Fix Our Love [Sequel to Pretty Love]

Chapter 44- Honey Is For Bees, Silly Bear

[Anna's POV]

I checked my phone after an hour. We were all still waiting for Julia to come out.

"What's taking her so long?"I asked.

"I'll go check on her..."Joe said.

I nodded and watched him walk away. Julia...what could she be doing that took an hour? A conversation? Apologizes?

[Joe's POV]

I was walking towards Pete's hospital room. Haven't talked in a while and wanting to date his wife, I wonder how he'll feel. I really liked her to the point I wanted to ask her to be mine today, but since Pete was in the hospital and she wanted to see him, I don't know if I will. She could still love him for all I know. But the bad thing was, is I hope she doesn't.

Soon, I knocked on the door and opened it. Not expecting anything, I saw Julia with Pete. Holding hands and kissing. This kind of broke my heart. I stood there, feeling my heart slowly rip apart.

"J-Julia..."I said.

She pulled away slowly from Pete's lips, revealing a grin on his face. Julia looked at Pete and back at me.

"I'll be back, Pete."She told him.

She let go of his hands and walked towards me.

"Let's talk outside..."she told me.

I nodded slowly and walked out with her. Julia closed the door behind her. Her eyes looked around like she was nervous.

"I'm sorry, Joe."She told me.

"Sorry for what?"I asked. "You knew I had feeling for you!"

"That's the point! I thought I moved on from Pete, but when I saw him and looked into his eyes, I realized deep down, I can't leave him."She spoke. I just shook my head and with a frown. "Joe, you and me, we aren't together."

"But I wanted us to."I yelled. "I thought you felt the same way. But, I was wrong. You still love your husband..."

"I do love him. But, I only thought of you and me...as...friends."She said.

"Friends..."I shook my head. "I should of known. Why did I think you would love me? You have a husband, someone who is Better than me!"

"Joe, please just calm down!"Julia touched my arm.

That was when I took a breath and relaxed. I was jealous. And showed it. I spoke it. She was right. I needed to calm down. Maybe I should of just took the time to realize that she still loved Pete. But why didn't I see it?

"I'm sorry, Julia."I said.

"It's okay...."

"No. I daydreamed too much. I thought of us. I thought of you with me. But I didn't realize the worst things, like what's happening now..."

"Joe...sometimes you have to let things go. Cause the longer you hold on to something, you will get hurt... Just, let this go."she told me. She touched my face with her hand. "You're a good man, Joe. Don't let this hurt you forever."

I nodded. "Thank you."I said.

She gave me a smile. "Come here."
