Chapter 25: Keep Holding On
(Gunther P.O.V)
It's been over a couple days since CeCe and I had a conversation or seen each other. I'm slowly beginning to think what if CeCe and I don't get back together. Life will be miserable without her if she not here with me. I don't think that I have the strength to become king and run a country anymore. I just don't.
Why did she do this to me now and right before prom? Speaking of prom, I don't have a date nor do I want to go with anybody else. The whole school is looking forward to us being there. Plus, we were also nominated for prom king and queen.
Go figure right? Maybe if I call her to see how she's doing then she'll pick up. I take my phone off my night stand, pressed her number and I put the phone up to my ear. The phone continues to ring into it led me straight to voicemail.
"Hey, hey, hey! You reach CeCe Jones voice mail. Sorry I couldn't reach your call in time, but if you leave a name and number I promise I'll get back to you byes."
"Hey CeCe, I was just calling to check up on you. I know you're probably not in the mood to talk to anyone right now but –"I sob stopping in track. "I can't help myself but think of you every second of the day. It hurts me to say that every time I'm not with you a part of me is dying inside. If you care about my wellbeing then please give me a call back soon. The sound of your voice is all I ask of you. I'm still love you Cecelia Jones always and forever." I say hanging up the phone.
I threw my phone across the room then fell back on my bed. This has been the worst week of my life. I wish I could rewind time to fix every bad thing that's happen in the past.
Back when school started all I wanted to do was make CeCe life a living hell. This behavior had to do with her hurting my feelings back in pre-school. Now I feel like that same little boy that got his heart broken years ago. What is wrong with me?
"Gunther." Tinka says sticking her head through the door. She walks in my room and looks around before looking back at me. "Gosh Gunther, this room is a mess. I thought you would've fixed it back up by now."
"Tinka, please, right now is not the time." I say with my arm over my eyes.
"You were crying again weren't you?"
"Yes!" I shout glaring up at her. "Is that all Tinka?"
"No, Ty is on his way over here right now. That's why I came here in the first place. I'm going to tell him what happen between Beck and I."
"Oh goodly, more bullshit added to the pile of misfortune events."
"What are you saying brother twin of mine? I have a good feeling about this and I think Ty will leave this all behind us and forgive me."
"You know what Tinka bell?" I ask sitting up on my bed. "I'm starting to think he won't forgive you. Otherwise bad things wouldn't keep happening to us."
"I beg to differ! Rocky and Deuce may not be a couple no more along with you and CeCe but that doesn't mean the same thing will happen to us. Our relationship is completely different from yours or anybody else's"
"Blah, blah, blah. Are we done here now?" I ask rudely.
"You know what Gunther –UGH!" Tinka shout throwing a pillow at me. "Ever since CeCe broke up with you, you've been nothing but a jerk and nincompoop!"
"Oh yeah? Well the feelings are mutual Bay-bee!" I shout.
Tinka shakes her head in disappointment, "You are the same exact person you were 6 months ago and god I pray for you. "She explains leaving the room crying.
"AHHH!" I scream falling back on the bed again. "What is wrong with me?!"
(Tinka P.O.V)
Gunther and I haven't had an argument like that since forever. I pray every day that thing will get better for him. Then I pray for CeCe to take him back so that he could be happy again.
Why is everything falling downhill all of a sudden? I don't want to believe what Gunther said because I have faith in my relationship with Ty. Time will only tell and make the decisions for me. That's that way I see things.
I was looking at myself in the mirror and my make-up was mess up. I grab a tissue and wipe everything off my face. Unlike my friends, I don't need to wear make up most of the time. Ty likes his women natural.
"Tinka bell! Are you here?!" Ty shouts walking inside the house with the keys I gave him. My parents don't know that I gave him keys and I would like it to stay like that.
"I'm in here Ty!" I yell fixing myself up before walking out the bathroom.
"Hey babe." He greets giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey, what's that you got behind your back?"
"Oh, here." He murmur passing me a bouquet of tulips.
"AWW, Ty, you didn't have to." I gasp happily taking the flowers.
"I knew you would love them."
"Of course I do, they are my second favorite type of flowers."
"I know! That's why I got them." Ty smirks
"You remember after all this time?"
"Sure did, how could I forget anything you tell me? You're my girlfriend and I love you."
"I love you too Ty." I say shamelessly. "Let's sit down. I need to talk you about something." I explain taking his hand and walking over to the sofa.
"You're not pregnant are you? I could've sworn you were on the pill?"
"I am on the pill. However that's is not what I wanted to talk to you about." I reply putting the tulips on the lamp table.
"Alright, break it down to me then." He says waiting for me to say something.
"Something happen a couple of days ago that I'm not very happy about. You see me and Gunther when over to Jessabelle and Becks place because Gunther said he needed to talk to Jessabella about CeCe accident. Long story short, I wanted to ask Beck about what happen between him and Rocky. I taunt to him about breaking up a happy couple and things got out of hand."
Ty narrows his eyes slightly at me, "What do you me? Did he touch you? If he touched you Tinka then I swear I'll kill him. You know I'll do it."
"He when down on me." I blurt out.
Ty chuckles, "This is a joke right? Am I being Punk'd?" He asked stands up looking around. "Alright guys you got me! You can come out now!"
"Ty this isn't a joke. He when down on me and we also shared a kiss. But don't get me wrong though I really try to push him away."
"You didn't try hard enough if he got to 3rd base."
"Ty please, just listen." I say trying to take him hand. He roughly pulls away and looks at me with so much anger.
"Don't touch me! How could you do this to me Tinka?! You are no better than Rocky. I don't want to talk to you nor do I even want to look at you right now." He explains with tears in his eyes.
"Please Ty, let me finish explaining!"
"No!" He screams backing away. "Go to hell." He says leaving outside the front door and slamming it behind him.
I fell on the floor crying hysterically. I felt like everything was starting to fall apart, especially with me and Ty. I guess Gunther was right after all, things are starting to get worst.
(Rocky P.O.V)
"He left me a message. Shouldn't I give him a call back?" CeCe asks me.
"I don't know it's up to you. I don't have any say in your relationship with Gunther, CeCe." I reply.
For some reason CeCe has been spending a lot time at my house lately and I think I know why. She doesn't want to run into Gunther because she afraid to face him. This was CeCe first day back in school and she's been ducking and dodging him all-day. She didn't even come to the cafeteria for lunch with us and I'm really worried about her.
"Do you think I did the right thing by breaking up with him? Because I feel like a total idiot for doing what I did to Gunther. I love him and he loves me. That should be good enough right?"
I nod, "Yes, then again your only doing what you think is right. Somebody is out to get you guys and you're only trying to protect him. Yeah it's hard on him but we do stupid things for the ones we love."
"Then why are you not trying to work out things with Deuce?"
Nothing more will make me happy then to forgive him. But sadly I can't, because he slept with his ex-girlfriend who he once loved. Am I wrong for breaking up with him? Because I feel the same way CeCe is feeling right now. I don't want her to know the truth, because then she will think I'm a hypocrite.
Oh my god, I am a hypocrite! I slept with a guy claiming to Deuce that I didn't like Beck in that type of way. Well I lied, I do like Beck a little more then I should and that's what's driving me crazy. Truth be told, my heart will always belong to Deuce because I love him.
"Rocky are you even listening?"
"Sorry CeCe, continue." I answer breaking out of my thoughts.
"Like I was saying to you before, maybe I shouldn't have broken up with Gunther. I'm completely miserable without him and I don't know what else to do." She says wiping away her tears.
"CeCe, don't cry. Things will work it's self out just trust me." I explain holding her.
"If that's the case then why are we not with Gunther and Deuce right now?" she asks looking up at me with her face drench in tears.
"I –I don't know." Was all I can say before the door burst open and an angry Ty walks in.
"What's his problem?" CeCe murmur sniffling.
"Ty is everything okay?" I asked.
He glares at me before specking, "No, everything is not alright! My girlfriend cheated on me with Beck."
"She did what!" CeCe and I shout with wide eyes.
"They kissed and he when down on her." Ty says trying to hold back the tears.
"That doesn't sound like something Tinka would do." CeCe says.
I look at her, "How would you know CeCe? It's hard to trust anybody these days."
"You should talk, it's not like you didn't fall for Beck charm either." CeCe says getting fussy.
My eyes lit up in shock "No comments."
"See, I just proved my point." She says.
"CeCe you don't know what I've been through in these past couple of days."
"Oh yeah I don't? I've been your best friend for years Rocky and the older you get the bitterer and bitchy you become."
"Oh please! You broke up with your boyfriend because you're a scaredy cat. Any other girl that loves their man would've kept holding on no matter how hard it gets." I taunt.
"Guy's I thought this was about me and my problems with Tinka?" Ty asks.
CeCe chuckles, "Take a look in the mirror Rocky because you just won hypocritical bitch of the year." CeCe says picking up her crutches and started walking to the door. She takes one good glance at me and says "At least I know I made a mistake and I'm not afraid to admit that. See you later Ty."
"Later CeCe." Ty replies closing the door behind her.
"She right, I need to talk to Tinka." I say putting the plates in the dish washer.
"When you go over their tell Tinka I would like my jacket back. She had it for way to long and I want it back." Ty explains. He was through the back and goes into him room.
(Gunther P.O.V)
I was at Crusty's that night because I was extremely hungry. I haven't ate in 3 days now. Sure I drank a couple bottles of water and ate a couple candy bar here and there. Unfortunately, I can't survive of sugar and water for the rest of my life.
"So Gunther, what are we having tonight?" Deuce asks with his note pad and pen already out.
"Deuce I want the best pizza you got here and make it snappy." I explain.
"One meat lover's pizza coming up."
"That's CeCe favorite pizza." I say looking up at him sadly. "She gets that every time we come here."
"Yeah, sorry about you and CeCe. How are you holding up without her?"
"Not so good Deuce. I'm a total wreck without her in my life."
"Don't worry Gunther, she'll come running back to you and I mean what I say."
"I hope so. She hasn't answered any of my phone calls or text messages. I showed up to her doorstep the other day and her mom tells me that CeCe didn't want to see me. Do you know how much that hurts a guy to hear that their girlfriend doesn't want to see them?"
"Yes I do, Rocky hasn't been a run in the ball park either. That's why I'll be waiting here for her into she ready to takes me back."
"What if she doesn't come back?" I ask.
Deuce shrugs, "Then I will survive right."
Deuce is completely right. Too bad I can't be that way. Truth of the matter is that I need CeCe in my life.
"Well goodnight gentlemen." Jessabelle greets with a smile.
I roll my eyes, "Why are you here Jessabelle?"
"I'm here because Beck and I wanted a size of pizza." Jess replies.
"Beck is here?" Deuce asks looking around. "Where is that cocky bastard? I want to give him a piece of my mind."
Jess giggles, "In the car waiting for me. Why?"
"Because he broke me and Rocky apart that's why and now he's going to pay." Deuce explains.
Jess snorts, "That was bound to happen."
"Excuse me?" Deuce asks getting pissed off.
"Ignore her Deuce, she'll go away eventually." I say,
Jess leans down on the table, "That's what you think." She says corking her eyebrow up at me. "Ta-ta for now." She says weaving goodbye.
"I don't like that girl one bit." Deuce comments.
"Join the club." I agree.
(Tinka P.O.V)
I was laying down watching the Notebook in the family room, when I heard a knock at the door. I got up off the sofa and ran over to open it.
"Rocky what are you doing here 9 o'clock at night?" I ask.
"Why did you do it Tinka?" Rocky asks.
"Do what?"
"Why did you cheat on my brother with Beck?"
"Woo ho ho! Wait a minute, I know you did not just go there Rocky?"
"Yes I did, you still had feelings for Beck and that's why you let him go down on you."
"You don't know shit Rocky! How dare you excuse me of something like this? We are friends remember?"
"I'm aware of that. I'm also aware that the only reason why you let him go that to you was because you're jealous that he wants me." She explains.
I chuckle, "Your delusional Rocky! If you think the only reason why I did this was get back at you, then you got another thing coming Sherlock's."
"You really couldn't think of another way to get back at me could you Tinka? You just had to break my brother heart did you? By the way, he wants his jacket back."
"Didn't you hear me the first time you cuckoo? I didn't want him to touch me Rocky, but somehow he forced me into it and my body completely shut down!"
"Mines did too." I mumble to myself.
"What did you just say? I ask making sure I heard her correctly.
"Nothing, just forget I even said anything and just screw the jacket. Ty will have to come and pick it up himself. See you around." She explains leaving the front door.
"What has gotten into that girl?" I ask myself.
