I woke up the next morning, my eyes still puffy from crying and only getting 3 hours of sleep. I stayed in my bed all day. I lied to my mom and told her I was sick, so she would call the studio and tell them I wasn't coming today. Around 10:30am, Alli walked into my room. When she saw what a mess I was, she came rushing over and sat on my bed next to me. She hugged me, not letting to for a while.

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"Why are you sorry? It's not like you did anything wrong?" I said wiping my nose.

"I know. But still. I heard the conversation last night. Cody wasn't too smart and had his phone on speaker phone with his door open. And my door was open too."

Tears fell from my eyes again. "I don't even know. Like, was he saying 'goodbye' like clicking off the phone good bye? Or was he telling ME goodbye." My voice was cracking.

Alli frowned. "I don't know love.

Listen, I'll be back later. Okay? I need to go back to my house for a little." Alli hugged me once more and walked out.

Alli P.O.V

I walked out of Sophia'a house and back over to mine. Sure, she was my bestfriend, but she really needed to stop kissing any guy that she wants to. Especially if she wants to make a big deal when Cody kisses another girl.

In my house I heard Cody singing in his room. It was a tune I didn't recognize. When I walked up stairs I realized it was a new song he was writing. Bored, I walked into my room and got my kindle out to read. Later, I'd ask Cody about him and Sophia, I decided.

After about an hour of reading I went downstairs for a snack. Cody was in the kitchen eating the Cheez-Itz I was planning in eating. Now is the perfect time to ask him.

"Cody?" I asked and stood on the opposite side if the counter.

"Alli." He smirked

"I heard you talking to Sophia last night.."

"And?"

"The way you ended the conversation. We're you saying goodbye like as in ending the conversation? Or goodbye to your relationship?" I grabbed the Cheez-Itz box from him.

He sighed. "I don't know."

"Cody."

"It's not fair Alli! I kiss a girl once and she flips! I let her get away with so much shit! I'm tired if it. I just need a break."

"How about you tell Sophia that?"

"I will." He grabbed the box of Cheez-Itz and walked out of the kitchen.

Sophia P.O.V

I laid on my bed for the rest of the day. I was dreading leaving my room but knew I'd have to at some point if the day. I got up and went into my bathroom to take a shower. I decided to fill the tub and take a bath instead. I needed to clear my mind. About 45 minutes later, I got out.

While looking through my closet for something to wear I found my Acid wash booty shorts. I paired them with a purple bandeau and put a loose cream colored tanktop over it. I dried my hair and put it in a messy bun.

The clock on my wall said 2:56pm. I could hear Logan and his friends playing COD in the room next to mine. I walked out of my room and into the kitchen. For 'breakfast' I had an apple and protein shake. There was a note on the table.

'Sophia,

Marley, Dan and myself are out shopping and won't be back till later tonight. Love you. Text me so I know when you get this.'

I texted my mom to let her know I was alive. And the doorbell rang.

Cody P.O.V.

I threw the Cheez-Itz box in the trash can by the curb and walked up to Sophia's front door. I stood there for a few minutes trying to think of what to say. Once I finally got myself together, I rang the doorbell.

I stood there for a few minutes then I heard someone walking towards the door. The lock clicked and the door opened. Sophia was standing in front of me.

"Sophia."

"Cody?" We spoke at the same time.

She avoided looking directly at me.

"Can we please talk?" I asked her.

"Sure. Come on in. Would you liked anything to drink?" She closed the door behind me.

"No. I'm good. Thanks though." I followed her outback, onto the patio. I sat across from her.

We sat there in silence for a few minutes. "Listen. Sophia." I said after a couple minutes.

"What?" She still wouldn't look at me.

"I really think we need to take a break."

I saw her eyes change. The sparkle that was usually there, wasn't. They looked glossy. Like she was holding tears back.

"Oh." She barely said loud enough for me to hear.

"I'm sor-"

"Don't." She cut me off. For the first time so looked at me. I could see the sadness in her eyes.

"Go.

Please." Once again, I could barely heard her. I saw a tear roll down her cheek. I leaned over, kissed her forehead, and got up.

"Goodbye Sophia." She was just zoned out.

I felt horrible for it, but I left her sitting out there.

Logan and his friends were walking into the living room as I walked out.

"Hey Bro!" Logan yelled a little too loud.

I cringed and said a quiet hello and left.

Sophia P.O.V.

Cody left about 45 minutes ago, and I was still sitting outback. I hadn't moved at all. My mind was blank. I should have known it was coming. I didn't want to believe it though.

Over and over I broke his trust and he continued to give me more chances. But I blew them all. I remember the day I met him. I was walking home and I saw him. I thought he looked lost and walked up to him rambling about god knows what. I couldn't keep my thoughts straight. He just took my breath away.

I fell in love with Cody Simpson.

No. Not the teenager heart-throb.

I fell in love with a boy that loves to surf. A boy who's passion was singing. And he was one of the many, trying to find their way in Hollywood. That's the boy I fell in love with.
