My Dad's Best Friend (Robert Downey Jr. Fanfic)

Moving Away

Robert had been acting strange for the past few days. I hate the fact he's hiding his problems from me. Something is up. We were at the table eating dinner. He was abnormally quiet as usual. "Bobby, what's up with you? You've done nothing but, mope around." I asked annoyed. "Nothings wrong with me." he answered. "Liar. Jesus, why can't you tell me the truth? I tell you everything." "Will you fucking drop it?!" "No! Is it something I did?!" "For fuck sake Cece drop it!" He got up from the table and stormed into the bedroom. I'm not done with him. I went into the room as he was taking his shoes. "You're a fucking asshole you know that!" I snapped. He ignored me and laid down on the bed. "I'm talking to you!" "Good night." he groaned. "Robert, talk to me! I know somethings wrong. Please, tell me!" "Shut up Secillia!" I yanked the covers off him and he glared at me. "Will you stop acting like a child?!" "Oh, I'm the child! I want you to trust me with what's bothering you!" "You want to know what's bothering me?!" He takes me by my shoulders hard. "I lost my job because of you!" "What are you talking about?!" "I have no job! How can I be there for you when I have no job? My life is over! I betrayed my best friend and for what?! Just to have the opportunity to fall in love with his daughter!" "We can pull through this. Don't give up hope. Wait, you said becausw of me you have no job. How is that even possible?" "It is. I can't do this no more." "Do you regret being with me?!" He stayed silent. "Robert, does my father have anything to do with this?" "No." "Then let me talk to your boss." "Stop trying to fix this. Its over!" "Between us?" He turned his back to me. I got my answer. I packed up my stuff in anger. He never once stopped me. I looked up at him as he refused my gaze. "I can't believe your job is more important than me. You are just like my father! You are a bastard! After all we have been through this is how you want it! Fine by me. I'm going someone who isn't a pussy and fight for me. I thought you were it and I guess I was wrong! I hate you!" I shoved past him and out the door. I began crying from the heartache.

I felt arms around me. Matt led me to his apartment and set me on the couch. He takes my bag and sets it on the kitchen table. He sits down next to me holding me close to him. "What's wrong Cece?" asked Matt softly to me. I wiped the tears from my eyes and held onto him. "He broke my heart." I wept. "Oh, honey I'm so sorry. I never expected Bobby to do that. I thought he loved you." "Bunch of lies. He blames me for losing his job." "Must be a reason behind all that." "He won't tell me. Not once did he stop me from leaving. He's a jerk." "Are you going back home?" "I don't know." "If you want you can stay here. Just until you get on your own place." I looked up at him as his goregous blue eyes. I smiled as he flashed his very own smile. Matt was sweet and I loved that about him. He helped me get justice for Jo. Always listened to me and respectful. "Thank you, Matt for being such a great friend." "No problem Cece. Come on, I'll show you to your room." I took his hand and followed him down the hall. "Comfy right?" I giggled and sat on the bed. "Yes, very." "I'll bring your bag." He left me there then came back placing my bag on the dresser. "Make yourself at home. If you need me I'll be in my room. Good night." I got up from the bed giving him a hug. I placed a kiss on his cheek and smiled at him. "Good night, and again thank you." He gave me a final smile as I closed the door.

"Are you happy?! I just broke it off with Cece!" I yelled into the phone. "Really? Why isn't she here?" asked Dominic. "I don't know she should have been there by now. Either way I want my job back and you leave me the hell alone." "Whatever I'll make the call. Once you have that job back you stay away from her." "You have my word." "Good. I have to go enjoy having your job back." I threw my phone against the wall as it shattered. What the fuck have I done?! I sacrafised the love of my life for a job. Cece's right I'm an asshole. I'm not giving up. I'm going to fix this and get her back. I just the time away from eachother won't affect my chances to get her back. I'm afraid she might move on. I'm moving out of this place and fix my life for Cece but, out of this city. Where Dominic won't bother us.

*One Month Later*

I hadn't see Robert in awhile. Matt told me he had moved out from his old apartment. I didn't care because I was done trying to fix what we had. Matt had helped me get a job and payed for my online classes for college. He had been so helpful these past weeks. I wish I could repay him back. He had invited me to the beach. He held my hand as we walked along the shoreline. He just made me feel good about myself and always listened. "Cece, I feel happy when I'm with you. You just make me smile." said Matt. I gazed up in his eyes as they burned into mine. I ran my hand down his cheek and smiled at him. "I feel the same. You've helped me when I need it most. I wish I could pay you back for all you've done." I mentioned. He cupped my face in his hands and kissed my forehead. "Your company is enough for me. Me being able to bring that smile out of you fills my soul. I pray you can feel the way I do someday." I felt his lips pressed against mine. My heart pounded against my chest as he pulled me close to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck running my fingers through his hair. He kissed me passionately caressing my tongue with his. I really liked Matt but, it's going to take awhile before I could love him back. He pulled away as we smiled at eachother.
