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

Aterwards

Lizzie POV

I heard the door bell ring and made my way out of the kitchen to open for whoever was standing outside in the cold.

I opened the door and saw Aubrey standing in front of me.

„Hey didn't expect you to be done so soon. Come on in." I stepped aside letting her walk through and she took of her shoes.

„Yeah i wasn't really planing on staying at the studio for that long to be honest." she replied and walked into the kitchen grabbing herself a bottle of water. I walked up to the kitchen island making the dinner ready.

„Was it that bad?" I asked and she chuckled drily.

„You have no idea." she huffed out after drinking some water.

„Wanna talk abut it?" I asked while stirring the sauce.

„Actually-." she got cut off as her phone started to ring.

She took her phone out and her brows furrowed at the sight.

„Sorry i need to take This." she pointed at the phone and I nod.

„Are you out of your mind?" I heard the person on the other line yell through the phone. So loud that I could hear it and that Aubrey took it away from her ear.

„What is it now Seth?" she asked unbothered while rolling her eyes.

„See for yourself. It's all over the news. How are you supposed to work with other artists if you beat them up? I can't work with you like this!" my expression changed into worry on why her manager asserts that she would do such thing.

She covered her phone and got up to walk away and now I can't get the thought out of my mind that she might did something.

I didn't want to eavesdrop on her so I stayed where I was but I could hear her Muffed voice from the hallway. After some minutes she walked back in and sat down again drinking her water up.
She staid silent for a while and wasn't really sure where to place her mood in.

„What was going on?" I asked her and she glanced up to me only shrugging her shoulders.

„Nothing mentionable. Just Seth freaking out. He's a crazy manager." she explained and I wasn't believing a single word.

„You Sure? Seems like there was something going on. Is it true that you where beating up a band member earlier?" I asked and she raised a brow.

„I don't know where you caught that but it doesn't matter if I did or not... and If I do I only do it if I have good reasons for it." she fired back with a bit of an attitude and I felt that I wouldn't get far with this interrogation.

„Alright Mathews. Have you eaten anything today?"
I asked and she shook her head.

„No didn't really have the time to do so." she played with her sleeve and my eyes fell onto them spotting a little blood.
I walked around and her eyes followed mine. I placed myself in front of her and took her hands to look at her sleeve.

„How am I supposed to believe that you didn't fight anyone when I find blood on your sleeve?
Bre what is going on you make me worry." I asked and she looked down taking her hands away from me.

„Nothing. Everything is fine. I just get nose bleeding when I Stress to much and today was really stressful." she replied and got up to walk away from me.

„is that it? Can I believe what you just said?" 
I questioned  and she furrowed her brows.

„Look. I don't really have the head for fighting right now. Is it okay if I take a quick shower and come down to eat with you?" she replied calmer now and somehow I felt bad for pushing her so far.
