The Metronome in my Heart Won't Go On Forever
Happy early New Year's!
"Thanks for picking me up, Andrew…and Andrew's mom." Roxxi said, giggling at Andrew.
"Shut up." Andrew muttered,
"It's no problem. Please, call me Tara." Andrew's mom replied.
Andrew and Roxxi were in the back seat of Tara's Chevrolet, on their way to Adam's end of the year marching band party. The marching lovebirds have been together for a week, and it had been a blast. Luckily, they haven't had any encounters with mistletoe…
"I'm excited about Adam's party," Roxxi said, "I heard that it's going to be the party of the decade."
"It will be now that I have you." Andrew replied, nuzzling her hair.
"Hey, save that for when you're older…and married." Tara said firmly to Andrew.
"Yeah, yeah." Andrew muttered.
Tara pulled up to Adam's house.
"It's 6:30! You guys are on time. Have fun!" Tara said as Andrew and Roxxi got out if the car.
"I'll call you when it's over." Andrew said before taking Roxxi's hand and leading her into Adam's spacious house.
"Wowww! This house is awesome!" Roxxi exclaimed.
Adam's house is two stories, has a game room, an indoor pool, a huge TV, and other awesome stuff. Not to mention that there was quite a spread of food in the kitchen.
"Good thing I put my bikini on under my clothes!" Roxxi cried.
"B-b-b-bikini?" Andrew stammered.
Roxxi threw off her coat, T-shirt, jeans, and shoes, revealing her red and black bikini. She ran over to the indoor pool and cannonballed into it, causing the people already in the heated pool to get drenched and laugh. Andrew just stood there, blushing.
"Yo, Andy, is that your girl who just cannonballed in there?" Andrew's friend Mason asked.
"Yes." Andrew said proudly.
"Don't beat me up, but she's hot." Mason replied.
"Say that to her and I will beat you up." Andrew teased.
Someone tapped Andrew's shoulder. He turned around and saw it was Cena, the flute girl who hates Roxxi.
"Can I see you for a minute?" she asked kindly.
"Uh, sure?" he replied, confused.
Cena led Andrew upstairs.
Mason watched this and shook his head. He then looked at Roxxi.
"Some serious shit is about to go down." he muttered, walking away.
"What is it?" Andrew asked when he and Cena were alone.
"I like you a lot, Andrew. Will you please go out with me?" Cena asked.
Andrew sighed. "Sorry, Cena, but I'm in love with Roxxi."
"Don't you like me?" Cena pouted.
"Of course I do, but-"
"Then why won't you go out with me?"
"I have a girlfriend, Cena." Andrew replied firmly.
"You know, I miss the old Andrew, who would flirt with any girl, not just one." Cena purred seductively.
"Cena, stop." Andrew told her.
"I know you don't want me to." she replied, rubbing herself up against him.
"Cena, that's enough. This is wrong."
"Will you kiss me, Andrew?" Cena asked, getting close to his face.
"I don't-"
"Please?" Cena begged.
Andrew looked down at her, stuck in a corner.
"Andrew?" Roxxi called.
She had just gotten out of the pool and was looking for him.
"Damn it, where is he? He has my clothes." Roxxi muttered.
She spotted Mason in the kitchen getting some food.
"Hey, Mason." She greeted.
Mason turned around.
"Hey, hot girl- I mean, what's up, Roxxi." Mason said quickly.
"Have you seen Andrew anywhere?" she asked.
Guiltily, Mason pointed upstairs. "He went there."
"Okay. Thanks Mason." Roxxi replied.
She hurried upstairs.
"Andrew?" Roxxi called.
She walked around in her dripping swim wear, getting a little chilly. She heard sounds coming from a nearby hallway. She peeped around the corner and saw Andrew kissing Cena! Roxxi was too shocked to say anything for a moment. She then found her voice.
"What the hell! Andrew!" Roxxi shouted.
Andrew and Cena looked up to se Roxxi shaking with anger. Andrew's eyes widened, realizing what he had just done.
"Roxxi…"
"Shut the fuck up, Andrew! You betrayed me! With my enemy of all people! If you were going to cheat on me, why not the nice flute Lucy?" Roxxi shouted.
"Roxxi, hold on! Let me expla-"
"No! It's over, Andrew. You showed me that you can't be trusted!"
With that, Roxxi ran away.
"Roxxi, no!" Andrew cried, pushing Cena away.
Roxxi ran back downstairs, crying. Without thinking, she ran out of the house, into the cold night.
"Shit! What the hell is she thinking!" Andrew cried.
Andrew grabbed his coat and ran out the door after Roxxi, hoping she didn't get too far.
The last chapter will be here soon!
