops to go into.

"Ah Diney, we've missed you way too much, babe. How's little miss Anaiya doing then?" Nicola asked, pouting her lips together. Nadine's daughter, little five month old Anaiya, was in Los Angeles with Nadine's mother. They had to admit; Nadine was the last person they'd thought would become a mother, but they could see how much she was enjoying every aspect of it and having the time of her life.

"She's perfect! I actually miss her already; no offense Cheryl." Nadine gushed before giggling and nudging Cheryl, who jokingly gasped before giggling with her.

"Nah babe it's fine! Hey, maybe the day after my birthday I can catch a little flight to LA and come see her! I bet she's getting so big now isn't she?" she pouted. Nadine nodded, pulling out her phone.

"Look at her." she grinned as she flicked through her phone pictures. She then settled on some pictures of Anaiya and handed the phone to Cheryl, who instantly began looking and 'awwing' along with Nicola, Sarah, and Lily.

"Oh god, she's absolutely gorgeous, Nadine." Lily pouted. The other girls agreed with her, gushing over the pictures while Nadine was just giggling at them, and at the fact that the five of them had pretty much stopped on the middle of the sidewalk to gush over the pictures.

"She's literally the most adorable baby ever; look she's so happy. Argh.. Nadine stop you're making me broody now." Cheryl whined, handing the phone back. Nadine just laughed, shaking her head in despair before they all continued down the street.

The five of them laughed and giggled away, reguarlary taking silly pictures together to send to Kimberley, gossiping away about nothing but nonsense - just feeling glad to be spending time together. They'd also roamed around quite a few shops, picking up different bits and bobs to wear or some random souvineirs to take back home to England with them. After a couple of hours of just messing around and exploring, they decided to go get something to eat. They wandered to a nearby burger place that had some really nice burgers and fries. The waitress instantly led them over to a table near the windows and took their drink orders, before wandering off to let them look through the menu.

"I'm feeling a massive burger. It's my birthday time, I don't have to be healthy at this moment." Cheryl giggled, looking through the menu. The others nodded in agreement. They all chatted away over what the order, all of them finally making up their minds once the waitress had come back over. She put their drinks down and took their orders, then took their menus up and wandered off.

"Right, so oh my god, I have to tell you guys something. Don't judge me either." Cheryl suddenly announced before taking a sip of her drink through the straw. The girls all raised an eyebrow at her, giggling slightly.

"Oh god, you're pregnant with the next baby Jesus?" Nicola joked, trying to keep a straight face. Cheryl scowled at her, which made them all start laughing.

"No, you fucking moron." she pouted before giggling a bit.

"Alright, what is it then, half-pint?" Sarah asked, all of them leaning in at the table. Cheryl swallowed slightly, biting her lip before continuing.

"So erm...you guys remember Tre yeah?" she quietly asked. All the girls nodded, smiling and biting their lips, remembering Cheryl's ridiculously hot, now ex-boyfriend, American dancer, Tre. He was a complete sweetheart and all her friends and family loved him to bits - and everyone had been gutted when she had revealed that they'd split up.

"What about him then?" Lily asked, not even trying to hide the excitement in her voice. 

"Erm, well..I mean...okay...I've been thinking about him, like a hell of a lot lately, so...well I don't know if it's fate or I really don't know what happened - but he text us the other day, and -" she was saying but Nicola cut her off by powerfully slapping her on the arm, making her pout.

"And you didn't feel the need to tell any of us? Do you know how much we've missed the Yankee Doodle?!" she asked, her eyes going wide with excitement. Cheryl just started giggling, nudging her.

"Calm down man." she giggled.

"No, no we won't calm down! Tell us what was spoken about; what happened?" Sarah asked, reaching across the table to repeatedly poke Cheryl in the arm. Cheryl swatted her hand off, giggling.

"Erm, nothing - we just had a general conversation about different things. Apparently he seen us at Summertime Ball as he was there dancing with Little Mix, but he couldn't get to me because everyone was crowding around us backstage and stuff." she replied.

"Oh my god; I bloody knew it! I thought it was him dancing with Little Mix but I didn't ask and I didn't get close to any of Little Mix to ask if it was him or something - so it was him then? And I seen him backstage with I think Fefe and Vince and Marshall and AV as well and I didn't even say anything! Oh my god!" Lily gasped. She'd had a suspicion that it was Tre that she'd seen at Summertime Ball some days earlier, but she just hadn't said anything.

"Well yeah, it was him. Anyway, we was texting and such, and it just brung up the feelings that I'd tried to act like didn't exist anymore." Cheryl replied, fiddling with her straw. The girls were staring at her, they knew exactly what she was on about.

"You still love him, don't you?" Nadine asked, reaching over to take her hand. Cheryl breathed out, before nodding her head slowly. This was the first time she was actually admitting it; she still loved Tre, with everything in her.

"I never stopped; I wish every day that me and him could've worked something out but I knew I had to get myself healthy first and we both had to figure some things out. I miss him, and I still love him so much. I don't know if he feels the same or anything, but I damn sure know that I do." she confessed. All the girls let out an 'aw' and reached over, stroking her arm.

"Aw babe; well maybe you two can meet up and have a talk, do you think?" Sarah asked. Cheryl sighed, shrugging her shoulders.

"I don't know; I certainly hope so but I don't know if he'd really want to." she shrugged her shoulders. 

"Let me see your phone." Lily said. Cheryl gave her a confused look.

"Why?" she asked, frowning a bit.

"Let me see your phone; let me see your latest messages with Tre and I'll give you your answer." Lily bluntly replied, holding her hand out. Cheryl breathed out a bit before handing the phone over to her. Lily instantly went through the messages, scrolling through the ones that were between Cheryl and Tre. She nodded her head before handing the phone back.

"You need to go talk to him, because he clearly misses you and wants to talk, Chez." she told her.

"Or you can just talk to him now." Nicola mumbled so they could hear, nodding her head in the direction behind Cheryl. Cheryl gave her a confused frown before turning aroud along with Sarah and Lily, all of them gasping straight away.

There was Tre, wandering into the bar with his sister...

"Dammit." Cheryl mumbled, covering her face with her hands straight away, suddenly feeling like she wanted to just run away...
