**Sophia's POV**

 

"Yep. He's almost completely broken. He barely makes music and when he does it's sad and nothing like him. He's not like himself or like the Austin I've grown up with. He looks so different. He's hair isn't the same, nor his eyes, face, body, nothing. He doesn't eat all the time. He's never happy anymore. Everything he says is basically about you. He's like obsessed with you, or so he says in love. He misses you so much it's unhealthy. You need to talk to him at least be friends with him."

"I can't. I'm sorry but I can't."

"Why?"

"Because..."

After Robert asked me why and I wouldn't answer he continued to try and get the answer out of me.

"C'mon Soph just tell me why?"

"Listen Rob, I just can't do that to myself, to Austin or to James. I love James and I know me talking to Austin wouldn't be the smartest decision for anybody."

"How so?"

"I just can't let myself ever like Austin more then a friend. I know that if I ever have any contact with him I might develop feelings. And plus I'm with James and ... I love him. I could never break his heart." I said looking at the floor, not wanting to make eye contact with Rob's dark orbs.

"Sophia, look at me. Do you really love James?"

I looked at him and took a moment. Did I really love James? Or did I just love the idea of love? Did James love me? Were we even in love with each other?

"Honestly, I don't know."

"Exactly so why not at least talk to Austin little by little? Please promise me you'll at least try and be friends with him?" Robert asked me pleading with his eyes.

"Fine. I'll try but I'm not making any promises."

"All I'm asking is that you try for me."

"What if he want's to be more than friends?"

"Just tell him how you feel and I'm sure he'll understand."

"Promise me that no matter what happens between me and Austin you'll still be my friend and you'll still go after Emm if you even have to by then."

"Promise."

Rob and I picked up the mess and then we headed our separate ways. As I walked up the stairs to my room I had two questions on my mind. Did James love me? and Did I love James? Having that talk with Robert helped a bit.

As I opened my bedroom door I smiled slightly at James spiraled out on my bed taking up all the space. He let out a snore as I started to walk to the bed. I was already in my pj's so I took off my slippers and opened the blanket. I saw he had no shirt on as usual not that I was really complaining.

I started to push him over and it worked until he rolled over onto the spot I was about to lay in and pushed me on the floor. -.-. Really? I get up and shake him slightly and he groans.

"What?"

"Can you move over there's no space for me?"

"Why didn't you just sleep on the couch?" Did he just really ask me that question?

"Because I didn't want to, and if you don't want to I'd move over..." He moved over slightly, "A little more..." He barely moved, "C'mon just move over!"
