Versus

Chapter 16

After I finally composed myself I walked out of the bathroom with my head high. I never thought I would do that. It felt really good, but my heart still could not beat in time and my breath was still shaky.

I walked back into the office and Michael was no where to be seen. Its not like I wanted him to be there. I really did not want anyone to be there. Not everything works out. Everyone was kind of just staring at me. I felt like something was wrong with me. Geoff could sense I was getting uneasy. He threw me a sympathetic look then tried to create a distraction. 

"So I was thinking maybe we could film a Sunday driving now. You know to like get it done. Then we can all just go home early maybe?" everyone kind of just agreed and loaded up gta except for Ryan and Jack. Geoff told them to just go home or look around the office to see if anyone needs anything. They both just kind of packed there stuff and went on their way. 

It was just Geoff, Gav, Ray, and I left in the office now. We just fucked around and talked about random things. 

No matter what we did I couldn't stop thinking about my Michael. I knew I should forget about him but I couldn't. He just kept crossing my mind. I never had a closer relationship with him and maybe if I did things would be different.

"Queenie what are you doing?" the voice crashed my train of thought and I realized I was just walking straight into a street.

"Sorry I just spaced out," my voice was laced in nerves as the words came trickling out. I was being stupid thinking of him. I couldn't help it.

We fucked around a bit more before eventually stopping. In a turn of events I got into the car with Geoff and Gav. I had not done this in a while. I just needed to be in a space without pressure to be in love with someone for a little while. 

When I walked into the house it felt new again, at the same time it felt like a tiny bit of my heart fixed itself. I excuse myself to my room and whip out my phone. I dialed Scarlett and shut the door. 

The second she picked up I felt myself brake down. I slid my back down the door. She did not even get a chance to say anything before I spilled everything through the phone. 

"I swear, I am going to come to Texas and kick his ass," I finally laughed. In the background I hear a keyboard.

"Scarlett you can't just drop everything" 

I knew what she was doing. Although I loved her to death she did some absolutely crazy things. I knew she was looking for a plane ticket. I appreciated her effort but I could not get over how crazy it will be. 

"You can't stop me because it is already done," she laughed, even through the phone I knew she had the biggest smirk on her face. 

"Scar you-"

"To bad it is happening, and I need to be picked up at the airport at 8:15 p.m. on Friday"

"Okay we will be there, I mean if I can get someone to drive us"

"Someone has to because I do not want to deal with a cab"

"I am sure Geoff will"

"Good"

We talked a little longer about everything back at home. Everything seemed to be okay. It was going to be a long week of waiting and barely hanging on. I think I can do it. 

"You okay?" these words startled me but I turned around to face my brother.

"Oh yeah, just Scarlett" I laughed.

"Candace are you okay I mean with the whole Michael thing. I mean I don't know what we could actually do about it but" he began to trail of into a mumble. 

"Gav I am fine, I promise you," I could feel tears begin to form, but I shut them down before they could fall. He sat next to me on the bed. I layed my head on his shoulder like I used to when I was stressed. He knew me to well. At times I loved him for it and this is one of those times.

Hello!

I feel really bad and I know I need to update more often. I just seem to run out of ideas quickly. I also have no real idea of which direction I want this story to go in (that is bad I know). So if you have any comments I would absolutely love you. I also really want to try to make a goal of 1,000 words per chapter but I tend to struggle with that. I am trying my best.

As always I love talking to you guys!
