Chapter 5
The two days that I had to decide flew by…and I didn’t decide – I haven’t decided. I really just can’t. You’d think this would be anything but a hard decision, to follow my heart, but my mind keeps introducing new ‘What if’ scenarios and my fear is just growing and growing with every second that passes by.
‘What if I leave and never see him anymore because of the fame and fortune?’
‘What if we break up and articles appear saying I’m the bad guy?’
‘What if I am the bad guy…?’
‘What if fans see us break up and start hating on me so much more?’
‘What if my classmates find out and hate me?’
‘What if he never even tries to see me again?’
‘What if this just ruins everything for us?’
‘What if I lose four of my best friends because of the break up?’
“Abigail the car is ready; we’ll be on our way to the airport in fifteen!” My mom called to me. I blinked a couple times and shook my head, coming back to my senses. I had been sat on my old bed near my window looking off into the horizon where the sky was clear and blue and warm.
I was going to miss Aussie since of course it is my home… but new adventures are always fun. Plus I hear that the weather in the US is so much different… oh but what if it’s a drastic change…? More ‘what if’s.
I heard the slam of a car door outside and looked down at the driveway. It was a panicking Devy… and that was never a good sign. She rushed into my house and I leaned my head on my window to try and keep an eye on her.
“Abigail! Abigail he’s going to the airport!” Dev screeched as she burst through my bedroom… well technically my “ex bedroom”… door.
“Bu – Wait…” I swallowed hard, trying to process her announcement and then shot up from my spot on my bed.
“What!? Why!?? He’ll attract attention and put his life in danger!”
“We need to go before people find him Abi. Last I heard Liz said he ran off and took her car and just left! He can barely even drive?! And he was crying!? He’s going crazy.”
“But I –“
“Abigail c’mon! He’s going alone and Liz is freaking out, we have to get to him and you… you guys just need to… say your goodbyes.” I sucked in a breath and nodded, running out of my old bedroom and speeding down the stairs to the front porch.
“Mom, we got to leave.” I announced as she put her purse in the passenger seat of our family car.
“What? Why? Now? Is everything all set and packed?”
“I heard the news!” Mikaela butted in, running towards us from the garage, “Liz won’t stop panicking.”
“What’s going on?” My mom asked us, her eyebrows furrowed.
