Heyy and welcome to the new chapter
How are you doing?
_____________

Lizzie's POV
After partying, Scarlett, Cole, Hailee and I went out for a bite to eat because we were just craving burgers, so we stopped at a local diner.
As we were enjoying our burgers, Hailee couldn't take her eyes off her phone. She kept having to stifle a grin.

"Someone is texting with a certain Luke!" says Scarlett, a little as if she was enjoying it.
"Maybe" says Hailee.
"You and Luke? The one from the band?" asks Cole.
"Yeah babe, that was more than obvious, didn't you see them?" asks Scarlett.
"I didn't think anything of it"
"Men" Scarlett just says and I laugh.

"He asked if I'd like to watch a rehearsal these days"
"Say yes!"
"Finally a good point" Scarlett said and looked at her soon to be husband.

"But that's really weird, because watching alone..." then she thought about it for a moment
"Why don't you come with me Lizzie?"
"What? No way!"
"Why? You're so good with y/n, it's because of you that we know her in the first place"
"Yes, you can support Hailee, you'll be chatting to y/n in the meantime" says Scarlett, grinning at me a little sheepishly.
"Do it for your friend" Cole says.
"Fine, I'll do it"
"Thaaaanks" says Hailee and smiles at me.

...

When I get home, I try to be quiet so as not to wake Robbie, even though he never bothers to do that. I go to the fridge for a quick drink of cold water. Then I go into the bathroom to get ready for bed.
"Heyy" Robbie says, hugging me from behind as I'm removing my make-up.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up"
"It's okay" he says and kisses my cheek.
"If you're awake anyway..." he says and turns me around and starts kissing me.

He doesn't ask how it was or how I'm doing. But at that moment, I don't care.

I slept with him.
Not because I wanted to, I'm dead tired and would just like to fall into bed.

I feel guilty.
I almost slept with y/n earlier, so I have to make it up to him somehow. If I rejected Robbie now, I'd feel even worse. So I slept with him. It doesn't take long and he's done. I just let him do it to me and then he falls asleep again, on his side of the bed, while I lie here naked in bed and think of y/n. The kisses and the touches.
And I fall asleep to these thoughts.

The next morning, when I look at my phone, I see that I have a message.

Hailee
Heyyy
We can watch tonight around 5pm

Lizzie
Great!
Shall I pick you up?

Hailee
Gladly!!!
Thanks again

Lizzie
Not for that :)

I'm getting ready and having breakfast when Robbie comes into the kitchen.
"Good morning" he says and surprisingly gives me a kiss.
He sits down with me and we have breakfast together. We don't talk much, but it's a step forward.
"I'm meeting Hailee later" I tell him.
"Okay" he says and reads the news.

...

The day was relatively relaxed, I did a bit of cleaning and went shopping.

My cell phone vibrates.

Hailee
Omg I don't know what to wear

Lizzie
Wait, I'll come over earlier

Hailee
What have I done to deserve you

I quickly got dressed too. I opted for my black leather pants and a black top. I let my hair down, I don't know if I'll regret it, because of the heat.
