Chapter 16 - Frozen

A/N: I never thanked you guys for this, but thank you so much for reading my story. I honestly felt very... hesitant, I guess, with writing this. But im really proud of where this is going. You're comments literally bright up my day and I can't find words to explain how grateful I am to have become a part of this "community" based on our love for Robbie Kay. ;) And oh my gosh, I LOVE the edits some of you guys make for me based on this story! Keep them going because it makes this story feel a lot more special.

I love you all, and enjoy this chapter :)<3

School wasn't very welcoming.

Robbie insisted on having me go to school since he's been getting better. I trusted him to manage so I walked to school after my mom drove out to work.

Danielle's cold came back so she stayed at home. Leia and Khloe were busy even during lunch so I wasn't able to talk to them.

And then Jason..

Jason had no interest in seeing me. Our eyes made contact multiple times but he always turned away the second we did.

Overall, missing one day of school was probably a mistake.

*****

I left my keys in my locker so by the time I got home, I wasn't able to unlock the front door. I rang the doorbell, hoping Robbie was still awake.

I was surprised because, a minute later, Robbie opened the door and smiled at the sight of me.

"You're back," he said.

"I am," I said while making my way inside.

Robbie stood straight and walked with masculinity, as if his wounds were no longer a distraction.

"You look better," I said as I threw my backpack onto the couch and sat beside it.

Robbie sat himself next to me. "I feel better. I think you not being around puts a little less stress on me."

My mid-forehead creases as I frown. "Gee, thanks," I say unenthusiastically.

He laughs. "I mean, I don't stress at your stress to take care of me."

"Stress? I'm not stressed."

"Whatever floats your boat."

Robbie stands and walks toward the kitchen. I stay seated on the couch, thinking about Jason. He can't possibly stay mad at me forever, can he? I'd barely done anything but help Robbie.

Then again, Jason himself doesn't know that.

I wished Danielle was at school to talk some sense into him. If Jason gave me the chance, I'd explain what I never did. The thought of him, believing that Robbie was at my house to sleep with me, disgusted me. You would think he'd have the sensitivity to know that I would never do that with someone I barely knew.

Someone I barely knew..

I was risking so much for, someone I barely knew.

But I knew Robbie. I knew him since I was 10.

But once I left to Minnesota, I forgot him. I didn't even have the knowledge to calculate every detail and equal him to Ray, the boy who saved my life.

The boy who saved my life once and once more.

The boy I'll forever be indebt to.

Though, the boy I barely knew.

What am I doing?

"Robyn," Robbie called from the kitchen, "There's literally no food in here."

I stood up from the couch and walked over to the kitchen. "Stop over exaggerating," I say.
