Swimming With Fangs

Chapter 32

Armin Van Buuren~ Miss you, love you, and I need you now

~~~~~~~~~~~

Brooklyn~ 

I arrive at Tristan's house and I knock twice, but after a minute, he's still not answering. I groan and ring the bell. But still no answer, I decide to get out my phone and dial him, of course, this time he fucking answers! 

"Hello?" He speaks. 

"Hey, Tristan... it's me." 

"Brooklyn?" 

I sigh and lean against his door. "I lost the finals..." I say sadly. 

"I'm sorry... I am, really." 

"You left.." I add again. 

"Because I knew you didn't want me there. I just took it seriously... a bit later than usual." 

"Where are you?" 

"I'm walking around... why do you ask?" 

"I'm at your place.. and you didn't answer." 

"Oh... I'm sorry, I'll be there soon." 

"No, it's okay.. I'll go home." 

I walk to my car and he sighs over the phone. 

"Please just wait...?" He asks. 

I look down at my feet and then back at the house. "An hour." 

"2.." He says.

"Fine 2 max. If you make it here on time, It'll be okay timing." I say. 

"I'm already here." 

I turn around to look and he put away his phone and just stares at me with love, even If I hurt him, he still doesn't hate me... why do I feel like he should? Why would I want him to hurt me?? It's not natural, him in my life made sense I guess.. It was all confusing. 

"Come inside?" He asks. 

I nod, and make my way inside the house behind him. He turns the lights on in the lounge and leads me to the couch, it was getting strange being next to him, but what do I do to make it better? 

My mind is full of questions. 

"I'm sorry about your team... about it losing the finals." He says at last... 

I smile at him. "I wish you were there with me.... but I was a idiot." I sigh. 

He shakes his head at me. "I wanted to give you space, and I have... all I want to know is do I have to continue leaving you alone... or just.." He cuts off and looks away from me. 

"I'd prefer you not leaving." I smile sadly. "But I don't mean as partners." 

He looks at me. "I understand." He nods. 

I smile at him and stand up, he comes to the door with me and sadly looks at me. "Don't you want to stay a bit?" He asks. 

"I should get home actually... I'll see you around." I say and walk out. 

"Bye..." He says. 

"See you!" I wave and jump into my car. 

Tristan~ 

After hearing her say those things to me... I felt heartbroken all over again.... I loved her, and when the one you love doesn't want you to be with them, it hurts...

She wanted to be friends, I wanted more... maybe If we started over, I can show her I still love her and I would not accept anything else, but being each other's partners. I needed her, and I missed her. 

"Hey brother!" Selene parks her car and I snap out of my thoughts, I almost forgot she was coming over to visit... 

"Hey Sel!" I smile and wave her over. 

She runs into my arms as fast as you could say 'snack' ;) I laugh as she squeals and I drag her inside. 

"How are you doing?" I ask her, sitting her down. 

"Oh, you know. This and that... that and this." She smirks. 

"Oh, you and your life... so fantastic." I joke. 

"How are you?" She asks me. 

"I'm doing... well." 

"Don't hide it." She groans. 

"I'm having some... girlfriend trouble?" 

"Oh.. I see, what's going on with you and Brook?" 

"It's a long story." I say. 

"We've got time." She leans forwards. 

"...It's a really... long story." I say to her, seriously. 

She gasps. "You and her really are badly hurt aren't you?" 

"You got that.." I nod. 

"Oh... ouch." She winces. 

"She friend-zoned me Selene... how bad do you think exactly?" 

"She what!?" She shouts and then puts her hands to her mouth. "Holy shit." 

"Yeah, exactly what I thought." 

"She'll get over it." Selene smiles sadly at me and pulls be to hug her. "It'll be fine."

"I don't think so this time.." I say, heartbroken. 

"Of course she'll forgive you, everyone sees the look she gives you, pure love in those eyes Tris." 

I sigh and stand up and get a bottle of blood, taking a long sip. "I cant live without her..." 

"I've heard that from a lot of guys, but in your case, I can see the truth in that." She smiles. "You'll get her back, and I'll help you." Selene claps. 

I roll my eyes. "Let's leave it Sel, I've got to go... I'll see you at dinner." I groan and walk out the door, I needed to clear out my head....
