Next Chapter up... Thanks pretty-moon-princess for your comment, glad you liked it. A joint fanfic's a good idea...maybe we could do two point of views or something (like Robbie's and Kim's P.O.V) Or something like that anyway. Hope you like this...
Chapter 2:
"Hey Rob." Kim said as I came into the surf club.
"Oh, hey." I said, trying my best to avoid all eye contact with him...god he was looking damfine today...nope...don't go there Robbie....
"Is there something wrong?" He asked, looking concerned.
"Yeah, but I don't wanna talk about it. Especially with you." Kim looked puzzled.
"What's happened?"
"Tasha happened." I said shortly.
"Come again?"
"We broke up."
"Oh. I thought everything was going well between you two?"
"You thought wrong." I said. I don't know why I was taking it out on him, he hadn't made me feel this way about him. I guess it was easier than saying what I really thought. I started walking off again.
"Rob mate." I heard Kim call after me.
"I just wanna be on my own. I'll see ya round."
Kim nodded slightly and frowned as Robbie walked off, remembering what he'd said to him. Especially with you. What was that supposed to mean?
As Robbie walked back to his house, he saw Tasha on the beach, by their favourite spot. His thoughts of Kim went out the window when he saw her. She was gorgeous, why had he let her dump him? All he wanted to do was to run up to her and tell her that he didn't have feelings for Kim anymore and she was the one he wanted, but somehow, something else in his head was telling him different.
"Hey Rob." Mum greeted me with one of those familiar smiles fixed on her face.
"Hey." I replied back, but with as much enthusiasm as the thought of chopped up, raw liver.
"Something wrong love?"
"No, I'm just great." I said sarcastically, snapping back at her. Her face fell slightly which made me feel even worse than before. "Sorry mum, I shouldn't take it out on you. I'm going to my room." I pushed past Scott slightly before heading up the stairs.
"What's his problem?" I overheard Scott say.
I slumped down on my bed, restlessly trying to figure things out in my head. An hour later there was a knock at my bedroom door. "Come in." I replied lazily, barely bothering to open my mouth. Kim came into the room, seeing him, I sat up hurriedly, not sure whether to be pleasedor disappointed to see him. "Uh…hey Kim."
"Hey. Rob,you left in a bit of a hurry earlier."
"Yeah, sorry about that."
"That's okay, but…uh…Rob, when we were talking earlier, you said you didn't want to talk about it, especially with me. What did you mean?"
This was the way to put me on the spot. What was I meant to say to this?That when I'm with my girlfriend your the one i'm thinking about, andthat was the reason I broke up with Tasha? Don't think so.
"Uh, no reason really." I said, obviously not convincing him.
"Come on Rob. You wouldn't have said it if you didn't mean something by it. Tell me."
"Okay, but are you sure you can take it?" I asked.
"Yeah of course I'm sure." He said, slightly amused by this.
"Okay, well, you were the reason me and Tash broke up."
"You mean, she likes me?" I shook my head at this.He was way off the mark."Then what else could it be?" Kim caught my eye for a moment and I think he figured straight away what it was. "Oh right. You mean... it's you that likes me."
I nodded slightly and shut my eyes, by this time, really wanting the ground to physicallyswallow me up.Then I heard him laugh slightly. Oh great, now he was taking the piss out of me. Fantastic.
"What are you laughing at?" I snapped.
"Nothing, really." He said, but still with that look on his face.I wasn't convinced.
"The fact that I've just said I'm in love with you was hard enough but now your laughing at me!" I jumped up from my bed and made for the door.
"Your in love with me?" I stopped at the doorway. Dam. Did I just say that?
"What?" I replied puzzled.
"You just said you were in love with me."
"No I didn't." I lied, trying to at least save some of my remaining dignity. "Yes you did."
"Did I? Must have been slip of the tongue, it happens. So yeah, anyway, I have to go. So, unless you want to spend the rest of the day in my room then I suggest you do too."
"Ah Rob…" I ignored him and started rushing down the stairs. Hearing Kim's footsteps following me.
"Rob…I think we should talk about this…" He was cut off when we both noticed Tasha standing in the doorway, mum greeting her cheerily.
"Tasha just arrived love, I…" She was then cut off by Tasha speaking.
"Actually, I just remembered, I have to be somewhere else. I wouldn't want to get in the way here." I cringed inside as she said this, pointedly at me and Kim. Tasha just gave me the most saddened look ever before rushing out the house.
"Tash-" I called feebly after her. Mum just stared at me and Kim puzzled.
"What was that about?"
"Doesn't matter. I'll go after her." I ran off after Tasha, Kim blatantly following me. This was going to be hard enough, without the need of an audience. Hell! Especially him.
All three of us came to a halt when we arrived at Irene's place. "Tash-will you just stop for a second." Instead of letting me explain what happened she just locked the back door on us hurriedly. We saw Irene and Kane coming into the kitchen puzzled, after hearing me shouting after Tasha. "Tash love, what's wrong?" We could hear Irene say.
"Whatever you do, do not let him in." Him, meaning me. I never thought I'd hear Tasha use that tone of voice with me. Cliché I know, but it was actually heartbreaking.
"Tash! We weren't doing anything I swear." I called through the door, hoping she'd change her mind and hear me out. No such luck. Instead Kane came to the window. "I suggest you leave now mate. I don't know what you've done but if it's upset her this much then there's no way your coming in here."
"Yeah, butthat's the thing, I haven'tdone anything."
"That's why she's crying is it?" "She just got the wrong end of the stick. That's all."
"Come on Rob, if she won't let you in then there's no point standing here." Kim said, tugging at my arm slightly.
"You stay out of this." I said, turning to Kim.
"I suggest you listen to him." Kane interrupted, eyeing us up and down,especially noticing Kim's arm touching mine. I shrugged him off roughly. Funny, I never thought I'd being doing that to Kim, more likely the other way round. How things change.
"I've had enough of your suggestions. I want to see Tasha." I protested.
"Robbie, do yourself a favour and go home. Tasha will talk to you when she's ready." Said Irene coming to the window as well. Fine, I thought to myself, only it wasn't. I'd go home for now, but I'm not giving up on her.
I left, completely down hearted, Kim still following me. Why did I have to open my big mouth to him? It had only made thingsa zillion times worse for everyone. Now, if I was confused about my feelings before, then there isn't a word to describe how I'm feeling now. Completely fucked is becoming quite accurate.
