CHASING SAPPHIRE🔞

Chapter thirty seven: Drunken regrets

So sha, I'm like, bored and all. So I've just been updating on a steady. I don't even know if this book is almost finished, but I sure hope it is.

Enjoy!

~Vincent~

Sapphire had tended to my wounds. My face still hurt like a bitch, but after placing it over steam, it's a bit better.

The ride home in the car was hell. The whole car was fucking silent, if not for Sapph asking me once in a while if I was okay. She insisted to follow us instead of the band bus.

I have a feeling she's blaming herself for all this. I sigh.

"I hope you're not blaming yourself. Sweetheart, it's not your fault" she just remains silent. I sigh and place a kiss on her forehead.

"Hey Vince? How you holding up?"

"Just fine. Face hurts like a bitch though" Ryan chuckles

"With love comes pain" that cut deep and with the look on his face, I know it cut him deep too. Cindy's asleep on the front seat. Drake, Sapphire and I are at the back. The rest are in the second car.

We park at the campus. Check in with our IDs and go up to our rooms. Sapphire turns to me as we stop in front of the girls' dormitory.

"I'm sorry Vince. I-I'll talk to Brian"

"Can't we just ignore him?" She sighs

"As much as I want to, he's my brother, his approval is important. I'm not breaking up with you or anything, I just want to make him understand"

"Okay, but give him a call. I don't want you alone with him."

"I know. Good night. Love you"

"Love you too"

With that we separate. I notice one of the security staring at my face, I give him the middle finger and walk to my dorm, then to my room. I take a quick shower and I'm out before anyone can say Jack.

~Sapphire~

Once I climb my bed, I dial Brian's no. Much to my surprise, he picks on the first ring.

"Sapph? Sapph. I'm really sorry. Really fucking sorry. Please, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness but I'm sorry. I messed up, I know I did" well now shit. I remain silent. He was drunk, it was obvious and he was crying too. I sigh

"And Vince?" He goes silent for a minute.

"I'm not sorry for hitting him, I'm sorry for saying those words to you."

"Why Brian? Can't you just respect him for the main point that he's my boyfriend?" I freeze, I didn't mean to tell him that yet. He draws in a breath and lets our a dry laugh.

"I guess there really is a lot I don't know" he says and I frown and there and then, I tell him everything. How it all started, all the problems, everything that ever happened between Vincent and I, up until today. When I'm done, he remains quiet

"So the fucker has made you cry," I groan

"Is that all you got from everything i just told you?"

"Listen, I just want you to be happy"

"And I am. With Vincent. I can't be any happier" he stays silent and then sighs.

"If you say so. I don't know how this convo made me sober, but it did" he laughs out, a real one this time, I smile.
