Right My Wrongs (Adym Alyxander Yorba)

Chapter 19

I'm packing up all of my belongings when I hear a knock on the door. I open it up to see Jack come in. I invited him over so we could talk. Jack speaks, "The air feels weird, what's wrong?" I look him deep in the eyes, not knowing what to say. I hope I'm making the right choice. "I don't think we should see each other anymore romantically. I'd love to remain friends, but nothing more. Adym and I are together again." While his face may not show it, his eyes are filled with sorrow. "Although being just friends with you will hurt, I can manage. I truly thought we have... had something." I bow my head in embarrassment, "We did and we do, but my heart is telling me to go this way. I'm not asking you to support me, but to understand." He says, "That I can do." The air is filled with silence and he leans up to me and puts his palm on my face and caresses my cheek. "I really will miss you Jack." I say. "I as well." He responds. We both just stare at each other and at the same time we say, "I love you." It's almost as if it's a mutual understanding. He gives me a kiss on the cheek and I say, "See you soon." He replies back, "See you very soon." He leaves and closes the door shut. I turn around and hear the door open again, it's Rebecca. "Hey girl, I just ran into Jack. What happened?" I say back, "I just explained to him I'm seeing Adym and we can only be friends." She looks at me with a weird look on her face and I retort, "What?" She rolls her eyes, "I'm going to be one hundred percent honest with you Kat. I think Jack is better for you." I say back, "I know he is, but he isn't Adym." She looks at me with almost pity in her eyes and I furrow my brows together in frustration. I finish packing up the rest of my things and she helps me bring down my belongings to her car. As we walk down the stairs, we see Sawyer and Adym pull up. "Hey pretty ladies, thought you might need some help!" Sawyer yells. I yell back, "Yea, can we lit some stuff in the back of your car?" He nods his head and we put a shit ton of boxes in his car. Adym parks the car and comes walking up to me. I hold my arms out to get a hug from him and he just walks past me. I stand alone with confusion. "Adym?" I say. "Oh yes, Kat?" He says with an attitude. "Can I have a hug?" He says, "Nah, but I'm sure Jack wants one." I stay calm and say, "I told him I was seeing you and to leave. Chill." His mean demeanor goes down a few notches and says, "I'm sorry, come here." He gives me a big hug and squeezes me tight. "See, hugs are what are going to save the world." I say jokingly. He laughs back and we get ready for the move. I run back up to the apartment and make sure I have everything. I walk up into my bedroom and in the corner of my eye, I see a tiny box. I look in the box and find photos mixed of all of us, including Jack. I the tiny box in my pocket and I run back to the car and say, "All clear, let's get it."

We arrive at Adyms place and I can't get over how beautiful it is, I'm so glad he moved. He has had some really weird stalker stories and I didn't feel comfortable with him still staying in such a low security apartment complex. We make our way inside with all of our belongings and put in our rooms. I make my way to my room and see my bed isn't there anymore. I look at Adym and he points to his room. There's only one bed in there and it's a brand California king bed frame and mattress. On top of the bed is a big red bow and a note that reads, "Don't hate me xx" I take a look at him and hug him. "Thank you so much Adym, I appreciate it. What happened to my bed?" He pulls out 100 bucks and says, "Craigslist." I laugh and say, "Use it as my security deposit." He laughs and puts it back in his pocket. "So, do we have two rooms up for space?" I say. "One, Jason decided to join us. I know he wanted to think about it for a bit and he finally made his mind. If you know anyone chill who can pay rent, let me know." I nod my head and start to put my things away. As I'm taking my belongings out, I hear him say, "I love you, Kat." I turn and say back to him, "Do you truly mean that?" He smiles and says, "Of course, I know I've done too much wrong, but you make me right." I kiss him for a second and pull out a picture frame with a picture of Adym and I on it. "The night when we first kissed." I whisper. Adym hugs me from behind and says, "And there will never be a last." I repeat that in my head and try to convince myself that he means that, but I just don't know.
