Roadtrip

Matt’s POV
When I woke up the next morning, Izzie was gone. She had been dead asleep in my bed, when I came back to my room yesterday, the concert had worn me out pretty bad and I had joined her in sleep pretty quickly. Last night had been pretty amazing.
We raised a lot of money and it was a great feeling closing the night with those numbers. We were even able to make a nice video update in front of the whole audience, that definitely added something extra.
I looked at the alarmclock, 10.30, no time to get up really, but I had to find out where Izzie was, she was still our responsibility and if Brian wasn’t doing his part, I needed to keep an eye on her. I checked the bathroom, it was still damp and smelled like her showergel, would she be at breakfast already? I quickly put on some clothes and I walked downstairs into the breakfast room, rubbing my eyes and I looked around. I saw Jimmy and Mia sitting in the corner, as I approached them I noticed they were accompanied by Izzie and Olly.
“Goodmorning” I greeted all of them. I kissed the girls on their cheeks and shook Olly’s hand “Hey man” “Hey” he smiled at me, his arm was resting on Izzie’s chair and I could see his fingers wandering over her arm, I smiled, that date had been successful apparently.

Izzie seemed a little absent, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Must be my sleep deprived body playing up on me.We hung around, talking, while slowly our group became more and more complete, the only one missing was Brian, but that wasn’t too weird, seeing he was too drunk to even make it to his room alone, yesterday. Zack had to drag him and had left him on his bed, fully clothed. Izzie was fidgeting with the hem of her sleeve as she nervously looked up “Mia, can we talk for a minute? In private?”

I saw the two girls walking away and talking, first with happy faces, but Mia’s face clouded and I was wondering what they were talking about. I finished my breakfast and saw Brian coming to the table, looking like crap. Then we were all startled by Mia’s yell

“YOU ARE GOING TO... WHAT?!”

Izzie’s POV
My heart was heavy when I walked away from the group together with Mia. Olly gave me an encouraging nod, but it didn’t help. When we were away from the rest far enough to talk without them hearing us, Mia started immediately “You are sneaky! Did you rent another room? Did Olly stay? You two hit it off huh?”
I felt bad slowing her down, but I had to, she had so many wrong ideas in her head.
“Mia, listen, I like Olly... I really do, he is nice and friendly and handsome and when he kisses me, it’s good” Her eyes widened, but I held up my hand “Please let me finish.... He is everything you can wish for, but my heart isn’t in it and my head is too full” As if he had known, that was the time Brian decided to come down for breakfast.... I stared after him as he gave us a quick look and walked over to the table, I placed my look on Mia again “I want to give this thing with Olly a chance, see if we could make it, but I can’t do it while I’m constantly around hím. I need to get him out of my head and heart and start moving on”
Mia opened her mouth again “Please, I’m not done, let me finish.... I don’t know if I will be able to if I don’t do it at once”
“Izzie... “
“Please” Her mouth closed and I continued “Olly has been able to get me a ticket to go back home with him, I decided to take him up on his offer”

“YOU ARE GOING TO... WHAT?!”

“Mia please, I need you to understand. I can’t be around him, I.... I am so hurt and seeing him every day kills me, it eats me up, a little more every day, I need to get away from him”
I saw tears stream down her face “But... You can’t leave me... I will be all alone”
I gave her a careful smile “No you won’t, you will be with Jimmy and Matt, and Zack and Johnny, and Brian” I let my voice trail at the last words.
“I don’t want to be with them, we would do this together, you promised” I put my hands on her arms
“I know I promised, but Jimmy will take good care of you, you love him, remember?... By the way... It’s time you told him that” I smiled at her and pulled her in for a hug.
“I don’t want you to go”
“I know... I’m going to miss you too, but this is something I have to do, please understand”
“I do, but wait till I get my hands on him. It’s all his fault!”
I looked at her “Leave it, Mia, it’s my own fault too, it’s okay like this, really”
We started walking back to the table “You have to tell them now, everyone is watching”
“I know” I sighed.

I sat down in between Olly and Matt, first looking at my hands and then around the table “Iz, what is going on?” Matt asked me with a worried voice.
“Uh... well... I have to tell you guys something.... Olly goes back to LA this afternoon and I decided to join him, go back home” as soon as the last words came out of my mouth, I heard the sound of a falling chair and I was looking at Brian’s very angry back, storming away.

Fuck! What was that about!?

Brian’s POV
I felt like shit...
I woke up still completely dressed in my room alone...
I stood up on shaky legs, my head pounded and I nearly lost my balance.
I groaned loudly and held my hand to the wall to steady myself, but stood to far away and stumbled into the table hitting my knee.
“HOLY FUCKING HELL!” I yelled and held my hand up to my ears, too loud.. even my own voice was too loud.
I thought back to yesterday, we had this amazing concert, our show was perfect... and why didn’t I feel like that?!
Why did I feel like something big was missing, something that should have been there yesterday?
And if I would be really honest with myself, I knew exactly what it was...
I shook my head, which made me groan again.
Damn this headache, how could I drink so much yesterday, how could the others not keep me away from the liquor.
I guess they were all pretty much occupied with girls... or fans... or both in one?!
I just wanted to forget yesterday, wanted not to think that Matt let Izzie go with this guy on a date.
How could the others agree to let her go with this guy?
We knew nothing about him...
Before the show I had talked to Jimmy again, trying to get him to my side.
But that had turned out pretty bad as well...

“How can you agree on letting Izzie go out alone with that guy? Why do you agree with Matt? We don’t know anything about this guy!” I looked at Jimmy with an angry glare but he stared over to Mia.This guy was really a lost cause...
“JIMMY!” I yelled.
“What? Izzie? Why do you care?” Jimmy turned his attention to me.
“I do care, she... she is a friend. I mean... I am worried, that’s why I am saying that.” I tried to explain but saw Jimmy’s knowing grin.
“Yeah sure.” He nodded and was about to leave.
“Wait... don’t you have any second thoughts.. maybe this guy is just pretending to be someone he isn’t, what if he really is after Mia... after all these years, I mean look at that guy.” Maybe he wouldn’t like this guy anymore if he thought Mia was in question.Jimmy narrowed his eyes on me, looking over at Mia and back.
“He is not, Mia told me he always had a thing for Izzie. And they are like brother and sister... so nothing to worry for me. But I can understand what you are trying to do... He is not after my girl, he is after yours...” Jimmy said and with that turned away walking over to Mia, grabbing her in for a kiss and I sighed.
Fuck!

I regained some strength and walked downstairs, hopefully Izzie was not talking about her date.
About her awesome fucking date...
Shit, I didn’t want to hear anything about it.
I walked into the breakfast room, seeing Mia and Izzie talking to each other in a corner.
I frowned at them, maybe they needed some girl on girl talk about the date?
Then at least I didn’t need to hear it.
I turned towards our table and stopped in my track, you gotta be kidding me.
That guy was sitting there, his arm around a chair which was empty at the moment, but I knew already that it must have been Izzie’s.
I walked further again and sat at the table not acknowledging the presence of the guy.
I narrowed my eyes at Matt, letting him be here, sit here with us.
Mia yelled something and I looked up a short moment later they came back to our table.

Izzie sat back down opposite of me, between that Olly guy and Matt, she looked down and then her head lifted, seeming to look at everyone of us.
“Iz, what is going on?” Matt asked worried.
“Uh... well... I have to tell you guys something.... Olly goes back to LA this afternoon and I decided to join him, go back home” as soon as she said that I stood up immediately, shoving my chair back, let it fall to the floor with a loud bang.
I didn’t want to hear anything more. I just stormed off without another word.
How could she say that?
How could she consider to go?
Leaving her friend Mia behind?
I ran up the stairs not bothering with the elevator.
What did this guy do to her, that she wanted to go with him right away?
Did he use some mind trick, I mean... they spend one fucking evening together and she leaves with him?
Like that?
What is with us, her friends... does that mean nothing to her!
Ah fuck her!
Let her go... I don’t care... why would I... I would find someone else.. I would find someone new...
She was nothing special... let her and that Olly guy be happy...
I was at my door, opened it and slammed it shut, when I was inside I looked around and found a book and threw it on the wall, not enough... not nearly enough to get the aggression out of my system.
I hit the wall next to the door with my fist.
FUCK!
Why?!
I saw my knuckles bleed and sighed, letting myself slide down the wall.

Why was this making me so angry... why did it hurt?
We were friends, why would I be so upset about it... there was nothing between us...
Maybe I should talk to Mia... if someone could convince her not to leave it would be her...
But Mia wasn’t on my side right now... she was rather pissed at me.
Or Matt? Matt couldn’t think that this was a good idea...
What if Josh came back... and knows that she leaves, she would be alone then...
Oh no... Olly the cop would be with her... the cop would take care, right? RIGHT?!
And what if this was for the best?
What if it was good that she left, she would be out of my system finally...
That’s what I want right... that’s what I was trying to gain... Her not having too much feelings for me.
Ah hell... Who am I fooling here?!
