My Guitar Buddy (A One Direction & Emblem3 Fan Fiction)

Chapter 12

Harry's POV

"It's been not even 5 days!" I shrieked into the phone. "You're already breaking up with me?"

"I'm sorry," she whispered. "It's too hard to maintain a relationship with someone as hot and as loved and as famous as you. Then there's your reputation, and it's just too much."

"When are you coming back?" I whispered.

"I don't know."

"You said a week," I said, my voice cracking.

"I guess I was wrong. They need us more than you do." Skylar's voice was cold.

"Sky," I said. "Niall misses you. I miss you. We ALL miss you."

"Ashlyn and I will meet up with you guys when you leave Europe," she said. "After Paris you come to California. So we'll just meet up with you then."

"That's in a month!" I gasped.

"They need us," she said matter-of-factly.

"WHO?" I snapped.

"Kea--never mind," she said. "He's not important."

"What does he need your help with that he can't solve on his own?" I demanded.

"It's complicated," Skylar said. "Ash is calling me, it's my turn for duty. Bye Haz."

"Don't go," I said weakly.

But it was too late. She'd hung up.

I set the phone down to see a dejected pair of blue eyes stare back at me. "She didn't even ask to talk to me?" Niall asked disappointedly.

"Skylar broke up with me," I said miserably.

Niall's eyes widened, but not in sympathy, in excitement. "Why?"

"She said that it's too hard to maintain a long-distance relationship with someone as loved and famous as I am as well as dating someone with the reputation I have," I said bitterly. 

Niall smiled. "Excellent, she's single."

"You told her to break up with me?" I gasped.

"No, I said that you might break her heart," Niall replied. "Ironic that she broke yours."

"Shut up," I said furiously. "It's not funny."

"Yes it is," Niall said.

"You're only happy because now you finally get a crack at her," I said, tears forming and slowly leaking out of my eyes. "I hope you can persuade her to come back before we have to go to California."

"What?" Niall asked.

I pushed my chair away from the table and stood up. "She and Ashlyn aren't coming back to Europe. Sky said that they'll see us when we get to California."

"In one month," Niall said. No, whispered.

I turned and strode off.

Skylar's POV

"Skylar, it's your turn to help," Ashlyn sighed.

I sighed. "It's complicated. Ash is calling me, it's my turn for duty. Bye Haz."

"Don't go," I heard him say weakly, but I hung up anyways.

When Wes called, it wasn't really a Code Black. But Keaton was failing algebra at school, and his parents were mad, and the only way for him to remain in the competition was to get his grades back up.

Guess who were the lucky tutors?

Keaton was being tutored by Wes, Drew, myself, and Ashlyn, and also practicing for their upcoming performance on Wednesday.
