Good morning to everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic week so far! Have I ever mentioned how much I hate that school keeps me so busy?! I am having to post chapters from school now! Oh well. Better than not posting at all! Ready for another chapter? I know I am. Here is chapter 25! I hope you love it and I shall see you at the bottom of the page :)

LIZZIE'S POV

I didn't want to listen any further to what she had to say. I already had all the information I needed. Now that I knew the truth, though, this was going to make my decision ten times harder. I still didn't want to make the decision right away, so I decided to do some extra investigating. When I walked in the front door late that night, Aunt Nellie and Christopher were standing in front of it with an angry look on their faces.

"Where have you been?! You about gave me a heart attack! We tried calling you and texting you but you never answered!" Nellie said as she ran over to me and hugged me tightly.

"I told Nellie that you were surely just out getting something to eat or something, but no, she wouldn't listen to me." Christopher said as he started towards the kitchen. Nellie walked over to the couch and sat down, letting out a large sigh as she did so. If there was one thing I knew about her, it was that she worried about everything. I took my phone out of my pocket, seeing that it was dead.

"Well, I'm here now. I'm safe and sound." I said as I put my bag down by the door and went to sit beside her. She sat up straight, put her hand on my leg, and took a deep breath.

"Now, I am not a mother, yet at least, and you are the closest thing I have to a daughter, so I am going to try to give you some motherly advice. You have every right not to believe Robbie, but don't put your walls up so fast, darling. He might just be telling the truth, so don't make any rushed decisions." She said. I smiled and gathered my thoughts.

"I found out everything. On my way home tonight I heard Nicole talking to Vanessa on the phone. I know she lied about the whole thing." I said. Her face lit up at the news of my discovery.

"Oh, honey! That's wonderful! Oh, you two are going to be very happy being together again! I am so excited for you. Look at me, I feel like a teenager again!" She said with a small chuckle.

"I didn't say I was going to take him back." I replied. She looked at me puzzled, and all of a sudden her smile disappeared from her lips. "Now that I have met Mason, I have to take both options into consideration. Like I said, Mason can give me a normal relationship away from all the attention and paparazzi. Yet, Robbie and I have so much history together, and I haven't quite gotten over him.

"Well, I guess that is good that you are thinking it over. I would hate it if you made the wrong decision. In these situations, making the wrong decision can leave you full of regret, and once you realize it's wrong, it's very hard to make right again." She said. I told her goodnight, and watched her disappear from my sight as I walked up the staircase. In my bedroom, I was confused and overwhelmed with stress. My parents said it would be good to come down here and get away for a while, well, to me, that didn't seem to be the case. The next morning was far from sunny and bright. The sky looked as if it were still night time, and the clouds looked as if they were angry at the Earth below.

"Great. Another day of darkness." I said as I got out of bed and went into the bathroom.

ROBBIE'S POV

I could see it in Lizzie's face that she was hurt when she walking back up the steps yesterday. What did Nicole say this time? Could she have done any more damage than she already did before? Lizzie's house came into sight as I walked through the neighborhood that morning. I stopped at the front of the driveway, contemplating whether I dare go up to that door and ring the bell. I should have just turned back right then, forgotten about her, and moved on with my life, but something inside me said that it was not that simple. I trudged up the large concrete hill, up the steps, and confidently rang the doorbell. Nellie answered with a bright smile on her face.

"Oh, Robbie! How good to see you! Did Lizzie call you? Oh I hope she did!" And that was all she said before she disappeared in the kitchen. I assumed that meant for me to come in, so I did. Why was she so excited that I was here? I leaned forward, catching her glimpse while she was at the counter. She motioned for me to go upstairs, so I did.

"Lizzie. Lizzie come on open up. You can't avoid me forever." I said as I knocked on her door. The door opened, and there she was. She had her hair tied up in a towel, and was just putting on her dark blue cardigan. She said nothing, instead giving me a half smile and saying I could come in. She sat over at her vanity and grabbed her eye shadow pallet.

"Okay, look, I know-"

"Robbie you don't have to say anything." She said as she turned around, brush in hand. "I passed your house last night on the way home, and I heard Nicole talking on the phone to Vanessa. They made up the whole thing, so I know the truth. She really needs to start watching who is around her." She said.

"Really?! You know everything?!" My eyes lit up a the thought of having her back in my life again.

"Don't get too excited just yet. Mason, the guy across the street, also kind of likes me. I have to choose, and I haven't decided what to do yet. I have to weigh my options and pick the best one. I really don't want to make the wrong decision here." She said. My heart pretty much just stopped right there.

So, most conflicts are resolved by now, except for one really important one. Team Mason or Team Robbie? Who do you think she will choose? I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Remember to R and R and follow/favorite! :)
