Girl Meets New Love

Chapter 42

Sabrina's POV:

2 months.

It's been 2 months.

You know that we've already done this shit before but knowing that this time it's an official break up, it hurts so. much. more.

Rowan and Jake have been together every day just like I used to be with her.

I haven't touched a drop of alcohol. And not just because I don't want to, but because I need to prove to her I have self control and she was wrong.

But as for me, I've been spending a lot of time with Corey.
We flirt every now and then like we used to with those little moments we had. It's not wrong. I'm single now, still in love.. But I'm still single. I need to get my mind off her and Corey is helping with that.

Today is a live audience.
Michael calls out,
"Okay guys so today is a special. We're gonna be performing the episode, then as you remember because I told you all, we're gonna be switching the set to the Halloween one and do that episode too as a treat for the audience."

Peyton asks,
"So in between the two episodes, is the audience just gonna be like sitting there watching? We should play some music for them."

Corey smirks at me and I shake my head for him not to say what I know he's thinking.
He grins widely and calls out,
"Sabrina can sing a few songs for the audience and talk to them as we set up!"

Everyone cheers and agrees with the idea. I punch his arm and Michael looks at me with pleading eyes and I say,
"Fine."

He claps and says,
"Okay so let's get ready everyone! Long day ahead of us!"

We all go back to our dressing rooms to get dressed. As I put my hand on the doorknob to open the door, I hear Rowan say happily,
"I'm excited to see and hear you sing."

I don't turn around and my eyes open wide.
Is she talking to me for the first time in 2 months?
Girl meets world doesn't count. Besides the show she hasn't talked to me.

I turn around and say,
"Yeah thanks."

She says,
"Uh can we uh.. Uhm. Uh talk later?"

I say sarcastically,
"2 months later? Sure princess."

And walk in and close my dressing room door.
She opens it right back up and says,
"You can't still be mad."

I look at her with my mouth open.
I raise my eyebrow and say letting out a laugh at how ridiculous that sentence was,
"You're kidding right? I-I. Wow. I'm honestly at a loss for words at that. I can't still be mad.
Really? You assumed some bullshit that you made up because I was nervous it was gonna happen, which IT DIDN'T. And then you leave me because you then think I'm lying for telling the truth?
No yeah you're right I'm not mad. Fucking ridiculous."

She says with a small voice,
"I know. I'm sorry."

I stare at her for a few seconds.
I look away and bite my bottom lip and say quietly,
"Go get ready Rowan."

She nods her head once and walks out.

So she knows she's wrong.
Is that it?
Is the conflict gone?
I hope.

I try to clear my head of my thoughts, as suddenly, Corey comes in my room to save the day.

He holds my waist and says,
"Hey blondie."

I smile and say,
"Hey brunette."

He says,
"Hey blue eyes."

I say,
"Yeah hey blue eyes."

He smiles that classic closed mouth Corey smile that can make anyone happy in an instant.
I say joking,
"I hate you for making me sing later."

He shrugs and says laughing,
"It's your career. Besides we all know you love me."

He rests his forehead on mine and I whisper,
"Fineee I do."

He smiles again letting go.
He says patting his khakis,
"I'm gonna go get ready and all that jazz."

I say,
"Yeah same."

And he walks out.

Why do I feel so conflicted?
