~Drews POV~

The minute I hang up the phone I nearly throw it across the room. I knew she would be crying from heartbreak and confusion right now, and it was because of me. I felt terrible, but it was the only way for her to live her life. With touring being much more frequent now due to the bands growing popularity, I know that we won't be able to see each other as much as we'd like. And Lily is beautiful and young, she has a better chance with someone else who can give her their full attention. Mine has to be all about the band.

A few moments later Nate re enters the room.

"You did the right thing man" he says sympathetically "it was the hardest thing I ever did, taking a break with Rosie, but I knew that she would be waiting for me for too long and end up ruining her life"

He approaches me giving me a reassuring bro hug before leaving the room and leaving me to silence once again.

~Lily's POV~
I sit listening to the long draining tone of the phone line still dead, disbelieving what Drew had just said to me. When I finally end the call I try ringing him back multiple times convincing myself that it was a prank, but he didn't pick up or return any of my calls. When reality finally set in that this was real, I laid on my bed not even able to cry I was so numb, wondering to myself what was going on, and why he would do this.

"You okay Lily?" My mom questions through my closed door

"I'm fine." I manage to say before closing my eyes and allowing only one tear to fall down my face.

This is the last time I'm going to cry over Drew Dirksen.

**************************************************

When I wake the next morning I'm still in the same clothes from the day before. I can't even remember falling asleep, I literally just laid there all night. I decide to meet with Soph to take my mind off everything, I've decided not to tell my mom or Soph exactly what's going on until I know for certain. Naturally I go to grab my phone to text Drew good morning, like we always do but instead I see a twitter notification from his twitter.

"@TheTideDrew - What a great day it is! Sun is shining! It's going to be a great tour 😀"

I can't believe that he's acting so normal when I've sat here heart broken for the last 12 hours. I decide to take his tweet notifications off as well as the tides account, not because I don't support the other boys, but it's too painful to see Drew posting about how he's so happy. When I finally drag myself out of bed and put on some comfortable clothes I hear my mom letting in Soph. I run down the stairs to greet her, wrapping my arms around her trying to avoid her seeing my blotchy skin from where I had been crying last night.

"Lily!" She exclaims nearly falling over "Lily are you alright?" She asks as I still hold onto her.

"I just really needed a hug" I say releasing her from my grip

The minute she sees my face hers drops, she puts a hand reassuringly on my shoulder.

"What the hell did he do?!" She questions angrily.
