I drove up to the bar I was meeting Andrew at. When I walked in Andrew was sitting at the bar waiting for me. He already had a beer in his hands when I walked up to him. "Couldn't wait for me huh?" I say. He jumps. I scared him and I laugh a little.
"Uhh no I couldn't I guess, haha." he says motioning a seat for me.I take the seat next to him and Andrew orders me a drink. "I got the drinks tonight alright?" He says.
"That means if I do get drunk its your fault."
"Well I'm willing to take that responsibility ." He said with a smile. "So what do ya wanna talk about?"
"Why did you stop talking to me? And suddenly you want to be best friends again." I asked. And right before he was about to answer he was announced to go onstage.
"Andrew your up." The anouncer said.
Andrew looked at me. "Listen and learn Emma." He said then stood up and walked up onstage. What the hell was he talking about.
"Hey guys my name is Andrew McMahon and uh this is a new one. Hope you enjoy it." He said with a smile then flashed a look at me before he turned to the piano that was set up. "This ones called restless dream."
He began playing his piano then begane singing, "I write you from this grounded airplane. I wonder how you've been and where you are."
He sang beautifully. I'm not quite used to this type of song. I haven't listened to any of his new music and i'm used to his up beat songs from "something corporate". This was a slow and sweet song. Suddenly he sang the line "I guess i've missed you from the day that we first met." And then I started thinking. 'Listen and learn Emma'. Those words kept spinning in my head alone with the lyrics he was singing. "And I cannot believe I let you go." Then it all made since. I jumped out of my seat and rushed through the crowd of people and outside the bar.
I dragged my hands through my hair not believeing what was going on. Maybe I just didn't want to believe it. Suddenly I hear the doors of the bar open and to my side I see Andrew. "Are you ok?" He said with a worried look on his face.
I looked at him not knowing to be upset or happy. "W-was that song?" I said not being able to finish my own words.
"About you? Yeah it was. I really missed you Emz. I told you. And i'm trying to make it all up but you seem upset with me. I though you would enjoy the song but I guess..." I inturupted him with a giant unexpecting hug. I understood now how I felt. I felt happy. I didn't take him very long to hug me back. I knew at this point I did really forgive him.
He pulled out of the hug. "Wanna go back inside?" He said and all I could do was smile and nod. We walked back inside and sat back at the bar. For hours we talked, laughed and drank. I think I probably drank to much...
"Hey Emz I think we should probably get you home now."
"Nope I'm good."
"I seriously think we should. You cant even stand for 10 seconds with out losing your balance."
"Thats a lie. I can totaly stand."
"Really? Then do it."
I stood up and placed my hands on my hips. "See?!" I said before suddenly losing my balance and Andrew had to catch me before I fell and hit the floor.
"Yup your way to drunk. Come on, lets go."
"Aw but I wanna stay."
"I'm sorry but we need to get you home. I'll take you."
Andrew picked me up and walked outside to his car and set me in the passenger seat then closed the door. He got in the drivers side and started the car. "Do you even remember where you live?" He asked.
"In a house. Duh."
"Okay so my place it is."
