Spring Break

21 %

The car journey was silent all the way to Charlotte's house. No one wanted to speak because it would just end with someone crying. Tyler shouted at Charlotte saying that she was just as bad as her terrible friend for rejecting Thomas, even though Aubrey didn't say NO. She was just completely star struck that her teen-aged crush who she had pinned up on her walls asked out! Thomas just left, he didn't turn up for their show so they had to cancel. Dan tried talking some sense into the rest of the boys but they didn't listen, they kept blaming it all on Aubrey.

Tomorrow she would have to go to school and forget everything that happened at The Gorge, it was turning out to be a great spring break all that she ever dreamed it would be. They pulled in front of Charlotte's mansion, still no one spoke. Charlotte started to speak but she stopped herself and gave Aubrey a weak smile, she slipped out of the truck door grabbing her pink suitcase.

"Thanks for driving me home Aubs, call me if you want to talk. We need to have a girly sleepover some time. Remember Aubs call me if you need anything!" Charlotte called as she started walking up her drive.

"I will!" Aubrey shouted back as she started to drive off home.

The drive to her Aubrey's house was filled with thoughts. Mainly to do with Thomas and how she messed up a possible perfect relationship with him. Sammy was leaving later today to go back to Australia for his gap year and Aubrey had to drive him to the airport. Aubrey pulled her orange creep mobile into her drive. She slipped out of the drivers seat and decided to leave her bags in her truck.

"Hey Aubs, how's the new boyfriend?" Sammy said when he saw Aubrey walk through the door, he had a huge grin on is face but when he saw Aubrey's face his grin disappeared. She ran to her brother and hugged him, Sammy's arms tightened around his little sister holding her closely.

"OK what happened with you? Who did this? Who do i have to punch?" Sammy said angrily as he placed Aubrey down onto the couch.

"Nobody it's nothing, please don't punch anyone it won't make it an better. " Aubrey stuttered.

"OK then why are you so upset, was it that boy from that band you like?" Sammy asked wanting to know the answer.

"Yes it's Thomas, he said something and then stormed off, now the whole band hates me!" Aubrey said starting to cry.

"OK, well my flight leaves at 8 pm so we can go and get ice cream like we used to when one of us was upset." Sammy said trying to cheer up his little sister.

"Umm.. yeh that would be nice, thank you Sammy." Aubrey said showing a small smile.

Sammy wrapped his arm around Aubrey's shoulders and pulled her out of the living room to the driveway outside their house. They decided to walk to the mall so that they could talk about what happened.

(A/N This bit is in 1 st person because i wanted it in Thomas's POV)

Thomas's POV

I know i messed up, big time. I really like Aubrey, why did i have to screw it up by asking her out, she obviously didn't want to date me now or even at all. It took me hours to cool down after i stormed out, I couldn't stand being embarrassed in front of people and to add to the fact that i was super stressed out about the show, in which we never did. I had to talk to Aubrey and settle things, I spoke to Tyler who had Charlotte's number and she said that whenever Aubrey was upset she would go and binge on ice cream at Giovanni Gelato at the local mall. It was the best chance i had at finding her. I asked Dan if i could borrow his car and drive there he said yes, i was already on my way.

I pulled into the parking lot right in front of the gelato, there sat at one of the white round tables was Aubrey. She wasn't eating anything, she was just sitting and thinking, she hadn't noticed me yet. I undid my seat belt and sifted in the drivers seat thinking about what to say. I made up my mind, i am going to say that i'm sorry and i hope that we can still be friends.

Just as i opened the drivers door a tall thin blonde boy sat down next to Aubrey, she smiled when he touch her arm. Was he her boyfriend? Was he the reason why she said no to me? I didn't have to meet him to know i hated him! He kept touching her arm or hand, she kept smiling at his touch. I couldn't hear what they were saying but i knew it was probably about me. Aubrey started crying, the blonde boy who weirdly looked quite a bit like me hugged Aubrey pulling her into his chest. They hugged for a while, every second they hugged made me more and more annoyed, i contemplated whether or not to go in and punch the blonde kid in the face, i decided better not. Instead i took about ten photos on my phone for future evidence. Aubrey started to stand up and walk towards the door, i started the engine and reversed the car out of the parking lot, i needed to know where she lived so that i could speak to her tomorrow. Without thinking i followed Aubrey and the boy back to a house in the Roosevelt estate, their on the driveway was Aubrey's rusty orange truck.

I scrambled around the glove box for a pen and wrote down her address on my hand. Ten minutes later the blonde boy came out of the house and grabbed Aubrey's bags from her truck then he carried them back inside. Luckily he didn't notice me. I decided that i would come back tomorrow and speak to Aubrey, my phone vibrated in my pocket, it was Dan.

Dan - Hey Tom when are you coming back it's just that i need to borrow the car :D

Me - I'm coming back now :)

Dan - OK thanks dude, how's Aubs?

Me- How did you know i was going to see Aubrey?

Dan- Tyler told me. Hurry up dude i need to go :P

Me - OK I'm on my way, dude chill :P

I started the car and pulled off the curb, it would take 20 minutes to get to our hotel that we were staying at, I started to plan my apology.
