Hello everyone! My day has been kind of dreary. Boys are so frustrating! Oh well, that's why I always turn to fanfic! Ready for chapter 26? Well, here it is! I shall see you at the bottom of the page! :)
ROBBIE'S POV
I didn't want to say anything further because I knew she would need time to think about this, and honestly, I didn't want to be around when she did. I left the room with a slight nod of the head and a softly spoken "okay." As I walked home, the sky continued to get darker and darker. I waited for it to rain, and in no time at all, it was pouring. When I got home I immediately got in my car and drove to the nearest coffee shop. I needed some caffeine and relaxation to clear my head. When I sat down with my laptop, I noticed a tall blonde headed girl staring at me. She was holding a coffee pot and was constantly glancing over at me with a smile on her face. I ignored her, focusing on my thoughts.
"I don't need Lizzie. There are plenty of other girls in the world. If she doesn't want me then she isn't worth it." I thought to myself. Just then the blonde girl strutted over to me and sat down in the chair across from me.
"Hey cutie. You're that guy from OUAT...Robbie Kay, right?" She asked as she put her elbow on the table and put her chin in her hand.
"Yeah, why?" I asked as I looked up from the computer screen.
"Why do you look so sad? A hot boy like you should be out with a pretty girl like me. Come on, Robbie, let's get outta here." She said as she swirled her finger over my hand.
"Sorry, I don't go out with artificial girls." I replied. She scooted the chair back, shocked by my rejection. It was then that I realized I didn't want any other girl but Lizzie. She was in no way fake or stuck up, she was just different. All of a sudden, I got a text message from Lizzie herself, all though this time it wasn't good news.
LIZZIE'S POV
I had honestly convinced myself that Mason would be the better choice for me. As much as I wanted to run back to Robbie, I knew that if I did I would end up heart broken. This would be the hardest conversation I would ever have to have with someone. I hesitantly picked up my phone, sending Robbie a text with my decision. His reply was something that I was not expecting.
"Whatever makes you happy. I wish you the best." No fight back, no arguing, no objection.
"That was easier than I thought." I said to myself. I went across the street to Mason's to tell him the news. All he could do was smile and hug me. As I squeezed him tightly, all I could tell myself was that I had made the right decision.
"Okay, so I was thinking for our first official date we go to dinner tonight. How about the Italian place on Magnolia...meet you there?" He asked. I smiled and nodded. "Great! See you tonight! I gotta get to work helping my mom clean the house." He said. I spent all afternoon getting ready, but I could still feel deep inside that something was wrong.
"What are you getting all dressed up for?" Aunt Nellie asked as she came in my bedroom.
"I'm going out with Mason tonight." I said as I brushed through my hair.
"I have to admit that I was a little surprised that you chose Mason and not Robbie. He's going back to London for a photo shoot tonight anyway, so I guess you will be rid of him for good." She said.
"I think secretly you are wanting me to change my mind." I said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Maybe I am. Honey, I just don't want you to make a mistake on this. No matter what you may believe, I think you and Robbie could have been really happy. No matter what the circumstances with distance I think it could have worked!" She said.
"I know you are just trying to look out for me, but my life would never be normal again! People would follow me around everywhere and I would never have any privacy. Life would just become too hard." I said.
"Maybe, but you would have Robbie, and no matter what you do, Mason will never be him." She said. I had no response to this. She hardly looked me in the eye as she exited the room and went back downstairs with Christopher. I left the house that night without saying goodbye, too happy to even think to say it. When I arrived at the restaurant, I went in early to go to the bathroom and make sure I was presentable. When six o'clock came, and Mason hadn't shown up, I started to wonder what was going on. I went outside and looked around, seeing his car, but not him. The next thing I heard was talking around the side of the building.
"Come on baby trust me it's not like that with her. I'm gonna dump her before you know it. You'll see." The voice said. I tip toed closer and leaned my head around the side. Sure enough, there was Mason, his arms wrapped around this tall blonde with coffee stains on her shirt.
"Alright. If you say so." She said. Before Mason could see me I ran back into the restaurant and sat in my seat.
"Sorry I'm so late." He said as he came inside and sat down in the seat beside me. I smiled brightly and looked down at the menu. The waiter brought me a cup of coffee and I thanked him. "Why did you order coffee when it's so hot outside?" He asked.
"Oh, this? No, no. This isn't for me." I said as I got up out of my chair. I poured the entire cup of hot coffee on that boy's head. "Why don't you just leave me alone and go back to your little coffee girl. I'm sure she is just as hot headed as the coffee." I said. I picked up my purse and walked out of the restaurant, listening to the claps of the other customers around me. I looked at my watch, it was almost seven. Robbie's plane left in a half an hour. The rain started back, pouring down on my head. My make up drooped down my face, my hair became a soaking wet mess, my dress was now a blood red, but I didn't care. I had no time to change. I ran home, throwing my purse inside the front door, and then ran back down the stairs. The airport was not far, so I took a cab.
"Sorry, miss. Looks like we are going to be stuck in traffic for a while. The rain isn't letting up and the roads are getting clogged up with cars." The driver said.
"I don't have that much time!" I said. I thought for a minute, then decided I had to do what I had to do. I threw the guy his money, got out of the car, and took off running down the road in the pouring rain. I was so fed up with the heels I was wearing that I took them off and ran with them in hand. People watched me as I ran in, soaked from head to toe and dripping all over the floor, but I didn't even notice. I ran to the board and checked the flights; the soonest one to London had just departed.
So, turns out Mason was just a plain jerk. Just like some of the guys I have come to know lately haha! The flight for London has just departed. Will she still go after Robbie, or will she feel bad about her mistake and give up? What do you think is going to happen next? I hope you all enjoyed this chapter!
