I take a deep breath and slide to answer.

"Cody?" My voice shakes, I try not to I want to sound confident. But my eyes begin to water.

He doesn't reply.

I clear my throat and snap back.

"Uhm. Hello?" I ask, sounding a tad more confident.

"Uhm, it's actually Alli." A Australian voice replies on the other end.

"Oh, Alli? Hi?"

"I would have called you on my phone, but I lost it." She sounds very sad, quiet... Not herself.

"Oh, sorry to hear that." I can't think of anything else to say.

"Yeah.... Anyway, pastry wanted me to ask you if you could do a photo shoot with me tomorrow." She sighs at the end.

"Uhm, what? I'm not a model." I'm shocked at the offer.

"Well yeah neither was I. You just pose and smile." Her sarcasm shows.

"Well... I guess I could do it. When and where?" I ask

"Hollywood studios stage B7 at 12:15"

"Okay, cool see ya than." I get ready to hang up.

"Wa wa wa wait!" She calls out.

"What?" I put the phone up to my ear.

"Cody is gonna be there, they want some shots of us 3 with him and they might get some of just you two... So please don't freak out and ACT like you still love him." She sighs.

"Alli, he is still my boyfriend."

"According to Cody he isn't." She whispers

"What?" Did I her her correctly

"Nothing, I gotta go." She hangs up.

I put my phone down and think about what she just said.

Does Cody really think we aren't together? Has he moved on? Does he not love me anymore? Do why is he ignoring me?

Wait a second, why am I being so selfish! I broke his heart without an explanation! I do love him and I will tell him that tomorrow.

"Liberty dinner is done." Alex knocks on my door.

"Okay." I stand up and walk to the door, I follow Alex down stairs.

Aunt Kate is putting a bowl of bow noodles on the table.

Alex takes a seat and begins to put some on her plate.

"Well come on, sit down." Aunt Kate motions me to sit down.

I smile sheepishly and sit down at the end of the table.

I put some noodles on my plate and get a piece of cheesy bread.

Aunt Kate sits another bowl of spaghetti sauce next to the noodles and sits down.

"So how was your ride here?" She asks putting some food on her plate.

"It was fine..." I lightly stir my noodles with the tip of my fork before taking a bite.

We begin eating.

Someone's phone goes off, it's Cody's song? On my mind begins ringing through the dining room.

My phone is upstairs so it isn't me.

I look at Alex, her eyes are wide, she seems embarrassed.

"Alexandria, so you need to be dismissed?" Aunt Kate purks her eye up.

"Uhm no, just a text." She hurries and gets her phone out and silences it putting it back in her pocket.

She begins eating again, quickly, rushing.

"Alex slow down." Aunt Kate holds her hand out.

Alex drops her fork making it clunk to the plate, she scoots her chair back and storms upstairs dropping her phone on the ground.

I pick it up and follow her upstairs, she slams her door and I knock on it lightly.

"Alex, I'm coming in." I open the door and walk in, I can't see her anywhere.

"Alex?" I ask, turning alittle to the right I hear movement in her closet.

I open the door and find the entire closet if filled with Cody Simpson merchandise.

"Oh my gosh." My mouth drops.

"Get out!" She turns to me with tears streaming down her face.

I don't hear her, I look around the closet, blue lights are streaming from the ceiling, Cody Simpson posters cover the walls, pillows, blankets, dolls, clothes, life size cardboard cutouts throughout the years. Everything.

"What is this?" I'm memorized by all the stuff.

"Liberty please don't tell anyone." She pleads.

"Who do I have to tell?"

"YOUR BOYFRIEND!" she shouts

"Why would he care? He sees this all the time." I shrug.

"HE WAS MY BOYFRIEND!" She screams and my eyes widen at the... OMG she is crazy.
