Disclaimer: I don't own Step Up 1 or 2 and you probably have saw this so many times, I shouldn't even put this on anymore, but you never know... :)
So guess what?! Midterms are officially over for me today! So that's why I started writing and eating a lot more junk food...I'm currently holding a cup filled with Sprite in my hands...a Sprite (don't own) I had to sneak in, but then people saw...so not so mysterious anymore. My family "things" as I say are still not over, they're ending pretty soon and I'm in Philadelphia for it this weekend. SO MIDTERMS OVER...for now! LOL Thanks for sticking with me if you did...hahaha and thanks for (insert activity, event, etc.)! Here's the next chapter!
Andie's POV:
"Why don't you just call him already? Because you're annoying the heck out of me!" Sophie says. It's not the first time I've heard that from her...it's been a week and she's been coming every morning and night, she practically lives here now.
"I don't want to."
"You know, I really hate Chase...but putting aside my hatred, why don't you just call him, so I don't have to go through this misery and torture with you!"
"No."
"Is this gonna be your life then? Break up with Chase means you sulk until who knows when! Make up with Chase means you go to London and get engaged without telling your best friend. Why don't you take a break and go out with other guys?"
"Because...that's like cheating."
"Just call him and tell him that you guys should take a break...maybe date other people."
"He'll freak."
"Do you want to date other people? I mean, lookie here." She points to my overfilled trash can, which is filled with tissues and ice cream cartons. "With all of that going for you, you better take the good ones now."
"Shut up. Seriously. I'm gonna die if I tell him we should date other people."
"What? Is he gonna stop you from doing it? He can't...remember you're you and he's him. What happened to independent, tough Andie?"
"She fell in love and lost her independence."
"Do you mean..."
"No! Sophie, I haven't gone that far yet...gosh, it's always you who thinks of the nasty things."
"Just call him, the studio is doing rehearsal tonight and you're scheduled to be there at 6:30, okay?
"Yeah...since you know I have no life, no man, and no good ice cream and tissues to help me get through the day."
"Seriously, you really need a reality check."
It's 6:25 and I'm on in 5 minutes...still haven't called him yet...I dial his number for the tenth time today. I chickened out the other nine times.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Andie?! Is that you? I'm sorry, please just talk to me." Chase says desperately.
"I'm talking, am I not?"
"Oh thank gosh! Are you okay? I'm sorry...I love you and miss you."
"I'm fine...we need to talk, Chase."
"Anything you want."
"I think..."
"You think what?"
"I think we need a break from each other." There's silence over the phone and then I hear some crashing noises.
"Why, Andie? Why would you want a break?"
"I just think that you and I need to sort things out on our own."
"I'm not an idiot, I know that's not your reason."
"I want to date other people."
"But we're engaged..."
"I know, that's why I want the break."
"I don't understand you now."
"Chase, I'm not speaking a foreign language. I want to take a break and date other people because we've dated each other for a long time and somehow both of us always ends up in heartbreak and I really can't take it this time."
"So you want to find a guy who won't make you cry anymore?"
"You think that's why I want to date? Chase, you don't get it, do you? We've been through so many things together and it always comes down to one thing: we're two wrongs trying to make everything right. We're not making anything right, we're just causing more troubles for ourselves, so lets just take the break and see all the things that could happen to us without each other."
"I don't agree to this at all."
"No one said you had to."
"Are you really doing this, Andie? You think this is gonna fix our problem? I swear, us being together does not create any chaos, it makes me happy and I know you're happy too. I'm not agreeing to this break and I'm not allowing you to see other people."
"You don't own me."
"I know, but I am your husband to be, so I'm saying no."
I was about to say something when Sophie comes in the door.
"Andie, lets go...you have to head out there."
I nod and put the phone back in my ear.
"Chase, I have to go."
"I'm still not agreeing."
"I don't care."
"So does that mean you stopped the agreement?"
"No. I'm taking the break in our relationship and I'm dating other people. I don't care if you don't agree or not, I'm living my life."
"But..." I hang up before he finishes his sentence. Seconds later, I hear the phone ring.
I look and see it's Chase.
Shocker.
I close the lights in my room and leave the phone there.
I need to be strong for myself, I need to find my old self.
First step: Tell Sophie to get me some dates.
Second Step: Go on the dates.
Third Step: ???
So what did you think? :)
I'm back in my writing mood, so don't you guys worry...updates are coming sooner and maybe a new story if I don't get a lot of homework?
Trivia is next time...I'm still on my writing high LOL
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed the chapter!
