Meeting My Love

Chap 13

Sherri P.O.V

I woke up with the worst headache of all time. God what did I drink?

That's when I remembered. The Pain. Vodka. Cigarettes.

I sighed. And I'm in the kitchen at least I think. The kitchen has never been to comfortable. But I'm way to comfortable.

I moved and I felt arms wrapped around me. God if I turn around and Peter's arms are around me I'm going to have a mental, physical, and verbal breakdown.

I looked at the shelf and saw some Aspirin and a glass of water. It's really late. Sun isn't even shining in my room.

I looked at my clock. 2 am. Great Sherri nice to mess up your sleeping schedule.

I grabbed the Aspirin and put it in my mouth washing it down with the water. My head felt like someone was stabbing me.

I took a deep breath and got out the bed. I almost fell. God Sherri, great just great.

How did I get into these pajamas? I know where I blacked out at. And that was definitely in the kitchen on the floor in my clothes.

I finally got the courage to look back at my bed. I turned and looked. It's Teri. She came?

I smiled a small smile. She came for me. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

I went to the bathroom and looked at my arms. They were wrapped and my feet. She got me off the floor?

My hair wasn't sticky it was clean. Did she wash my hair?

I have officially fell more in love with her. She helped me out. But why? I mean I get that I helped her when she was with Landon but she didn't have to do this.

I walked downstairs my curls bouncing off my shoulder.

I didn't immediately step on glass. In fact I didn't step on glass at all. It was clean. I walked into the kitchen. Spotless how it was before my anger set in.

Hell yes I was still mad. But it wasn't as great. It still hurt and that's all I wanted to forget. Was the pain.

I looked at the clock 2:30 am. I went and sat on my kitchen bench thinking. I just sat. Thinking.

I messed up totally. Cigarettes. Achchol. And Glass.

I now I'm bound for a lecture from Teri. It's no way around it. I just have to get over it. I deserve the lecture.

Light started to shine in my house. I looked at the clock. 6:22 am.

I shrugged. Must of been deep in thought. But I know that I'm not about to give my all to anyone in a while. All that does is hurt me. Constantly.

I heard footsteps coming downstairs. I poured myself some orange juice. I drunk it patiently awaiting my judgement hour.

I heard her voice when she reached the last step. "Sher?"

She sees me. Oh my gosh. Take me now.

She walked into the kitchen and I smiled a small smile. "Hey Polo."

She smiled a small smile. "Sher, hon what was going on?"

"Teri it's a lot going on in my head can we just not?" I asked leisurely.

She shook her head still being gentle. "No Sherri because the more you put it off the worst it gets. The more your thoughts suffocate your brain. Which equals more pain."

I nodded knowing that she was right. "He cheated Teri. He cheated on me. And I did nothing but be loyal to him and he cheated on-" the pain hit and the tears started to flow and I just stopped talking.

I put my head down my curls covering my face.

I heard Teri get closer until she was so close that I could see her from under my curls.

She found my chin and lifted my head up. I looked up tears evident.

She kissed me. It wasn't a peck or none of the usual kisses that I shared with Peter. It was that kiss that only Teri could give me. That kiss that was filled with nothing but love.

She smiled when we had pulled back for we needed to breath. "Trust me Sherri, the last thing I thought that Peter could have done was hurt you. But I'm here. I'm here to pick up the peices. I'm here to love you. You just have to let me."

I sighed. "That's a little hard right now Teri."

She nodded. "I know. You know that I know that. But we'll take it day by day. Trust me you'll fall back in love."

She said bragging high key. I laughed. "Thanks Polo. I needed that laugh."

She chuckled. "I was so serious."

I opened the fridge and looked threw it. "Thanks by the way. For getting me off the kitchen floor and washing my hair."

She smiled. "I mean why would I pass up the opportunity to bath Sherri Saum?"

We both laughed. "To shay. But I still don't understand how you knew to come."

"I didn't feel right yesterday. I knew something was up. Might not have known exactly what but I knew something was up. So I asked Peter, who lied at first. Something I didn't like so I pushed the topic and finally Peter told me what happened. And I drove here at 6 pm. By the way work?"

I honestly wasn't ready to see Peter but I can't let the team down because of my issues. "Yeah that's fine. I need to get out of here before I break some more stuff. I'm going to change right quick."

Teri nodded and I ran upstairs and changed. I unwrapped my arms and feet and on my left arm there was a scar. Obviously you could tell something had happened.

Oh well. I put on a white and black undershirt, a white blazer. I put some jeans on and my boots.

I left my hair down. I didn't feel like touching them today. I didn't put on makeup either. I grabbed my belongings and came back downstairs.

There stood the beauty that's trying to make it all better. She stood there smiling lazily at me.

"Beautiful Sher." She added slyly.

"As are you Polo." I answered.

We drove in her car, something about making sure I got home safely.

When we got to the set I took a deep breath. I was really hesitant about walking in this set. Not a little very very hesitant.

Teri opened the door and I practically froze. I didn't want to face it. I wasn't ready to face it.

Teri grabbed my hand and tugged me in smiling an encouraging smile.

I let it go having a sudden urge to talk myself into a high. "Umm I have to go to the bathroom. I'll come in. And I can't leave if that's what your thinking, because you drove here."

She nodded. "Don't punk out on my Sher."

I took a deepbreath. "As much as I wish I could, I'm not going to punk out on you."

She nodded and walked towards the set.

I made a quick sprint to the rest room and looked into the mirror. "Your good Sher. Your good."

Who am I fooling? I'm not good and I'm not ready to see him.

Still I told Teri I wasn't going to punkout. I sighed and washed my hands before walking out towards the set.

I took yet another deepbreath and walked in. Peter immediately looking at my hand.

I smiled when everyone yelled. "Sherri!"

Except for Peter of course. "Hey guys."

Bradley came and hugged me. A little to embraceful but hey I wasn't here.

"Good to see you Sher."

"Same Bradley."

I took a seat next to Teri who had motioned me over there.

I like usual got on my phone.

I don't think I can do this. Ughhhh.
