Robbie's P.O.V: Choosing
Reminder: In this story, Robbie and Lily are purely platonic friends. Robbie doesn't like her like that.
Like I always say...let the choices begin and make that review out to cassgrl087!
I hung up with Ray feeling more confused than ever. Maybe what I said to Lily had really made her feel bad. I mean, she was crying when I left. Never, all the years we've been friends had I ever said something like that. But then, she went off and was making out with Travis. At least, according to Ray. She probably could have been doing something innocent like hugging him...but...I don't know. I can't think. Then the phone rings agian. I sigh and pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Robbie. It's Judy."
"Hey." I smiled. At least I could get my mind off of Lily.
"So, where you wanna go tonight?" She asked.
"I was thinking since we went to your place last time we could go to Mickey's" Yeah, that and I don't have any cash left. But I couldn't tell her that. I could hear her sigh on the other line.
"But Robbie!" She whined. I was lucky I couldn't see her cause she was probably giving me those puppy dog eyes.
"Mickey's atmosphere is different."
"Yeah, different if you mean dirty." She scoffed. I rolled my eyes.
"I'll meet you there in a half hour, okay?" I said.
"Yeah, I guess. Hey, Robbie? Wear that shirt we picked out. The one with the stripes?"
"Okay."
"Thank you Robbie." I could hear her smiling. "I'll talk to you later!"
"Bye." I said as I hung up the phone. Its not that I don't like Judy. I do. But I'm starting to think that maybe we don't click as well as I thought. I mean, sure, we can't deny the chemistry we've been having but...shouldn't there be something more? I shrugged off that feeling and put on the striped polo shirt Judy was talking about. After I got dressed I looked into the mirror. I hardly recognized myself. I mean, my hair's the same, but thats about it. My pants were the designer kind...no wonder I'm broke. Judy got my the shirt and my shoes were nothing I would ever wear unless I were going to a wedding or something. But I reminded myself that clothing doesn't matter. It's the person that does. (Robbie's so cheesy, isn't he?) I walked to Mickey's alone and got there a tad bit late.
"Robbie!" Judy exclaimed, waving me over to a seat with her. I nodded and sat down. "Be a sweetheart and get me a coffee, would you? Two creams, one sugar. Thanks!" I raised my eyebrow but went to get it for her anyway.
"Hi Mickey." I sighed.
"Hey Kid. How's life?" He greeted. I looked around to see if anyone was watching.
"Not good."
"How come?" He asked.
"I dunno. My friends think that I'm skipping out with them to be with my girlfriend. And she's really great, you know? But...I'm not happy." Mickey nodded.
"Well, Robbie, you have to do the things you want to do. The stuff that makes you happy. That's all I can tell you." He shrugged and then said, "So, what is it that you want?" How about a better life, I thougth to myself.
"One latte and one coffee. Two creams, one sugar."
"You got it." He said and went back to get it. I sighed. Once they were ready and I was seated back with Judy, she looked at me expectantly.
"What?" I asked.
"What's up with you? What's wrong?" She asked, resting her chin on her hand.
"It's my friend Lily. She thinks that I'm spending too much time with you...and not with my other friends." I said causiously.
"She's jealous." Judy said simply.
"She thinks I'm changing."
"Well, you are!" She exclaimed. Now I was really confused. "Now, you're the perfect boyfriend." She kissed me on the cheek. I didn't really notice.
"But I don't want to change." I said stubbornly. "Anyway, I said something really mean to Lily-"
"Which I'm sure she totally deserved." Judy commented, taking a sip of her coffee.
"What?"
"I mean, this Lily girl is obviously so jealous of us, she wants to break us up."
"She's not like that." I protested.
"Then why is she acting like it?" She said.
"Judy, you don't even know her!" I said. Judy rolled her eyes.
"Let's not talk about this girl. She's obviously one of your sore spots...."
"You asked me what was wrong." I accused.
"Yeah. And 'Lily' is all you ever talk about. So lets change the subject!" There was fire in her eyes.
"Change the subject? Oh, so now we can talk about what you're wearing to the party, which is so much more important then problems I'm having with one of my best friends!" I said sarcastically. She was taken back.
"Look, Robbie." She said in a dark tone, her eyes narrowing. "You've made it very clear that you care a lot about Lily Randall. And I think that you care way more about her then you do about me." I raised an eyebrow. "So either you can date me, still. Or go find you're little friend and apologize and say goodbye to all this." She said, "And me." I stared at her just now discovering who she really was. She didn't care about me or my problems. She cared about her status. She cared about what people thought of her and how she looked and how popular she was. I slowly got up out of my seat.
"Fine." I said. "If you want me to choose between you and Lily...There isn't even a choice." I grabbed my wallet off the table and walked out of Mickey's.
