Chapter 2
Authors Note: So the girls won the talent show but it was obvious that they were gonna win so now it Monday morning at school and everyone know they won. We get to see a more intimate part of Robin's past and find out that Bubbles is stronger than you think.
Robin's POV
"OK, ok and the winner off the 2012 Pokey Oaks High talent show is…."
I swear as the announcer was about to name the group that won I went deaf for a moment, I could see his lips moving but I couldn't hear which name he had called out.
"PPG!"
My body went numb as the information from the ears was being processed by my brain and finally it hit me. I looked over to my band to see Bubbles jumping up and down with Blossom while Buttercup stood there with this all-knowing grin as if she knew we would win. All the bands left the stage surrounded by a thick odor of defeat and we stayed to collect our prize.
"Congratulations girls, you deserve this, your performance was flawless" the announcer said as he handed us the cheque that we had to cash at the bank.
On Monday when we got back to school for our last week of high school it was all over the school that we had won the talent show and everybody stopped to congratulate us, I felt like such a rockstar.
When I was at my locker, searching for my history book I heard a very familiar voice from behind me.
"Well if it isn't my little star, guess you're not so little anymore"
I was spun around by my waist and greeted by familiar lips.
"Hey Tom, so I guess you heard", I said to my boyfriend who greeted me so lovingly
"Yes, I did and I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the show and that I've been M.I.A all weekend you know I was at Yale taking my admissions test." He apologies with another kiss on the lips
"It's ok baby, I understand. So how did it go?" I asked him while taking out the books I needed
"I will tell you later because Chad and I are taking you and Bubbles out for lunch after school to celebrate, just meet me at my car after your last class."
"Okay", I said in agreement, as the bell rang for first period.
As I sat there in History class, I kept getting notes from my classmates that said stuff like "Great job on Friday" and "You deserve it". What nice classmates I have but I couldn't help but wonder what Chad and Tom had planned for Bubbles and I today. I mean they had to have planned something, didn't they? (A/Note: Tom and Chad are twin brothers)
Bubbles' POV
The final bell rang for after school and Chad asked me to wait for him at his car because he and Tom were taking me and Robin out for a celebratory lunch because we won the school talent show. I strolled through the school parking lot and saw Robin and Tom getting into his car.
"Hey babe, what took you so long?" I hear Chad ask me as he leaned against his car
"It wasn't that long, the bell rang 5 minutes ago", I said with a smile
When I reached his location, he kissed me so passionately that I didn't even notice him take my school bag and put it in the backseat. He opened the car door for me and motioned for me to get in.
"What a gentleman", I think to, myself as I get in the passenger seat.
*15 minutes later*
After 15 minutes in the car we finally reached this little sushi bar called Nozu's, it was one of my favorite places in town, and Chad had taken me there for our first date. Seems like only yesterday when he first asked me out, hard to believe that it's been 9 months already.
When we went inside we saw Robin and Tom sitting at the back, in the corner of the restaurant sharing a chocolate milkshake (no doubt Robin's idea), we all greeted each other and we sat down.
The waiter took Chad's order and mine and went on her way to fill the orders, while the we sat there discussing our plans for the future.
"So boys how was your trip to Yale and how was the admissions exam?" I heard Robin ask while sitting next to me.
Chad was the first to answer, "It was challenging, well that's what I get for applying to one of the best Law schools in the country"
"You think yours was tough, I was people having mental breakdowns in there and I understand why that test was no joke and to think the was only the admissions exam to medical school." Tom answered
"But today isn't about us or varsity next year, it's about you girls and your victory at the talent show", Tom continued
"So with school closing on Friday, what's next for the PPG?" Chad asked
"Well we are moving to LA to continue chasing our dream of being rockstars, there is a competition that starts in a few weeks and we have already entered and we were accepted so we have to leave next week for LA." Robin answered
Both boys looked troubled when they found out the full details on our plans, they knew that we wanted to be rockstars but they didn't know about the competition or that we are leaving next week.
"So what about us?" both boys ask in unison
"We barely spend time together as is, because if you guys aren't rehearsing or going to shows, I'm at football practice and games and Tom is at soccer practice and games.", Chad raises his voice at me
"Look there is no reason to freak out over this, we can make it work." I reply with a sympathetic look
"How…long distance, well that doesn't work for me", Chad says
"Me neither", Tom adds
I saw the look on Robin's face, it was a mixture of hurt, sad and angry. She looked at me and I matched her look, does this mean we're breaking up. I had to know, so I mustered up as much courage as I could and asked, "So does that mean we're breaking up?'' as I searched Chad's face for an answer. He just looked at me and said "It means I need time to think'' and with that both he and Tom stood up and left in and anger.
Robin and I just sat there wondering what just happened and how we went from celebrating to fighting in the short space of only 10 minutes, I was so confused I couldn't even muster up the strength to cry.
Complicated by Rihanna
Bubbles: You're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no
You're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no
Chorus
Why is everything with you so complicated
Why do you make it hard to love you
Oh I hate it
'Cause if you really wanna be alone
I will throw my hands up 'Cause baby I tried
But everything with you is so complicated
Oh why
Sometimes I get you
Sometimes I don't understand
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes it's you I can't stand
Sometimes I wanna hug you
Sometimes I wanna push you away
Most times I wanna kiss you
Other times punch you in the face
'Cause every minute you start switching up
And you say things like you don't give a fuck
Then I say I'm through with you
Take my heart from you
And you come running after me and baby I'm back with you
Robin: Oh, you're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no
You're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no
Chorus
Sometimes I catch you
Sometimes you get away
Sometimes I read you
Other times I'm like where are you on the page
Sometimes I feel like we will be together forever
But you're so complicated
My heart knows better
Both: Chorus
Bubbles: I'ma stick around just a little while longer
Just to make sure that you're really sure
You like sleeping alone
I'ma stick around just a little while longer
Just to make sure that you're really sure
You like sleeping alone
Both: Chorus
You're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no
You're not easy to love
You're not easy to love, no
Robin and I decided that we needed a little air before going home, so we took a little walk towards the direction of the park and on the way there we were talking about what to do about the boys. We both decided that it would be best if both of us waited for the boys to make the first moves since it was them who decided that they needed time to think so we went home to start the waiting game.
When Robin and I came home, we told our sister what happened and needless to say they were shocked, well Blossom was but Buttercup thinks that we are better off without them.
Chad and I have been together for 9 months and I love him but I'm not in love with him, well it didn't really matter now because the ball was not in my court.
After a few days I got a called from Chad asking me to come to the senior bonfire at the lake on Friday, he said that he wanted to talk to me, surprisingly enough Robin got the same call from Tom saying the same thing.
*Friday night at the bonfire*
No POV
So the girls arrived at the bonfire and went their separate ways, Buttercup went to the guys at the lake, Blossom went to sit with her friends near the fire and Bubbles and Robin were looking for Tom and Chad.
Bubbles heard someone say that they saw Chad near the trees, so Bubbles went looking for him. As she got closer to the tree, it got darker and she could hear Chad's voice in the distance so she kept walking, she walked until she saw his car and she saw him but she could see him properly so she moved closer.
Nothing in the world could prepare her for what she saw next, she saw Chad with a girl, she saw Chad and this mystery girl kissing passionately in the back seat of his car. Bubbles was so hurt she blacked out and without even realizing it, she took a big rock and smashed the windscreen of Chad's car.
Both Chad and his trollop friend were shaken from their passionate embrace, Chad looked scared and had a shameful look on his face when he saw Bubbles standing outside his window he tried to call out to her but she just turned around and walked away with tears in her eyes.
Bust Your Windows-Jazmin Sullivan
I bust the windows out your car
And no it didn't mend my broken heart
I'll probably always have these ugly scars
But right now I don't care about that part
I bust the windows out your car
After I saw you laying next to her
I didn't wanna but I took my turn
I'm glad I did it cuz you had to learn
I must admit it helped a little bit
To think of how you'd feel when you saw it
I didn't know that I had that much strength
But I'm glad you'll see what happens when
You see you can't just play with people's feelings
Tell them you love them and don't mean it
You'll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile
Bubbles ran as fast as she could trying to get away from him…trying to get away from what she just saw. Her boyfriend, Chad cheating on her with an unknown girl, but who he did it with didn't matter the fact of the matter was the he did it in the first place
I bust the windows out your car
You know I did it cause I left my mark
Wrote my initials with a crow bar
And then I drove off into the dark
I bust the windows out your car
You should feel lucky that that's all I did
After five whole years of this bullshit
Gave you all of me and you played with it
I must admit it helped a little bit
To think of how you'd feel when you saw it
I didn't know that I had that much strength
But I'm glad you'll see what happens when
You see you can't just play with people's feelings
Tell them you love them and don't mean it
You'll probably say that it was juvenile
But I think that I deserve to smile
I bust the windows out your car
But it don't compare to my broken heart
You could never feel how I felt that day
Until that happens baby you don't know pain
Yea, I did it, you should know it
I ain't sorry, you deserved it
After what you did you deserved it
I ain't sorry, no
You broke my heart, so I broke your car
You caused me pain, so I did the same
Even though what you did was much worse
I had to do something to make you hurt, yea
Oh, but why am I still crying
Why am I the one whose still crying
Oh, oh, you really hurt me baby
You really, you really hurt me babe
I bust the windows out your car
Meanwhile Robin was wondering around looking for Tom, she decided to take a break and head to her favorite spot on the lake, near where the caves were…the spot she came to when she needed to think or needed to get away from people…the spot she went to sit and cry after her parents died. She had shown no one where her special hiding place was not even Tom or Buttercup, whom she was closest to, it was her own personal escape from the world when it all became too much for her to handle.
She was walking near the water when she heard a weird sound coming from the cave so she went to investigate. She moved closer to the strange sound and the closer she got the more familiar the sound became until she realized that it was the sound of a girl and boy kissing. She decided to move away as not to disturb the couple, until she heard "Tom, did you seriously break up with Robin?"
She stopped and asked herself is she heard correctly, then she heard "Yes, Tammy I promise, it's over between Robin and I"
Robin flew into a fit of rage and she walked over to the two.
"THOMAS GREGGORY SMITH WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!", Robin yelled and echoed because of the cave.
Tom jumped up and realized that he was in for it.
"Nothing baby she was drowning so I was giving her mouth to mouth", he weakly replied
"Save it!" and with that Robin stomped away
As she walked away, she could hear the girl named Tammy yelling at Tom but she didn't care, she was too hurt to care.
She's so gone-Lemonade Mouth
Insecure
In her skin
Like a puppet, a girl on a string
Broke away
Learned to fly
If you want her back, gotta let her shine
Chorus
So it looks like the joke's on you
'Cause the girl that you thought you knew
She's so gone
That's so over now
She's so gone
You won't find her around
You can look but you won't see
The girl I used to be
'Cause she's
She's so gone
Here I am
This is me
And I'm stronger than you ever thought I'd be
Are you shocked?
Are you mad?
That you're missing out on who I really am
Chorus
She's so gone away
Like history
She's so gone
Baby, this is me, yeah
Chorus
She's so gone
(That's so over now)
She's so gone
(You won't find her around)
Chorus
So long
She's so gone, she's so gone... gone, gone, gone
She ran to the car and found everyone sitting in there already attending to Bubbles who was crying, while she was fighting back her own tears because partly she wanted it to be about Bubbles and partly because she didn't want to talk about it now, her shame and humiliation was too overwhelming to talk about so they simply drove home and stayed up all night talking about the events that unfolded.
Authors Note: Well that's it for chapter 2, I'm sorry it's so long there was just so much I needed to put it before the girls leave for L.A and I couldn't have them leave with boyfriends. Sorry I haven't given Buttercup a POV yet but I promise I will in the next chapter. Thank you for reading and please review.
