Thinking out loud

vacation

"Seems like the patriots are in for a rough mid season with the news of Julian Edelman's model girlfriend Ashley Schaffer is having an affair with teammate Rob Gronkowski-" the news anchor was saying when Julian turned off his tv in anger and threw the remote at it. Glass shattered everywhere and Julian screamed hoping his pain would end but it only seemed to make it worse. His thoughts were of Rob and Ashley kissing and having sex, it sickened him. Julian ran to the bathroom and emptied his stomach , he couldn't believe it, the baby the one that just a day ago he knew could only be his could now possibly be his best friends.
For the first time Julian sobbed.

------------------------------------

Rob woke up from the couch and stretched , his bones cracking and his head pounding as he remembered everything that happened yesterday. He walked up the stairs but when he opened his bedroom door Ashley was gone. He immediately ran down stairs freaking out wondering where she could be, he checked every room in his house every second that ticked by his heart seemed to beat faster. As he was running by the kitchen to double check everywhere upstairs a sheet of paper on his dining room table caught his eye. He read it and then read it again to make sure he was reading it correctly.
Getting his car keys he ran out the door and jumped in his car, knowing who he had to tell.

------------------------------------------

Julian was getting ready to punch Rob in the face for even daring to come over to his house when the other man shoved a piece of paper in his face.
"What the fuck is this" he asked taking it from him.
"Just read it" Rob answered breathing hard and pushing his way past the shorter man to sit down.
"She's gone" Julian whispered re reading the note for the 5th time.
"She didn't say where she was going"? He asked Rob whom had his head in his hands.
"No, I woke up this morning to find the note, she must of left some time last night" he said.
"You should of been awake , making sure she was okay" Julian spat angrily.
"Oh yeah that sounds right coming from her boyfriend who just left her to deal with everything on her own" Rob said with a chuckle and Julian was about to hit him when his phone rang.
Julian rushed over to it not even looking at the caller id.
"Hello" He rushed out.
"Hey Jules , I um I just wanted to let you know I'm at Aaron's house" Ashley said nervously.
J- "Why are you there? I've been worried sick about you. You need to come home. Traveling like that isn't good for the baby"
A- "no Julian I ....... I need time and you do too" she said trying to fight back tears.
J- "Babe I'm sorry about yesterday , we can work this out.... Just please come home, Julian said trying to fight back tears himself.
A- "I'm sorry Jules but I ...... I need to think ...... But I love you ...... I love you so much ...... And I'm so so so sorry for hurting you" she said before hanging up.
"No baby please , Ashley please come home" he yelled and slumped to the floor in defeat "FUCK" Julian shouted throwing his phone at the wall.
"Where is she" Rob asked and Julian had seemed to forget he was there while he was on the phone.
Julian jumped up and threw himself at Rob knocking him down "this is all your fault he said punching Rob and immediately hearing a bone crack from the force of the hit.
"Stop it Julian damn't this isn't solving anything" Rob said grabbing Julian's fist but it was hard to understand him with a broken nose and blood gushing out of it.
"She was my girlfriend" Julian said ignoring Rob.
"I know ....... I know she was and I'm sorry" he said as Julian got off of him and sat down.
"But I love her too" he continued when he got up and put ice on his broken nose.
"For how long"? Julian asked without looking up at him.
"I knew her back in college, she loved me but I loved to party more. I broke her heart and then when you brought her to practice one day I ......... I realised I loved her then" he said looking at Julian.

----------------------------------------

As Ashley hung up on Julian , Aaron pulled her into a hug.
"I know that was hard for you to do but he has a right to know where you're at" he said softly.
"I know, but I..... I just know he hates me so much right now" she said looking up at Aaron.
"He doesn't hate you, he's just confused right now and hurt, but just give him time to clear his head" he said wiping the tears from her face.
"Let's just enjoy the rest of the day together and don't worry about anything just think of this as a little vacation" he finished smiling down at her and kissing her forehead.
