Badass meets Bad Boy

129

Ross: Aubrey, what's going on?

Aubrey: Nothing!

Ross: Fine.

Aubrey: Where's Ryder?

Ross: Your mums with...him?

Aubrey: Ok.

Aubrey walks out knowing her father lied to her face. She walks downstairs and lies down on the sofa. Laura walks in.

Laura: Hey sweetie.

Aubrey sighs.

Aubrey: Hey...

Laura puts down her bags and sits next to her.

Laura: What's wrong?

Aubrey: Dad lied to me.

Laura gasps.

Laura: About what?

Aubrey: Saying Ryder's with you. But no, he's at boarding school.

Laura's shocked.

Laura: H-how do you k-know?

Aubrey fills with attitude.

Aubrey: I can read.

Laura sighs.

Laura: I'm sorry A. We should've told you, but Ryder didn't want us too.

Aubrey's eyes fill with tears.

Aubrey: I-it's c-cool.

Laura: Aw, sweetie. You can cry if you want to.

Aubrey: No, I ain't a pussy. I don't cry...ever.

Laura gives her a look.

Aubrey: Ok I only cry when it's ok.

Laura: Then why won't you cry now?

Aubrey: Because Ryder wouldn't want me to cry over this. He'd want me to be happy for him. Don't get me wrong, but I'm really happy for him. Just disappointed he didn't want me to know.

Aubrey looks down. Laura knows she's hiding something.

Laura: What aren't you telling me?

Aubrey sighs.

Aubrey: Nothing.

Laura: Now you're lying to my face.

Aubrey sighs.

Aubrey: Yea...I guess I am.

With that Aubrey gets up off the sofa, walks up to her room, grabs her guitar and songbook then walks downstairs and out the house and off to the park.

Once Aubrey got there she sat under a tree that was by a pond and the tree was really shady so she wouldn't burn in the sun. She got her guitar out of her case and started strumming. What she didn't know is that some certain people were watching her.

Aubrey sings and plays La La Land by Demi Lovato. Once she finishes she hears slow clapping she turns around to see Jessica and Amber (Jessica's best friend). Aubrey's voice turns sour and bitter.

Aubrey: What do you want?

Jessica smirks.

Jessica: You know exactly.

Aubrey's confused.

Aubrey: I do?

Amber: Yea you do!

Aubrey: Well then I'm sure you'd love to just rub it in my face.

Amber: Jessica WANTS Terrance! God how stupid can you get?!
