Chapter 4

"I'm so sick of second-best! I'm so sick of not impressed."

Fitz sighs, rubbing his face with a towel as he left the gym. He turns around and looks at Jensi, "Lock up when your done. Okay?" Jensi nodded gave him a mock salute before turning around to head back into the gym. Fitz turns back around and sees Sophie, looking at him with such guilt. "Hey Sophie...Is there something you need to tell me?" He asked. Sophie looked down, shifting a bit and tugs on her eyelashes. "Ah...Fitz...I-I don't know how to say this but...I think we should break up." Fitz blinks. "Wh-what?..."

Sophie tugged on her eyelashes harder. "It's just. We've both been so busy and I lost my old feelings for you. Don't get me wrong, your amazing and your one of my best friends but...I think we're better as friends." She whispered the last part. Fitz stayed silent, still shocked. Then the thoughts came back.

Stupid. Your stupid. You pushed her away and now your friendship is gonna be worse than before! You didn't give her enough attention, your not enough!

Of course he wasn't enough...

"...I'm sorry, Fitz-"

"Who is it?" Fitz asked, Sophie's face twist in confusion. "What?"

"Who is the new person you like?" He asked again, "I understand, I'm not mad at you for breaking up...I just want to know who..." Sophie bite her lip, rubbing her arm. "Soph...Please, It's gonna bother me." He begged, grabbing her hand and squeezing it slightly. Sophie looks at their hands and opens her mouth but then someone calls her. "Foster! Are you..." Fitz snapped his head up and saw Keefe, looking a bit pale seeing Sophie and Fitz. Fitz stares at him and sighs, letting go of Sophie hand. "It's him...isn't it?" He asked, not looking at Sophie. "Yea..." Sophie said, looking at him then back at Keefe, "How long?"

"Half way through our first year..." Fitz sucked in a breath, feeling a pit in his stomach form. "And you couldn't tell me sooner?" He chocked.

"Fitz-"

"You lead me on for that long?" Fitz asked. Sophie tugged on her eyelashes again, "Fitz I didn't mean it like that! Your amazing but I just...I just like Keefe more. I'm sorry okay, for leading you on." Fitz just looked at her, feeling to much to really say anything. He just stares at her, until turning around and tightening his crossed arms, "Yea...Congrats. Hope you both are good to each other." And before Sophie could say anything else Fitz left, speed walking away.

Fitz could feel his tears streaming on his face as he ran from them, thank god no one was in the halls. He continued to run until he found himself in the music room. He shut the door, locked it and dropped on the ground, covering his face and started silently crying. It's weird...He knew that he lost feelings for her a while but...It still hurt like hell, somehow...Fitz sat there, curled up and silently crying for who knows long. But when stopped he saw the sun setting a bit, Fitz scowled slightly. Crap, he was gonna arrive late and scolded.

Fitz gets up, taking his phone out and turning his camera on and begins to check his appearance when something in the corner of his eyes catches his attention.

It was an old violin. Well, wasn't that old looking but it was a bit dusty. It was sitting on a stand, as if someone forgot to put it back in case. Fitz walks up to it and touches the strings, it's been a while since he actually played a violin...His parents were still trying to find a new teacher after his other...well hit him but it was justified. The hit. Fitz sudden picked up the violin and it's bow and went into the starting position, he closed his eyes and began to play a song...I song he remembered hearing.
