"Knock Knock Knock", Sabrina knocks on the door and waits as she taps her foot on the ground nervously.
"Hey Brina!", Bradley opens the door and smiles and she leans in to give her a peck on the cheek.
"Hey", Sabrina puts on a fake smile as he lets her in "Can I- talk to you Brad?", she hesitantly says.
"Sure, what's up?", Bradley asks worriedly as he sits on the coach, Sabrina following.
"I know it's been really hard- for the both of us these past few months. I'm going back on tour in a month and I just don't want us to go through that again. I don't think I can fully commit to a relationship right now, i'm sorry.", she bites her lip nervously after she's done.
"It's okay Sabrina, I understand..", Bradley looks down.
"Thank you so much Brad. I'm glad you understand.", Sabrina smiles.
"Yeah, I already knew it was coming anyways.", he chuckles bitterly, "But can you tell me one thing?"
"What?"
"What's the real reason your breaking up with me?", he bites his lip and raises his eyebrows at her, waiting for an answer.
"What do you mean?", Sabrina asks puzzlingly.
Bradley sighs. He pauses for a few seconds before he asks,"Is this about Rowan?"
"R-Rowan?"
"Remember when you told me you were open to liking girls?"
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean that I'm gonna like the closest girl I am with.", Sabrina starts getting deffensive.
"Everybody knows and thinks that you guys have something between you two.", Bradley raises his voice slightly. "Do you know- do you know how hard it is hearing all the people around me talk about you and her? How Sabrina, my girlfriend, would look so cute together with Rowan."
"I didn't know people thought that way..", Sabrina looks down, obviously surprised.
"I just need to know if it's true Sabrina."
"I just don't have time for a relationship.", Sabrina insists.
"Look me in the eyes, Sabrina, and tell me that you don't like Rowan like that."
Sabrina looks Bradley in the eyes, chewing her lip. She takes a deep breath before she says,"I-" She paused, not able to finish her sentence. "I cant deal with this right now!", she gets up and heads for the door,"Bye Bradley."

"He knows.", Sabrina sighs as she falls back onto Corey's bed.
"He knows? How?", Corey takes a seat next to her.
"He told me to look him in the eyes and tell him the breakup wasn't about Rowan. And I couldn't.", she mumbles from under the pillow.
"I cant talk to him and tell him to shut up about it?", Corey offers.
"No, I don't really care that he knows."
"Oh. So are you going to ask out Rowan now?", he bounces his right eyebrow up and down.
"No.", Sabrina sits up.
"What?! Why not!", he pouts like a little kid.
"I meant what I said about being too busy to be in a relationship. I'm going on tour soon, remember?"
"Rowan won't mind.", he reasons, causing Sabrina to give him a questionable look.
"I don't want us to go through what me and Bradley went to. If I date Rowan, I would want to put her first and give her all my attention. She would be a distraction- not that I wouldn't like that. I just want to put my music career first right now. Besides, she's really busy too, I don't even know if Rowan likes me back, and I'm turning 18 soon. People would look at it weird with a 18 year old dating a 15 year old.", Sabrina says,"Right now is not a good time."
"That's true. It's up to you.", Corey offers a kind smile.
"Thanks Cor."
"Anytime."
