Nothing else matters

Romy’s POV

I sat down in my car happy that I finally found Ana, but not happy at all because I couldn’t tell anyone. I promised it to Ana, and I will keep my promise.
She also kept my secret with Zack so I have to repay her for that.
I was so confused now, I had talked with Ana more than 2 hours. I looked at my phone and saw 3 calls, one from Jimmy and 2 from Zacky. He must be worried where I was so I drove directly to him.
Before I had the chance to knock he already opened the door and hugged me.
“Damn Romy, where have you been?! I called you and you didn’t pick up… What’s going on?”
“Nothing, I thought that maybe I could talk to Ana’s parents and they would tell me where Ana is but that didn’t work… they didn’t want to tell me…”
“But you could have called me..” Zacky kissed me hungrily.
I pushed him away a little. “Sorry Zack, I am really tired. I will just shower and get to bed, ok?”
I had so many thoughts running in my head that I couldn’t handle Zacky right now.
He smiled then, “We could save some water and shower together?” He asked hopeful. “Sorry babe, don’t be mad but I just.. I need some time for myself, ok?!”
“Yeah, sure. But I am allowed to sleep in the same bed with you right?” Zacky asked sarcastically.
“Keep that attitude and you will sleep on the couch…” I closed the door from the bathroom and took my time with the shower.

When I was ready with my shower I remembered that I had to call Jimmy. I walked into the living room and called Jimmy. It would be even harder to keep a secret from him, he knew me better than anybody else even better then my own brother Matt.
“Hey Romy, I called you. Something new?” Jimmy asked.
“Yeah, I saw it. No nothing. I tried it at Ana’s parents again, but they wouldn’t tell me where she is.”
I felt so bad for lying to him like that.
“Oh damn… but that was a good idea. They didn’t know you… Fuck… Romy... I don’t know how long I can keep up with it.”
“I know Jimmy… oh damn…”
“Are you done with the shower, babe?” Zack yelled.
“I gotta go now Jimmy, we see us tomorrow. Love you!”
“You, too”
“Who was that on the phone?” Zack asked standing in the doorway only in his shorts.
“That was Jimmy… also wanted to know if there was something new?! Why?”
“You said love you… I mean…” Zack started.
“Damn it, Zack we are talking like that forever. Could you stop that shit now? Let’s just go to bed, ok?!”We went to bed but I couldn’t sleep. I was turning from one side to the other, thinking about Ana and Brian. I could understand her somehow, but if she would see Brian now, she would realize that he needed her as much as she needed him. Why must love be so complicated?!
I snuggled closer to Zacky and he pulled me tight into his body and finally I could find some sleep.

Brian's POV

Finally they left me alone. All of them I even convinced Jimmy and Johnny to leave. I am really glad that I have friends like them and that they all worry about me and wanted to help. They all helped with the searching for Ana, but all I want now was to be left alone.
I don't know what is happening with me.
I don’t even know how many days and nights had come and gone since she left me but I know now that she will never come back, that I will never see her again and I won’t know if she really is okay?!
She doesn’t want me anymore. She was starting something new without me! Was it all a lie?! Was this time we had even real? But when I listened to my heart and felt the pain I knew that it must have been real or it wouldn’t hurt so much...
I took another shot of whisky. I needed to numb me. Why is it hurting so fucking bad? Why can't I just forget about her?!
But my problem is that I don't want to forget her. I never loved someone as much as I love her and I know that I'll never love anybody as much again. What can I do to bring her back?
A couple of days ago I tried it with my old love again, the love that always helped me at my worst times… Music. I picked up my guitar, it always helped me. But now my fingers won’t work as if they forgot what they had to do and as if my head didn't want to play or listen to music. It makes me feel even worse. She took everything with her, my heart, my mind, my life.
When I was looking at our photos it reminded me of all our happy times together.
Our first meeting when I hit her with door, when we were in the park together, our first kiss, her smile, her eyes, all of her tears while she was telling me about her horrible past.
And this one morning when I heard her play on my piano. She thought that I was still asleep, but I wasn’t. I listened to her playing and singing some song I never had heard before. That must have been her own. And the lyrics of her song have been so amazing, sad but with a lot of hope in it and finally finding a happy end.
And her voice was so wonderful, soft and all I wanted is to listen to her all the time.
My phone buzzed, but I didn't answer.
I didn't want to talk to anyone. I was angry with myself, that I nearly started a fight with Zacky. How I treated Romy. How could I do that? They are my best friends.
I am just not myself without her. Will this pain someday finally fade? Will I feel normal again?! Until then I will have to try it with the numbing again and the only help I could find right now was
the bottle of whisky I had in hand.

Ana's POV

I went to the job interview this morning.
And it went quite well, I was expecting the worst. They asked me about my interests, about my work experience and my Graduation. They asked me about my ideas for the organization of big events after I could answer all of their questions they said that they will call me later with their decision.
When I was back at Kate’s home I cooked dinner for us. My phone buzzed and of course I didn't want to answer but when I saw that it's an unknown number I decided to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Anastasia Evans?”
"Yes that's me, who is there?"
"Hey Amanda Coleman, I’m calling from Multisport Co., to ask if you are still interested in the job because we would like to make an appointment for you to sign the contract!?"
"Contract? So I got the job?"
"Yes, if you still want it. Welcome in our team.” Amanda said.
"Oh really?!Yes, I would love to. Thank you so much!"
"So, can you be here tomorrow.?"
"Yes, of course. Thank you so much."

Oh My God, I can't believe it I got the job! For first time since I left Brian I felt happy again. But this time more than usually, I wished that he was here with me. That I could celebrate it with him!
I decided to call to Romy "Hello?" Romy picked up after the second ring.
"Hi, Romy, Are you alone?!"
"Yes, I am alone. Hi, Ana! Did you change your mind?"
"No, I just wanted to call you and say that, I got a job!"
"Ohh Ana, that is amazing! What is it for a job?!"
"It’s a company which organizes events, usually its sports events, but not only."
"Oh, cool! We should go celebrate this!"
"I don't think that it is a good idea" I replied.
"Oh, why?!", Romy sounded disappointed.
"I don't know, maybe at the end of this week, okay? I still need to organize a lot here, you know?! "
"Oh, okay, I need to hang up now, Zacky is back. But I will call you again, ok?"
“Ok, Romy. And thanks for… still being my friend.”
“Oh damn, sure I am. We all are. Talk to you later.”
I was happy that I could still talk to her, that she knows everything and that she understood me.
