part twelve

Heyy and welcome to the new chapter. This chapter is a little shorter and I have to say I'm not quite satisfied, but I wanted to give you an update anyway :)

Lizzie's POV
When I woke up the next morning, it took me a moment to realize where I was, because I wasn't in my bed.
It wasn't long before I recognized the arm on my bare stomach. A grin immediately appeared on my face.

The sun shines on my face and I could feel the slight warmth as I realized y/n was slowly waking up.
"Good morning princess" she says in her raspy morning voice.
I lift my head and look at her. Her cut on her cheek has turned a little blue, but nothing that couldn't be covered with concealer. I touch it gently with my finger.

"How's your wrist?" she asks me. "Pretty good, hardly hurts at all"
"Perfect" she says and grins at me.

"Last night was amazing" I say and snuggle up to her again as her hand strokes my arms.
"Yes" she says and strokes my fingers, which then play with each other a little.
"You were right, being single really is better"
"I told you so" she says, laughing as our fingers intertwine.

"It's a shame you're already starting the tour tomorrow, I would have loved to make the most of the single life with you a little more"
I lean over her and she comes forward to give me a kiss that quickly becomes intense. She grabs my hips and spins me around so that I'm lying underneath her.
"Why don't you come with us?" she says suddenly.
"What?"
"Come with me on tour" she says, running her fingers over my naked body.
"I can't just come with you"
"Why not? Maya is coming too, so you wouldn't always be alone, we have a lot of free time, we travel around the world in our tour bus, go out partying a lot, drink a lot... so you could really make the most of your single life"
I thought about it for a moment.
That doesn't sound bad.

"And" she whispers in my ear "you and I would have a lot of time together" then she kisses my neck.
"Okay" I suddenly say.
I think this could be really fun. I'm off work anyway and why should I just sit around at home when I have this great opportunity. I love the band and I get on really well with Maya too! So why not!

"Okay?" she asks, looking at me.
"Yes, I'll come with you!" I say.
She grins.
"That's great, we'd probably have to share a room in the hotels..."
"That won't be a problem" I interrupt her and give her a kiss.

After spending the morning in the bedroom, I make my way home to start packing.
I open the front door with a grin on my face, which quickly disappears when I see Robbie standing in the kitchen.

I simply walk past him.
"Lizzie wait"
"I don't want to talk Robbie, pack your things and get out"
This is my house so I have the right to kick him out.
"Can we talk?" I stop. Then I turn to face him.

"We talked yesterday and that was enough for me. The last few months have been enough for me. The decision has been made. You're going to sleep somewhere else tonight. I'll be away for a while tomorrow, so you'll have enough time to clear out all your stuff here and look for a new home. When I come back, everything will be gone, including you!"

Then I turn around again and go upstairs. I get a suitcase out of the cupboard and start packing the first few things. I'm a little overwhelmed, what do you take with you when you're on tour for several weeks?

I open my phone

Lizzie
Omg I didn't know that packing would be so difficult
What do you take with you on a tour like this?

Y/n
You don't need much!
A few outfits, preferably party outfits
Bikinis!!!
Nice underwear 😉

Lizzie
I wasn't actually planning to bring any 😏

Y/n
Sounds even better 🙃

Lizzie
Okay perfect, thanks
see you tomorrow :)

Y/n
See you tomorrow, put on something comfy!

I put my phone aside and start packing my things, then I hear the door. Robbie has left. I go downstairs to make sure. He's gone. A queasy feeling goes through my stomach. It's over. 7 years of relationship just ended. I know it's the right thing to do, but it still feels strange.

I spend the rest of the day packing my bags and talking to my manager on the phone to tell her about my plan.
I told her that I had broken up with Robbie and needed a bit more free time.
She was completely understanding and gave me the next few weeks off.
I didn't have any important filming anyway and the interviews that were planned could easily be postponed.
There are no red carpet events that I have to attend at the moment.

After that, I'll write Scarlett and my siblings. They also have the right to know that it's over with me and Robbie.
As I had expected, they are delighted.
Afterwards, I tell them about the plan to go on tour with the Pulse and they are happy for me.

    "Grab the woman!"
                    "Have fun on your sex vacation!"

These are just a few of the innuendos they made, which made me laugh again.

...

Tonight I couldn't sleep as well as I did last night. I'm lying in bed and it seems pretty cold on my own. Even though Robbie has never done more than lie with his back to me. It feels strange.
All these memories in this house with him. Both good and bad. All the more reason I'm looking forward to leaving tomorrow.

When I woke up dead tired in the morning, I took a shower and applied concealer to my dark circles.
Then I quickly pack the last of my things and put on something comfortable.
Sweatpants and a sweater that is very cozy on the inside.

Y/n
We'll be there in two minutes

She writes to me and I have to say I'm a little nervous.
I'm putting on my shoes and grabbing my jacket when the doorbell rings.
When I open the door, y/n is standing there, also wearing sweatpants, which is the first time I've seen her.
"I didn't know you owned anything like that" I say.
"Well, there's so much you don't know about me, Miss Olsen". That made me laugh. She grabs my suitcases and I close the door behind me.

After she has loaded the suitcase, she opens the door to the tour bus. It's black on the outside and has "the pulse" written on it in red neon lettering.
"Wow, it's great!" I say.

When I go inside, at first it looks like a modern bus, the first half is just normal seats, then a curtain comes up showing the back of the bus. A huge couch, with a kitchen and a small bathroom. It looks very comfortable. That's where I meet the others. Freya, Luke, Kyle, Ethan and Maya, who all hug me in greeting.
"I'm really happy that you're here too" Maya says to me and sits down next to me on the couch.

"It's going to be great, we can lie in the sun and enjoy our lives"
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it" I reply.

The atmosphere on the bus is great! I mean, if I was going on a world tour, I'd be in a really good mood too.

Even though it's still early, there's already party music playing, which somehow makes me happy.
"Okay to the world tour" says Kyle, holding out a beer and we all clink glasses. I've never had a beer at this time before, but it feels good. For me, I'm toasting to my freedom. Robbie has made me withdraw a lot over the last few years, and even though it's hard to throw away a long-standing relationship like that, I think it will do us both good. Maybe it will wake him up and make him realize that he needs to change something for the future and for his future partner. I definitely wouldn't begrudge him that.

Our first stop is Las Vegas. A city I'm looking forward to. A city full of new hopes and new beginnings. And a city full of partying and alcohol.

A city that I already know will be the start of a long, great journey.
