The Rockstar and The Outcast

Chapter 26 During The Break

(CC)

Today had been a blast! We got Georgia out of the house, and had some much needed fun. For the past few days, Peaches has been in her room listening to a mix of 'Gone Forever' by Three Days Grace, 'I Don't Wanna Be In Love' by Good Charlotte, and 'Ashley' by Escape The Fate. Plus on occasion we could hear 'Fake It' by Seether. It was getting pretty depressing around here. It was good to see her in a better mood and to have her mind free of Ashley for once.

Now here I am in front of her, while she is silently sobbing on the swings. I know she must be hurting; I can only imagine. I hate to see her like this because of one of my best friends. I want to punch him, but I know that he is going through just the same amount of or more pain. All of this is the cause of a stupid mistake.

Georgia opens her eyes, and I see the tears welling in them. They are bloodshot and pretty puffy, they seem worse then usual. I ask her what's the matter, and she breaks down. Georgia tells me how much she misses him while she cries on my shoulder. I just hold her and try to calm her down. When she seems to have relaxed a little bit, I decide to push her on the swing. A small smile surfaces on her face and I quietly take a picture.

Jinxx calls us over for dinner, and I give Georgia a piggyback ride over. We sit down and discuss the day. After the great meal, Georgia collects dishes and takes them into her house. This gives Jinxx and I a moment to talk.

"So how's Ashley doing," Jinxx asks me in a whisper.

You see, I have been giving Ash daily reports on Georgia. I haven't told her, because I'm not sure how she would react. So every night I give him a call, and send him a pic or video of Georgia as prof to what I'm saying. If I didn't do this, Ash won't leave me alone. He will call me and text me until he gets an answer.

"He's doing ok, but sounds more miserable," I reply just before Georgia returns.

She grabs the last of the items and goes back to the house. Jinxx is about to say something when we hear a scream. Low and behold Georgia is petrified of junebugs. Jinxx grabs one to shove in her face and she flips out. I "rescue" her and decide to have a movie night. I grab lots of stuff and take it up to my room. She goes to grab some stuff from her room before the movie begins.

While she is gone, I hear my phone go off. I grab it and check the caller ID. It's the one and only Ashley Purdy. I know he wants an update, but Georgia could be back any minute. I deny the call and send him a quick text saying I'll call him back later.

She returns in some of Ashley's stuff, and we begin the movie. Then a girly, smelling Jinxx walks in the room to surrender. Both of us get a good laugh, and we allow Jinxx to join in on the movie.

After a little while Georgia has moved to sit between my legs, with her head resting on my chest. Her legs are across Jinxx's back, and to be honest, she looks pretty cute.

"Hey Jinxx get a picture of this, it'll drive Ashley crazy," I say in a whisper.

Jinxx carefully moves Peach's feet off of him, and takes my phone for the picture. After its taken, I have Jinxx take Georgia to her room. While he dose that I send it to Ash and wait for his response. If you didn't know what we were doing, the picture looks like Peaches, and I are sleeping together.

I hear my phone ring and Ashley's name comes up in the screen. I smirk as u pick it up.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?! We take a break and you are sleeping with my girlfriend," Ashley screams at me. He sounds really pissed, so the picture really did mess with him. Opps

"Dude chill, we are not together. She just fell asleep on me while we were watching a movie," I explain.

"Oh ok, sorry. Its just I miss her so much and I need my Peaches back," a depressed sounding Ashley tell me. "That should be me behind her, and not you."

"I know dude. Don't worry she misses you too though. Heck today she was crying after a really fun day she had, just because she started to think about you," I say.

"Really," a slightly more hopeful Ash asks. "I mean I'm not happy she was crying over me, but she misses me that much?"

"Yeah, but she still isn't 100% ready to forgive you," I reply.

"Ugh CC, how much longer. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take."

"I think only a few more days, that way we can meet everyone in Chicago," I respond.

"Ok," Ashley says after a long pause. "I can't believe I let something like this happen."

"Well at least she still loves you, I do know that much," I say.

"Really, she still loves me? Dude she is to good for me," Ash tells me.

"Yeah, trust me we a know. But she thinks the exact opposite, that your to good for her."

"Yeah, that's my Peaches," I can practically hear him smile into the phone.

"Yeah, just try not to screw up again."

"I don't plain on it," he tells me. "hey could you send another pic or video of Georgia?"

"Yeah," I send him a video that Jinxx sent me of Georgia and I on the jet skis. In the video she is laughing and waving to the camera.

"Awe I miss her so much! It looks like she had fun today with you guys," Ash days after a sigh. "I can't believe I was so stupid."

"I know, you will see her soon enough though," I reply with a yawn.

"Well I'll let you get some sleep, night," Ash said before hanging up.

I set my phone down and got ready for bed. I put on a pair of sweat pants and climbed into bed. Then I passed out.

I woke up with the sun in my face. I grunted and turned away from the bright light that disturbed my sleep. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock. It was only 9:00 too early for me, but I was already awake. So I got up and stretched, hearing my back pop. I stood up and opened my bedroom door, and went out into the hall.

I could a hear a quiet muffled noise coming from Peach's room. So of course I decided to go investigate. I crept down to her room, and slowly turned the door nob. I quietly opened her door and went into her room. It turns out that the noise was 'Disenchanted' by My Chemical Romance. I stepped in and looked around. I saw Jinxx in her bed, sprawled out. I'm guessing that she had a nightmare of some sort.

I saw Georgia sitting on the little balcony she had in her room. She was on a stool with art supplies set out around her, on a tiny fold out table. Paints and all types of brushes littered the surface of the tiny table. There was an easel in front of her. On the easel was a beautiful painting of the lake at sunrise. I didn't know she could paint. Heck for all I knew, She wanted to go to college for a animal related career.

I walked up behind her and put my hand in her shoulder. She didn't jump; she just looked up at me with sad eyes. I bent down and gave her a hug, which she returned.

"What's wrong sweetie," I asked.

"I miss Ash. I had a dream where I was here and something bad happened to him. Where he died and I was here, not with him. CC I couldn't live with myself if something like that happened."

She looked up at me with now tear stained cheeks. I wiped them away and went to pick her up, but when I grabbed her hips she squeaked. I let go and she stood up. Then she pulled up her shorts, so I could see her hips. Each side had a huge purple and black bruise on it, that was about the size of my hand. Around each bruise was some red chaffed skin. owww

"Remember swinging yesterday?"

I nodded my head to confirm.

"Well apparently my hips have gotten a little wider since I have swung last," Georgia kinda smiled while telling me.

I just shook my head. I gently picked her back up again, making sure not to touch her hips. I brought her over to my room and get out my laptop. I saw her give me a confused expression. After the computer was turned on, I went to a site where you order plane tickets.

"Ready to go make up with Ashley Georgia?"
