Just Friends (A Princeton Love Story)

// Chapter 13

~Princeton

"Baby, don't worry I'll be back as soon as possible I can promise !" I said to Rachel putting things into my suitcases

"But you always say that before you go on tour" she said sticking her bottom lip out

I turned to face her and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Rachel always acted like this before I went on tour. She knows I don't want to leave her behind, but this was my career and something I loved to do.

"Babe I'll be back soon. I promise any stop we have in California I'm coming to see you first thing !" I said

She looked at me still upset. I hated when I left for tour because of the time I was away from Rachel.

"I'll be counting the days until then" she said

~Rachel

We arrived at the airport and I had been crying since we arrived. Jacob would be gone for months and I couldn't handle it. I always got emotional before he left on tour before we started dating but ever since we got back together it really made me sad.

I held Jacobs hand all the way until it was time for him to get on the plane

"Flight 567 for New York City is now boarding" the flight attendant announced

"Thats me babe" Jacob said getting up

I stood up and gave him a hug, it would be months before I got to hug him and I was taking advantage of this moment.

"Babe" Jacob said pulling me away and kissing me once "I have to go."

"I know its just...I'm going to miss you"

"And I'm going to miss you too" he said

He gave me one last kiss and boarded the plane. I headed back to my car and headed back home.

Once I opened the door I went upstairs and texted Elsie and Skylar to come over. I didn't want to be alone tonight and since Jacob was gone, I needed someone to keep my mind off of that. My phone beeped letting me know I had a text from Elsie and Skylar

Elsie Bby : I know how you feel, with Ray gone i need to keep my mind off of it ! Im on my way hun (:

Skylarrr :) : OK bff I'm on my way

Once Skylar and Elsie arrived we sat in my bed watching America's Next Top Model reruns and eating pizza. My mind was instantly off of Jacob being away and I was having fun with my girls.

"Ew look at her ! She's like a stick ! Poor girl needs some meat on her bones !" Elise said

"Elise you know that most models are skinny right?" I said

"I know but still, if I was on that show I would be killing it !" She said taking I bite of her pepperoni pizza

"Oh really ?" Skylar said laughing

"Hell yea !" Elise said

Elise sat down her pizza and got off the bed. She started modeling for us and Skylar and I began laughing our asses off.

"What's funny ?" Elise said laughing

"You !" Skylar and I said in unison

"Whatever y'all just mad became y'all can't do it like me !" Elise said sitting back on the bed

"If you were on that show you would be turning up 24/7, your best bet is to be on the Bad Girls Club" Skylar said

"Hell naw !! and have one of them crazy ass bitches pop off on me and mess up all of this !?" Elise said gesturing to her face.

Skylar and I stated laughing. Elise looked at us and joined in with us.

With me always being with Jacob I missed just hanging out with my girls.

"I gotta go to the bathroom, Elsie is killing me !" Skylar said getting up and walking to the bathroom.

My phone soon buzzed and I looked down at my phone to see that I had a Twitter notification

@peacepunkprince

Missing my baby @rachymarieee ): #theworstpartabouttourlife

@rachymarieee

Miss you too babeee ): #comeback

I closed twitter and saw Elise looking over my shoulder

"Noisy much ?" I said

"I know you miss him, hell I miss Ray, but this is time for us to hang and I'm determined for you not to be depressed while he is gone" Elise said

She was right. I didn't need to mope around while Jacob was gone wishing he was here. I needed to have fun with my girls.

"Hey can one of y'all see if I have a tampon in my purse ? I just got my aunt flo and I need one" Skylar yelled from the bathroom

"Nasty ass !" Elise said

"WHAT ! you get one too !" Skylar yelled

"I'll look for you Sky" I said getting up and looking for Skylar's purse

"Thank you Rachel" Skylar shouted

I saw Skylar's purse on the floor and bent down and looked for what she needed. I looked thew her purse and saw an envelope that had Rachel written on the front of it. I grabbed it and saw that it had been opened

"Weird its opened" I said in my head

I pulled out the letter and my mouth dropped opened..

Dear Rachel

I know you will find any way not to read this card but just please read what I have to say.

I know your upset, mad, pissed probably. But I didn't mean to hurt you in any way! I know I'm a jerk and an ass for forgetting one of the biggest year anniversary I've ever had with anybody. I don't know what I was thinking...better yet I wasn't thinking at all.

Your everything to me and much more, and I want to spend forever with you baby (:

I'm gonna make this, us work....even if it means that I have to sacrifice everything I'm going to make it better for us. You don't know how much it hurts that your upset with me. I love you Rachel. Your the best thing that's happened to me.

Please don't give up on us, please ?

-Jacob

I looked on the envelope for a date and saw it was dated 5 months ago, when me and Jacob broke up Why did I never receive this ?

But the bigger question was what was it doing in Skylar's purse ?

"Did you find one ?" Skylar shouted

I jumped at the sound of Skylar's voice. I put the letter back in the envelope and shoved it under my bed. I did not want to loose this letter, I would be using it again.

"Um n-no" I said "I'm going to run to the store and get you some okay ?"

"Thanks bae" Skylar said

I grabbed my car keys off of my nightstand and went out to my car. I drove to the nearest store and picked up some tampons for Skylar.

I pulled up into my drive way and pulled the keys out of the ignition and sat in the car and started thinking.

Why did Skylar have this note and why did I never receive it. Was someone hiding something from me ?

I got out of the car and headed back into the house.

Some questions were in my mind and I was going to get answers one way or another.
