She left and Lucy sat there for a while before picking up her phone and dialing Tims number
Tim:hello
Lucy:hey you busy
Tim:no whats up
Lucy:do you think we can meet up and talk
Tim:is everything okay
Lucy:yeah..... maybe
Tim:text me the spot
Lucy:ok
They got off the phone and Lucy texted him where to meet she was there first so she sat down at a little picnic table and waited
Tim:hey
Lucy:hey
She gave him a quick hug then backed off and they sat down
She didn't say anything at first just started playing with her engagement ring
Tim:everything ok with you and David
Lucy:huh
Tim:your playing with your ring
Lucy:oh no we're great
Tim:ok but obviously there's something wrong something you wanna talk about but your scared
Lucy:now who's psychoanalyzing
Tim:learned from you so whats up
Lucy:i don't know how to say it i don't want to hurt anybody
Tim:Lucy you can say anything to me i promise
Lucy looked at him for a few minutes then started
Lucy:i was doing wedding invites and i got to yours but then all i thought about was how hurt i was when my Ex sent me an invite to his wedding and i couldn't do it to you your my best friend and i want you there but i also understand if you weren't
Tim just looked at her for a moment
Tim:first off i appreciate that i do second i wouldn't miss it you deserve everything good
You deserve to be happy and move on and for that i will never stand in the way
Lucy:but i know you your gonna say your ok then your gonna go home and suffer in silence you'll keep it to yourself and its gonna hurt you
Tim:Lucy what we had the love we had it would hurt anyone but at the end of the day we both are free to grow and be happy and im not gonna let you stop yourself this is about you i promise you i will be ok
Lucy:this is why i care about you so much even if it is hard
Tim:i feel the same way
They both just sat there with eachother for a while
Lucy:i have to get home David will be home soon and i need to get some stuff done for us to discuss for the wedding
Tim:ok
She goes to walk off
Tim:Lucy
Lucy:yeah
Tim:don't ever be afraid to talk to me
Lucy:ok
She walked off and he stayed there for a bit he was happy for her he really was but that didn't mean he doesn't still love her
He eventually went home and went to bed
At work the next day
Angela:hey did you talk to Lucy
Tim:i did
Angela:ok and
Tim:i told her that im not gonna miss it for the world and im happy as long as she is
Angela:very mature
Tim:don't sound so surprised i have had 6 months to come to terms with it
Angela:you will find your forever one day Tim
Tim:i know for now i have a great best friend by my side
Angela:you do
A few months later
