After losing their father and taking over his business they can't help but feel alone, that is until she gets offered a job after going viral online....
"Trouble in paradise?" Nicks voice came from behind me, I turned around to face him "something like that, yeah" I sighed looking back at them. "You wanna talk about it?" He said placing a hand on my arm. I nodded and he motioned for me to follow him. He took me into the sparring ring and I began to explain everything to him, the kiss, her and Dimitri, my feelings for her, everything. My stupid ass got thrown to the floor as I stopped paying attention to Nick for a split second. "Arsehole" I laughed as he helped me up, "You were the one who stopped paying attention to me" he laughed with me "come on then, that's enough training for today" "what?? We've only been training for like ten minutes!" "Sydney it's been an hour" I looked at the clock and it had in fact been an hour so, I decided to take his advice and go home. Demi and Dimitri were stood outside and I just turned my music up to avoid them for the time being. "Syd!!" I could just about hear demi shouting for me. "You're not mad, right?" I looked up at her and shook my head. "I meant what I said Sydney, I don't regret what I did. And I'd do it again if I could..." I stopped walking and looked at her "Demi you can't... You're with him. I don't want to be the one who destroys your relationship. I'm not mad, I just don't think it's best for us to be as close as we were, at least while your taken" I sighed turning around and opening my car. She just stood there, not fighting back, and watched me drive off. The second she was out of view I began to feel the tears fall down my cheeks and I struggled to breathe, I ended up pulling over at the martial arts centre, knowing trav was there doing a class. To my surprise I found Izzy at the reception, she was helping out while he sorted out the classes. The second she saw me her arms wrapped around and she began showing me some breathing exercises so I could calm down. Once my breathing calmed and I stopped crying she sat me down and told me to explain what was wrong, so I told her. "Right, screw that, we're gonna go out, we're gonna get some skin care, some face masks, a shit ton of ice cream and we're gonna have a girls night yeah?" I laughed and agreed with her "...Yeah okay." She finished up all the paperwork that needed to be completed and we bid farewell to trav and the kids, Izzy left her car at the garage so we'd both be in my car, she wanted to drive, so I could let go from reality for a little while. When we arrived at the store she pulled one of my headphones out of my ear and I hadn't even realised that we had driven all the way to the store. We walked around picking up snacks, hair care, bleach, pink and black dye for izzys roots (she had the hidden split dye in black and pink)

We also picked up some facial cleansers and masks, then we paid for everything and began to head home. I couldn't help but stare at the apology messages that demi continued to send me "hun, if you don't stop looking at that phone I'm gonna throw it out the window" Izzy said snapping me out of the almost trance that the phone had pulled me in to. I looked at her pull her face "im sorry. I just can't stop thinking-" "You love her.." I looked at Isabelle in shock "i-" "don't try and make up a lie. You're allowed to love Sydney, I know that Jeremiah made it feel like you can't but you can. And you do. It's killing you that you can't be with her, I can see it." She looked at me for a brief moment before looking back at the road. I sat in silence, I mean She was right, she had basically summed up how I felt perfectly. Once we were home I had cheered up, knowing that we were safe. Our plan was, touch up Izzys roots, put on my hair mask, make my gear together, put on the face masks and binge watch American Horror Story from the beginning.
That's exactly what we did, Izzy now had vibrant hair, my hair was soft as hell, my gear was done and we were not sat in eye and full face masks, watching AHS on disney. We had put on those silly animal face masks and we couldn't help but laugh every time we looked at each other, until we took them off. Izzy always knew exactly how to cheer me up, the entire time I was with her I hadn't thought about demi or the messages or my feelings, none of it. Until Izzy left the room, then it all came back and then gone once she was back. She knew that I was feeling like this, but She didn't want to ruin anything so she didn't say anything.
*time skip*
We had watched AHS for a while and now on season three but I began to notice Izzy falling asleep. Then everything came back, and it hit hard. Once Izzy began to slip into a deeper sleep I could feel my body itching to look at my phone. I tried to fight the feeling I really did, but I couldn't help myself. I opened my phone and forced myself to read all 35 apology messages, every single one, the ones where she was repeating herself, the ones where she blamed herself, the ones where she admitted she wasn't happy without me, and the ones that hurt the most, the ones where she was visibly giving up. It killed me and I couldn't help myself and cried my eyes out, I didn't know how to answer... for a while at least. "Demi. You know how much I care about you. It kills me to back away from you, it really does. But while your with Dimitri we cannot be as close as we were, we've already proved that us being close will cause problems. If there was any way around this I would figure it out. But there isn't. I do not want to be the reason you end your relationship. So for now, we need to keep our distance, we can still talk but, distance." I sent out the message and a few minutes later the 'read' symbol popped up.
