The Breakthrough (HIATUS)

Ch 23

   I finally pulled into the driveway of my house and got out. I grabbed my overnight bag and leftovers from the backseat and walked inside. My parents were at work, and Ari was at school, of course. I skipped school because of the Ashley situation. Robby looked up at me, smiling sympathetically.

"Wanna talk about it?" he asks softly.

"No." I said, emotionless.

   I walk towards my room, close the door, throw my bag down, and flop down on my bed. I felt more tears running down my cheeks. I seriously had to stop! If I was in his shoes, I'd want him to be happy for me too! I was more than happy for him, I was just being selfish. I heard my phone buzzing in my back pocket. I got it and read the text.

"Hey! My parents and I are staying with my aunt. Obviously you know I'll be in Santa Monica over xmas break. I heard the boardwalk was a cool place to be. Maybe we could meet there?" -Zane

"Yeah lol. I know. The boardwalk is the place to be! I'll happily meet you there!"

"Cool! So whats up?" -Zane

"Trying to get over the fact that my boyfriend is on tour...I'm ecstatic for him! But I'm just not used to being away from him..."

"I'm sorry to hear that... :/ When did he leave?" -Zane

"A few hours ago..."

"Damn :/ Well, I'll let you go. Ttyl :)" -Zane

"Thanks. And ok :3 TTYL."

   After I sent the text, I heard a knock on my door and Robby's head peek in. I motioned for him to come in.

"You ok?" he asks.

"I will be..." I sigh.

"I know the feeling. You guys will see each other again, I promise. I know its easier said than done, but you'll get used to the whole long distance thing eventually. This is a huge deal for Ash!" Robby assures.

"I know, love. I guess I'm just being selfish. I mean I'd want him to be happy for me if I was him." I said.

"Well, good! I hope you know you can always talk to him! Ari will be home in a few hours." Robby says.

"Yeah. No way I was going to school today." I sigh.

"Well, missy. Would you like to do something? Just us two? Bro and sis?" Robby asked.

"Haha! Sure. We never hang out that much anyways." I say smiling.

"Erm. I don't think you wanna be that dressed up, do you?" he asks, raising an eyebrow.

   I looked down and realized I was in my black dress, fishnets, and boots! I sure as hell wasn't ruining anything I bought from Beverly Hills. I laugh and shrug.

"Haha, I just wore this to see Ashley off. Don't judge! Let me change real quick!" I say, pushing him towards the door.

   He laughs and raises his hands in defeat, walking out the door. I slipped out of my dressy attire and hung everything up. I change into my red and black Breathe Carolina tank top, white ripped skinny jeans, and red sparkly toms. I brush out my hair and put it into a low side ponytail. I grab my phone, keys, clutch, and head out of my room towards the kicthen. Robby was already starting in on the leftovers.

"Might as well finish it all together, right?" he laughs.

"Haha, I guess so!" I exclaim.

   I heat up the rest of the leftovers and Robby and I go to town. That reminds me I need to visit Amy every now and then! It would make Ashley really happy! After Robby and I finished eating, we headed out.
