She heard the mail clatter through from the bathroom and raced downstairs
with a dripping wet face. Mrs. Moore got there first.
"No Robbyn, not today." She said as Robbyn jumped from three steps.
"It's been not today every day." Robbyn groaned folding her arms.
"Well whose fault is that? It's not mine or your Dad's so stop acting like it is."
"I'm not."
"You are. You're also acting like a sulking child whose been told no more candy and you have been ever since Zach went away."
"Don't be absurd."
Mrs. Moore smiled. "I may look like an old fool, but I'm not. I see more then you might think."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Robbyn replied, drying her face on the sleeve of her pyjama top.
"You seem to forget I was 19 once."
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"Everyone can see it besides you."
"See what?! Mom, what are you going on about? One second you're talking about candy and then you can suddenly see something I can't!"
Mrs. Moore kept on smiling. "Robbyn, you obviously feel something very deep for Zach, if you didn't you wouldn't be groaning around."
Robbyn stopped drying her face. "Have you been talking to Gina ? Because I swear you sound exactly like her."
"No I haven't, and what does that tell you?"
"That the whole has gone mad maybe."
"There is no hope for you." Mrs. Moore kissed Robbyn's forehead. "When is he back?"
"Wednesday, but we're not going out until Friday."
"Ah! So you do know what I'm talking about."
She went off into the living room with the mail and Robbyn settled herself on the bottom step. Her life had been turned upside down in some many different ways. Two months and a half months ago she'd been taking her brother's brand new car for a drive when she got into an accident and a stranger saved her life, now, this stranger was rapidly meaning more to her then she ever would of guessed. If it sounded as simple as that, why was she so confused?
Robbyn couldn't help it, she tried to control herself but as soon as she saw Zach she had to throw her arms around him.
"How was Australia?" she asked.
"Nice, hot, the usual." He replied. "Miss me?"
She smiled. "No, me and Gina went out on Thursday and we got a few numbers."
"So you won't want this then?"
Zach handed over a plastic bag and inside was a tiny stuffed kangaroo holding a heart that stated 'I love Australia'
"Thank you." She said kissing him on the cheek. "Did you go see the Sydney Opera House?"
"No, I didn't have time."
"Shame. I always wanted to go to Australia, but the furthest I've been is Arizona and that was with you. You should be proud of that. But you have to stop taking me places like that or I'll want to change my career and become a diva."
"I can't see it happening." Zach said.
"Why not? Are you saying I'm not tough? Or pretty? Is that it?"
"No. I never said that."
"You aren't doing much to get back into my good books are you?"
"I didn't know I was in the bad."
Robbyn linked arms with him and swung the bag with her toy in. "Typical man. Anyway, why couldn't I be a diva?"
"Well, what would you do? You can't wrestle."
She pretended to be offended. "I can so, ask my brother, I use to kick his ass when I was younger."
"How much younger?"
"I was 9, but I could still have it."
They decided to go to a restaurant and didn't speak much as they looked over their menu's. Robbyn had too much on her mind. She picked the first thing off the page when the waiter came over.
"Did you like the postcard?" Zach asked. "I didn't know whether to get that one or......."
"You mean the invisible postcard?" Robbyn cut in.
"Invisible?"
"Yes. You never sent one."
"I did."
"Then it must be invisible."
"No, I asked Stephanie to send it."
She nodded. "That's it then." she mumbled.
"What?"
"Nothing. It must of gotten lost."
"Bitch!" Gina spat. "Complete and utter bitch. Cute Kangaroo. I mean how low can you sink? That's petty, that's nasty, that's....bitch!"
Robbyn was nodding in agreement as she paced up and down in the little space that allowed her to do so.
"What am I going to do? How can I make it clearer to her when she's with him all the time and I'm here."
"Bitch. Ripping up a postcard, it's not like......wait." Gina stopped and looked like she'd just seen Jesus. "You don't think there was something on it she didn't want you to see?"
"Like what?"
"Three small words every girl longs to hear."
"No!" Robbyn said with intensity but then added. "You don't think so do you?"
"Yeah, totally. Well, maybe he didn't, maybe she's just a spiteful bitch and wanted to make you think that so you'd say it back, and she knows he doesn't feel the same way and he'll get freaked out and you'll be out of the picture."
"Thanks Gina, that helps so much."
"You have to do something and soon."
"Like what?"
"I don't know, just something, anything so she get's the message. Oh ! Oh! Fake pregnancy."
"One more stupid suggestion like that and I'm going to slap you." Robbyn warned still pacing.
"Poison pen letter. No, don't hit me! I'm trying to help. Look you think of something better." "I can't do this. "Robbyn said, stopping and leaning against her desk. "I can't fight against someone who isn't around. It's stupid. I can't do it."
"You can't give up Red, Zach doesn't want her anyway."
"He doesn't want her now, how do we know he doesn't anyway, we're guessing. "
"Red, I saw you two together and you could have something special. Don't let some nasty bitch spoil it for you. Alright?"
Robbyn didn't reply. She took her kangaroo off the desk and held it to her chest, hoping it would bring some sort of solution to her problems.
~* Thank you Ellie! Where would I be without you! the next chapter might take awhile because i'm stuck for ideas. Any help would be appriciated (not because I'm lazy and can't think for myself, I like to hear what my audience thinks, lol!) -Kiera*~
