There Is Only Love

Chapter 17

Bridget's POV

I woke up to the sound of music coming from the living room. "What in the hell??" I questioned as I walked towards the music. "Ellie?" I laughed. "Seriously?"

"What?? I need to do something to make you laugh. You've been down and out ever since that Skype call last week." She said as she started doing the 'whip nae nae' I laughed so hard I was crying.

"You're terrible!" I laughed. "But it's a good effort!" I began to dance with her in my Jammie's, because she was right. I ignored every call I had gotten from TC this week. I guess I just hoped that he would eventually just stop calling... But he didn't. *DING DING* I heard my phone do a text tone.

"TC?" Ellie asked as I walked to the phone to check it.

"Yep." I said as I read the message in my head.

"Why don't you just answer him Bri? The poor guy has literally called you all week." She waited for a response. "At least he's trying."

"I know but--"

"But what Bridget?!" She said interrupting my sentence. "You love that boy! I know you do. You can't just give up on him for a petty mistake. Don't hurt yourself by doing this. Your heart is literally breaking, I can see it in your eyes every time you look at me."

I couldn't come up with anything to say, because I knew she was right. I'd loved this boy for as long as I can remember, and my dumb ass isn't even giving him the light of day. I tried to come up with something to back up my story. "Ellie... What if he ends up picking Michelle over me in the future?"

"Bridget. You have got to stop thinking that. If he wanted her, he'd still be with her! But no. He's with you! That boy loves you as much as you do him."

"Okay, I'll call him..." I stared at my phone. "Later."

"Okay, fine with me." She said. "Oh! So what are you wanting to do for your birthday next weekend? It's coming up pretty fast."

"I don't know...." I stopped to think. "Oh shit!!!! Today is Blake's birthday!"

"Oh my god!! How could we forget?!" She laughed. "Oops!!"

"Let's call him and tell him happy birthday!" I said grabbing my phone. I hit the speaker but and we both waited for him to pick up.

"Hey crazy!" He answered.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKEY!!!" We both screamed into the phone.

"Aww! Thank you guys! I miss you!" He said with a big smile... Well I couldn't see it but I could tell it was there.

"We miss you too!!" I shouted.

"How is tour going?!" Ellie asked.

"It's amazing! Like always. But I kinda wish someone was in a better mood. It'd make the traveling a whole lot more fun." He said, and I could tell who he was talking about.

"Sorry." I replied.

"What's he doing?" Ellie asked. "Just like, not talking to y'all or what?"

"Well, he does, but he's not as crazy and fun as he used to be." He explained.

"Well, I'll talk to him later." I said hoping to ease his mind.

"Works for me, maybe his panties won't be in such a wad then." He laughed a little. "Okay, well I'm gonna get going, were about to start practice."

"What, no party for you?" I laughed.

"Nah, that's later tonight." He laughed as well.

"Okay! Bye Blake! Hope you have a good birthday!! Wish we could party with y'all tonight!" I hung up after he said thank you, and his goodbyes.

"I told you that boy loves you!!" Ellie laughed.

"Ugh!" I groaned.

"Call him!" She said pushing the phone up to my face.

I looked down at my phone and saw a picture from Michelle's Instagram. It was a picture of TC and Michelle from street23. *Miss you best friend! See you Saturday!* "I have a better idea." I thought about it. "Yep.. Ellie... You get to see Drew for his birthday."

"What?! Why?? What are you thinking?" She asked.

"I'm getting my boyfriend back!" I said showing her the picture I had seen.

TC's POV

"I'm guessing that was Bri and Ellie?" I asked looking at Blake's phone as he put it in his pocket.

"Yep! They told me happy birthday!" He said. "I miss them!" He frowned.

"Yea..." I walked onstage to get ready for practice. I wasn't feeling it. I had mixed emotions. I wanted her to talk to me, but at the same time I was extremely pissed off that she wouldn't. I hated to sound like needy and whiny, "did she say anything about me?"

"Who? Bridget? Umm..." He paused. "No."

I wondered why it took him so long to answer. "Why'd you hesitate?" I asked.

"Because I was happy they called." He grinned.

"Must be nice." I clenched my fist and tightened my jaw. "Let's go!!" I hit the stage and jumped on top of it.

After practice, we got down off the stage and had some fun with the rest of the crew on the tour. "SO... It's Blake's birthday!!! What are we doing tonight?" Millie suggested.

"We're partying!!! DUH!!!" Blake shouted.

"Well no shit! But where?" Drew asked.

"I have an idea." Jayk suggested.

We went to this really good 'club' I guess you could call it. Cute girls, good music, nice people, and good drinks! It actually eased my mind from Bri. I was finally having a great time. Until the night was over and it was time to head back to the hotel. I don't remember the whole night, but apparently it was pretty great, we partied hard enough for Blake's and Drew's birthday put in one. We woke up the next morning with bad headaches, but oh well, because it was time to head to the venue and get ready for the show.

"Damn!" I said burying my head into my hands. I felt like a huge boulder had fell on my head, and somehow I was still alive to tell the tale. I got up and looked at my phone. "Nothing" I mumbled to myself. I stood up to head to the shower. I felt disgusting.

"Yo!" I said realizing Drew was hogging the hot water. "Dude! Hurry! You take longer than a woman in there!"

"Don't hate the playa, hate the game!" He shouted back to me.

"Really Drew?" I went to plop myself on the bed, trying to relieve myself of this pain. I waited, and waited, and waited. Until finally, he walked out of the bathroom. "About damn time." I laughed.

"Aye, it takes a while to look this good. Okay?" He said, Drew being Drew.

"Whatever," I laughed. "Now move."
I finished my shower and got dressed. I took a peek at my phone again, and nothing. "Oh well." We went to the venue, did the show and everyone was happy. I just couldn't wait for the next show. It was in Georgia, and that meant I'd get to see my family again. That was one thing I was looking forward to.

We headed to the hotel to grab our things and head out. As we grabbed our bags, I got a text from Bridget.
