I choose you.

Chapter 10 Bryce

I make my way upstairs when I finish putting the kids to sleep. I can only think about the way I am going to tell Chris.

I feel a hand grab my arm from behind and I turn around to find Seth standing by me.

-what do you want Seth? I ask him not wanting to make any eye contact.

-Bryce, I've already apologised what do you want me to do? I love you more that words can explain and I don't want to loose you. You are everything to me.

Everything to him? If I was his everything why did he do it?

I roll my eyes and laugh sarcastically. I jerk my hand out of his grip before walking to my bedroom.

I grab my phone that was placed on the bed side table and dial in a number. Before I knew what I was doing I was calling Chris.

Ring ring

Ring ring

Ring ring

Ring-

The ringing stops and I get a voice in the background.

-Chris? I ask.

I hear a door close and a whisper come through.

-yes hello? Bryce?

- yeah it's me sorry to call.. I just wanted to ask you... Well. My dad would really like it if he could talk to you.. I'm so sorry about this . So would you mind coming by tomorrow?

- uh yeah! Hey what's going on??

- I'm so sorry!! My dad shouldn't have tweeted it. I'm really sorry.

I was crying and I could think was how much he was going to hate me for this.

He tells me that he will be here and that he doesn't think that something that bad could've happened and tabt I shouldn't worry about it.

I nod but realise he can't see me instead I tell him "ok" and shut off my phone and get into bed.

----------------

I get up the next morning and shower.

I feel pain on my shoulder and my neck, it's probably the position I slept in or the stress from all of this.

I basically run downstairs and get some appetisers, there's a know at the door and hope that it isn't Chris.

I open the door to greet my father. I greet him with a smile and hug him. I lead him inside and get him to help set up the table with some cups and plates for the food.

-dad! Can you get the.. Things? Oh god!

- yep. Don't worry I got it.

- what are we going to say? Well most importantly what are you going to say?

He looks at me before opening his mouth.

My dad begins to talk when he is interrupted by a knock on the door. We both look at each other and I feel the colour drain from both my face and hands. I reach for the handle and open the door. Chris looks at me and I look at him, he smiled and I attempt at smiling back. I swear I couldn't feel my legs.

-hi!  Oh uh come in! I say beige leading him

Inside.

- Hey!  He says before I lead him inside

My dad greets Chris as he walks in and I close the door behind us. Colin should be here any second.

We all sit in the living Room and I offer Chris a drink.

- Chris do you want want thing to drink? I've got some coke, uhh beer?

- A beer would be nice. Thank you.

I walk to the kitchen and get the drinks for everyone. I try to carry everything in one hand as I try with the other but wince as the pain comes back. I hear some footsteps come in.

- Bryce let me help. Here. Chris says to me. Being the gentleman he is, I let him carry the drinks. He looks at my and and asks.

- Hey what happened to your hand?

- Oh this? I dropped a glass and got a small cut. It's really nothing.

He realises that I'm not telling the full story but drops it and walls to the living room.

A knock at the door startles me and I go to answer the door.

Colin stands before me and greets me with a hug.

I take him to where we are all sitting, he greets everyone and I take a seat next to my dad.

- Colin, Chris first of all Bryce and I want to apologise. It wasn't meant to happen. I didn't know that Chris hadn't been cast yet. I don't know if you guys have seen it but.. Chris and Colin both cut my dad off.

- Honestly Ron it's fine. I saw it this morning it's really not a big deal, I found that you were Proud and I get that. To me it's really not a  deal. Chris says and my heart trembles.

- Me too. I mean I really didn't mind, it was a small mistake but there was really no big deal. Colin adds and I feel the relief wash over my body!

My dad and I apologise again. Chris and I have made eye contact with each other this whole time.

I'm glad I've gotten to know him. We spend the rest of the afternoon indoors, we have lunch  and by the time we finish it is already 10:00 pm.

We say our goodbyes and when I lead Chris put he says one last thing.

- Can't wait for coffee on Monday!
