Fix Our Love [Sequel to Pretty Love]

Chapter 40- I Need Someone To Talk To

*Time Skip- a month later*

[Pete's POV]

This wasn't good. This wasn't good at all. It's been a month and Julia still hasn't forgiven me. We're over, I thought. She gone. I began to cry on the couch. I don't know if Julia cried, wanting me back, but I sure wanted her back again. The house was lonely during the weekdays when Melody would leave for school. No Julia. Her presence was gone. I can sometimes remember her laugh before I sleep every night. It doesn't cheer me up now, but it sure makes me think of what I lost.

I called up Anna earlier, wondering if talking to someone would help me a little. She told me she would be over soon. But I knew one thing. The smell of Julia's perfume would linger on Anna's clothes. She would always hug Anna before she left to go somewhere. And now, Anna would hug me when she comes and I would smell Julia's perfume on her, making me think of her.

*Flashback*

"Julia, I love you!"I said. She shook her head at me. "I-I do!" I kept crying.

"IF YOU DID, THEN WHY DID YOU HURT ME?"she yelled.

*End of Flashback*

I didn't know why I did. That's the one thing I never had the answer to. Why wouldn't I see that it was going to hurt us? Why did I have to be so stupid and blind? Julia was gone. And she probably will never come back to me. Ever.

I tapped on the coffee cup I had in my hand as I waited for Anna to come. Help will be here soon, I thought. Anna was the only one who could help. Patrick, he was mad at me for hurting Julia. But Anna, I knew she was too, but I know she'll still be there for me.

I heard a knock the front door.

"Open the dang door! It's freakin cold!"I heard Anna's voice from outside. I got up from the couch and and unlocked the door. She opened the door and I smelled a breeze of fall air rush in.

"Hey, looser!"she said with smile.

"Might as well say that. But I'm more than that..."I said closing the door behind Anna.

"Okay then. Hey blind idiot, who broke my best friend's heart!"Anna said. "Do you like that?"

I sighed. "No..."

"Well, I'm not calling you anything else for right now."she said.

Anna looked at me as she took off her scarf that was around her neck. She hung it on the coat rack. Then she came up to me and hugged me. She shouldn't have. There it was. Julia's perfume. I breathed in the familiar aroma. It almost made me cry, missing her presence.

"You alright"she asked.

"No..."I told her. "What about Julia."

"She's learning to forget you."

No. Learning to forget me? But...God why? I need her. I need her by me. I need her warmth, her touch, her smile again. I miss her. I can't let her go forever.

"To forget me?"I asked in a heartbroken tone.

Anna let go of me. She looked at the ground. "She's trying to forget about what you have done. She seems to be stronger everyday."she looked up at me. "And you. You seem to weaken..."
