Octavia stretched her arms and tossed her blankets onto the floor. The grey earth pony walked over to her desk and flipped open a calendar, "Four days." Octavia shut the calendar and went downstairs. "Four full days and I'm already a wreck." The earth pony opened up the fridge and grabbed leftover pancakes. "But I carry on." Octavia sat down at the table and looked out the window. It was still dark, but you could see a pinkish tint in the horizon. "I'm Octavia and I cannot be effected by a ponyville pony!" The musical mare stomped her hoof on the table, spilling over her coffee. Octavia sighed before going into her kitchen and grabbing a few napkins. "Then why am I sad?" The cello-playing mare walked over to her phone and started to listen to her voicemails.
Octavia I'm sorry! Please give me another chance! I promise I'll change! I know my mistake and I've learned from it. Can't you see how bad I feel? This is tough for me since I have a tight schedule, but I promise that I'll make room for you and your concerts! Please forgive me, Octi.
Octavia looked down at her hooves as she listened to Vinyl's voicemail. "I can't forgive you." The grey mare looked at her phone before deleting all of her voicemails, "I just can't." Octavia whispered to herself before going back up into her room.
At Vinyl's place
The white unicorn paced back and forth in her room. "Come on Octavia please pick up." Vinyl sighed and placed her phone onto her dresser and jumped onto her bed, "Why am I so stupid?" The magenta-eyed mare looked out of her window before getting up and pulling the curtains closed.
A few hours later, the phone rings which makes the heart broken unicorn jump out of bed. "Octavia!?"
"Who?" A male's voice blared through the phone's speaker.
"Nopony. What do you want Dad?" said Vinyl.
"Oh ok. Well anyways me and your mother were wondering if you'd come over for a party that her friend is hosting?" Vinyl's dad asked with a begging tone.
"You want me to come to Las Pegasus?"
"Of course! And you can bring your boyfriend too!" Vinyl's dad tried not to laugh.
"Who?"
"Neon lights? North Lights? Something like that."
Vinyl's face became red in embarrassment, "Neon isn't m-my boyfriend!"
"Okay!" Vinyl's dad sarcastically said.
"Look Dad I'll be there."
"Good! It's in a week so be ready cause' I wanna see you before then!" Vinyl's dad said his goodbyes before hanging up.
The white unicorn sighed before heading to her bed again. "I really don't want to go anywhere though." Vinyl jumped back onto her bed. The magenta-eyed mare huddled in her blankets as she watched her alarm clock's arms slowly move from the twelve to the one. Vinyl felt her eyes slowly closing as she fell into a deep slumber.
A day later
The white unicorn sat up in her bed and rubbed her weary eyes. "Gosh I'm hungrier than a horse!" Vinyl stretched her arms and hopped out of bed, heading towards her phone. "Still no calls from Octavia."
The unicorn hopped back into bed for her hooves felt heavier today. "How can she just end our friendship? We've been through so much and then out of know where she's like "Consider this friendship over!" I know what I did was wrong, but everypony makes mistakes!" Vinyl growled with annoyance, "Why can she see the pain that she's putting me through!?" Vinyl sighed before putting her face into her pillow. Vinyl slowly made her way down to the door. Somepony was ringing her doorbell, she tried to ignore it, but the pony wouldn't go away so Vinyl was forced to open the door.
"Dude! Vinyl why haven't you answered any of my phone calls!?" Neon Lights tilted his head in confusion.
The white unicorn sighed, "I know. I know! There's just this... thing... that I've been stressing over..." said Vinyl.
Neon nodded to his friend, "Alright. Is it okay if I come in?"
Vinyl nodded and then left Neon light come into her house.
The green stallion walked into his friend's living room and sat down. "So what are you stressing about this time?" Neon asked Vinyl when she trotted into the room.
"It's more important then music this time." Vinyl sighed once more as she sat down beside Neon Lights.
The stallion nodded, but you could tell he was confused. "What's more important then your career? The green pony looked at his unicorn friend before looking away.
"My friendship with Octavia!" The mare snapped at him.
Neon Lights sighed with annoyance, "What happened this time?"
Vinyl sighed, "Long story." The white mare got up and turned on her flat-screen TV.
"I'm not going anywhere."
"That night when me and you were working on that big project. Well it was the same night as Octavia's concert... She called me and asked me if I was going to be there since she saved me a seat. I said that I couldn't because I was working on the project with you, well she got angry and told me to consider this friendship over..." The blue-maned mare held back her tears.
"Sounds like she was jealous."
Vinyl growled at her friend, "Your not helping Neon!"
"Sorry."
"It's okay... I just can't live without her! I'm surprised that I lived this long without hearing her nagging at me for playing my music to loud." The musical mare sighed before hopping off of the couch and heading back into the kitchen.
