“Hey Blue…”
“R-Robin what are you doing here?” I stuttered in shock at seeing him. And then even though he was glaring at me I couldn’t help but smile I mean he was here! After two weeks of not seeing or talking to him he was here in my living room!
“Well I was coming here to surprise you but apparently you’re busy doing something else.” He sneered glancing at Leo before looking back at me.
“I wasn’t doing anything.”
Robin just pinched his nose in frustration like he didn’t believe me, and it shocked me I mean he didn’t believe I was telling the truth. I mean that was a first for us.
“Then who is this?” he said pointing to Leo.
“That’s Leo.” I said casually.
His eyes widened with recognition before he glared directly at Leo, “Oh so you’re the guy who tried to steal my girl away from me.”
Leo just shrugged like it was no big deal, “Yeah for a short time I did now we’re just friends I swear!” he said holding up his hand in that way that I’ve seen Boy Scouts do.
“Well then Leo mind going home so I can talk to my girlfriend in private.”
Leo looked at me then like he was looking at me for an answer, but I don’t know why he did I had expected him to say yes and leave. I mean this was Robin he would never hurt me.
But instead Leo looked back to Robin and shook his head, “Nope sorry dude I’m good here.” He said crossing his arms across his chest.
“Look dude I haven’t seen my girlfriend in two weeks and I would like to talk to her alone without you around. So you can either leave now or I can make you leave, your choice.”
Oh please Leo don’t be stupid just leave. I practically said that in my mind over and over. But it didn’t Leo just smirked smugly and cocked his head at Robin challengingly, “Yeah I would like to see you try.”
Oh that was a wrong thing to say.
Robin immediately rushed over and grabbed Leo by the collar of his shirt, making me squeal in fright. I mean it looked like Robin was actually hurting him and that was crazy because Robin would never hurt anybody unless there was a really good reason for him too. And I know Leo isn’t Robin’s favorite person in the world but Leo didn’t deserve to be dragged around like a rag doll all because he refused to leave.
So while I was kind of freaking out about this behavior from Robin he dragged Leo over to my door, opened it up and literally tossed him out before slamming the door behind him.
There as some banging at the door but Robin wasn’t opening it. Robin instead just stared at me with that same glare I walked into this house to.
“Liz! Liz are you alright?” Leo called out.
“Yeah Leo I’m fine go on home!” I called back.
“I’ll be back later alright Liz.” I heard Leo holler through the door before I heard his footsteps walking away.
As soon as he was gone I turned back to Robin, “So what’s wrong Robin?” I asked crossing my arms over my chest.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong is that I sneak out of a school that is on lock down just to see you to give you a nice surprise, and then what do I hear but you coming back home from partying all night with Leo!”
“It’s not what it looks like I swear!”
“Oh yeah? Because to me it looks like you slept together last night and he was bringing you home.”
“That not…” I tried to started but he interrupted me.
“What’s worst is that it sounded like you had a grand old time with him. I mean you show up here talking about how he did all this stuff for you and how you were lonely and then you walk through the door with clothes on that are certainly not yours. I mean what do you expect me to think!?”
“I expect you to believe in me and trust that I wouldn’t betray you like that. I mean I love you Robin I would never cheat on you with Leo or anybody.”
He just rolled his eyes at me, “Yeah right. I know you love me and all but when people get lonely they go to the nearest source of comfort and since I haven’t been able to fill that role the closest thing is Leo.”
I would never do that to him. But he had a point on something but it wasn’t about me being with Leo, “Yeah your right.”
“See I knew it…” he started before I interrupted.
“But not about Leo. You’re right I am lonely. You and the rest of my friends, Rachel, Jack, Tessa, Peter, all of them. You guys are my family the only place I can call home. And after these past few weeks of not being able to talk or see you it hurts and it sucks and there is nothing I can do about it.
“It sucks that your locked up in that school and I’m sorry about that, but at least you guys are all together! I’m out here all alone. So yeah I’m lonely but the reason is, is because I miss you guys. ”
“Funny that you say that because I thought you had all but forgotten us.” He pretty much sneered at me.
“What on earth are you talking about Robin?” I asked exasperatedly.
“You act like we never existed, like you never went to Legend High. Like we were never your friends, like I was never your boyfriend. Do you have any idea how much that hurts?”
“Well you got it all wrong I would never forget you guys.”
“Oh yeah? Because if you didn’t why are you going to parties, and hanging out with your new friends from Rockland and not trying to remember so you can come back to us!
“I mean do you not want to come back to us? Did we do something wrong that you don’t want to remember, or is it that you love this new life so much that you don’t want to come back and have a life with us…with me.”
I shook my head. How can he say that to me, he knows how much it hurts to not remember those 6 years of my life and how hard I have been working to remember them. I will give him the fact that I haven’t been trying as hard as of late but I still try. I try every damn day to remember.
“You know I want to remember…more than anything I want to come back to you guys but I just can’t. My mind just won’t let me remember no matter how hard I try.”
“Doesn’t seem like that. Seems to me like you would rather be here with this life then with me and our life back at Legend High.”
“It’s not true, you know it’s not.” I whispered on the verge of tears. I mean I thought that Robin believed me when I said that I was trying that I wanted to get to him and that life I had before the accident. But I was wrong he was acting just like my mother and that hurt more than anything that he didn’t believe in me.
“Do you like this life?”
I looked at him like he was crazy, “What?”
“You heard me. Do you like this life?
“One where you don’t have to worry about magic, or leading people, or crazy gym classes where you have to go through an almost deadly obstacle course just to get an A. One where you don’t have to deal with Mary, or the board, or you mom constantly nagging you all day to be the best you can be. One where you don’t have to be the Blue Fairy, instead you can be normal. Do you like it?”
“Well yeah, but…”
“Then there’s nothing left to be said Blue. You don’t want be with us and that’s why you’re not remembering.”
“But you gotta believe me Robin…” I tried to explain but again he interrupted me.
“I don’t know what to believe anymore Blue. Because I thought you were trying to remember I really did. When you came back to Legend High that one day I thought that things could go back to how they were. But obviously seeing you now you just want to be normal and among the fray and not with your so called family who has been there for you through everything. Can your new friends say that? I don’t think so.”
“I know they can’t but they are still my friends as are you guys.”
“Well your friends are back in that school hoping and praying every day that you’ll come back to us and every day you don’t it crush our hopes and our belief in you that you’ll be a good leader to us.”
Is he saying what I think he’s saying…
“So you don’t believe in me.”
“I used to but recently…no I don’t. Recently I’ve been thinking that everything Mary and your mother and the board have been saying about you is true.”
“And what exactly have they been saying…” I croaked out, and I could feel the tears on my face but I wasn’t going to wipe them away.
“That you abandoned us, that you don’t want to be the Blue Fairy, that you don’t want to be with us, that even if you did that you wouldn’t be a good leader. And the way you’ve been acting I believe it.”
“But the other day you said you believed in me, that I would be the best Blue Fairy ever.”
“Well I was wrong Lizzie. I was wrong to believe in you because obviously you don’t believe in us anymore.”
“Of course I do, how can you say that? You don’t know how I feel, what I believe in.”
“But I do, or at least I thought I did but obviously I was wrong. And I feel terrible that I was wrong about you. That I was wrong about us.” He said pointing his finger between us.
“And exactly how long have you been feeling like this, feeling like you should no longer believe in us, believe in me.” I whispered so quietly I thought he didn’t hear me but I guess he did because he started replying.
“About a week ago. I thought that coming here and seeing you would change my mind because I didn’t want to stop believing in you but then seeing and hearing all this just confirmed what everyone has been saying. That you nothing but a normal silly girl that could never be a proper leader no matter how hard you tried. And honestly I’m glad we’re finding this out now instead of a couple years down the road when we’re stuck with you leading us.”
How could he say all of this? This wasn’t like him at all. Usually he was supportive and loving. Now he was just being condescending and mean, “What is wrong with you? This isn’t like you at all!”
“I think that’s a little hypocritical of you.”
“How am I being hypocritical? You’re the one that’s changing not me!” I yelled, my anger taking over.
“The fact is, is that you’ve been partying rather than trying to remember who you’re supposed to be! That’s what I’m talking about Liz! You’ve lost sight of who you are what you were supposed to be and it’s sad and disappointing!” He screamed in my face before he stopped then recomposed himself and was once again calm before finally saying, “You are a disappointment.”
“You think I don’t know that!?” I screamed in frustration, “That every day I disappoint you and our friends and everybody else who is counting on me. I know I’ve changed because I don’t remember but you, you have no excuse to be like this with me! I have done nothing to you to deserve this!”
“That’s thing Liz, you have done something to me. You made me love you then you broke my heart.”
“So that gives you the right to break mine?” I asked through my tears.
I didn’t think he would say yes but when he nodded I swear I don’t think I’ve felt anything more painful in my life. It was like my heart had fell out of my chest only to land on the floor an shatter into a billion little pieces never to be repaired.
“Have a nice life Liz, I hope it’s everything you ever wanted.” He sneered walking towards my front door.
I wanted to yell at him to come back. To tell him that he was wrong I didn’t want this life, I wanted one with him and our friends back at Legend High. I wanted a life filled with magic and chaos and wonder. Not one of normalcy, I thought I did at one point but after that visit back to Legend High I didn’t want to be normal ever again. I wanted to call him back and make him understand me…but I didn’t. I just let him walk out the door and into the afternoon sun and I’ll probably never see him again. And I didn’t think it was possible but I think that broke my heart even more. So I just sat there. Sat there and cried my eyes out until I could hardly breathe from the heartache.
“Lizzie! Lizzie it’s Leo are you alright?”
I knew I should be happy that he’s here but I wished it was Robin, my Robin here. Not the man that just left because that wasn’t my Robin. I wanted to reply to Leo but I couldn’t get the words out.
“Lizzie are you alright?” he paused for a minute before calling out again, “If you don’t answer in the next 10 seconds I’m coming in!”
After ten seconds when I couldn’t reply I heard a door crack open and then footsteps come running in, “Liz are you alright?” I heard his voice at my ear and then a hand gently touch my back.
All I could do was shake my head at him, because I wasn’t alright. My heart was breaking and there was nothing I could do to hold back the pain.
“What happened Lizzie? What did that Robin guy do to you?”
I seriously couldn’t reply to him all I could do was cry.
“Did he hit you?”
I shook my head.
“Did he hurt you emotionally?”
Well if breaking someone’s heart is hurting someone emotionally then yes he did, so I nodded my head.
“Umm well then I don’t know to do. What is it you want me to do for you here Lizzie? I mean you gotta give me something here.” He basically pleaded with me, since I know he is not used to helping girls in an emotional crisis so I couldn’t blame him for freaking out.
But before I could try and reply to him everything went black.
I woke up to yelling.
I was in my room when I woke up to the yelling. I’ve woken up to it before in the past few months but this time was different. I don’t know why but it did and I had to find out what was going on.
So I quietly pulled back my covers and crept to my door quietly opening it up so my parents downstairs wouldn’t hear. But then again they were arguing so loud that they probably wouldn’t have been able to hear me anyway. Either way I snuck over to the top of the staircase. I could see between the railings my parents feet below, but that was all I could see. Though I could hear everything they were saying.
“How could you do this Richard!” my mom screamed.
“Well it was quite simple really, I mean you hardly ever notice me anymore what with you working all the time!”
“So you’re putting the blame on me! Really!?” I’ve never heard my mom sound so angry before in my life. So hearing this now was actually scaring me.
“Yes, because if you were actually around to be a proper wife…”
“Now you stop right there. I have been a proper wife since they day we got married. I have been there for our daughter, I have worked to put food on the table same as you. So don’t you dare say that to me.” My mother growled.
“Oh I have every right to say whatever I want to you. For better or worse right? Well right now you’re getting the worst Sweetheart.”
“No Richard it’s not. I’ve been getting the worst of you for a long time, and quite honestly I’ve been putting up with it and putting up with it for years now just for the sake of our daughter.
“But now I’m seeing that having you around is hurting her more than helping her and I will not allow you to hurt her or her future.”
“So then what are you saying Cheryl.” My dad practically mocked her, like she wasn’t strong enough to do anything about him.
“Richard I want a divorce.”
“Yeah go ahead and try by the time I’m done with you there will be nothing left.” he laughed at her.
“You do that and I will make sure you never see our daughter again.”
“Oh so you’re using her as blackmail now! Some mother you are!”
“Oh no it’s not blackmail, I’m protecting her from the man you are Richard. Because honestly you are not the man I married, the man you are now disgusts me and I hope you burn in hell. And you can take me down with you all you want but you are not taking my daughter. If you do I will make sure it is the last thing you do in this life time.”
“Fine I won’t get her involved but as for you I will take everything you’ve got. I hope you know what you’ve just done.”
And with that I heard the slamming of the front door followed by my mother’s soft crying.
“Lizzie! Come on Lizzie wake up!” I heard somebody yelling. Why was there always yelling happening around me.
“I’m awake, I’m awake.” I mumbled as I creaked open my eyes to see Leo hovering above me.
“Oh thank god! Don’t scare me like that again Scar! I mean Jesus!”
I shook my head, I mean I can’t believe what I just saw. I mean my mother was kick butt and my father was jerk. No wonder my mother divorced him. But that was a bit scary to listen to I mean I’ve never heard so much anger and hate in someone’s voice before.
“Well are you alright? Why did that happen?”
“Long story short, memory attack. I remembered my parents yelling over a divorce…” I mumbled sitting back up pulling my knees to my chest and I could feel wetness on my cheeks again.
“Oh…”
“I was just a little girl and I was so scared, and now I can’t even tell Robin about it because he’s gone. He wants nothing to do with me.” I cried into my knees because honestly all this heartache and pain was just too overwhelming to handle all at once.
“Umm okay why is that?”
“He thought I was cheating on him with you and he just stopped believing in me. Can’t really have a relationship with somebody you don’t believe in. So he left and I don’t think I’ll really see him again.”
“Then go after him…” he said like it was obvious.
“What?” I asked looking at him through my tears.
“Well you love him right?”
I nodded, “More than anything.”
“Then who cares what he says, go after him and make him understand. No matter what if you love him as much as you say don’t give up so easily, just go after him.”
I shook my head, “I can’t he’s in my old school. I can’t get to him nobody can.”
“Who cares go find him anyway, because if you don’t then you really did lose him.”
“You know for somebody who is terrible with dealing with emotional girls you give some pretty good advice.”
“Ehh I’m good at it when I want to be, and I’m pretty sure that this is an important situation so I’ll help out anyway I can.”
“You’re a pretty good friend Leo ya know that…”
He shrugged like it was no big deal, but to me it was. I mean he could be making a move on me right now since it seemed like my relationship with Robin was…I couldn’t even think of finishing that sentence. But anyway he was helping me instead of taking advantage of me being vulnerable. He was being a good friend.
“I try…besides I think we’re off friends more than a couple anyway.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle at that, because I agreed one hundred percent on that, “Yeah I think so too.”
Well if anything good could have come out of today I’m glad it was that Leo and I became closer friends. And I’m grateful for that at least.

Man so what is up with Robin right? I mean is there something going on or was he just to perfect to be true?
