Robbie POV

The effects of the excessive alcohol intake was begin to take its effect, I felt more confident in my surroundings and daring in my actions. I was joking around with Jess , we played a game with boys when they approached her, she would flirt along with them until they tried to whisk her away for a drink or to dance, then she would pull the most hideous face physically capable and hold it until they left. Every time we exploded with laughter. I took a photo a photo of it on my Pearphone, it was certainly going to be used for her caller ID.

Jess began screaming and jumped up to hug three of the other guests who approached our booth, they all eyed my up and down.

"Fresh meat!" One of her friends joked.

Jess slapped him on the chest, "Don't be mean Jake! Guys this is my new roommate Robbie from Los Angeles, Robbie this is Amy, Jacob and Cassie."

I shook hands with all of them.

"Ah he look's so sweet, like a little scared bird." Cassie said as she sat down beside me, taking a sip of her cocktail she turned to face me.

"So Robbie" she asked, "What brings you to New York?"

"I'm going to Juilliard; I start in two weeks." I replied.

Her eyes instantly lit up with excitement, "Seriously, me too! Jess you could have mentioned that!"

Jess sniggered at Cassie, "I've only known him a couple of hours!"

Turning back to me she asked, "What are you studying, please say it's drama."

Laughing I nodded,"Yep, drama."

Cassie slammed her hand down on the table in excitement, "Holy Shit! Thank god I know someone for orientation day!"

Jess raised her empty glass, "This calls for celebratory shots" she announced.

Everyone cheered in agreement. Being polite I offered to go over to the bar and buy everyone their drink, Jess insisted that we did tequila shots.

Rising up to head to the bar, Cassie grasped my arm, "Robbie tell the barman that you are a close friend of Cassie, my dad owns the club so don't worry about paying."

Over the course of the night Jess had eventually taken on the role of the excitable, energetic drunk. She was practically vibrating in her chair. She wouldn't stop yelling with glee about how amazing this year was going to be. Joining in with Cassie, I shouted it too and we high-fived.

Cat's dance track was pounding out from the DJ deck and filled the room, the crowd cheered and Jess once again, screamed.

Ushering Amy and Jacob out of the booth she grabbed my hand, "Come on Robbie, it's your girl's song!"

Jess dragged me onto the floor and began to dance with Cassie and Amy; they bounced around and insisted that I joined in. I wasn't the best dancer in the world; Jade had made that very clear. So instead I tried to make the girl's laugh by doing the robot and other gag moves. I was getting some strange looks but I didn't let that stop me. Jess joined in, copying my simple step to the side which was accompanied with an arm movement. Cassie laughing joined my other side and joined in, then Amy, then Jake and before I knew it everyone was performing the simple step, chanting along to Cat's music. Those at the side of the floor were taking videos and snapping photos. The song ended and we all cheered, getting into the swing of things I bounced around with the girls, relishing in this sense of complete freedom.

Taking out my phone I gave it to Jake and he snapped a photo of Cassie, Jess and I. Jake handed me back the phone and I looked at the photo; Jess had stuck her tongue out while Cassie had crossed her eyes, I was laughing at them both in the photo. Smiling at it I made it my phone background.

We ended the night at three am, where by that stage Jess had gone well over her limit. She was staggering around the street, hiccupping as she slurred her words. Supporting her I wrapped her brother's jacket around her and escorted her to the subway. She snoozed on the train ride home, snoring lightly as she leaned on my shoulder.

Trying not to wake her I retrieved my phone from my jacket pocket and texted Cat and Jade, telling them about how amazing New York was and that I missed them already like crazy.

Arriving home I hushed Jess as I rummaged for my keys. Impatiently, Jess huffed and banged on the door.

"Seany!" She yelled, "Open the door!"

Hastily I opened the door while Jess, who was using it for support staggered into the room and giggled. She clambered into the kitchen and began to open all the cupboards. Finding the glasses she pulled one down, almost letting it fall from her slender, clumsy fingers. Taking it off of her I filled it with water and carefully handed it to her, sitting her down at the bar she smiled gratefully and took a sip.

She grimaced, "Eurgh, Brooklyn water."

I smiled, "You'll have to get used to it."

Childishly she stuck out her tongue, "I'm going to sleep."

Getting off the stool she tripped and fell straight to the ground, swearing she giggled as she lay on her back. Helping her back to her feet I heard footsteps from Sean's bedroom. He opened his bedroom door and stepped out.

He rubbed his eyes, "Seriously Jess!" he exclaimed, "It's four in the morning!"

She spotted Sean, who apparently didn't wear a shirt a bed and her eyes bulged.

Her hand clamped down onto my arm she whispered, "Robbie, look at what Sean was hiding underneath his shirt!"

She marvelled at his defined chest and he rolled his eyes at her, I made eye contact with Sean and we both grinned, Jess thought she was being really subtle when actually she had practically screeched into my ear.

Sean approached Jess and scooped her up into his arms.

"Bed now" I arched my brow suggestively and Sean, catching my expression laughed, "No not like that Robbie."

"Goodnight Robbie!" Jess shouted.

Yawning loudly I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth; I stopped when I reached the door to watch Sean through Jess' door that he had left ajar. Taking off her large heels, he gentle removed her hands from his chest. Lying her down on the pillow he threw the covers over her and pushed her hair out of her face.

Padding into the kitchen he grabbed the waste bin. He smirked at me, "Just incase." Leaving it beside Jess' bed he bid me goodnight and retreated into his bedroom.

Finally under the covers I wrapped them around me, in a cocoon of sheets and bedding. I thought about my first night in New York before drifting off to sleep, about the amazing things that I have seen and what is still yet to come. I was relieved that I had roommates like Sean and Jess; they had good hearts and were decent guys.

New York had stolen my heart and I knew, that I never wanted to leave.

Cat POV

"Cat, get up!"

I felt something whack me and I took my eye mask off, "Jade! How did you get here?"

She held up a car keys and shook them, "Had my own key made."

Of course she did.

Rising out of bed, I pulled my gown around me and tied it. Checking my phone I was pleased to see a text from Robbie, cuddling Jamie I opened it.

My smile faded quickly, "Em Jade? What does, '-ey, Bat it me! Gloving New Yrk xx" mean?"

Grinning she sat on the edge of my bed, "Yeah I got a message like that too, obviously our young Shapiro had a very eventful night."

Avoiding Jade's gaze I turned on the television and turned to the celebrity news channel.

I sighed, "Is it bad that I don't want Robbie to have a good time?"

"Yeah it is" Jade said frankly, "This will be good for him, branching out and meeting new people. I mean before he met you he was pretty shit at it."

"Yeah I suppose you're right it not like he..." I trailed off, my attention now fixed on the headline.

Is Cabbie in trouble?

Jade eyes widened, "Cat." She started, "don't jump to conclus—"

I shushed her and turned up the volume.

Is there trouble in paradise for everyone's favourite teen couple? That's right; we have exclusive photos of Robbie in the arms of another woman.

"What?" I hissed.

Yes here we see Shapiro, walking arms linked with a mysterious blonde. Sources say that the couple entered a night club where they stayed until the early morning. The pair then left and went home... together.

I watched the screen in complete horror as this photo of Robbie popped up on the screen, his jacket draped around this gorgeous blonde's shoulders and he had his arm protectively around her.

My stomach was churning, I was livid, "How could he do this to me? He's only been there for one day Jade!"

Jade was shaking her head in disbelief, "Cat this is a mistake, Robbie isn't like that."

Ignoring her I video called him immediately, he didn't pick up.

I snarled, "Look he's avoiding me because he is too afraid to tell me that he cheated on me!"

"Cat I think you're over-reacting."

"No I'm not" I bit back, "He got over me pretty quickly the last time, you know when he was doing Tori Vega."

Jade locked her jaw, she was beginning to get defensive, "Cat that's not fair, you fucked Robbie over that time and what did he do for you? Oh yeah he saved you from your manager, he handled being hounded by the paparazzi, almost being expelled over something that you started and what was the last one? Oh now I remember, he almost fucking died for you."

That last one was like a slap in the face, setting my phone down, I broke away from Jade's icy glare, ashamed in myself.

"You're right." My voice was timid, "I shouldn't have judged him so quickly and I should trust him."

Jade voice was still cold, "Yes you should."

"It's just awful imagining that he is all the way in New York were all of these talented actresses will be throwing themselves at him and I won't be there to stop them."

My alarm went off, "I'm late for my meeting!" Rushing into my closet I grabbed some skinny jeans and a top, "Jade I'm sorry, can we meet later?"

She shrugged, "Wouldn't want to get in the way of your busy schedule." She replied sourly and stormed out of the room. Sighing I leaned against the arch frame and shut my eyes, my head swimming with all of these stories about Robbie. Jamie was at my feet, pawing at my legs.

I picked him up and kissed him on his tiny nose.

"At least I still have you."

Rushing to my car I drove over to the theater where I was performing my sound check and meeting my band for my tour. Abigail, my new manager met me outside when I arrived, she is young and inexperienced, which is exactly what my mother and I loved about her. We have a soft spot for the underdog.

Hugging her, she led me into the arena and brought me onto the stage.

"Tomorrow Cat you will be performing here!" she said excitedly.

I gazed around at the open area, it was mostly a standing concert which was exciting I had never performed one of those before. Spinning around I giggled and heard it echo around the room, the acoustics in here were amazing.

"This was a great choice Abby"

Beaming with pride she brought out my teamed and introduced me too them. Most of my old members had returned and I glad to see them. They knew what Anna was like and had treated me like a member of their own family and I really did love them for that.

Abigail brought forward my band, all of them where the same apart from the guitar player, he was new, young and very attractive.

"Cat, this is Jason, he is your new guitarist."

He held out his hand courteously and I shook it, "Pleasure to meet you Ms. Valentine, it is an honour to work with someone as talented as you."

Blushing I said thank you and released his hand, "Thank you, I look forward to working together."

My thoughts about Robbie where pushed to the back of my mind as I watched this young man tune his guitar, he plucked a few cords and then flawlessly started to play the introduction to my favourite song. He saw me staring at him and winked.

I could feel my cheeks flush as I quickly diverted my eyes and looked straight ahead, putting my microphone to my lips I waited, the intro finished and I began to sing.

I'm ready for my sound check boys.

Hello my lovelys!
What did you all think? Personally I loved Sean being the father figure to Robbie and Jess.

Although I did like the moment where he was looking after Jess :)

Love that Jade made a cameo! She will always be one of my favourites, I love her relationship with Robbie.

What do you all think of all the new kids that I have introduced?
Initially I was going to have Cat completely flip out over the Robbie paparazzi thing but it's only been a day and I want that to develop over time, to make it more realistic :)

Review and I will love you all forever! :)
