So just a warning this chapter is kinda sad but this had to happen i'm afraid, its for the best, i promise!


Alex

I'd only just sat down when there was a knock at my door I stood and went to get it, opening the door to find a sad looking Becky staring back at me.

"Hey," I said softly and she nodded, stepping into the room without a hug or a kiss, and I knew this wasn't going to be a good chat. "What's wrong?" I asked, closing the door and she shook her head and took a seat on the couch.

"About us," she said so quietly I struggled to hear her.

"What?" I asked, sitting down next to her and she tucked some hair behind her ear.

"Look about us," she tried again, her voice shaking and I sighed.

"What about us?" I asked, knowing where this was going.

"I just…" she trailed off as tears welled up in her eyes. "This is the second fight I've had with Barbie over you and I just… I can't do it!" she sobbed, a tear slipping down her cheek.

"Can't do what?" I asked, even though I knew exactly what she was on about.

"Don't play dumb Alex." She pleaded and I sighed.

"You can't be serious Becks, you guys will work it out." I said and she shook her head.

"Eventually, yeah we will but Alex how long will it be until something else like this happens?" she asked and I shook my head. "I can't keep having fights like this; I can't keep risking losing my friends over a guy."

"I thought we had something special." I said sadly, feeling tears well up in my eyes too.

"We do, we do." She said, taking my hands and nodding. "But it's just not working out." She said, releasing my hands to wipe at a few more tears that were slipping down her cheeks.

"Well can't we try and work this out?" I asked and she shook her head.

"I'm sorry Alex." She whispered, shaking her head. "I should…"

"No!" I cried, cutting her off and grabbing her wrist in a vain attempt to stop this from happening. "Please Becks, we can work through this!" I pleaded and she sighed.

"Alex please, don't you think this is hard on me too?" she asked, wiping at her eyes and I sighed, I didn't want to see her like this but equally I didn't want to lose her when things had only just begun.

"Then don't do it." I begged, standing up in front of her. "Things will work out with you and Barbie, I promise, you've just gotta trust me." I pleaded and she shook her head.

"Alex," She whispered and I brushed some hair from her face.

"I'll do it, I'll fix it, there's gotta be a way."

"I wish there was," she whispered softly. "But there isn't." I looked down at the floor, this couldn't be happening. "It kills me to say this Alex but its over." She removed her hand from my grip and practically ran out of the room, I watched her go, wiping at a tear that had slowly made its way down my cheek.


Zack

I heard a door shut followed by quiet sobs and I knew something bad must have happened between Alex and Becky. I slowly stood and headed to my door, looking out the peep hole to see Becky, wiping at her eyes as she slowly moved down the hall.

"Hey," I said softly opening the door and she stared at me.

"What do you want?" she asked and I sighed.

"I heard you crying, what's up?" I asked and she sighed, running a hand through her perfectly curled hair.

"I broke up with Alex." She said softly and my jaw dropped.

"But I thought-" she raised a hand and shook her head.

"Me too." She said and I frowned, stepping out into the hallway.

"What happened?" I asked and she sighed.

"Barbie and I kept having fights over him, I can't, I can't lose one of my best friends over a guy." She said, wiping at her eyes and I nodded before pulling her into a hug.

"Tough break up huh?" I asked and she nodded. "Wasn't there any way of you guys working it out?" I asked and she shook her head.

"I know Barbie and I would be able to get over our current fight but it just kept happening and it was bound to happen again." She said with a shrug and I kissed the top of her head lightly.

"Well if it's meant to be one day you guys will work it out." I said, even though it killed me to see them together I knew that they both really liked each other, and besides Alex needed a nice girl in his life.

"You think so?" she asked looking up at me, her hazel eyes filled with hope and I nodded.

"I know so." I said softly and she buried her head back in my chest.

"Thank you." she whispered before looking back up at me. "I am sorry you know." She said and I nodded.

"I know, I totally get it." I said and she gave me a small smile.

"Good." She said before pulling away from our hug. "Thanks for this." She said and I smiled.

"Any time." I said before watching her head down the hallway and I sighed happily, even if she had been upset it had been nice to just hold her in my arms.


Becky

"So you really did it huh?" Eve asked softly as I trudged through the door to our hotel room and I just nodded, even though Zack had cheered me up with his little 'if it's meant to be' speech I still wasn't up for talking about it, especially with my sister. "Oh honey come here." She said, gesturing for a hug and I sighed, practically falling into her arms.

"Did I do the right thing?" I mumbled after a few minutes of silence and Eve pulled away from the hug and shrugged.

"Maybe," she said and I sighed. "I know it's hard," she said, tucking some hair behind my ear. "But it will get better." She promised before pulling me into another hug. "Now I hear there's a store around here somewhere, want some ice cream?" she asked and I nodded.

"You bet." I said and she pulled away with a smile on her face.

"I'll go get it, be right back." She said, jogging into her room and I smiled, heading over to the couch and throwing myself on it. The last I heard from Eve was a "Bye!" followed by the door shutting.


A knocking on the door interrupted my channel surfing and I wondered if Eve had forgotten her key card but when I opened the door I found the blonde bombshell standing in the hallway.

"Hi," she said sheepishly, nervously skipping from foot to foot and I sighed.

"If you're looking for Eve she's gone out, she'll be back soon though." I said, going to close the door but she stopped me.

"I'm not here for Eve." She protested and I raised an eyebrow.

"Then why are you here because I'm really not in the mood to have you give me a speech on what makes a good friend." I said dryly and she sighed, tucking some hair behind her ear.

"Zack told me about what you did." She whispered and I frowned, unsure if I'd heard her correctly.

"It had to be done." I said with a shrug, praying that I didn't start crying again and Barbie sighed.

"This is all my fault." She said sounding guilty and I sighed.

"No its not," I snapped and she stared at me, taken aback. "Its mine and, and… And Alex's, if we'd have just come straight out with it none of this would have happened." I said and she nodded.

"I guess but I still feel bad, I was a jerk to both of you, especially you." she said. "And now I've had time to think about it, I can see where you guys were coming from." She wrung her hands nervously before looking me in the eye. "I know this isn't under the best circumstances," she said, shaking her head. "But I'm really sorry." I nodded and she gave me a small smile.

"Its fine," I said, sure this situation did make the apology seem totally forced but I knew with Barbie it was real. "I was a jerk too."

"You had the perfect reason though." She said and I sent her a small smile.

"Don't start." I warned her playfully and she smiled.

"I'm glad we cleared this up." She said and I nodded, feeling glad about the situation but found myself thinking about what Alex had said about us working it out and suddenly my happiness was replaced by guilt. "What's up?" Barbie asked, obviously seeing the tears fill my eyes and I shook my head.

"Alex said we'd be able to work it out." I said, gesturing between the two of us. "But I still went through with it." I said, wiping at a tear that had escaped my eyes and Barbie pulled me into a hug.

"I wish I'd realized my mistake sooner." Barbie said guiltily and I shook my head.

"It's not your fault Barbs, I did what I thought was best, this is all me." I said and Barbie didn't say another word, she just held me for a while before pulling away.

"Maybe a break is for the best," she said quietly. "I mean you never really had a proper break." She shrugged. "If it's meant to be, it'll work out Becky." She said repeating Zack's words and I nodded, hoping that both of them were right.
