Trouble

16

"Do you have any plans for the next hour or so?" Tory asks as we all walk out of class.

"I don't think so, why?"

"A few of us are getting together, wanna join? You can bring your boy toy too"

"Who's going?" I ask.

"Me, hawk, Mason, Owen, kyler, and if you and or Robby come"

"Okay, we'll see." I tell her.

"I'll text you where we're meeting" she says, walking off.

I stand there for a minute, trying to decide if I should go.

"Robby, let's go!" I yell getting into the car. He walks over and gets into the passenger seat.

"What did Tory want this time?" He asks.

"She invited us out with some of her friends." I tell him.

"Hell no"

"Well, I want to go. You can do whatever you want when I'm gone" I say.

"What?" He asks confused. "You really want to hang out with them?"

"Why not?" I say to him smiling. "Come on, it'll be fun"

He hesitates, before admitting, "fine. But only for a little bit"

I smile more and grab his hand with mine. I could tell he was looking at me, but I didn't look back. We both got home, quickly change and meet downstairs.

"You look like you came out of a gang from the late 80's" I tell him.

"Yeah well it's good enough" he says walking outside and I follow him out to the car.

We go to the place Tory told me, and see everyone gathered around a fence.

"Look who showed up" Tory says walking over to me and Robby. "Thanks" she says to me.

I slightly nod, and all three of us walk over to the group.

"Want a beer?" Hawk says holding out two beers to me and Robby.

"Drinking doesn't get rid of the fact that you fucked up your hair so much it stands straight up" I say grabbing a beer.

"It's called hair spray" he says. We all follow Tory in through the fence.

"A zoo?" I ask. "Are we really going to go look at bunnies for you Mason?" I say to him. He just flips me off and continues walking. We walk into the exhibit, and over to a back room.

"Izzy, come here" Tory says, waving me the other direction. I follow her, until we reach a corner.

"What's going on?" I ask her. Before warning, she shoves her lips into nine. I kick her away quickly, and push her back.

"What the hell?" She complains.

"What the hell?!?" I yell. "Tory, what the fuck? You need to get over this! You know I'm not gay"

"I know, but-"

"No fucking buts. Stop" I say storming back the way we came. I reach the rest of them, and they were fighting about something.

"Where'd you go?" Mason asks. I don't answer, and look around the room.

"Where's Robby?" I ask.

"He went looking for you" Owen says. I raise my eyebrows, and start walking away again.

"Where are you going?!" Hawk yells. I just flip him off, and open the door getting out of the back room.

I turn around the corner, and stop when I see two people there. At that moment, the whole world froze, and so did I.

"What the fuck.." I mumble and try to swallow the lump in my throat.

Tory and Robby let go of their kiss, and look at me.

"Hey Izzy." Tory says waving at me.

"You fucker"

"Izzy, it's not what-" Robby starts.

"It's not like what?! Not like you were just eating Tory?!" I yell.

Robby doesn't say anything.

My eyes started to fill with water, and my body filled with rage, and hate.

"I did every goddamn thing for you.." I say to Robby. He looks down, and I feel every tiny thing I cared about break into a million pieces.

"It's not his fault Izzy" Tory interrupts. I look at her, and try to fight back every urge to swing at her.

"Robbys right, I shouldn't have been kissing your ass because I felt bad" I tell her, "And Sam was right too, you are a jealous bitch"

She doesn't reply, But Robby does.

"Izzy stop, that's enough"

I look at him dead in the eye, trying to keep tears back.

"I'm going to leave, because if I don't, I'll end up doing something I'll regret." I tell him. "I tried. I really did Robby. You can go to hell for all I care anymore" I start walking down the hall, ignoring their shouts.

When I get to my car, I shut off all of my emotions. I got really good at that. I sit there for a minute, processing what just happened when I heard someone yelling my name.

Robby then knocks on my car window, and asks for me to roll it down. I don't reply, drive off quickly and most importantly, not looking back.
