The Other Side Part 2

18.

I walked into the room and seen Phil looking out the window. I walked to the couch hearing him run to me.

"So how did it go?"

"It's over Phil."

"W-what?"

"I let her go."

"What why?!"

"Because I love her." Phil didn't say anything else but sit next to me in the couch and rub my shoulder. "Let's get out of here."

I walked out not caring who seen me, once we reached the car Phil sat in the passenger seat not saying anything. I stood by the hood of the car I took in deep breath a began hitting it as I screamed. I stood straight up fixing my tie and jacket. I ran my hand threw my curls slowing down my breaths. I got in and looked back to the building, when I did I seen Melanie looking down at me from her window. I started the car and quickly drove away.

Me and Phil sat in the bar drinking shot after shot after shot.

"Man it's okay we can now start this tour again."

"I guess your right I can't just sit here be sad all my life, I need my music."

"That's my man! We have to call Brandon tomorrow to set us up a show." Phil said slurring his words

"You know what man now that I'm single again I can now just sleep with who ever I fucking want!" I giggled leting out a hiccup making Phil laugh.

"Order more drinks I'm going to use the bathroom." Phil got up and stumbled to the bathroom making me laugh.

"Hey waitress we need more shots over here!" I played with the empty glasses then the waitress placed a few more shots down while grabbing the empty glasses. "Thanks sweetheart"

"But of course Bruno."

Rita placed the tray down and sat next to me.

"Oh man I wasn't suppose to see you in umm." I looked down to my watch and I couldn't read it my vision was too blurry. "What time is it?"

"It's already eight."

"Oh damn well I still got a few more hours of freedom."

"Yes so why are you wasting it here?"

"B-because Melanie doesn't love me and I'm n-not going to force her on me, it's not right."

Rita grabbed the shot from my hand and took it to her lips as she took it back drinking the liquid."Well you spent the whole day here drinking away with your friend why didn't you at least attend the wedding?"

"Because s-she doesn't want me there." I say letting out a hiccup

"Well how would you know? You just told her you loved her and left."

"W-what are you trying to say?"

"All I'm saying is she didn't leave you, you simply left her." I looked back down at the glasses taking what she just said.

"What do-" I looked up and she was gone. Phil then came back and I looked to him.

"What?" Phil gave me a confused look.

"You want to go to a party?" I say hiccuping again

"What party?"

"Come on let's go!" I grabbed my keys but then I fell once I reached the doors. "Lets take a cab instead!" Phil helped me up and we got in a cab.

After driving a few minutes we reached our destination, we got out as I paid the driver, "we are here!"

"Bruno where are we?"

"A party!"

"Whos?"

"Lets go find out."

We walked in seeing lights flashing and music playing. Me and Phil went to the dance floor and began dancing as girls came to us. I just laughed looking to Phil knowing I was going to take one of them home, then the music stopped.

"Alright everyone let's find a seat as we let the bride and groom have their first dance." the DJ spoke, Phil grabbed me pulling me away from girls.

"Hey man those girls were about to give me their numbers."

"Bruno we are at Melanie's wedding!"

"Oh I know."

"Bruno why are we here? You said you were letting her go!"

"But I love her Phil you can't let someone you love go."

"Bruno your drunk she's not going to want to see you! And you were just dancing with some random girls that could be her family! You're not thinking straight."

"She will be glad to see me, watch." I pushed Phil off me and began to walk to the dance floor.

"Bruno get back here!"

"Shh man remember they can't know we are here." I winked to Phil and pushed my way to the dance floor. They finished their dance and everyone walked back on the dance floor. I tried to look for Melanie but she was gone.

"B come on we have to get out of here before Melanie or worse Nick sees you!" Phil said grabbing me.

"Man get off me I'm a grown man I can make my own damn decisions." I say feeling a bit dizzy.

"You!" I turned around and seen Nick.

"Oh shit Bruno come on let's go!"

"I thought I told you to never come near me or my wife!"

"Hey look we were just leaving." Phil said stepping in front of me trying to push me out.

"No Phil I think we should let him know the truth about me and his new wife."

"Bruno shut up you're drunk!"

"No I'm not!" I hiccuped in the middle of my sentence. "I think you should know Melanie still loves me! She has been coming to my house every day for the past two weeks!"

"Bruno that's enough let's go!" Phil kept pulling on my jacket but I pushed him off.

"And you know what else! She was screaming my name last night!" Nick tackled me to the ground making everyone stop dancing and look at us. The music stopped and the lights came on. I punched Nick knocking him off of me feeling Phil try and pull me off.

"Nick!" I heard a familiar voice when I looked up it was Melanie. "Bruno what the hell are you doing!"

Security guards grabbed me and Phil and Melanie came walking to me.

"Look Mel I just-" she slapped me across my face causing everyone to let out a gasp. I realized what I did and knew I screwed up.

"I never want to see you again."

"Look Mel-."

"Don't touch me! You told me I would never see you again!" She looked to me as her eyes began to fill with tears, I looked back at her not knowing what to say. "Get out." She slowly turned away and walked back to Nick to help him up. I looked around seeing everyone look at me and in the distance I seen Rita she gave me a smile and walked away.

I pushed the guards off me and walked out feeling Phil behind me.

"Lets go back to the bar." I said once we walked out and putting a cigrette to my lips.

"The bar? Bruno that's how we got in this mess the first place!"

"Relax Phil it wasn't a big deal."

"Relax? You just fought Nick at their wedding! Just because things aren't working out for you doesn't mean you ruin it for someone else." he turned and walked the other way.

"Phil where you going?"

"Home, to my family."

I stood there looking around and began walking the other direction back to the bar.
