STOLEN (Lawson)

I can't lose you too

Andy’S POV

I just felt like I had the most amazing woman to call my girlfriend. She made her mistakes but she was perfect to me and she took me as I was even with my constant heartbreak and issues. She loved me for who I was and didn’t judge me by my past. It had been 3 weeks and I had enjoyed every second of our relationship so far. We were ready to face whatever life was going to bring us, many people weren’t happy with our relationship. Some predicted that we weren’t going to last, the thing is, everyone had something to say, but we didn’t have to listen to all of them. We just kept living our lives, ignoring  everything around us.

Arriving at her apartment on Saturday evening,  I just walked in without knocking like I normally do. It had become like my second home in less than a month.

“Babe! I’m here!” I called out, seeing that the living room was empty.

“Oh hi babe! Just make yourself comfortable, I’m still getting ready okay?” she shouted back, from her room.

“You’re sure you don’t want me to come and help you with that?” I mused as I sat on her comfortable leather couch.

“Haha perv,” she chuckled. I flipped through the magazines that were on her coffee table before hearing her phone vibrating loudly on the table. I sat up so that I could pick it up and take it to her, but when I looked at the caller I.D fury just began to mount inside of me.

“Liam?” I whispered as I stood up in rage. Why was she still in contact with him? Did she still have feelings for him? I thought that she had made it clear that she wanted me and not him, so why would he still call her? All these questions were piling up in my head and I just stood there staring at the screen not knowing what to do. I didn’t think I could ever feel this insecure but the thought that some other guy was clinging on to my girlfriend just maddened me. I wanted her all to myself.

“Okay, all ready,” she said, walking into the living room. The jovial face she had changed when she saw that I had her cell phone and it had just stopped ringing but she remained silent.

“What’s this?” I asked, sternly.

“What? Did I have a call? Was it Scott, you know he-“

“It was Liam,” I blurted and her eyes  widened at the revelation. Was she hiding something from me? Even her doll face couldn’t save her now, I wanted answers.

“Andy... I-“

“Why was he calling you? Are you still talking to him Angie?” I shouted, and she took a step back. I might have been infuriated but I wasn’t about to hurt her or anything. I knew about my short temper and  the livid thought that she was still in contact with her ex just made it worse . I just loved her so much and I guess, the anger came from the fact that I couldn’t handle heartbreak anymore and even the thought I might lose Angie just felt too agonizing to bear.

“No Andy, I already told him to stop calling me but he won’t stop,” she explained.

“For how long has this been going on?” I asked.

“About two weeks, he’s been drunk dialling a lot. I don’t think he took the break up well, and I don’t know what to do,”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t want to make you mad, and quite frankly I didn’t want him to ruin my mood as well, because of late I’ve been so happy,I just wanted to ignore him until he gives up,” she said, moving closer, and putting her soft hands on my face. Her touch only, calmed me down, and the fury inside me diminished.
