Sabrina sat by the phone. Vaughn was wherever the hell he goes when he leaves the island. The clock clicked closer to four o'clock. He always called around now when he was away. She knew he wouldn't. She wouldn't if she was him. But old habits die hard, so Sabrina kept staring at the phone.

It crossed her mind to dial his number. She knew it by heart. She could beg him to take her back. She could promise to be better, more interesting, more attentive. Or she could yell at him. Tell him all the horrible little things that annoyed her about him.

Maybe Vaughn didn't care for her now. But at some point he had cared enough to open up. She could use every insecurity he'd ever confessed to tear him down. He'd never open up again and then he would be just as broken as Sabrina.

But she'd never do that. Sabrina couldn't bear to think of him in her state.

The phone rang. Sabrina almost jumped out of her skin.

She picked up the receiver with a shaking hand.

"H-h-hello?"

"Sabrina…"

It was Chelsea. Sabrina was tongue-tied with anger.

"Sabrina, are you okay?"

Sabrina swallowed hard and tried to calm herself. "Fine."

"I heard…um...about Vaughn."

"I-I'm sure you did."

"I didn't...I didn't tell him to...I didn't even know until after. But, umm...I'm so sorry. It's my fault. I mean not like you think. But umm, I want you to know I turned him down."

Sabrina was shocked. She always knew, but it was still hard to hear.

"I would never-you're one of my best friends. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." Chelsea kept blathering.

In a way Sabrina was relieved. At least she knew the concert reason Vaughn had left her. "I guess Mark would be pretty upset that Vaughn tried to pull a move on you." Sabrina let out a hollow laugh. "Is that why you were crying the other day? Sorry I didn't stop to help."

"Mark...um, actually I broke up with him."

"Y-you broke up with him?"

"Yeah."

"But you turned down Vaughn?"

Chelsea went silent for a few moments. "It's complicated."

"Oh."

"I don't know how to-I'm sorry. I understand if you…" Chelsea sounded like she might be tearing up. "If you don't want to see me any more."

Sabrina surprised herself with her own answer. "I would never want that."

"Really?"

"I-I could really a hug though."

There was a knocking at the door.

"I'll be right back Chelsea." Sabrina put down the phone and when to the front door. She opened it to find Chelsea with her cell phone in her hand and tears streaming down her face.

"I'm so sorry." Chelsea collapsed into Sabrina's arms. They hugged until Sabrina was crying too.

Two days after the breakup. Her wounds were still fresh. Sabrina felt second best and confused. But she didn't want to lose Chelsea too. "It's not a b-big d-deal."

AN: TBH I've never been through a bad breakup so sorry if it seems forced or stiff. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks for reading!
