Josh POV
I stand motionless at the airport after she leaves. Why did I treat her so poorly? She had to go back to work. I look down as I walk back out to my car and beat myself up. I am so selfish when it comes to her. Even though we came here because of something terrible it was nice to have her around me 24/7. No work, no other friends ....nothing. I close my eyes and sit in my car thinking about her by herself and upset on how I left things and I start to cry. Inexcusable.
Later that night I text her and ask her if she arrived safely. I receive a text back immediately saying YUP. I screwed up. I know she is upset. I dial her number and she picks up in the second ring. "Hey" she says quietly. "Baby I am sorry" I say. "Should have thought about that earlier. A little support would have been nice" she says sadly. "I know, I just want you with me. It was selfish" I say. "Ok well I am on set. I have to go" she says as I now hear people talking around her. "You just arrived a few hours ago and you are already working?" I ask concerned. "Yes I am. Bye Josh" she says and she hangs up. I am ruining our marriage with my selfishness.
I go to the hospital to visit Erin and sit with her. She is going go be released tomorrow. "Happy to come home?" I ask excitedly. She nods smiling but I know she is still so sad. I grab her hand and look at her. "Tell me why Erin? I need to understand" I say searching in her face. "Can't explain it. Just didn't feel appreciated or loved" she says. I look at her. "He isn't the only man in the world. So many guys would love to be with you" I say getting upset. Seeing my baby sister crushed kills me. She nods but I know she doesn't believe it. "Sis, you wanna come on a trip with me?" I ask. She looks up and tilts her head to the side. "LA? Or Vancouver?" I ask. She smiles. "Yes.... Either one" she says smiling at my Mom. "Ok then you come with me then. Let your big brother take care of you" I say.
The next few days we relax at my parents house after Erin got released. I have been calling Colleen everyday and texting but knowing how busy she is on set I understand when her replies are short and are few and far in between. My phone rings after dinner and I see its her. "Baby?" I answer shocked at the phone call. "Hey" she says. "You wanted me to call you?" She asks. I nod. "Yes. Erin is coming with me to either Vancouver or LA. Where do you think? Do you need me out there?" I ask hoping she says Vancouver. "Go to LA. I will be home in two weeks" she says. My heart sinks. She doesn't want me.
