Imperfectly Perfect [Book 1] ~ {A TBNRfrags fanfic} COMPLETED

23- Caitlins POV

Preston and I meet everybody back in the kitchen a few minutes later, and we sneak out the door. Vikk and Lachlan have their backs to us with their feet in the pool.

"Vikk; I am truly sorry... I shouldn't have cheated on you. My behavior was inexcusable." Lachlan says, looking down. "I understand if you don't want me back, but I really love you, and Rob forced me-"

"What?" Vikk asks.

"Rob forced me to cheat on you. I guess he was jealous of our relationship, and things weren't going well between Poofless at the time..."

I feel Preston tighten up next to me, so I hold his hand for comfort.

Vikk thinks for a while, and finally says the words, "I forgive you." Vikk pulls Lachlan in for a kiss, and I smile.

"Caitlin, I need to talk to you." Mitch whispers next to me. I follow him inside.

"What?" I ask.

"Rob texted me, and he wants to talk to you."

My eyes widen... He wants to talk to me? "Okay."

Rob moved to my town for a few months when we were children, and we were really good friends. Sadly, he moved back to Canada when his father got a better job.

"Here's his Skype." Mitch says, handing me a piece of paper.

"Thanks." I respond.

I go up to the guest bedroom and Skype Rob from my phone. A few rings later, he answers. His face pops up on my screen.

"Hello?" He asks.

"Hey, Rob. It's Caitlin, what's up?" I ask.

"Nothing much, just getting off of my plane."

"Wait, are you here?" I ask.

"In St. Petersburg, yes. Mitch is going to pick me up."

"Oh no. No no no no no." I say, head in my hands.

"What's wrong?" Rob asks, concerned.

"What did Mitch tell you?" I ask.

"That I could come down for a week or too." He responds slowly.

"Well, the whole pack is here." I say, looking up.

"Including Preston?" Rob asks, looking scared now.

"Including Preston." I confirm.

"Oh no." He responds, head in his hands. "What am I going to do!?"

"I don't know..." I reply. There is a few moments of silence, but I decide to ask, "So why did you cheat on Preston?"

Rob looks at me, and responds with the one answer I wasn't expecting. "Mat forced me. He told me that if I continued to date Preston, he would kill my friend since childhood, Chelsea. I think I have feelings for her... And now Mat has forced me to date him, and I really don't want to." He says.

I remember the name Mat from somewhere... He couldn't have been THAT Mat... Could he?

"I just want Preston and I to be friends again... I liked him and all, but I really love Chelsea." Rob says.

"I know... I just don't know how Preston will react to all this..."

"You sound like you're married to him or something." Rob states. I blush. Suddenly, Rob's eyes widen. "You're not married to him, are you?" He asks.

"No, I'm not. We're dating; he asked me out today, but we've had a thing for a while."

"Awwwww..." Rob responds.
