Is It Still You?

Tobias

~In the middle of the Night~

"Lea, wake up." A voice says.
I slowly open my eyes but can't see anything because it's too dark. "Chris?" I say and yawn.
"No it's not Chris. It's me, Tobias." He says. "Come with me." He says taking my hand.
"What, why?" I say confused and crawl out of the bed because I don't want to wake up Chris.
As soon as I close the bedroom door, he takes my hand again and walks upstairs into the kitchen.
"Can you tell me what you want. What time is it?" I ask and look at the clock. "3:40! It's fucking 3:40?!" I whisper hysterically.
"Yeah..I know I'm sorry that I woke you up." He says and scratches the back of his head. "But I need to talk to you." He says.
Lea: "At 3:40 in the morning?! Couldn't you wait till tomorrow morning?"
Tobias: "No cause I need to talk to you alone and the others are always around the house throughout the day."
Lea: "What about going somewhere where they can't hear us and talk there?"
Tobias: "Yeah okay...can we stop thinking about this now? I want to talk to you about something..."
Lea: "Okay..tell me."
He takes a deep breath and starts to talk. "So I wanted to talk about us again. We haven't done that since you chose Chris. I know you chose him and I will probably never have a Chance to get with you but please listen to me." He says.
"Tobias...you know I can't do-" I want to continue but he interrupts me.
Tobias: "Listen to me once! Please give me a Chance I beg you. I don't want anything else more than you. Please,  I promise you won't regret it."
Lea: "Tobias I can't do it. I chose Chris and I don't want to make trouble between us and everyone else. It's the best for all of us."
He looks at me and sighs.
"Fine, I have to leave then..I have no choice." He says.
"Wait what? What do you mean you have to leave?" I ask confused.
"I can't do this anymore, I can't see you with another guy, especially with Chris. He doesn't deserve you. Why can't you see that?" He asks and comes closer.
Lea: "I understand, you are hurt and pissed at him but I chose him because I love him and I want to be with him, you have to accept that."
Tobias: "Good. If that's what you want...I'm leaving."
Lea: "What do you mean by that? Where are you going?"
Tobias: "I'm going tomorrow morning. I'm going back to Italy. I will stay there for a few weeks."
"What no! You can't leave? Can you stop overreacting and think about it again? We can talk tomorrow and see what we can do." I say.
"I'm sorry but I can't do that. I have to go. You chose him so be with him." He says and wants to leave the kitchen.
"Please don't!" I say and hold his arm.
"Let me go. I have to, accept that. I can't do it anymore." He says while a tear drops down his cheek.
"Please don't do it." I say and start to cry.
"Stay with him. You don't need me anymore." He says and leaves the kitchen.
As soon as he leaves the kitchen, I fall to the ground and cry.
"No please not!" I whisper to myself. I stay in the kitchen for what feels like an hour. I start to calm down and once I did I stand up and go to the couch in the living room. I'm lying down and close my eyes, trying to sleep.

~The next morning~

I wake up and rub my eyes. "God I'm so tired" I think to myself and stretch my legs and arms.
I sit up and look around, it's quiet and still a bit dark which means the others are probably still asleep. I stand up and go to Tobias room to see if he's still there. I sigh but open the door and look inside his room but he's not in there. The room is completely empty, every single stuff of his is gone. That's when it hits me...
My eyes widen and I fall to the ground, I start to scream and cry heavily.
"No no no no" I keep repeating to myself.
Suddenly I hear some footsteps and someone comes into the room.
"Lea what's going on? Are you okay?" I hear a voice saying from behind. It's Matt. He sits next to me and holds me tight. "Shhh it's okay, calm down." He says petting my head.
Only a few seconds later I hear footsteps again coming from downstairs...I know it's gonna be Chris.
"Lea what's happening? Why are you crying?" He asks and looks at me.
"I'm so sorry Lea.." Matt says and hugs me tight.
Chris's eyes widen and he looks at Matt.
"What did you do to her? Did you hurt her?" He shouts and pushes Matt to the ground.
"Are you dumb, I would never do that!" Matt yells back.
"Chris stop! Matt didn't do anything." I say still crying.
He stops immediately and looks back to me.
Chris: "Then what's going on? Who made you cry?"
Suddenly Nicks voice appears from behind.
"Where's Tobias? Why is all of his stuff gone?" He asks looking around the room.
Chris looks at me and slightly smiles. "Come here." He says and hugs me tight.
"It's my fault. He went back to Italy and all of this is my fault." I say crying into his chest.
"Wait what!? Italy?! He went back to Italy?!" Nick yells hysterically.
Matt: "Lea I'm sure it's not your fault. Let's go down into the living room and you tell us everything that happened."
"I will wake up Bryan and come downstairs." Nick says and leaves the room.
Chris helps me to stand up and we go out of the room as well and into the living room.
Matt and Chris sit beside me and look at me.
"Tell us everything." Chris says.
"Fine so it started yesterday at ni-" I start to speak but I get interrupted by Nick and Bryan running downstairs.
"Wait for us! I want to know how bad I have to beat him up!" Nick says and sits down on the couch too.
"No one has to beat him up. There is no reason you have to." I say.
Nick: "Lea, he made you cry! That's reason enough for me."
Bryan: "Let her explain first and then we'll see what we do."
"Thanks Bryan." I say and start to explain everything...
