~Saturday (One week after prom)~

-Preston's POV-

"Robbie, c-can I talk to y-you for a sec?" I asked looking into the kitchen.

"Sure babes." He smiled as he put the sandwich he just made down on the counter. He turned around and pointed his finger at Add, who was staring at his sandwich. "Don't even think about it!" He scolded her as he walked out of the kitchen and into the living room where I was.

"Let's go somewhere more private." I said as I interlocked our hands and started to walk towards the stairs down to our bedroom. We walked down the stairs in silence. I don't want to have to do this, but I have no other option.

"So, what up?" Rob questioned as he floped down on the bed. I just stood in front of him, fiddling with my hands. "Preston?" He asked as he sat up a bit more with a very concerned look on his face.

"I-I-I" I stuttered out not being able to get out anymore than that. I stared at the floor and started to pick at my palm.

"Preston just tell me." Rob said standing up and pulling my hands away from my body, gripping onto them tightly.

"I-I-"

That's it I can't take it

I broke down in tears collapsing onto my knees. I yanked my hands out of Rob's using them to cover my face and sob into my hands.

"Oh Preston." Rob whispered sadly. He knelt down and slowly wrapped his arms around me. We both sat there on the floor. I clutched onto Rob's shirt with both hands as I sobbed into his shoulder. I could tell that he didn't know what was wrong or what to do but he was doing his best to comfort me.

"Now, can you please tell me what's wrong?" He pleaded, cupping my face with his hands bringing it up so I was looking him directly in the eyes.

"I d-don't want t-t-t-to leheve." I said breaking down crying again on the last word. I don't want to hurt him, ever.

"W-what do you mean?" He asked me, his hands still cupping my face.

"My p-parents are m-m-m-moving back to T-T-Texas and I have to go with th-them." I stuttered out as I wrapped my arms around Rob in some pathetic attempt of an apology.

He didn't say anything he just wrapped his arms around me. My shoulder slowly started to get wet, but it's only fair his shoulder is soaked with my tears. We sat there for a few minutes just crying into each other's shoulders, when Rob broke the silence by speaking up.

"W-when are you leaving?" He asked his voice cracking as soon as he spoke.

"Tomorrow." I replied bluntly, I had cried all my tears there were none left to come flowing out.

"Oh." Was his only response as he stood up and walked up the stairs, out of our shared room in the basement. I hurt him, I knew I would. Hot tears burst out of my eyes and ran down my face like rivers. I was wrong I do have tears left. I tucked my legs into my chest so I was just a ball of sorrow and self pity in the middle of the room. I rapidly glanced at the stair case as it began to creak under someones weight.

"Rob told us." The person said but as they were still were halfway down the stairs I couldn't tell who it was, but it was one of the girls because they were wearing a skirt.

"Oh." Was my response as I fully turned around to face the stairs leaning back on the end of the bed for a little bit more comfort.

They walked the rest of the way down the stairs and smiled at me. It was Aubrey. I patted the floor next to me indicating that she could sit with me. She nodded and sat down cross legged next to me. I suddenly became very fascinated with the floor not really wanting to look her in the eyes, just in case she was disappointed in me.

"Preston?"

"Yeah?"

"It'll be ok."

I turned my attention off the spot on the floor and looked at her confused.

"How do you know?" I asked, a single tear sliding down my face as I spoke.

"I just do." She quietly laughed and looked down at the floor. It was like something on the floor was funny because every now and then another laugh escaped her lips. I rasied an eyebrow at her, now extremely confused.

"What's so funny?" I asked staring at her trying to figure it out.

"Well to be honest I don't know that everything will be ok." She said, my heart sank a little and I went back to staring at the floor. "But-" My head bolted up from the floor and I began to look at her again, intrigued. "Whatever happens.........it was part of the plan to begin with." She finished pausing in the middle of her sentence. She slowly stood up, smiled down at me before walking up the stairs.

I was alone once again.

Is she right? Is it all just what has to happen to make the world go on?

I thought to myself. 7 million questions raced through my head all at once, but it landed back onto Rob all of a sudden and how much I was going to miss him.

I feel like that's a good place to end this chapter 😁🤗
