Saturday Afternoon
“No one ever told me the dangers of love.”-Emily West
Robin’s POV
Fuck!
I know where she is.
I know I should go get her.
She’s acting like a child, and I can’t talk to her when she’s like this.
That’s it!
I’m done!
I can’t handle this a day longer!
It’s time to get Greyson to realize how badly he’s hurt her!
He needs to fix this.
What the hell am I gonna say to him?
The last time I saw him was a bit more than slightly awkward.
And given our past…
“Damn it!”
I grab my keys and rush out the door.
Aven’s POV
I don’t know how I got here.
I’ve ended up at Greyson’s.
I must’ve walked here.
Shit.
It seems like I always wind up here.
No, I won’t go in or even let him know I’m outside.
I’ll sit here with my bottle.
Crying, and wanting nothing more than to hold him.
I know I shouldn’t want him anymore.
I’m so broken without him.
He never even told me why he was leaving.
Just a horrifying text after two long years:
“I’m leaving you. Don’t make things harder. Move on.”
I was so confused and heartbroken I never questioned him.
Look where that got me!
Sitting in front of his house, crossfaded with half a bottle of vodka, crying.
I need to leave here.
Living in downtown LA, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a party.
Even in the middle of the day.
Greyson’s POV
*BANG BANG BANG*
*RIIIIIIIIIING*
What the hell?!
Who is that?!
I throw a shirt on as I make my way to the door.
*RIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIING*
“Calm down! I’m coming!”
I’d never expected who was there.
“Robin?!”
A huge smile forming on my face.
“Greyson.”
She looks concerned.
I can’t help but notice how beautiful she looks.
Even in just jeans and a sweater.
Just as I caught myself staring-
“Are you going to keep standing there like an idiot, or can I come in?”
“Right! Sorry. Come in.”
I can’t help but think she’s still the same bossy Robin.
Feeling awkward, I start rambling.
“So, it’s been a while! I was hoping I’d see you sooner. You never showed. I m-“
“Greyson, we are not discussing this. I’m here because of Aven. You shattered her and you owe her an explanation.”
“Right, because you can’t just do it?”
“I didn’t leave her with nothing! I didn’t create what she is! She is killing herself because of y-“
“US! It takes two Robin.”
“I was there for her when you left. You never even tried! I have been the one cleaning up your mess for the past six months! You’ve not so much as made a phone call!”
I could feel myself becoming enraged.
“IT’S OUR MESS ROBIN! I WAS WITH HER FOR TWO YEARS AND THE ENTIRE TIME I WANTED YOU!”
Even through the screaming, I start to cry.
“I’M NOT ABOUT TO FEEL BAD FOR THE WAY I FELT ABOUT YOU! FUCK! I STILL LOVE YOU!“
She starts sobbing and she breaks down.
“I can’t do this. This was OBVIOUSLY a horrible idea. You’re never going to change. You don’t love me. You never did. You never loved her either!”
Her sadness turned to anger, and then rage.
“YOU USED US BOTH! MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU USED HER! SHE ADORED YOU! YOU SEDUCED ME AND LEFT HER WHEN YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED!”
I can’t stand to see her like this.
“Why did I leave her Robin?”
Nothing.
“Tell me Robin! I want to hear you say it. Fucking admit it!”
She’s breaking again. Damn it.
“Fuck you. Tell her why you left her. Fix this.”
That was it.
She just…
Left.
“This is not my fault” I thought as I reached for my phone.
Selecting Aven’s name, I send her the last message I ever intend to.
“You wanna know why I left you Aven?! I. Fucked. Robin. Happy? Do you feel better knowing?”
The screen reads sent and I regret it immediately.
What have I just done?
Fuck.
