The uber pulled up to my house.

"Thanks." I told the driver and got out.

I got my bags from the trunk and started up the walk way.

My parents didn't know about my arrival home. I didn't really wanna tell them.

I honestly didn't even know if they knew what happened with Nathan.

I opened the door.

"Hello?" My mom called out.

I shut the door and dropped my bags.

I walked into the kitchen.

"I'm home." I smiled.

"Roxie!" My mom shouted and hugged me.

I hugged her tight.

"I missed you mom."

"Why are you home so early?"

I sighed, "remember what happened with Bryce?"

She nodded.

"I told Nathan and then the other day on broadcast he said aloud. With all those fans watching and yeah. I couldn't be on tour anymore."

"I'm glad you're home."

"And I'm friends with Bryce again."

"I trust you to be safe. And responsible."

"We're just friends."

She nodded.

"Well you're father is on a business trip for the rest of the month."

I smiled

"Oh and happy late birthday."

"Thanks mom."

She walked into the kitchen.

I stood and grabbed my bags. I brought them to my room.

My face time started ringing. I answered it and set it up.

"Roxie!" Loren smiled.

"Hey lor."

"I see you're home."

"Yep. Back in Pennsylvania."

"Where's Zack?"

"Texas."

"Oh he didn't go with you?"

"Nah. Went to spend time with family."

"Well I'm glad you got home."

"I just feel like some thing isn't right about Nathan saying that."

"It doesn't matter." Loren stated. "But I'm talking to the tlg manager. And I'm trying to come home too."

"I hope you can. Life was simple without all this tour crap."

"Tell me about it." She said.

I sighed. Then the doorbell rang.

"I've gotta go."

I hung up and ran downstairs.

"Is Roxie here?" I heard bryces voice.

"Roxie!" My mom shouted as I walked in.

"Right here."

"Well gotta get back to cleaning." My mom said and turned.

"Mrs. Johnson." Bryce said.

She turned back.

"I want to formally apologize for all the crap I put on your family. And all the hurt."

"Thank you Bryce."

She walked out.

"Wanna hang?" Bryce asked.

"Sure."

He pulled me outside to an uber.

"Where are we going?"

"Skating."

"Bryce you remember the first time I went skating."

"Yes." He said.

"I kept falling."

"But." He said grabbing my hand. "I was there and I helped you up. And spun you around."

I smiled at him, "yeah."

We got there and got skates. Bryce helped me over to the rink. There weren't many people here.

Bryce skated a little, holding onto my hand.

I pushed my skate and then almost fell. Bryce caught me.

"I'm sorry. I can't do this."

"Yes you can." He said moving hair from my face. "You're smart."

-----
After an hour and a half we left and went to McDonalds.

We order and sat down.

"Roxie?" Bryce asked.

"Yeah?"

"Would you hate me if I told you that I came back because I liked you."

I froze, "you still like me?"

"Never stopped."

I looked at him.

Oh my gosh. Bryce really liked me.
