"You're amazing!" Alex smiles
"Thanks," I blush, putting the microphone away. He came over to my house so that he could hear me rehearse. Honestly, I don't think I'm all that great at singing although everyone but Ryan and Jack say I'm great.
"Hey, you okay?" I ask
"Yeah," he smiles
"Okay,"
- / / / -
"So, I heard your glass shattering singing, it went quiet after, what happened?" Jack grins
"We talked."
"Sure you weren't kissing?"
"I'm sure."
"I kissed Maggie again," he smiles
"I wondered why you were in such a good mood."
"Right, anyways, where's Ryan?"
"He's out? I guess, I haven't seen him since yesterday." "With Frauke?" He asks
"I don't know, I honestly don't." I sigh, again for the second time this week holding in my tears
"You okay?"
"I'm f-fine," I lie, "do I look okay to you?!"
"No, actually you don't."
"Great," I sigh
"Look, I know you and Ryan are really close but I think he just needs time." Jack smiles, wow, he's actually nice for once.
"You're right," I say wiping my eyes "I just... Miss him..."
"Believe me, I can tell." He smiles "Wanna go out with me and Maggie later?"
"No, I'll stay here." I smile, or at least I try
"Don't smile if you can't, you look terrible." And there's the Jack I know!
"Okay, uh, I'll do the dishes."
"Thanks." Flip I forgot it was his turn, oh well.
I hear Frauke's voice at the door, I go over to open it.
"He---" I look up and see that she's with Rhiannon... Oh lord.
"Hey, Sapph." They giggle
"Where's Ryan?" Rhiannon asks
"Out." I mutter
"Right, well, we'll come back later?"
"Whatever." I say looking back down, and I see a tear drop on my foot.
"Sapph..." Frauke tries to soften me but I look away
"I'm fine, I better go help Jack..." I sigh as I hear him call for me
"Oh, bye..." They say and I shut the door, falling against it tucking my knees into my chest. Jack runs down the stairs
"What the heck? Are you alright?" He asks
"Y-yeah, I'm fine." I say wiping my eyes, heading back over to the sink.
"I'm calling Alex over, to keep you company."
"R-right, okay," I smile
"Oh my god, you can smile," he laughs, trying to brighten my mood, damn he can be nice... annoyingly nice...
-:- After Alex had left and Jack was back home -:-
"He still not here yet?" Jack asks
"No," I sigh
"Oh boy."
"He might be at his friends' house?" I ask
"Or with Frauke."
"True, I'll call her."
-:- on the phone -:-
"Frauke, you there?" I ask
"Well, yeah. What's up?"
"Is Ryan at yours?"
"No. Haven't seen him all day."
"Oh god."
"Maybe he's just at a friends' house, you don't have to worry."
"Fine, I'll try calling his friend."
"Alright."
-:- Phone Hangs Up -:-
"Well?" Jack asks
"Nope, hasn't seen him."
"I'll try Ryan's friend."
"Okay,"
-:- A few minutes later -:-
Ryan enters the door and I drop my milkshake, thank god it was a plastic cup.
"Where have you been?" I ask
"Out,"
"Where?"
"Somewhere,"
"Where's 'somewhere'?"
"Somewhere." He sighs "Sapph, I know you mean well but I just need a lil' freedom, ya know?" He asks
"Fine, I was just worried."
"I know, I can tell by the mascara stains on your cheek."
"I---" I sigh "Right..."
