Only Time Will Tell

advice from scar

Who were you texting? Robbie asks. Just y/n, I say with a huge grin. All Robbie does was hum. " What?" I ask him, confused by his angry face.  "Nothing, you two just seem incredibly close." Robbie, I've known her for a few days, we're just friends. I assure him.

But to be honest, I wasn't completely positive about it. I've only known y/n for a few days but it feels more like a few months. I feel safe with her, and she's so easy to talk to and she understands me. It's good to have someone like that.

"Friends..right." Robbie says, nodding. "I don't know what you want me to say!" I angrily snap back, tired of Robbie's tone. "I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE ASKING LIZ" Shocked at his anger, I slap my hands on the couch and stand up. "I'm not doing this."

Me and Robbie have been having more and more arguments lately for no specific reason. As to it being me working too much, or talking to different people, it all varies. When we first met, Robbie was sweet and understanding, but lately I can't say the same. Robbies mother died, so I keep telling myself it's because of that.

"Doing what Liz?" I hear Robbie coming back out from where I had just left. "ARGUING! IM JUST SO- SO TIRED OF IT, ITS DRAINING ROBBIE." I start sobbing, I truly hating fighting with Robbie. He was the love of my life, and I didn't know what I'd do without him..or did I?

"I'm so sorry baby.." I hear Robbie quietly apologizing. I turn around to face him, his head is turned down to the floor rubbing his forehead with his hands. "I know you'd never do that to me." "No. I wouldn't." I assure him. I decide to give him a hug, as he's clearly in distress.

I'm woken up by the sound of my loud alarm. It's around 8 am, me and Robbie went back to bed after last night's events and didn't talk about it. I groaned, and got out of the bed. Robbie was nowhere to be found, so I just went to take my shower and get dressed. I put on some black pants, with a tee, black jacket and more black boots. I then went downstairs to grab a bite to eat before I went over to Scarlett's.

Opening the fridge, I see a note.

Liz,
I went out to spend some time with the band, I probably won't be back until later tonight so don't wait up for me!

After reading I snatched the paper, crumbled it up, and threw it into the trash. Making my way to my car, I texted y/n and headed to Scarlett's. Getting out of my car, I'm greeted by a very excited Rose and Scarlett. "Hi sweetheart!" I bend down to Rose's height and pulled her into a hug.

"Hi Lizzie!" Hey Scar, I say with a fake smile. "Okay, what's wrong?" W-what do you mean? I ask. "Lizzie, I know when your putting on your fake smile. Come on, there's obviously something going on, you can tell me."

"It's robbie.." Scarlett puts on a show for Rose and brings me inside the kitchen. "What did he do?" We just uh- the arguments..they're becoming more frequent.." I explain to her, my eyes starting to glisten. "Are you unhappy?" W-what? "Are you unhappy, Lizzie?" I-I don't know. I didn't, honestly. Robbie made me happy in ways I thought no one else could, but he also made me the unhappiest I've ever been.

Scarlett, it's so complicated. I say before breaking out into a sob, and she pulls me into her chest. "Let it all out honey." Scarlett was the type of friend who didn't push for answers, and I loved that about her.  After a few minutes of straight sobbing, I get myself straight and begin to tell her what had happened.

"You both need to communicate." I nod. Robbie was never good at it. He always would argue, and never talk about it again the next day. Which I believe is part of the problem. Scarlett goes on to give her advice, and I agree with everything she says. "Thank you Scar, honestly." I thank her and pull her in for another hug before I leave. "Call me if you need anything, alright?" I will! I yell while heading to the car.

I decide to get some fast food. I decided on McDonald's, the line was pretty long so I texted y/n.

hey y/n, what's up?

hey liz!

Well that was quick.

hey, Liz, could you call me? we need to talk

sure!

I decide to FaceTime her instead.

"Hey stranger!" Y/n cheerfully says. Hello to you too! "Liz, I leave tomorrow." I couldn't help but feel upset at y/n's words. Why hadn't she told me sooner? I need to stop, we only have been friends a few days, she shouldn't feel obligated to tell me everything.

"What?" I say, a bit of upset in my tone. "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner, I was only able to stay here a week before I had to get back to work." She explains and then I remember. Right, she's a docter. Of course she had to get back. "Oh.."

There's silence between us until I get an idea. "Well, if it's your last day then we should go out, just you and me!" I state. "I think that's a great idea. Where do you wanna go?" Hmm, how about you leave that to me and I'll just pick you up. "Alright then." she agrees.

I truly hope this goes well.
