Hello once again audience. Oh, Tobuscus is awesome. Sorry, I couldn't resist myself. Anyway, I would like to apologize for the slight delay in my updating. You see, I have been busy with some life choices. For starters, I have officially dropped out of college. Yeah, I know, not what some people would call the smartest. Just felt like it was not for me. Secondly, I have been fairly busy with my music. I am an aspiring country music artist, and have been spending the majority of my time that I am not working practicing my voice or practicing my piano and guitar.
But in light of tonight's second to last episode of Victorious (insert sad face right here), I wanted to update. While I am on topic of the episode, I have to admit, I almost peed myself when Sikowitz was making fun of Tori and getting dragged by the fake dog.
Back on topic; without further ado, I give you the new chapter of We're Lovers, Willingly.
Chapter 3
Robbie's POV
The weekend passed by fairly quickly. I finished up my remaining homework, and the rest of my time was spent with Jade watching movies, hanging out with the gang, or making out. She stayed at my house the rest of the weekend. My dad is cool with it, as he trusts me, and he knows that Jade doesn't exactly get along well with her dad. Honestly, if it wasn't for James and Demon, I am pretty sure she would have moved out a long time ago.
The school day passed by fairly quickly, thankfully. I am not much of a Monday person. I actually don't know many people who are. The gang all decided to get together at Tori's after school and just hang out. It was nearing November, and though nobody wanted to talk about it, we were running out of time to be together. It was senior year, and after the year was over, we would all be going our separate ways. So there we were, all gathered in the living room, watching Drake and Josh on TV.
Tori was sitting next to Andre, really close to Andre actually. I think they have been talking about dating, and it's about time. Andre has been in to her ever since she came to Hollywood Arts, and has had multiple talks to Beck and I about it. Jade was cuddled up in my arms, and Beck was next to Cat. After we finished a few episodes, Beck decided to break the silence.
"So, what's going to happen after graduation?"
Nobody wanted to answer. Honestly, I was not sure what I was going to do after the summer was over. I know Jade was going to NYU, and honestly, I was looking into UCLA, USC, and Stanford. I didn't want to bring it up to her just yet, so I kept silent.
Andre was the first one to speak up.
"I am not sure right now. I honestly am going wherever my music takes me man."
Cat was the next one to speak.
"I am going to UCLA. I got my acceptance letter the other day actually."
We all congratulated her, and then Tori spoke.
"It's like Andre said, wherever my music takes me, but I am looking at USC right now."
Jade decided to speak up next.
"I'm planning on going to NYU."
Everyone turned their eyes to me. I decided to just make something up right now.
"I am not sure yet, I have acceptance letters from UCLA, USC, and Stanford, but I have not made a choice on any of them yet."
Beck spoke up again.
"I am planning on taking a year off from school to tour the country, and then make my decision on where to go to school."
Honestly, his idea sounded pretty good to me. I would enjoy seeing the states. I have not been out of California but one time, and I was little, so I really can't remember it all that much.
Everyone then went back to being silent for a little while, until once again, Beck broke the silence.
"Alright, I want us all to make a promise. No matter what happens, no matter how far we a separated as friends, that we will keep in touch and meet back up the next summer right back here in LA. Can you guys promise that?"
That seemed to pick up everyone else's mood a little bit, because we were all smiling at each other.
"Promise", everyone said at the same time.
"Good deal, now let's go get dinner at Nozu."
It was a good idea, I was pretty hungry, and by the sound of Jade's stomach while we were watching Drake and Josh, so was she. Everyone got up and went to their cars and drove to Nozu. After we finished eating, everyone went home since it was getting pretty late. I took Jade back to my place, as she wanted to stay there tonight since her family was out of town for James' soccer game.
We were sitting on my couch that night, and I figured that I should probably talk to her about college. Now was a good of a time as any at least, so I tapped her on the shoulder to get her attention.
"Hey babe, I need to talk to you about something."
She looked at me smiling with eyes that said "go ahead, I'm listening".
"Umm, I am not sure where to start, but it's about college. I am thinking about going to Stanford. I wanted to talk to you about it because you will be in New York, which is all the way across the country. I wanted to know how you felt about it."
She gave me a sad look, took a deep breath, and spoke.
"Honestly Robbie, I don't really like the fact that you would be so far away, but I can't stop you, and if you want to go to Stanford, I won't stop you or get in your way."
'At least she is semi understanding', I thought to myself.
"I guess what I want to know is, when the time comes, what is going to become of us? Would you be willing to try out the long distance thing?"
She was silent for a long time, and finally spoke up.
"Let's cross that bridge when we come to it."
I guess honestly that it was the best answer I could have gotten at the time. I didn't really want to think about it, but it was bound to come up sooner or later. The rest of the night passed as I held her in my arms, and soon sleep overtook us both.
So yeah, I apologize. It's not my best work, but the next update, which if I have time will be tomorrow, will be much better. I appreciate your patience. Don't forget to drop a review in the review area and let me know what you think. Hope you enjoyed it.
Lord Nune out. Boop! (sorry, I am in a Tobuscus mood today)
