Since We Have Fallen In Love... [Garrance AU] {Book 2} (Completed)

Chapter 31: Reconcile

*Garroth's POV*

"L-Laurance...it's over, isn't it?"

I didn't expect an answer, any less than 'yes'. I was still so damn frustrated, with everything. I wasn't happy with anyone, right now. I'm also pretty sure, that they all feel the same.

"Garroth...I'm not answering that," Laurance shakily replied. I could tell he had been crying, through his voice. He didn't deserve the right to cry. "I just want to talk..."

"You didn't want to talk before!" I yelled into the phone, getting frustrated, again. "I'm sick and tired of all the fighting! I freaking hate it! I just want things to go back to normal!"

"So do I!" He yelled back.

"Then why do you keep starting things?!"

"Garroth, listen to me! I-"

"I don't want to hear it! Maybe, all of these years, I was wrong about you!"

"You're being ridiculous, Garroth!"

"So are you!"

"I can't deal with this, right now..."

"Neither can I!"

I didn't allow him to get another word in, and immediately hung up. I stood there, not sure what to do, now. I couldn't go back home; no way Vylad or Dante would want to see me; Aphmau and Aaron are at work; I hate Gene; Zane and Travis just left for a vacation... I have nowhere to go...

"Trouble in paradise?" A voice interrupted me from my thoughts. It was that of an unfamiliar male.

I jumped, startled. I thought I had been alone. Spinning around, I was faced with a stranger. He was seated on the bench, holding his hands together, and giving me a warm smile.

"I-If you don't mind me asking... How long have you been there for..?"

"Long enough, to overhear your dilemma," the man chuckled, patting the seat beside him. Gingerly, I sat beside the stranger. "Problems with the girlfriend?"

"I guess you could say that..," I growled under my breath a bit. "But, they're my fiancé..."

"Fiancée, eh?" The man chuckled, running a hand through his light brown hair. "Hey, listen...I'm waiting for my bus, but it's gonna be a while. I came here early... If you want to talk, I can listen. I don't mind. I'll be your unbiased opinion."

This sounds reasonable...

I agree...

"You don't have to listen to my story..," I traced my finger against my leg.

"Nonsense. Go on. Tell me everything..."

*Laurance's POV*

"I can't deal with this, right now..."

"Neither can I!"

"Garroth, listen! I will always love you! Nothing will change that! I'm sorry, okay?! I overreacted! I can't deal with all of this...I'm so sorry...I love you so much..."
