Beautiful Nightmare

Blame Game

I was trying not to trip over my feet and spill their food on them, even though it would be funny, while staring at the floor. Finally reaching the table, I spoke their order and gave them the food. Before I could walk off Nathan, the smart one of the group, asked me to stay and chat.

"Umm... Tazzy? Since it's basically empty in here, do you uh many want to chat with us? I get it if you don't want to though," Nathan seemed nervous speaking to me. Surveying the diner the only other people here was the old couple, but they was on their way out. Not wanting to be rude I stayed.

Nobody was talking which was obnoxiously awkward to say the least. My mind decide to wonder to my least favorite place. My memory. The last place I wanted to go.

* Flashback *
It was just Oliver and I hanging out at his house. It was the first time in a while that we could be alone. Don't get me wrong I love the boys, they are like brothers to me, but they are a handful sometimes. Reminiscing in the silence was short lived because the guys busted through the door like a SWAT team. Nathan, Luke, and Kyle jumped on top of Oliver while yelling dog pile. All I remember is the laughter and pranks we pulled on each other the rest of the night.
* Flashback Over *

"We've missed you Taz more than you will ever know. When you ran out the house and ignored our pleas we chased you but alas you was too fast. Oliver later told us what happened. We are sorry we didn't recognize you earlier but can you blame us? It's been years since we last seen you," Kyle said braking the silence. His speech brought tears to my eyes. All I could do was hug all of them.

" I'm sorry too but I couldn't face y'all. I've missed you like crazy also, but I don't think we should act like those stories you read. You know the ones where I forgive Oliver and act like nothing ever happened," Oliver's face dropped into a disappointment look,"I think that y'all should leave and never think about me again. Don't give me those looks! It's not my fault that all that shit happened! If you want to blame anyone then blame Oliver. If he he wasn't such a jackass and cheated on me then none of this would have happened. Oh don't forget the bruises and marks you left on me," at this point I was yelling at all of them.
