Disclaimer: Yeah, we know, we know! I own nothing…besides my character…and a little blue froggy named Santiago. Anywho, on with the chapter!

A/N: Just so you guys know, the reason I'm putting up chapter three right after this one is to compensate. This isn't my favorite chapter and so to keep you from hating me I'm putting up the next chapter which is better written. It gets better with each chapter believe me. So far I think chapter five is my fave. Ok shutting up now. *zips lips closed*

When the boy got home, he collapsed on the couch. His friend and band-mate Mike walked out of his room to the kitchen.

"Hey Bill, you feel better? You seemed a little depressed before." Mike said.

"Hey Mike. Yeah I feel a little better. The fresh air did me some good."

"Cool. A depressed Bilvy is not what I want to see right now." Mike said and smiled.

"Thanks, dude." William said. There was a knock on the door. "Hey, Mike could you get that? You're closer." William called to Mike in the kitchen.

"Sure bro." Mike walked to the door and opened it.

"Hi Mike." Replied the girl at the door.

"Oh hey Tina. How are you?" Mike asked politely.

"Um…I'm ok. Is William here? I need to talk to him." Tina replied.

"Hey Will, Tina's here." Mike called to William.

William got up from the couch and smiled at his girlfriend. She gave him a small, regretful smile. "William, we need to talk. Can we go to your room for a minute?" Tina said.

William's smile fell. "Sure." She closed the door and they walked into his bedroom where he closed the door after her and sat on his bed. "What's up?" He asked, even though he was pretty sure he knew what was up.

She looked at him sadly. "William…I can't lie to you anymore. I can't take you being gone from home so much and so often. It's driving me crazy. And I'm sorry but I can't see you anymore. We have to break up."

"What? Why? Are you sure we can't work through this? Why now?" He asked, his heart sinking to his knees, but knowing this was going to happen sooner or later.

"Will…you want to know the truth? I've been cheating on you." She said closing her eyes. She did feel bad for him but she couldn't do this to herself anymore. "Ever since you got home from tour, all through the holidays, I've been trying to find a time to tell you that it has to end…I really like this guy and he really likes me. More importantly, I know that he won't go away from me every so many months. I can't deal with all this anymore. I'm sorry, but it's over." And with that, she walked out of his apartment and his life. Not allowing herself to look back and feel anymore guilty than she already did.

William stared after her. Not bothering to chase her down and beg to let them try again. He knew it wouldn't work. Not after all the trust that had been broken. He also knew that once Tina made her mind up, it was really made up. His chest burned from the fact that she had been cheating on him. It burned from the pain and hurt, but also the anger. But more so, the pain. The anger was what allowed him to delete her number from his phone and hide or destroy all traces of her that remained in his apartment. The pain then took over and he closed and locked his bedroom door and quietly cried into his pillow.

Mike had been bewildered by the fact that Tina had just left the apartment without even a goodbye. He locked the door that he heard her exit from and then went to check on William to see if everything was ok. He knocked on William's door. "Not now Mike!" Was all that William could muster.

Mike figured it would be better to give William some time to calm down from whatever happened. He knew it couldn't be good. "Ok man. But I'm coming back in an hour to make sure you're not dead…and if you are, I swear to god I'll bring you back to life and kill you again myself. That's a promise!" He heard a pound on the door; probably a thrown shoe. He went back to the kitchen and finished cleaning the dishes that had been piling up, then went out and watched some TV. Every once in a while he'd walk to William's door to make sure he still heard sounds of life.

After an hour, true to his word, Mike knocked on the door again. "William? Are you still alive? Or am I going to have to use the Jaws of Life to make you regret any stupid decision you made while upset?" He called.

William opened his door, flipped Mike off and left his door open. He couldn't cry anymore and just sat on his bed, looking slightly lifeless. Mike walked in. "Dude, what happened?" "Tina broke up with me." William said listlessly.

Mike looked at his friend sympathetically "Did she say why?" he prodded gently.

"She couldn't take me being on the road so much…oh and also, she was cheating on me."

"Bitch." William flinched slightly but knew it was true. "Oh Bill, I'm sorry I didn't mean…I'm sorry man." William managed a small smile and then went right back to looking depressed.

"I kind of sensed it was happening, I shouldn't be surprised." William told him.

"Even so, you have every right to feel bad. You'll get over her man. You have to. Even if it's just to show her that you did. Everything will be ok eventually. I promise." Mike said, trying to console his friend. Will just stared at him and forced one side of his mouth to go up. It was the only response he could give.

"I'm ordering Chinese. Don't bother telling me what you want, I know what you like. I'm also gonna force you to watch Will Ferrell make an ass out of himself as Ron Burgundy; whether you like it or not. Now go sit on that couch. I'll be there in a minute." Mike commanded.

William did as he was told. Mike just shook his head sadly at one of his best friends and went to the phone to order Chinese. He was not looking forward to the next couple of days all of a sudden.
