Roadtrip

Jimmy’s POV
I walked down the stairs stopped at the reception and leaned over when a guy came running towards me.
“Can I help you, Sir?”
“Where is the next Bar?”
“If you go out of the door and turn right then walk down the street on the left side is a Bar called ‘Night’ and in the other direction to the right is a Cocktail bar called ‘Eleven’”
“Thanks.” I nodded and was nearly at the door when thought crossed my mind.
“Excuse me? If someone is asking for me... could you please send them in the different direction?” The guy from the reception nodded with a smile and I headed out of the door to right.
I still couldn’t believe that they were gone, that she was gone.
Mia just left without saying goodbye and without leaving a note or anything.
When I called her it went straight to voicemail.
Did Izzie ask her to leave cause of the fight with Brian? But then why didn’t she just tell me?
I mean she could have said she would leave, I wouldn´t have gone insane...
Alright, but I wouldn’t have gone as insane as I was right now not knowing where she was and how she was...

My brain was overflowing with thoughts and emotions... why do I have to feel so much?!
I was finally at the Bar and ordered Whiskey shots, a lot of Whiskey shots.
“Hey! Leave the bottle with me, thanks.”
He placed the Jack Daniels in front of me and I grinned a little. At least I had one friend with me now.
I downed another shot and there was still no numbness in my heart... it was bleeding.

“Is this seat free?” A tall blonde guys stood next to me and I didn’t really look at him just shrugged my shoulders.
“Thanks.” He took the seat and I regretted not telling him to fuck off.
I downed another shot and looked at the bottle, ah fuck half empty already.
“You are Jimmy, right?” He asked and I looked at him with narrowed eyes, my vision gone a little blurry.
“Yes, you want an autograph?” I asked and hoped he wasn’t hitting on me.
Mr. Family Guy in his straight dress shirt and suit pants. What was he doing in such an outfit in a bar?!
Idiot...
“No, thank you. I just wanted to let you know that I know why Mia left.” He said and my head snapped at the mentioning of Mia’s name to his so fast that I got dizzy.
“What are you talking about? And why do you know Mia?” I wanted to stand up but he pushed me down with one hand on my shoulder, looking at me serious.
“I tell you this, Jimmy. Mia is my girlfriend, she called me to get her. She said she wanted to get rid of you. I don’t know what exactly happened between you and her but I tell you this one time. Stay away from her, she couldn’t get rid of you fast enough and today she just took her chance.” He said it calmly and I looked at him shocked.
She was what? In a relationship? She wanted to get rid of me? No, this was a lie... this couldn’t be true.
“No, she is single. She told me so... She said she might love me. She didn’t...” I got a headache, now.
What was this about?! She could never have fooled me like that.
“Where should I know you from and what do you think, why she send me here? She wanted me to tell you to leave her alone and not call her anymore. She is sick of you and your friends.”
I swallowed thickly... I might get sick right now...
Could I have really been so wrong about her?!

Matt’s POV
“Sit down and talk!” I pushed Brian into the armchair next to my bed and he dropped into it with a sigh.
“Shit... I don’t really know how this could have happened alright.. One moment everything was fine and we had fun and in the other everything just escalated. I never meant this to happen.” Brian looked up and I could see regret in his eyes.
Too late now.
“Alright, then from the beginning... Why did you fight?” I asked again and sat down on the bed.
“Fuck... We had this amazing night and we had this-”Brian started but I interrupted him.
“Spare us the details of the act.” I held my hand up but Brian rolled his eyes.
“I was about to say we had this agreement. To be friends with benefits...” Brian finished.
“She did not agree to that, did she?” I looked at him surprised.
“She did... I mean why not... We are both single, we want to have fun and we are amazing in bed. We are both not looking for a relationship, so this was settled.”
I shook my head... I mean... these two must know that such an arrangement always ended with trouble... and this was even sooner than later.
“And then?!” I asked.
“Well this morning, when we lost you we stopped at a gas station and Izzie wanted to grab some coffee. I waited for her and talked to you on the phone. Then I saw Izzie hugging and laughing with some guy. He was whispering in her ear and shit... I mean... she said she didn’t know that guy, but you don’t treat someone you didn’t know that way. When she came back she acted totally strange, didn’t want to talk to me and whenever I said something she was pissed and told me to shut up.”
“Because you said things like...” I started and lifted my eyebrow at him, I knew Brian wasn’t the goody good guy he was just describing.
“I might have acted a little jealous.” Brian said and looked down.
“You acted a little jealous and asked her about the guy and what was going on, right?” I asked to get the story going.
“Yeah.. but like I said she only mentioned she needed to find you and talk to Mia and didn’t even recognize my presence.” Brian sounded offended.

“And at the Swimming Centre?” I asked him.
“Man, it got even worse there, I wanted to talk to her again but she just shrugged me off then I might have said a few things that... fuck.. I didn’t mean it like that... Didn’t want them to leave..”
“Spill it, what did you say?”
Brian sighed again loudly, “ I might have said something like that I never wanted them to join us and that I just agreed because Jimmy was so into Mia...”
I groaned and shook my head.
“Why the fuck did you say that? It’s a fucking lie, Brian!”
“Yeah man, you don’t say something like that... Izzie and Mia were great. I liked them... and if you got a problem with Izzie you should have talked with her reasonably and not just throw things like that at her... no wonder they went away” Johnny spoke up for the first time, I nearly forgot that he was here as well.
“I KNOW! I didn’t mean it... I was just so angry at her for treating me like that! I never wanted them to leave, for Jimmy to be miserable... We have to fix this, Matt.”
I shook my head again, “I don’t know if we can fix this...”

Jimmy’s POV
The blonde guy has vanished as fast as he had appeared next to me and left me with even more disturbing thoughts then before.
Now it was not only a small assumption from the guys that Mia might have had enough from me, know it was the bitter truths.
Not only had she enough of me, she had a boyfriend... a boyfriend she had send to tell me not to call her or talk to her again.
How could I have been so stupid and fallen for her?
“DAMN JIMMY!” I heard Zack’s voice behind me and he plopped down on the seat where Mia’s boyfriend had been sitting on just a couple of minutes ago.
“The fucking guy at the reception of the hotel he send me to the wrong Bar. I was searching for you and running around like an idiot.. fuck, you know I am out of form.” Zack complained breathing deeply in and out and grabbing one of my shot glasses and downed it.
“Better?” I asked sarcastically.
“Better... Now, come on Jimmy, it’s late. Let’s get back to the hotel.” Zack pulled on my arm and I got up and pulled my wallet out and handed the money to the bartender and then grabbed my Jack and followed Zack out of the bar.
“Jimmy?” Zack asked carefully.
“Yeah?”
“You know that I was just teasing you, I mean... I would have never made a move on Mia for real. I liked her but you are my brother. I was just fun to get on your nerves and I know that you will repay me one day.” Zack said and I nodded.
“Doesn’t matter anymore anyway.” I tried to sound emotionless but the lump in my throat was back.
“What do you mean?” Zack looked at me from the side and I kept walking faster.
We were already at the hotel. I pushed the elevator button and regretted it right away...
Mia and me in the Elevator... ah man... so many fun memories, wasn’t so fun anymore.
“She doesn’t want me, she left. End of the story.” I finally said when Zack stood next to me.
God, that hurts... I thought the Whiskey would have at least made me a little uncaring, but it didn’t...
“You don’t know that.. maybe it was really Brian’s fault-”
“It wasn’t. I know it now.” I interrupted him.
“But you can’t be sure about that...” Zack tried again.
“I can and now stop it!”
Zack knocked on Matt’s hotel door and when Matt opened up and we walked in they all looked at me.
I went to Brian “It wasn’t your fault. I go to bed. Good night.”
“Wait... Jimmy...!” Matt stopped me at the door.
“Don’t walk away like that. What do you mean, it’s not Brian’s fault? We have to figure out why-”
“NO WE DON’T! BECAUSE I KNOW IT NOW!” I yelled at Matt and he looked surprised at my outburst.
“What do you know?” Matt asked calmly.
I didn’t want to say, didn’t want to make even more a fool out of myself then I already did, but I had to say it...
“Because she played me... she just played a game. She had a boyfriend and she sent him to tell me to leave her alone, because she was sick of me. Because she was sick of all of us... She couldn’t get rid of me fast enough! Are you happy now? You were right, you all have been right. I am an idiot fallen for a girl that gives a fuck about me... And why does it still hurt so bad, Matt? WHY?!” I punched the wall next to me and felt now a different kind of pain which made me feel shortly better.
“Fuck Jimmy. Why would you say that?” Matt grabbed my shoulders and made me look at him.
“I know it.” I mumbled.
“I saw you and Mia... we all did...” I began and Zack took over “She liked you... we could all see it.”
“Yeah, than she might have fooled all of us, cause her BOYFRIEND was pretty clear.”
“I can’t believe that...” Matt shook his head and I looked at my best friends, having pity in their eyes glancing at me.
“I’m going to bed now... if you now wanna joke about stupid Jimmy falling in love, wait for me to close the door please.”
I started walking to the door and heard Brian this time “Jimmy, wait!”
But I let the door fall shut and walked over to my room, I needed to be alone...
