Roadtrip

Mia’s POV
“Yes, my first assignment starts next week back in LA. It was hard work but I made it.” Olly replied.
“I knew you would. That’s amazing, really.” Olly always was one of the fittest in our high school but he never bullied the other kids, he was the nice guy that went between the fights.
We were close friends but when he started his traineeship after the school the contact was still there but got less and less, then he had to move away to fulfil his dreams to become a Police officer and now he made it.
“So, since Jimmy is now your better half as it seems, where is your other better half?” Olly asked and I knew exactly who he was talking about.
“Izzie is back in the hotel.” I knew that Olly had a crush on her years ago, but whenever Olly wanted to make a move, Izzie was in a relationship and when Izzie was free Olly was not.
I tried everything to set them up but it was just never working out, something spoke against them, but I knew they would make such a cute couple.
My phone rang and I frowned, Matt calling.
“Give me a second.” I stood up and walked a little down the park, letting Olly and Jimmy alone.
“Hey Matt, what’s up?”
“You need to come to my room.” Matt sounded serious.
“Why is that? What’s going on?” I asked concerned and heard Izzie sob in the background.
“Is that Izzie? Is she alright? What happened?” I was already walking back towards Jimmy and Olly when Matt spoke again but really quiet.
“Brian fucked up, real bad. Izzie needs you, she is crying all the time… I can’t seem to soothe her… you need to be here.” Matt replied a little helpless.
“I will. We are in the park, we will be coming back now. Tell her I’ll be there… and tell her… tell her I’ll have a surprise for her later.” I hung up.
“Jimmy, we need to go. Matt called.” Jimmy looked at me and seemed to notice it was urgent.
“Yes, sure.”
“Hm.. Olly, would you like to meet Izzie again?” I asked him with a small grin.
He frowned at me and seemed to read my face.
“Don’t play dumb, Mia. You know I would…” Olly replied with a smirk.
“Perfect, what about a date tomorrow?” I asked him and he shook his head.
“I’m only here today and leaving tomorrow in the afternoon.”
“Alright, what about today. You will pick her up at six? I will send you a message with the address and room number?” I asked him excited.
“Yes, sounds great. Wait, here is my card with my new number.” He handed me his card and put it into my backpack. “Thanks, I will talk to you later” I smiled and started to walk away. Then I thought of something, I turned around “Ohh Olly, are you in for a little fun?” I asked him and he smiled even wider.
“Sure, tell me about it.”
“Would you wear your police hat, when you will pick her up? So she won’t recognize you right away?” I smirked.
He shook his head at me and nodded, “Why not, making a fool of myself for you, wouldn’t be the first time, right?”
I grinned, “Right! We need to leave, but we see us later!” I kissed his cheek and grabbed Jimmy’s hand to pull him after me.

“Could you tell me what just happened? And how close were you and that guy? And why would you set up a date between him and Izzie? What’s up with her and Brian?” Jimmy looked completely confused.
“I don’t know what exactly happened, but Matt called that Brian fucked up real bad and I heard Izzie cry. No one, makes my Izzie cry like that, James and especially not one of your friends.
If I see him the next time I will punch him in his perfect nose.”
“Whoa.. Mia… can we hear both stories, before you threaten to punch somebody.” Jimmy grinned at me.
“And Olly and I are like… hmm.. Matt and Izzie… we were close friends, but we were like brother and sister… he always had a crush on Izzie back then, but she didn’t seem to realize. And I had to promise him not to tell her… which made everything pretty complicated, but tonight… that will change. Izzie will go on a date with him and hopefully she will forget about Brian and his stupid behaviour.”
Jimmy didn’t look completely convinced but I had my mind set on this plan and I knew when Izzie would see Olly for the first time in years, she would be impressed, he looked amazing and which woman doesn’t like men in uniform?

Izzie’s POV
There was no stopping it once I started to cry. Matt just held me, hushing me, whispering sweet words into my hair, but he couldn’t calm me down, I needed Mia. Matt had only let go of me for a few minutes to call Mia, I couldn’t make out what he was saying, but his tone sounded urgent. I just hoped Jimmy and Mia weren’t putting all their plans on hold for me, I hated to ruin things for her.

A soft knock sounded on the door “Iz, I’m going to open the door, okay?” Matt let go of me softly and walked for the door.
“Where is she?” I heard Mia’s voice and the next second I felt her take Matt’s place, holding me close. The touch of the one person who truly loved me, made me cry even more and I could hardly breathe through my sobs. “Honey, please calm down, everything will be okay, I’m here” her voice was soothing, her touch caring, but I just couldn’t stop. I was close to hyperventilating and I barely noticed what happened around me. “Izzie, honey, I’m going to help you up, you should stand for a bit, calm down” She got off the bed and helped me upright, we stood in opposite of each other and she put her hands on my arms, and took deep breaths, making me follow her. I felt my breaths calm down, and my sobbing was too, the only thing that didn’t stop were the tears.

Mia sat me down on the edge of the bed, it was only now that I noticed Matt and Jimmy looking at me with pity in their eyes “Don’t look at her like that! Or I will kick you both out!” Mia groaned. Jimmy walked towards me and kissed the top of my head, Matt showed me a slight smile, before sitting next to Jimmy in the armchairs. Mia turned my face to her “Are you ready to tell me what happened? I need to know before I go over there and kick his ass”
I gasped “No, Mia, don’t. It’s my own fault” I looked down, avoiding her stare. I know what she was going to say “It is never your fault Izzie”, “You had every right to think so, Izzie” That’s what she does, that’s what I do when she is upset.... But I couldn’t hear it now... I felt so stupid.
“Okay, I’m going to save you the lecture, but you ARE telling me what happened. All of it!” she demanded.
I took a deep breath and started telling how I watched him flirt with the bimbo, how he touched her and how I thought it was just an act until he came over to me and asked me to crash with Matt “He literally told me he “needed the room”.... and stupid me... I thought he was joking, until he walked away with the whore.”
“That fucking asshole!” Mia got up from the bed, ready to fight. I grabbed her hand “Don’t, Mia. I’m ashamed enough as it is. He told me no feelings, he told me he didn’t want anything else, I was just stupid to believe he was changing his mind. It’s my own fault”

“No. It’s not” I heard Matt’s low voice coming from the corner of the room. He got up and walked out of the room, without saying another word. We all watch him leave, before Mia turned towards me again.
“You need to forget about Brian, you’ve been going out of your way to be around him this trip and he is just not worth your time. He hurt you, and he has to pay, but that’s for later. For now I want to see a smile on your face again, I want you to have fun and forget about all this for now. That is why I arranged a date for you!”
“What?!” I couldn’t believe what she was saying “You did what?! With whom?! I’m not going”
“Yes you are” Mia stated calmly. “I know for sure you will like it, and you don’t have to marry the guy, you just need to go out, have fun and forget about Brian”

Matt’s POV
I walked straight to Brian’s door, I didn’t even take the time to knock and started with the yelling right away.
“HANER, OPEN THE FUCK UP!”
When he didn’t open the door, I pounded with my fist on it.
“HANER! NOW!” I barked again and finally the door opened and Brian stood there rubbing his eyes.
“Hard night, huh?” I walked inside shoving him out of the way.
“What the fuck is wrong with you, it’s freaking early.” Brian walked behind me and I scanned his room and bed for the groupie to send her out before I let my anger out on Brian.
“Where is she?” I narrowed my eyes on him, seeing the ruffled sheets.
“Who?” Brian looked confused.
“The chick from yesterday. Gone already? Sent her on her way after you used her, huh?”
Brian opened his mouth to reply but I shoved him on the bed.

“FUCK! How could you fucking treat her that way. Does she not mean anything to you?”
“What are you talking about?” Brian finally stood back up facing me.
“Izzie, I am talking about Izzie! Does she mean nothing to you? Not even being her friend! Damn, Brian. I know you could be an asshole, but what you pulled yesterday, was below even your dignity. Fuck, man! Could you just one time think with your brain and not your dick?”
“What the fuck is wrong with you? I don’t even know what you are talking about!” I got into his personal space poking my index finger into his chest.
“Listen and listen carefully. I like Izzie, she is like a sister to me and I will not… I WILL FUCKING NOT allow you to hurt her again! You risked her safety yesterday, just because you wanted a quick fuck! You goddamn asshole!”
“WHAT?” Brian yelled back shoving me backwards.
“WHAT? WHAT? You have to ask me? Damn it, Brian. You know that Izzie had feelings for you and you just used her and when the next chick comes walking your way you just throw her away. Did you even think of what could happen to her? She was wandering around the whole fucking night, all alone! What if something had happened to her?” My anger boiling over, thinking of all the things that could have happened to her.

“What do you mean wandering around? I… she… I mean.. she wanted to sleep in your room.”
Brian tried to defend himself but I shook my head at him.
“NO! She was already gone, when I went back to the hotel. I had a girl with me, I thought you would be with Izzie, idiot! I found her this morning, being completely cold and miserable knocking on Mia’s door.”
“She.. was not with you?” Brian looked a little green now.
“Damn it, no! And you know what, keep your hands off her now. Why can’t you see the good thing that is right under your nose? Can’t you just admit it? But I guess... I hope...she learned her lesson now, thanks to you, Haner. I just hope that Mia has a good plan to cheer her up again and YOU keep your fucking distance.”
