Promises Were Meant To Be Broken

Chapter 25

Becky

"So you get out of school next week?" Rita asked, popping two pieces of M&M's  in her mouth  

I took a bite of my Hershey's chocolate bar and looked at my laptop screen  

"Yup, next week Thursday" Sarah replied   

"So does that mean you guys will fly down here?" My eyes lit up with a tiny bit of excitement   

It would be nice to have them back. I really miss them.  

"Maybe. Probably yes, depending on when you get out of school though"  

I sighed. School doesn't get out for another two weeks.  

"We get out two weeks, so you can probably come by then. Or you can come earlier and wait here while I'm at school" I suggested  

"And maybe I get to finally you guys!" Rita said with excitement in her voice  

My eyes rolled playfully at her inner fangirl. It took her a while to calm down but it sunk in. She kept throwing out questions at Alex and Robert, which made them a little uncomfortable. Until then I asked her to stop.  She understood.  

"No Rita, you'll scare them again" I joked  

She glared and threw pieces of M&M's towards my direction. Opening my mouth, one successfully landed in  

"You guys are so weird" Mickey muttered  

I waved her off. I got up to throw my candy trash away and sat back on my bed.  

"How's Taylor?" I randomly asked  

It's been a while since I saw her. We text and call sometimes though.  

"She's fine. Her baby is the cutest and so playful" Mickey smiled  

"Oh, that's good to hear"  

"Taylor's that girl you used to hate, right?" I nodded, not really wanting to get into the subject  

Rita got up and walk towards my door  

"And where are you going?"  

"To the bathroom, unless you want me to pee on your bed"  

I scrunched my nose in disgusted  

"No, no it's ok. You may now leave to do your business"   

She laughed and walked out  

"So she replaced us, huh?" Mickey asked in a hurtful tone. But obviously joking  

"Oh yea, totally." I rolled my eyes  

"But really, I'd never replace you guys. But like you said, I needed to make friends and I did. I couldn't be lonely through out the whole school year. But I love all of you."  

"We love you too, Becky" Sarah coo'd  

I smiled  

"Have you found any guys yet?"  

A sigh slipped out of my lips  

"You guys, I-"  

"No, we understand. I'm sorry I was just curious"  

I nodded looking down  

"Still not over him?"  

My head shook

  "I miss him.." My voice trailed off, barely above a whisper  

"We know you do. Have you ever considered at least talking to him, just to have some relief off your chest?"  

I shook my head. I don't think I could even look at him without breaking down. Too much memories will be brought up  

"I feel weak" my mouth blurted out  

"No, you're not, just a little heart broken. But c'mon Becky, it's been six months. I think you should at least try to talk to Austin if you're not giving any effort to get over him"

  My body cringe at the sound of his name but I hid it  

"I know, I know. But it's hard. And besides, he has a girlfriend which only makes things worst"  

My jaw clenched just thinking about that her  

How could she do that?

"Well you need to make up with him sooner or later. It's been half a year, you can do it"

I bit my lip, not wanting to. But she's right. I need to either make up or try to get over him

"ok fine. I'll try to think of a way." 

They smiled

"Good."

I took a quick glanced at the time

"I have to go now, there's school tomorrow and it's already 9:27"

"But it's still early" Alex pouted

"I know but my mom said lights out at 11"

"Since when did you actually listen?"

"Ha ha ha" I faked " and I didn't take a shower yet"

"Oh ok. Remember to talk to Austin"

"Ok father"

He rolled his eyes with a smile

"Bye guys"

"Bye Becky" They said in unison 

"Bye Rita" Sarah smiled

"Bye Sarah" someone said behind me

My eyes widen. 

How long has she been listening

They ended the call

She's sitting on a chair next to my desk, playing with her phone

"When did you get back?"

Her head looked up

"A while ago. You seemed to be having a deep conversation with them and I didn't want to bother"

Nodding, I gabbed a towel and some comfortable clothes. I'm still in my clothes I used to school. 

"Who's Austin?"

My body froze

"H-How much did you listen?"

"Sarah was saying you're a little heart broken and mentioned a guy named Austin. Who's that?"

I stayed quiet

"It's ok if you don't want to tell." She said going back to her phone

"No, I'll tell you. It's no big deal really, just let me take a shower and I'll tell you"

With an 'okay' being said, I walked out to the bathroom to do my business

It's not a big deal, right? I can trust her, right? She wont end up being like Ari..

right?

Rita
I feel bad for listening into her conversation with her friends. I had no right to ask her who this "Austin" guy is. But I'm a curious person.

After about an hour of lying in bed, texting some people from school, Becky's door creaked open. My head snapped to see Becky coming in, towel drying her hair

"Had a good shower?" I asked after putting away my phone

"Yup" 

Grabbing her brush, she plopped on her bed with her legs crossed. I watched as she brushed her long brunette hair.

"So who's' Austin?" I started

With one last stroke, she put down the brush and looked at me

"You wont believe me if I tell you"

"Try me. Besides, you wouldn't have a reason to lie, would you?"

She shook her head and got into position 

"Well..."
