Only Time Will Tell

heartbreak and relief

"we're engaged, we're engaged.."

Those words kept running through my head. I felt sick to my stomach, and angry. The smug smirk on Robbie's face only added fuel to my anger.

I needed to remember that Liz and I weren't together, she wasn't mine.

I was still standing there, looking like a lost puppy. Staring at how Robbie would squeeze her ass every few seconds. I needed to get out of there. Finally bringing myself to move, I ran. As fast as I could before I did something stupid.

"Y/n!" I hear Liz call me, and for the first time, I don't listen.

I quickly got into the car and didn't look back. Slamming my hands onto the wheel. I didn't even realize how late it had gotten, I was too angry to care.

It felt like my world had been shattered into a million pieces. My heart felt twisted, and I was choking on multiple sobs.

Why did I have to feel this way?

I then pulled off, not caring about anything in the moment. I definitely was speeding, but didn't even realize it.

Making it home, I jumped out of the car, still sobbing, and walked inside, sliding down the door and putting my head into my knees.

"Oh gosh, Y/N!" I hear Hailee cry out.

She pulls me into a hug, but I flinch, remembering how Liz had hugged me earlier that day.

"Please, no.."

"Y/n, what happened? Talk to me please."

"I'm s-so tired.."

Hailee sighs and sits beside me, putting an arm around my neck, doing everything in her power to comfort me without urging for answers.

It's been a week  since I saw Liz. Me and Hailee broke it off. I hated leading her on, and I couldn't love her in the way she needed me to.

After realizing my feelings for Liz, I've started distancing myself from her. I absolutely hated seeing her and Robbie together. Articles didn't help either.

My mother's funeral is in two days, so I've been focusing on preparing myself for that. I've been spending more time with the twins, we've become pretty close lately. They told me that Liz leaves in a few days to go film for her series, "Sorry For Your Loss."

I hated not seeing her, but it was for the best. I needed to be strong for the funeral and Kevin. He's never been good at dealing with grief.

I'm supposed to be meeting the twins in an hour, so I needed to start getting ready for that. I went with my usual jeans and a cropped sweater, putting my hair into a bun.

I had some time to kill, so like always, I put on an episode of The Vampire Diaries.

Once finishing the episode, enough time had passed and I was ready to go. We were meeting at a small cafe just a few blocks away.

Hopping in the car, I decided to put on a different playlist. The one I usually played reminded me of Liz too much and I hated that.

I parked by the cafe and made my way in, seeing the twins already sitting at a table. They quickly noticed my presence as I walked in. "Over here y/n!"

A huge grin appeared on my face, "Hey Ash, hey Mk!"

I loved spending time with them, after hearing the news about Robbie and Liz's engagement, they were extremely upset. I was so out of it one night, I appeared on their doorstep, drunk, asking for Liz. I opened up to them, and they've been there for me ever since.

"How are you doing today?" Mk asks me while I take a seat.

"Better than usual." I respond with a small laugh.

I guess I wasn't very convincing by the look on their faces. It's true, I was still upset about everything.

"Okay, maybe still upset, but I am doing better than before."

"And Liz?"

Letting out a small sigh, "I haven't spoken to her I jus-i just can't."

"I understand, but y/n, Robbie has completely brainwashed Lizzie. I've seen how she looks at you. It's completely different from the way she looks at Robbie."

"I agree." Mary Kate adds on. "But our sister is so stubborn, she'll deny her feelings for forever if someone doesn't talk to her."

"She doesn't have feelings for me."

"Y/n. Are you both blind?"

"Jeez Mk!" I say with a chuckle.

We all are a laughing mess until I see Mk get a call, that makes her expression change quickly. "I'll be right back."

Walking outside, I answer my phone.  "Hey Lizzie."

"Hey Mk.."

I couldn't say I wasn't upset with my sisters actions, because I was. Robbie was a terrible person, and she accepted the proposal.

"So.. what are you doing?"

"I'm out with Ash and y/n."

"Oh, well, I wanted to let you know that me and Robbie leave tomorrow. We're gonna push the wedding to March."

"What? March? I thought it was June.

"Well.. Robbie wanted the wedding to be sooner.."

"What the fuck Lizzie? Robbie is a fucking idiot and a cheater, and your happily getting married to this moron? Do you even realize what your doing?" I try to leave out anything about y/n's feelings, so she can tell Lizzie herself. 

"I- I'm sorry but-"

"No, no. Lizzie, you need to figure your things out, and quickly."

I hung up before Lizzie could say anything else, fed up with the bullshit. Why would she be going back to him?

Heading back to the table, I dreaded telling Ash and y/n the news, but I had to. "I'm back."

"Took you long enough." Ash says with a chuckle.

Y/n didn't say anything, I felt like she knew something was wrong.

"Lizzie just called me." I decided to be straightforward. 

"Oh.." I hear y/n say quietly. "What'd she say?"

"They're moving their wedding to March and she's leaving for LA tomorrow."

Y/n looks distraught, she doesn't say anything, but stares down at the table.

"Y/n?"

"It's fine. I'm fine, she made her choice."

This was between y/n and Lizzie, but that didn't mean I was gonna let my sister marry that man.

"No, she hasn't."
