| Notes : | Robbie Suvillian ex! husband x ex wife! user, language, angst! and my awful grammar! mentions of sex!
It all started in high school, you were in math class and obviously the amazing idea in your head was to skip class. You raised your hand, asked if you could go to the restroom and skippidy skip on your way to skip class.
Years later sometimes you wonder if what if you never skipped class? would you be where you are now? would you have all those bittersweet memories that you have now?
As you went inside the girls restroom you heard a sound of a flicker next to the last stall and slowly made your way— it was Robbie, tall dude, was in a band, cool rings and a few piercings and a shaggy haircut with his black hair.
“Uhm— you do know this is the girls restroom?”
you asked— were you in the wrong restroom? but you hadn’t even seen any unirals..
“I know..just skipping m’class..”
he said as he lighted up the cigarette and took a drag of the cigarette as he leaned on the tiled wall, sizing you up, rolled uniform skirt, a few buttons undone on your white school shirt and the sleeves rolled up.
“You’re a Pritchett right? with that controlling sister of yours that everything has to be perfect?”
Of course it was Claire he was talking about, she had quite the impression that everything had to be perfect, if not the world would end.
“Uh yes..that’s my sister..”
you stumbled to say, it was mesmerizing how you hadn’t even thought that he was attractive..like really attractive, bad boy type..thank god you had looked your best today.
“Are you just going to stand there? i won’t hear you pee i promise..”
he said, weird..but that had snapped you out of a mental daydreaming of both you getting marry and being fucked by him because damn who knew this loser had biceps?
“Oh— I— no i was going to skip class..it’s spanish..”
you explained, which he expression made more sense and leaned back again before offering you a cigarette and obviously you had to accept.
| Timeskip! |
After that encounter in the bathroom you and Robbie started to hang out more, in the bathroom, behind the school, he would walk you home or would accompany you to watch Claire and Mitch ice skate, which was embarrassing obviously! That’s when feelings started to get involve and grow more. At first you thought it was a you thing because let’s say..you fell inlove with every handsome man that would cross your path in the hallway or in the TV.
But oh boy, it wasn’t just you, it was Robbie too who would start bragging to his close friends about his chick— yea you..the unofficial chick of Robbie. Every time you were together he would call u ‘baby’ yep..the official nickname. sometimes even ‘sweetheart’ obviously at first your cheeks grew red and your unofficial asthma had started. He would sit with you in all classes, no matter if your friends were there, or his. Under the table he would rest his legs with yours or hold your hand.
It wasn’t long until you guys started to make out in the bathroom or in his car, then he started to sneak into your room through the window, you two would go to the bathroom, turn the shower on, lock the door and make out. And it sure wasn’t long until he asked you to be his girlfriend.
At one point in your relationship you had too many pregnancy scares in a month..yea. Well one day you decided to bring him to meet your family, your dad. Jay, wasn’t pleased, at first his heartbeat started to like that he went all pale and your mom had to take his heart beat. Eventually he agreed, your mom, DeDe wasn’t pleased, she threw a fit saying all this would throw your future away and that you were breaking your guy’s relationship apart.
The time had come, the air was certainly filled with tension, forks sounded scraping the plate, it was definitely awkward. Mitch was quiet but terrified, obviously the twink was scared of her sister’s tough boyfriend who looked liked someone that would push him into a locker and stuff him. Claire..oh claire she was admiring Robbie every moment she got, she would “accidentally” hit his leg under the table and all that shenanigans. Your mom was eyeing you upside down with the disgusting look as if she had caught you and Robbie having sex in your room. Your dad, he wasn’t pleased, not with you but with Robbie, piercings on, all black, a few rings on, and one hand on your thigh..
“So uh— Robbie and I were thinking of moving together after finishing high school..”
you said dropping the bomb which made the whole table turn and look horrid especially your parents. Your mom had shrieked
“Oh my god! (your name) Taylor Amanda Pritchett! what on Gods earth are you on!? are you insane?! are you sniffing cocaine?!”
of course she had to go there..and then Robbie had spoken, poor boy didn’t know what would be coming for him—
“With all due respect— i think it’s a great idea! i’m on this band and i’ll support her financially—“
Oh boy
It didn’t even take 20 minutes before Jay had kicked out Robbie form your house, and now you were at the door as he was on the porch
“That was possibly the worst thing you could have ever said to my parents..” you said rubbing your temples and Robbie looking at you all confused
“Why? i think it’s a pretty good damn idea to be in a band baby!” he argued with both hands on his hips and having a small frown— oh how you could just get on your knees and—
“Not to my parents! you should just said you wanted to be a surgeon! anything but a band!” You argued back and leaning against the doorway and sighing. Robbie just looked at you before giving you a quick kiss before running to his car..weirdo.
After you both had graduated high school , and all that rebellion still in your bones— you got married. Went think a small chapel, Claire and Mitch as the witnesses and just you in a short white dress and Robbie in his worn out suit and your I do’s
When your parents found out your mom was the one that became more livid, she began to cry and make it all about herself asking you if it’s worth it to throw away your mom into the trash for some rookie.
Then they started to adjust, Claire started to date Phil, something your dad had another thing to worry about, you and Robbie then went to spend some time in New York, you came back, Claire and Phil got married, then they had Hayley and after a year you got pregnant with your first kid— Bella.
Life was perfect! well Robbie was still struggling on becoming a known singer and band so your dad offered him a job, yea..something that never would have happened. Claire then had Alex— and Jay and Dede, your parents, divorced. Jay finds this beautiful woman— Gloria..and let’s just say that only Claire, you, and maybe Mitch weren’t such a fond of her. She had a little kid manny, an adult trapped in a kids body. Claire then had Luke and you got pregnant again, with your youngest son, Samuel.
Your parents were quite a topic.. your mom had gone to find herself again, while your dad stayed in Cali with you guys, he stayed with Gloria and accepted her kid, Manny into the family, weird that you had an eight year old brother.
Everything seemed that it was control, and it was, but only in your perspective because years on you find out that during this time Robbie was having some life crisis, why? even after all this time you never knew.
Bella had started kindergarten school and let’s just say it was definitely hard for you to be away from your little daughter, but Samuel had now filled that piece with you. One thing about your kids is that they were always smart.
It was Robbie’s birthday morning, he was turning 36 years old, getting old right? and well obviously as a good wife you had to make it enjoyable for him…
As you you were on top of him on his lap, holding his biceps as her held your thighs and soft moans filled the room with low groans from him,
“This just might be the best birthday gift ever..” he said in his low voice as one of his hands touched your cheek and pulled your in for a kiss
“well what can i say..? i am a pretty good wife..?
you said giggling softly kissing him back and that’s when the door handle slightly opened and you heard both your kids gasp—
“Mommy daddy! why are you naked?!” Samuel shrieked as Bella had the breakfast tray looking so confused at her scene.
You immediately got off Robbie and pulled the blankets on top of you to cover yourself and your cheeks were red— how embarrassing.
Robbie had struggled to put on his pants and well he succeeded, he pushed his hair back as his face was also flushed– “Oh me and mommy are just..wrestling? alright kids i think it’s time to give mommy and daddy a little privacy..”
and before both kids could even say something, Bella, bless her little innocent heart and soul said “Daddy why were you kissing mommy’s boobs?”
“Right kiddos out of mommy and daddy’s room!” Robbie had said with his raspy voice looking horrified, in all honesty that was probably your favorite memory of all time as a family.
One particular night you were getting ready for bed, your robe over your pajamas as you brushed your teeth and your hair was pulled into a ponytail to hold it back. Once you had finished you closed the bathroom door only to find Robbie packing his bags. Suddenly you chuckled, what was he doing?
“Robbie? what are you doing..?” Carefully you began to see al the details of the situation, he didn’t have this goofy grin every time he pulled a prank, it was far too serious, you’ve only seen him this serious when the doctor had told him they had to preform a surgery on you after labor. And that was it.
“I— i’m going away for a while..need space..” He mumbled, he itched his stubble before grabbing a few of his boxers and phone charger and his meds and stuffing them inside the suitcase. “Listen..it’s not your fault alright? and it’s not the kids, i just— i need space for some things..?” his voice faltered for a moment and grabbed his suitcase off the bed and began to walk down the stairs before you did the same trying to not sound loud to not wake up the poor kids..
“Oh come on— Robbie don’t leave! we’ll solve it okay?! i’ll tell my dad to get off your back— we can go to New York like you wanted—“ you had stopped as he started to put on his shoes, he was actually going through this..
That’s night you had called him 923 time, yes you counted..and yes he counted. After he had left you couldn’t go back to sleep, you stayed in the floor confusion over your mind and exhaustion.
How were you going to tell the kids? that was the main question you asked yourself through the two days, maybe he was coming back? maybe he had to find himself, would he come back? would he forgot everything? would he give up his role as a father and husband? all those questions began to arise as the sun rose again.
You’ve simply had told the kids “Daddy is going for a while so he can practice his guitar okay?” it was stupid sure, but they believed it, and so did you. “But he’ll be back alright?”
will he?
Eventually you had told Claire about the situation, then Mitch and Cam, then the hardest part: your dad. You didn’t tell your mom because she would take pride in this situation and say “I told you so!” surprisingly, your dad had taken it like you expected in a good way, he took you under his wings again and played for your car, house, the kids school, and all the necessities. Claire had taken the kids for a week so you could plan your mind again and have time for yourself.
And then, slowly the days went by, days turned into weeks, weeks into month, you never heard anything about Robbie again, not after that night. At night you wondered if he had met someone else? is he even in California? is he thinking about the kids or you?
will he come back?
One day, you’ve gotten home from one of Samuel’s soccer games, once you opened the mail hoping to find some coupons you found something worse— a letter from the Divorce attorney of the state of California. it was a request to sign some divorce papers from— Robin Sullivan
around those weeks you don’t leave the bed ever, the idiot had left one of his colognes and you put it with good use. Claire and Phil took care of the kids, Jay and Gloria had helped you, it was a depressing time.
As the kids grew they kinda had the idea of Robbie not showing up anymore, it started to get better— for them. Things were back to normal, instead now a family of four had turned into three.
It was now the night before Lily’s party and the family had reunited again at Claire’s and Phil’s house. Apparently Cam and Mitch had a problem where Cam wanted to be some clown? and Mitch didn’t want that, Gloria had a mental argument about having to meet Dede, oh god you hoped you didn’t see your mom. Samuel was eating pizza and Bella texted a few friends on her phone upstairs with all their cousins.
You in the other hand had drank like four glasses of wine because news broke out that your mother Dede was coming over, she was coming for Lily’s party, and it seemed like a threat.
The doorbell had ringed and you and claire had cringed at the noise knowing who was behind and you decided to get it. When you opened the door you didn’t know what to expect, would she bring her hippie friends, or maybe her younger boyfriend or older boyfriend who probably hadn’t showered since 1996..
And it definitely left you speechless because when you opened the door to your mom, and to your surprise— Robbie?!
“What the actual fuck?” you mumbled as suddenly the whole house went quiet. There he was, in his stupid suite with flowers on his hand, all his rings still on and his ear piercings of course.
“Surprise!!” Dede exclaimed thinking she was the best mom ever, “oh god..” Claire had said as Phil looked into the camera (yk)
“Hey..” finally had spoken Robin— “oh now the whole family is together!” Dede cooed, like always, she always thought she was the hero..
“Oh my god...?” you managed to speak out, no you weren’t taking his stupid flowers he probably had gotten at a gas station, and no you definitely weren’t admiring him, he certainly looked 41.
“You mean ‘Oh my god ’ as in ‘Robbie what the hell are you doing her with my mom’ or as in—“ suddenly he stopped “as in ‘I missed your dumb face too?”
“No i mean ‘Oh my god’ as in ‘what the actual fuck are YOU doing here out of all the persons?!” you shrieked. Claire and Mitch were still shocked and Gloria had gotten more wine
“Your mom had called me talking about a family reunion and two weeeks later— suit fittings..”
oh this would be a long night alright?
“Hey look! dads back!” Samuel had said as he skipped down the stairs with his empty plate of pizza and went to hug Robbie
“Here he is! the one and only Sammy”
when you went to look at your mom she had this smug look on her face thinking she had saved your glory, you just could die right and there..
God you had so many questions.
