Forever and Always

Part 14

What? Is it just me or do always people show up when I talk about them?
"Why are you here? How did you know where I live?"
"I didn't travel, I wanted to surprise Harry. I was going to knock on the door when I heard someone else inside. I waited and hid until you left. I wanted to eavesdrop but my dear Harry would tell me anything I wanted to know. And he did", she smiled evilly.
How could he do that. I'm his sister and she's his girlfriend. He can't do that.
"Leave my brother alone, bitch!", I yelled.
"Listen missy, Harry loves me, he won't believe a dirty rumor like this. I won't tell him I was here, and I'm going to be so nice to you, you'll go with the flow, or you'll choose the hard way?"
Ok for sure I'm going with the hard way.. But shall I mention it?
"I guess you're going with the flow", she smiled and left.
"Wow.."
"Aiden!"
"What!"
"Christmas is in 11 days!"
"So..?"
"We had this reunion thing, remember?"
"Oh yeah.. Where were we going?"
"I think we were going to meet somewhere then start the 'journey' from there.. Are you feeling well? Can you go?"
"Well yeah.. I'm so much better now, I'll be fine by then."
"Great then!"
"I'm really bored.. Are we going to stay here forever? I'm tired but that doesn't mean we have to sit and do nothing."
The idea popped into my head. I looked at Aiden and smiled. Then he looked at me and smiled. It seems he got it.
"How about we take some games with us! And food! And some snacks! And—"
"Taylor, Taylor. We're not going to spend the weekend there."
"But I got so excited.."
"It's okay..", he tapped on my back.
"Tomorrow's Monday, when are we coming back to work?"
"I'm not going to work anyways, I'll drive you then come home."
"Oh I forgot, I'm not leaving you alone!"
"It's okay, Taylor I'm fine, don't overreact."
"When we're back I'll see."
"Alright let's go, and grab a coat with you it's really cold out there."
"Alright, mom."
He smiled at me.
I grabbed 2 coats one for me and one for him.
"Let's go!"
We jumped in the car and drove to our 'secret place'. I hope no one knows about it forever. Took us about 45 minutes. Not bad.

We set up everything together. He laid on the hammock and I opened my bag and showed him a bag of chips.
"Taylor..", he rolled his eyes.
"Those things aren't good for your health. Plus, I never want to see you fat. I like you the way you are", he smiled.
"You know what, I'm not going to eat it only because of the good talk."
I dropped my bag and laid beside him.

After what seemed like 2 hours of nonstop talking, "what are we going to do about Jessie? Their wedding, oh my gosh! That's so close! I totally forgot about that!"
"When is it?"
"I think he said December 20th, he's leaving after Christmas.."
"We have to find a way to tell Harry in few days.. But listen, we came here to rest and have fun, so forget about it for now", he smiled.
"Alright, tell me, what is it about me that bothers you so much?"
"Everything really", he snapped.
"Hey!", I punched him in the arm.
"Ok ok, you're always worried. You need to be less worried about small problems."
"Hmm.."
"What do you like the most about me?"
"How perfect you are", I laughed.
"Yeah well you are full of flaws", he laughed.
"Excuse me!"
He pushed me off the hammock. "Whoaaa—", I fell on the ground. I can't see Aiden but I can hear him laughing his ass off.
"You.. Are.. So mean."
He is so paying back for that.
I felt like someone was hitting my head with a huge baseball bat. "I have a really bad headache.."
"Just don't think about Jessie and you'll be fine"
"I want to go home.."
He put my face between his hands and whispered, "Hey.. We're here to have fun.. I want you to come home happy, okay?"
"Okay", I smiled.
We laid back and I asked. "what if we couldn't do anything about it.. She'll just leave him broken.. I can't not think about this.."
"Taylor, please, You're not helping, you're just making it so hard. It's actually really simple.."
"Aiden, please I want to go home."
"Fine", he sighed.
"I'm so sorry. The wedding is just so close.. I can't even.. "

Awkward silence.

Awkward silence..

More akward silence...

"I'm not going to work today, nor tomorrow. I'm not going until Harry leaves", I broke the silence.
"Why?"
"It's Christmas. If they won't give us a break then I will take my own break."
"Can you drive me to my house? And wait for 10 minutes, I'll come back to your house, don't worry."
"Alright.."

I went up to my apartment and realized I don't have my keys. I knocked on the door and in less than 2 seconds Harry opened the door. What was he standing beside the door?
"Hey", I smiled.
"Hi", he rolled his eyes.
I walked in and sat on the couch.
"Listen, Harry, I don't care if Jessie is here or not, but I can't find any proof that you would actually believe. I want you to know, that I did my best to prove it to you. It's your choice at the end.."
I got up and walked out of the room. I decided to do nothing about it. That's what he gets for not believing me.

Aiden drove us back home. "let's get ready for the best days of our lives!"
"Taylor..", he said coldly.
"What?!"
"We. Don't. Have. A. Christmas. Tree."
"Of course we do!"
"No we don't."
"We don't?"
"Nope"
"Fine, I'll go buy one", I picked up the car keys. "Don't do anything stupid", I smiled.

Buying a Christmas tree is really hard if Christmas is 2 weeks ahead. People usually prepare since November. But I managed to buy one. A big one. I decided the reunion should end at Aiden's house.
