Chapter 45
Silently, I crossed the backyard towards the burning light by the beach. Empty red cups and beer bottles were scattered across the lawn. Chairs were left unfolded , some upside down it looked like a tornado had hit. Indication that everyone had a good night.
My pace slowed as I approached the girl in a large grey hoodie, my grey hoodie and a blanket around her legs. She sat there deep in her own thoughts, the light of the fire reflecting in her eyes.
My stomach was in knots and my palms sweaty but I carried on, ignoring this feeling. Its only Tammy
“mind if I join you?” i said trying not to scare her. She nodded , not at all startled. She knew i was here
I sat in the lawn chair next to her. It was quiet, the only noise came from the crickets in the field.
“Im sorry I passed out” Great Vic, This wasn't the way we planned to start the conversation.
She laughed.
“Why are you sorry for passing out?”
I shrugged , but realizing she didn’t see.
“Im not sure” we both fell silent again.
“So .. This is for you” I sat up straight and handed her a rose. She smiled, taking it and bringing it to her nose to smell.
“Thank you, its beautiful” her voice was soft.
“Well you would have had more but your grandma kind off stole them” I said scratching the back of my neck.
She just burst out laughing. Causing me to smile. my nerves eased a bit.
“I saw that, shes has a cougar crush on you”
“EWW Tammy! don’t say that. That’s just wrong.”
“Oh common, the world knows it. Whats wrong with my Nona?” she teased.
“Tammy, don’t get me wrong, shes one fiery babe but shes not the one I'm after” my words came out so fast, too easily I had no way of stopping them. I was caught up in the moment. Tammy froze, looking at me confused.
“What?”
“umm.. Noting.” Mentally slapping myself
“Umm sure, okay” I knew she wanted me to answer, she hated when I started something but never finished. I took a big breath and let it out slowly.
“Listen, I wanted to take you away earlier and talk. Talk about what happened, about us”
“But you decided to drink instead?” there was annoyance in her words. I sighed.
“Yah, and I'm sorry. Its just Danny came, and he ruined everything” she looked a bit taken back by my words.
“How so?”
“ugh , I don’t know where to start...” Running my hand through my hair as i scrabbled for the words i wanted to say. I had everything all planned out but now my mind was blank. I stood up and started to pace deciding to just lay my heart out on the line, before this chance was gone too.
“I.. this sum…. this summer shouldn’t have turned out this way. I did not intend on fighting with you, the one person that means the world to me. I did not intend on going out with a lying psychotic bitch. I did not intend to leave you in the hospital, I did not intend to make you cry or push you away. Everything I did to you this summer, Tammy. I am truly sorry. From the bottom of my heart, i am sorry. I didn’t know what I was doing, I was mad and jealous and confused. Mad because you were happy without me, I brought you with me on Warped cause i couldnt be withouth you but yet you were fine. Jealous because you had Danny to take care of you. Confused because I...I couldn’t piece together my feelings for you.”
