We met again in fall (book 2 of Just a professor)

Bedroom talk.

Lizzie POV

I wasn't able to settle my thoughts for a single moment. I was guilt tripping the whole time since she left and now that vi called me out of nowhere I can't seem to calm myself down.

I really need to do something about the way I treat Aubrey. She doesn't deserve this at all. I always thought that her pre relationship where terrible. The way they treated her. But now that I reflect on myself I see that I haven't treated her correctly.
Probably better than the others but not how it is supposed to be. She never treated me in a wrong way.

She deserves the world and after all I don't even know if she will ever be with me again. I let her slip always so easily and it was my biggest mistake to not tell her about her mother directly.

I should have ripped the bandage off as soon as i found out but it feels terrible to know that she will be mad and even more damaged.

I wasn't thinking of anything else's the whole time until I stood in front of Aubrey's door.

I rang the bell and waited impatiently.
I heard Steps and Vi stood there with a relieved expression.

„Thank god your here. Hey." she pulled me in for a hug and I saw on her face that she didn't get much sleep. She probably kept an eye on Aubrey.

„Where is she?" I asked immediately and she let me walk in first.

„Upstairs. I had to carry her to bed. She didn't left her room for the whole day. She didn't even talk much. She even refuses to eat. I don't know what to do Liz." My worry grew hearing how she feels.

„I can't Promise you anything but I'll go talk to her and hope it will get better. Or even if she only opens up it's a step forward."

„I know. But still. Thank you. I'll bring you up." she replied and I walked up behind her.

She knocked on the door and waited for a couple seconds not hearing anything but she still opened the door regardless.
The room was dark and Aubrey was tugged into the blanked with the back turned to us.

„I brought you some-."

„I told you I'm not hungry vi. Leave please." she interrupted vi and my heart breaks to hear her voice so differently.

„Well i bet she's edible but that's not the point here."  vi answered and I punched her arm for this joke. It really didn't fit in this situation.

„She?" Aubrey asked and turned her head to see the both of us standing in the doorway.

Her expression grew into surprise as she sat herself up. She glared at vi and glanced to me from time to time.

„Don't give me the I'll kill you look. I had to okay. You can thank me later." vi answered and walked backwards slowly.

„Don't you dare leave Vivian!!"

„Sorry!! I love you!!" she yelled out already walking down the hallway.

I stood there not really knowing what to do next. She hasn't said a word neither did she move a single muscle.

„I already have enough on my mind. What brought you here?" she asks rudely but I can't blame her for the attitude she gives me.

„Vi called me and it made me worry. She was helpless and she didn't know what to do. So I came by."I answered honestly and she scoffed.

„I had plenty of breakdowns in the past years so I'll be fine. You can leave." she answers cold and I closed the door stepping slightly forward to see her better. Dark rings under her red stained eyes and the tiredness is written all over her face.
