18th June
Isis POV

I was already awake by the time CC had to leave for the studio, so I made my way over to where Gemma was asleep.
"Hey!" I said, poking her side. "Waaaaake uuuup." She groaned as she slapped my hand away.
"Come on!" I said, "we were suppose to go shopping today!"
"Not now! Later, sleep is good." She grumble as she rolled over.
"Fine." I said, "I'm not feeding you then" I left her alone and got ready for the day.
"I heard something about food," said Gemma, as she came out her room, "food is muchly needed." I laughed.
"Well tough. It was a limited time offer." I laughed, "or we could just go somewhere?"
"Well I need food," she said, "so wherever as long as there's food." I waited by the door as she got ready then we drove to Panda Express.
"Surprise!" I said laughing, getting out of the car. Gemma rolled her eyes as we walk in, grabbed our food, which nonsense up paying for Gemma's because she realize she didn't have her money with her.
"Well that sucks you don't have your wallet." I said as I began eating, "where did you leave it?"
"Glove compartment of CC's truck." She said, "baby brain is already taking hold." I sighed.
"So to the studio we go?" I asked once we finished our food.
"Yup," she replied, "lemme text CC tell him were gunna pop by." She got out her phone as we made our way back to the car. Once we got there and we walked inside the studio, I see everyone sitting on the couch except for Ashley. I looked around, hoping he wasn't here.
"Alright let's take that from the top again." Bob Rock spoke into the mike that was connected to the soundboard. I hear the metronome click and heard the drumming begin and followed by some bass playing. I looked through the glass and into the soundproof room to see who was in there recording and saw it was Ashley. He glanced up and saw me for a quick second before he continued to play. My heart began to race faster than the beat of the song as I continue to stare at him. He looked up at me again before he started messing up and then he stopped playing altogether. I saw him sigh. The metronome and drumming stopped soon after.
"Alright let's take a small break." Bob spoke again. I saw Ashley nod as he remove the headset and walked out of the room. I gulped. I look over to where Gemma was and notice her and CC has disappeared off to most likely his car to get her wallet. Ashley entered the room and sat on the couch. I calmly sat next to him.
"Sooo.." He said awkwardly, "how you been?"
"It's been better I guess." I said. "How about yourself? A little distracted in there?" I smiled.
"Yeah I've been better," he said, "and yeah I thought that throwing myself into the new album would help, but apparently I was wrong, I just go back to an empty apartment, and I hate it." I look down at my feet.
"Yeah well.." I began. "If only things were different. I'm so sorry by the way."
"Yeah well," he said, "it takes two to tango as they say, it's not all your fault." I smiled. Just then Gemma walked back in, holding her purse up looking proud. I shook my head and smiled
"I've got it! You ready to go now?" She asked. I nodded.
"Where are you guys off to?" Ashley asked.
"Going shopping. Probably stuff for baby and other things." I said as I stood up. "See you guys around I suppose." I waved to the rest of the band before walking out with Gemma.
"So what did the knob jockey say?" She asked once we were out of earshot of the band.
"Well we said sorry and he mentioned how he hates coming home to an empty apartment." I said. "Although he knows what to do and I'll be home." I sighed.
"But the question is," she said, "do you think he will? And also do you want to?"
"I dunno. I would love to be with him again." I said.
"But what's a relationship without trust?" She asked, "that goes both ways, can you trust him to not change his mind?"
"Well I was the one in the wrong with what happened in Vegas.” I said, “That's what he's mainly mad about. So it's up to him if he wants to takes me back. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't change his mind about his decision once were together again."
"He still could have done something more decent than fucking you and dumping you like that." She said, "I know he's a sex fiend but that's a new low, even for him."
"I know." I sighed, "but.. It could've been worse."
"How?" She asked.
"He could've been cheating on me with Kina this whole time while being abusive towards me. That's the worst thing I could imagine." I said
"Ashley would never stoop as low as abuse," she said, "Kina is a possibility, but she would instigate it, she's the slut queen of slut town." I laughed.
"Anyways. That's how it could be worse. If that happened, that would be the end of us. No going back." I said. We got to the mall and parked. We started to look into stores, buying new clothes and some small baby things. Until some girl stopped in front of us.
"Hey you're Isis, right?" She asked. I looked at her strangely.
"Yeah?" I responded. She smiled.
"You're Ashley Purdy’s girlfriend! Can I please have a photo with you?" She asked. I sighed as I glanced at Gemma. I nodded at the girl as she took a selfie with me. "Thank you!" She turned to Gemma, "hey you look familiar... And you're pregnant!" She gasped as she pieced things together.
"I'm no one." Said Gemma, looking nervous.
"You're obviously someone if you're with her!" she said pointing to me. I snickered.
"No I'm just a friend," she said, "I'm nothing to do with Ashley or anyone like that." She tried to pull me away from the fangirl, but she was slowly following. We walked ahead of her and then I heard my phone notification go off. When I looked at it, I saw it was a tweet mention from the girl who was just talking to us. My phone kept going off as she began to speak with other BVB fans on Twitter telling them which mall she saw us and speculated trying to figure out who Gemma was. An hour passed and we were sitting near a coffee shop when the same girl as before approached us again but with a group of other girls this time.
"Hey! Sorry to bother you guys again, but I finally remember who you were!" She said to Gemma. I looked at her worried. "You're CC's girlfriend and that's his baby!" She pointed to her stomach.
"No I'm not," she said quickly, "now can you leave us alone? Isis and I are trying to have a girls day, we haven't seen each other in years, so now just give us some peace."
"No point in lying. We all know who you are. Just admit it." Another girl said holding up phone, probably filming everything.
"Can I touch your belly?" The first girl asked eagerly.
"Fuck no!" Gemma said, "I don't know who you are but you need to leave us alone, this is a gross invasion of our privacy, now I won't ask you again, leave us alone, or I'll get the mall security to escort you all out." The girl with the phone puts it down and starts typing away on it before my phone went off again.
"@ccsandpurdysdick97: @ccbvb's girlfriend is a bitch! Watch here! www.instagramvid.com/83628" I showed Gemma.
"Alright that's enough, please leave us alone." I said.
"We just wanna know the truth!" The girl said.
"How is this any of your business?" Gemma asked her, "all the guys are entitled to a private life, it's called a private life for a reason, because it's private, means, none of the fans business!" Gemma was starting to get angry now, it was clear in her eyes.
"So you're saying you are part of their private life?" They asked. "Therefore there's a possibility of it being true."
"No!" Gemma shouted, clearly getting the attention of a nearby security guard, "now leave us alone!"
"OH MY GOD! Guys! Ashley is here in the mall too!!!" The girl with the phone said. I looked at Gemma confused.
"WHERE?!" The first girl asked.
"He just posted a selfie near Hot Topic! Let's go!" She responded. After that they all ran off.
"Uhh.. Why is he here?" I asked scrolling through my instagram to find his post and which I did. I felt a chill.
"How would he know we were here? I thought he was recording?" Gemma asked.
"I don't know. We didn't even tell him which mall we were going to. He must've followed us." I joked. Gemma gave me a look and I froze. "Or did he?"
"Or the crazy fan girls pinged the mall." Said Gemma
"I guess. But he was suppose to be busy recording." I said. I did a double take as I saw Ashley approach us.
"What are you doing here??" I asked him. "And how did you escape the crazies??"
"I finished early. Also that was an old photo that came in handy." He said
"You have random old pictures like that?" Gemma asked, "that's just weird." I quickly look at my phone which had the photo on it still and looked at him again.
"How old is this photo? Like an hour old? You're still wearing the same clothes!" I said.
"Fine," he said, "I saw the girls milling around you, so I doubled back, took the photo, came back here and then posted it."
"Did you see the tweets that we're going on?" I asked.
"What tweets?" he asked. My eyes widened.
"How did you know where we were?" I asked.
"I had a feeling that you'd come here," he said, "it's halfway between the studio and CC's house." I narrowed my eyes.
"Okay.." I said, "so you came here whhhhy?"
"I wanted to finish our conversation." He said, "I wanna sit down and talk, about everything." I looked around hoping the fan girls were out of sight.
"Not here, right?" I asked.
"Of course not," he said, "was thinking that you two would be nearly done, so then you'd take Gemma home and then we'd talk back at mine." I glanced at Gemma.
"Does that sound okay with you?" I asked.
"Yeah," she said, then leaned in closer and lowers her voice, "don't fuck him this time, just talking, and think about everything." I laughed and turned to Ashley.
"Alright I'll see you later then." I said. Gemma and I walked back to my car and I took her back home. After, I went towards Ashley's. I walked up to the door contemplating if I should use my key or not. I decided on knocking instead. Which was weird. He answered the door and gave me a funny look.
"Why didn't you use your key?" He asked.
"I didn't wanna seem rude?" I said as I walked in.
“It wouldn’t have been rude,” he said, “Your stuff is still here so you kinda do still live here.”
"Oh yeah." I laughed as I went to sit on a sofa.
“I guess we need to talk.” he said, sitting down next to me. I stared as I fought back jumping on him because I've missed him so much.
"Abooout?" I asked knowing the answer already.
“Us, Ben, everything.” He said, “if there is an us mainly.”
"I would love for everything to be like it was, but it's not that easy." I said
“I know,” he said, “And until I can trust you again I don’t want there to be an us, we need to be separate, I don’t think we can work as a couple anymore.”
"So why try?" I asked.
“I can’t not have you in my life,” he said, “But at the same time I don’t want you in my life. You betrayed me Isis, do you have any idea how that felt? How it feels?”
"I didn't betray you! Nothing happened between Ben and I! How many times do I gotta tell you?" I said frustrated.
“No more,” he said, “You know what I think happened, I think you did sleep with him, especially in the past few days, I can’t watch you pine over a married man anymore, it’s sickening to think that you’d try and break up a relationship, and a marriage over a quick fuck.”
"I would never intentionally want to break up any relationship. Especially ours. That's why I'm telling you that nothing happened. I love you too much to even go through with it." I said.
“So why does it all sound like lies?” he raised his voice at me.
"Until you realize how much I really do care for you, maybe this split is good for now." I sighed.
“Well you have a funny way of showing it.” he said, “Now take what you need and get out, we can organise a time for you to come and collect the rest.” He walked out into the kitchen.
"Fucking asshole." I grumbled as I walked towards the kitchen. "You know I always have a hard time expressing my feelings. It doesn't help that you keep treating me like trash! Especially like that night when we broke up."
“Oh I treat you like trash?” he laughed, “I’m not the one who cheated, you were the one who started ending this relationship when you turned into the slut you are now! This is over, now hurry up and get the fuck out of my life.”
"I learned from the best." I winked at him as I walked out and into the room. I grabbed a random bag and shoved as many clothes as I could and walked out into the living room where I saw him sitting there scrolling through his phone.
"Just remember. If it wasn't for you, a lot of trouble that I've gotten into wouldn't have happened. I would've never gotten into that threesome with you and CC, I would've never met Ben. You're the one who changed me. You're the reason why I'm not the same Isis you fell in love with." I said to him. He just stared back at me before I walked out, closing the door behind me.
