Way Back When (Elizabeth. O)

【２１】

Elizabeth's POV:

Trailer

"She said that she's was too tired and that we should reschedule." I look at her to try and gauge her reaction. She looks at me with a smile, I have no idea why she's smiling like that but it can't be good. "What?"

"Nothing it's just that you believe her." She gets up to grab the bottle of whine sitting on the counter.

"I do, and she deserves that." I reply, a little agitated that she's thinks that Mia would lie to me. Before she mentioned it just now I didn't think for a second that Mia would lie to me about that.

"She does, but I don't think that it's a coincidence that she cancels on you just when you were making progress." She says, and now I'm second guessing wether or not Mia wants to start seeing me again.

"She wouldn't do that. You don't know Mia like I do." I say and stand up in frustration. I walk over to the window and look out at whatever is out there, which isn't much.

I take another gulp of the red whine that we were drinking and then hand Scarlett my glass. She tops it up right to the brim, which I am grateful for.

"No, you're right, I don't. I do know that she's questioning herself, and you. And I know that she was on a date with a girl she seems to like." She responds, and I finally realise that she might be right.

Part of myself wants to believe Scarlett, but then at the same time I owe it to Mia to believe her.

What she's saying is true, but Mia isn't that type. Mia loves hard or she doesn't love at all. But hey, maybe she has changed.

"Okay so what do I do now?" I ask her, while she sits there watching me as I stare out the window blankly. I really like the fact that she's always there for me, I'm so glad I get to be a part of this cast.

"I'd say you wait," she answers.

"Wait? For what?" I question.

"Wait for her. See what she does, she's going to have to choose sooner or later. You or that Bailey girl that she went on a date with. And while she is you have to make a decision." She advises, I'm guessing that she means me and Robbie.

Or more like Mia and Robbie.

"Robbie," I say and she nods.

"Robbie. You know as much as I do that the paparazzi will be all over you if you turn up to a date with a person other than Robbie." She has a point.

We seem to be in a very complicated situation right now, the two of us.

She has to choose between me, someone who broke her heart, and a woman who's perfectly capable of loving her the way that she deserves to be loved.

And then there's me. Who is desperately trying to get with a woman who's heart that I broke. I have to decide wether or not I'm going to leave a perfectly kind, and passionate man for a woman that is scared of me.

"So, what are you going to do?" She asks.

"I don't know. Actually, I do know. The second that Mia reply's saying that she wants to go on a date, I'm going to break up with Robbie." I say confidently, but saying it just felt wrong.
