Apartment below

Chapter 28

Sabrina

I sat in the car quietly with Ceci on the way to the hotel. Why do I care? Should I care? Does he care? "Have you seen this?" Ceci questioned, showing me her phone

I shook my head, taking it from her. It was a video that was being shared around Twitter. I pressed play

"Unfortunately guys, Sabrina wasn't feeling too good today so she decided to sit tonight out..that also means we won't be performing Hold tight and boyfriend tonight..i know it's sad, but she told me to say she's extremely sorry and that she hopes to see you guys again soon one day"

I scoffed, "of course they make it out to be me that's being the problem" I mumble to Ceci. She sighed, "it's better then the truth, trust me. If people find out what really happened then it will be drama that you don't need at the beginning of your career" she replied

I nodded, I guess she's right? The driver pulls up to the hotel, allowing us to get out and head inside. We get up to our room, I had asked to have one with two beds because I didn't feel like being alone all night

I crawled on top of my bed, pulling the duvet over me. I felt my phone beep multiple times,

Peyton: Sabrina we need to talk
Peyton: it wasn't what it looked like, please message me back
Peyton: Sab? I know you're reading these. Please.

I ignored the messages, turning my phone off and placing it on the table beside me. "Are you going to talk to him?" She asked softly. I shook my head, sniffling "I don't want to. I just want to go home..I want to see Rowan and Corey, I want to go back to my apartment.." I feel tears filling up to the brim on my eyes

"you don't have to stay? You know that right?" She questioned. I furrowed my eyebrows, "what do you mean?" I ask confused. "The tour. You don't have to continue it. We can put out a statement that you left to continue with your own music..your not the first person to ever leave a tour halfway through, everyone, probably even Peyton, will understand" she explained

"And it'll be great for your album, we'll be able to work on the songs in the studio, you'll be back in LA. They will finish the tour and you won't have to see him for at least 4 more months" she added

I felt a pang in my chest at the thought of not seeing him for that long, the thought of leaving the tour and disappointing everyone "can we do it and not tell them?" I ask

She tilts her head slightly "you could leave without seeing Peyton himself, but his team and Amir will have to know. Are you sure you'd want to leave without saying bye though?" She asked

I bit down on my lip, is this worth leaving the tour over? "I'm gonna call Rowan..then I'll decide" I say to her before typing in Rowans number. She picked up almost instantly "Sab! Omgsh I feel like I haven't talked to you in ages! How are you?" She spoke happily

It was as if her asking me if I was okay was all it took for me to break down. "R-Row.." I sobbed. She gasped down the line "what's going on, sab?" She asked quietly "P-Peyton..they hired this dancer to fill in for me..if I was too tired or busy to do a show..Um..s-she's really bitchy..they d-didn't tell me and now I walked..into his dressing room earlier today..a-and they were making out.." I stutter as I cry

"What the heck! Is that why you didn't perform tonight..?" She questioned. "Yea" I breathed quietly. "Well where are you now?" Coreys voice spoke up, assuming she put me on speaker. "I-I'm at the hotel in T-Tokyo" I reply

"Alone?" Rowan asked. "No..Ceci's with me..my manager" I explain. "S-She thinks I should leave..leave the tour" I add. Rowan replied quickly "I agree..if you aren't happy Sab, come home...you don't have to be there, you can come and work on your music here with us.." she stated

"Come on, Bri, come home" Corey added from next to her. My eyes trailed up to Ceci, giving her a nod, "can we leave in the morning?" I ask..
