A week later.

"What tub of ice cream should we snack on tonight?" I asked Julia, as I stood in front of the Wal-Mart freezer.

"Uh....cookie dough." Julia said, as she pointed at  the tub of ice cream.

"Good choice!" I said, as I grabbed a tub of Dreyer's cookie dough ice cream.

We headed to the cashier, and I paid for the ice cream. This has became a routine since my heart had been broken. My heart is healing but a part of it is still broken, and the ache is still there. Julia and I made our way to my car. Just as we got to my car, my phone beeped. I pulled my phone out of my pocket, and noticed that Ethan sent me a message. This is the first message he's sent in days, and I also haven't even watched any of the twins Snapchat stories. I'm just not ready to see Ethan's face again, and I don't know when I will be ready.

"Who is it?" Julia asked, as she stared at me.

"Its Ethan, but I don't want to read the text." I said, as I handed her my phone.

"When was the last time you called or texted him?" She asked, as she unlocked my phone.

"I haven't talked to him or texted him since the FaceTime we had a week ago." I said, as I unlocked my car, and put the ice cream in the back, as I just got in.

Julia got into the passenger seat. And skimmed over the messages.

"There must be over a hundred unread messages on here, Sky." Julia said, as she handed me back my phone.

I looked at the text the Ethan had just sent me. It read.

Ethan: I just got back from my dad's funeral, and I really needed your support, but I guess that's what I get for breaking your heart. I'm still really sorry. I understand if you don't want to come to 4OU.

Crack!

There goes the rest of my heart. Now my whole heart is broken again, and it's only been a week. I grip my chest, as the ache in my chest goes from bearable to just kill me now. Tears run down my face, as I set my phone down on my lap.

"Sky, are you okay?" Julia asked, as she placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Did.....you.....read the.....last.......text?" I choked out, as my breathing became unsteady.

Julia shook her head, so I handed her my phone, so she could read it. She read the message, and sighed angrily.

"You know what? You need to forget about him until the 4OU tour, so maybe you'll be happy to see him. Or at least enjoy the show." Julia said, as she looked at me sympathetically. "I'm done with him breaking your heart. You were finally getting over it, and then he sends you another text."

She blocked his number, and handed me my phone back. I just sat there, and stared at my phone in silence.

"Now drive before our ice cream melts!" Julia said jokingly, as she tried to make me smile.

I put the keys in the car, and started to drive home. When we got home, we rushed inside, and shoved the ice cream in the freezer.

"Your mom does know your spending the night, right?" I asked, as I wiped my cheeks with the palm of my hands.

"No, but I'll just call her. It'll be fine." Julia said, as she sat on the counter.

"So, what do you wanna do now?" I asked.

"Oh yeah! I have something to tell you. It's really exciting." Julia said, as she hopped off the counter, and grabbed my shoulder.

"What?" I asked, as I looked at her curiously.

"So you know how Asa, and I have been talking a lot?" Julia asked, as she smiled.

"Yeah, and?" I asked.

"Well, last night we were on FaceTime, and he said he wanted us to be official!" Julia said, as she squealed.

"That's great!" I said, as I plastered a fake smile on my face.

I really am happy for her and Asa, but now I have to see the two of them together, and in love. That's just going to remind me of my single life, and how much it sucks. I'm such a fool for love.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------That night.

"What do you want to watch?" I asked, as Julia and I clicked through Netflix.

"Oh! Let's watch Fuller House!" Julia said happily.

"Okay, just wait a minute. Let me go get the ice cream." I said, as I jumped off my bed, and ran downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen exhausted, as I grabbed the ice cream, and two spoons. Then, I ran all the way back upstairs. By the time I got to my room I was gasping for breath.

"I'm really out of shape." I said, as I tossed a spoon to Julia.

She laughed out loud.

"We should go on a run sometime, and get into shape." She said, as I crawled onto the bed next to her.

I opened the ice cream, and Julia put on Fuller House. I dug my spoon into the ice cream, and pulled out a huge amount, and shoved it into my mouth. It was so sweet, but I loved how cold it  was.

Three hours later.

Buzz. Buzz.

I woke up to the noise of buzzing, and grabbed my phone. I checked to see if it was my phone causing all the racket. It wasn't.

Buzz. Buzz.

It was Julia's phone. I reached over, and grabbed it. I went to turn it off, but stopped when I saw the notification. It was two messages from Asa.

Asa: Gn, babe.

Asa: I luv u. :*

There already saying I love you? Dang they are moving fast. I turned the phone off, and put it back where it was. Damn, single life.
