NOAH'S POV

i was still awake focusing on writing some songs, i knew i needed to go to sleep but didn't care, thank god i didn't because i got a call from ivy
"hello?" i say obviously confused
"noah.." her voice strained, i could tell she had been crying
"what's wrong, where are you?" i ask panicking looking for my keys
"zach and i got into a fight, we are taking a break and he left me in town, im at this little market sitting all by myself crying" she says practically sobbing
"send me the location, i'll be there soon" i run out of my trailer and to my truck as fast i can, i speed all the way to the little market and jump out of my truck running inside, once i get there, she stands up and comes running over to me, she hugs me so tight.
"thank you" she says sobbing into my chest
i took her back to the hotel room, she still had a copy of the key so once she got into the hotel room, she saw zach sitting there, i was outside of the hotel room hiding incase of an emergency, the door remained open

IVY'S POV

i saw zach sitting there on the edge of the bed facing away from me, my eyes started to water again and i could feel tears, i gathered everything and zach spoke
"where you going?" he ask me in a stiff voice
"not sure yet, i just needed my stuff" i sniffle and he stands up and walks so close to me
"why did you say this today?" he says and i could tell he had been crying
"because it was all too fast for me." i begin to walk out
"will we ever be together again." he ask and i stop, without looking at him i say
"possibly, i just need some time to process it all." i say touching his shoulder and starting to walk out
"goodbye v" i smile
"bye z" i walk out and shut the door, noah takes my bags and my dress and we walk out to his truck
"where are we headed?" he ask me
"i don't have anywhere to stay, i'll probably just crash at someone's house" i look out the window and call some people, one person answers but tells me they are not home
"can you just drop me off at the airport, i'll stay there for the night" i tuck my head into my shoulder
"no, you can come back to the stadium and crash with me, if zach flips out then that is his fault for stranding you" i smile and put my hand on his shoulder
i am so tired and once we get there i crash on his trailer couch and he sleeps in his bed, i wake up the next morning to so many phone calls and text from the people i tried calling last night, i started calling every back

liv-
"IVY ARE YOU OKAY?" she responds out of breath
"i'm with noah, zach left me and i'm flying out in two days" i rub my eyes
"okay, let me know when you get here and i'll come pick you up, i'm so sorry ivy, i love you so much" her voice strains
"thanks livy" i could see noah waking up

megan-
"GIRL! IM SO SOREY! WAS IT ME? WAS IT WHAT I SAID?? IM SO SORRY! CAN I COME PICK YOU AND YOU CAN COME STAY WITH ME? PLEASE DONT LEAVE BECAUSE OF HIM!" i try to hide my laugh
"it's okay meg, don't even worry, i would love to stay with you, could you come pick me up? also i need clothes so can we go shopping on the way back?" i giggle a little
"OF COURSE! i'm on the way right now! i'll be there in about 30 minutes!" i say goodbye and hang up

morgan-
"so sorry about everything, we are on the way to pick you up"

mackenzie-
"did you do something to my brother?" she says so defensively
"no i didn't kenz, we just needed a small break"
"okay, also it's good to talk to you again"
we talk for a little while and then i hang up, i start getting ready for meg and morgan to come pick me up and tell noah where i am going

"hey, megan and morgan are here to come pick me up, i'm gonna crash there for a few days and then fly back home, and then i gotta go visit my sister so i probably won't see y'all again for at least a few months." i see his face go stiff
"A FEW MONTHS?" he says shocked
"i just can't be here for the rest of my life" i say almost doubting myself
"i understand, just keep in touch" i smile and give him a small hug and then throw on my trucker hat and a hoodie to hide from the paparazzi, i get into the car and a driver is driving with morgan in the front and me and megan in the back
"i'm so so sorry about everything ivy" she hugs me and i could tell she was genuinely upset
"it's okay megan, thanks for lending me a hand" i smile and we drive to a mall, of course there is so many paparazzi so i try to hide again but morgan and megan do not care
"ignore them." morgan says to me
once we walk inside there was little to no people and we went walking around, i bought a few things and we were heading out when i ran into the one person i did NOT want to run into.
the woman zach cheated on me with and then married and then divorced to get back together with me.
i looked at her and recognized her right away, i gasped and megan asked what was wrong, my body became stiff, she looked at me and then i tried to hurry out of there as quick as possible, she stopped me.
"your ivy." she looks at me shocked, i try walking away but she stops me
"i'm so sorry." i inhale and walk away so quickly, she doesn't follow, as soon as we got into the car i started crying again, megan grabbed my hand and tried to call me down, but i just really missed zach, even though it has been one night, being apart from him had made me miss him so much.
could i seriously live without zach any longer?
