Sugar & Spice

Part three: Making amends

The minute he said I literally felt everyone's eyes on me, wanting to hear on what I had to say but I never thought that I would become exposed like this, especially to Alphonse. No doubt that he's very confused right now. If there ever was a moment where I need to tell him on what happened between me and Seth then it may as well be now.

"Babe..."

"I'm sorry Alphonse, but I had to," I said to him with a low and quiet tone while bringing every bit of emotional strength I have to keep eye contact with him. Admittedly, a slight form of guiltiness was building up inside of me but I know for a fact that I shouldn't be ashamed of what I did.

"Oh, this tea is delicious and tastes suspiciously like coffee," Seth randomly said as if an attempt to lighten the tense atmosphere that is slowly building up in the kitchen.

"Seth, dude, not helping," Robin said as she leaned forward in his direction. For a while, the room was quiet. Alphonse's eyes were looking back and forth between me and Seth; trying to figure out what was going on. And then, everything became clear to him.

"You went to go see him last night?!"

"Yes."

"Are you crazy?! You can’t trust him, he could have told you anything!"

"That’s true, that’s very true."

"See it is true!"

"But I told her the truth, my version of it at least. The version you’re too damn mad to hear. Not that I blame you, I don’t actually but she wanted a complete picture, so I gave it to them. Don’t worry I spared them the gory details, most of them at least," said Seth as he roughly explains the moment me and him had last night. And yet despite the explanation, it didn't make the situation any better; nor did Al's mood. This was the very moment that I was both afraid yet expected to happen.

"Get out, get out or I’m leaving."

"Whoa hey hold on you don’t go-"

"Shut the hell up! I do have to! You are threatening the peace I had to fight for," he said while yelling at Seth. And then he turned his attention on me, his cold hard stare actually made me freeze on the spot but rather than letting my emotions get to me, I just stood there and took it all in without saying anything.

"And you have a whole lot of nerve questioning how trustworthy I am when you’ve lured me into a trap! If I wanted to talk I would have done it on my own accord, on my own damn time!"

"Al."

"You, neither you get to make decisions for me. I thought this was going to be a cute little escape from last night shit show and now I find you go running off to talk to this asshole the moment I spill my guts to you!? Wasn’t it enough?! You had to go to him and then bring him here?!"

"Hey, Alphonse! I get that you're upset but I'm not just gonna allow you to yell in my best friends face! So you better pack it in before I do something that I might regret," Robin said as she get up from the seat with an angry expression and cracking her knuckles. While Seth was trying to calm her down and began to talk again.

"Alphonse, stop. Stop before you fuck this up. I’m sorry, I genuinely thought you knew and if I had any idea this is going to feel more like a trap than a conversation I wouldn’t have come."

"When’s the last time you ever had a genuine thought, huh Seth?!"

"You’re mad I get it, you’re hurt and that’s my fault but don't make an ass out of yourself on my account. Your boo here came to ask me what happened between us and I told her. After I said what I had to say, she suggested I come over for cinnamon rolls and to say whatever I had left to say, before taking Betty and going on my way; but I think maybe you need to say some shit to me because you're not ready to listen."

"You can say all the right things, you can act as you’ve learned and that you’ve grown, you can play pretend that’s fine but I know you, Seth."

"And I know you, Alphonse," he said as his tone of voice changed to a softer and more emotional one. And it seemed to have taken a slight effect on Al since his facial expression changed but he quickly hid it, at least we are getting somewhere now.

"I’m gonna go, I gotta go," Alphonse said as he was making his way out of the kitchen while Seth tried to stop him.

"Hold on-"

"Don't touch me, do not touch me!"

I get that Al didn't want to have anything to do with Seth anymore but he shouldn't be allowing a bad experience to take over everything that they once had, he shouldn't allow it to slowly eat him away from everything and everyone. Not every problem can be solved by just ignoring it.

I wanted to say something, do something to prevent Al from walking out the front door, but this is a situation where it's only him and Seth now. I nor Robin have the place to say anything or do something, so I can only hope that whatever Seth would say next will get Al to stay and to talk it out. Because right now I am slowly losing my patience with him and his behaviour.
