A Writer 's Love ( The Reunion )

  RENZO'S P.O.V

I entered the bar where Brandon told me.  The same bar where we used to hang out 6 years ago. And looks like theres a big expantion for 6 years , it was never like before no far from what it looks like before.  It was only small back then with 50 tables , small counter and stage.  But now , it looks like it was windened 6 times that its actual .  It has more than a hundred tables ,  a wide counter , a small resto for those who just want to dine ,  its stage was expanded , and a private booth which where I was heading now.
   I find my way towards the 12th private booth where the waiter has pointed for me earlier.  I glance everywhere , they had a lot of costumers. No wonder why they got an early reconstruction for just 6 years.  At the stage was a group of young man performing an alternative rock music.  I smiled when I remember what it was before , when everything was fine and easy.  But time pass , days go by and something has to change.

  " There he is! " a Familir voice exclaimed the moment I opened the door.    I smile seeing the four familiar faces I used to call as my second family.

    " Finally man!  I thought you wont show up "  Brandon said , as he tap my back and lead me to the velvet leather seat.

   " Why not?  I just arranged some business thing thats why I'm late "  I explained and chuckled.

   Brandon who was on his All black outfit, nodded.

   " Here's  for you "  Austin said , reaching me a bottle of beer.

    " So whats up with you "  Marco asked.  As he took a gulp on his bottle.  "  You change a lot , businessman "

   I laughed and cleared my throat " No , not really.   " I was in Tenessee these past two weeks and I visited a ... "    I fall into silence when I remember  Avery ,  the last time I saw her before she left North Carolina was 6 years ago with that teary eyes and sadness.  But when I visited her last week , its like she has get overed everything.  So I guess its better not to mention her , probably not when Marco is here.

   " Who did you visited ? "  Marco asked , brows up. Waiting for my answer.

  " Yeah? Did we knew that person ? "   Brandon asked , scratching the back of his head.

I shook my head. " No , she is a relative " .

   " Is she pretty?  Do you have her number bro? "  Austin asked.

   The bastard never change.
" She doesn't give her number. "

  " Just kidding. "  Austin said.

Though Avery change a lot on her physical look , but she has the same personality.  Yes , she is pretty even she's simple.  A girl contented with her jeans  is that what  I've always known her.  Her lovely blonde hair changes into red which suits her well.  But she had that the same smile , when I look in her eyes I could still view that warm personality of her  and  the pain and sadness has no longer visible  or maybe she finally learned how to hid it well.   Avery has been like a sister or a close friend to me , I admitt theres a difference between her and Claire and at first I dont get how the two of them get through well.  Claire was self concious , she cared too much on her self , she's fancy , obnoxiously fashionable while Avery is more simple and bookish.  And I met Claire because of Avery's loved in music.  She is Claire's bestfriend and so the two of us became close to each other.  Avery was careful with everything but not totally on that pumping organ on her bossom.  She admired and secretly inloved with the same man for four years , it never change even she was hurt multiple times.  One thing about Avery , she never got tired in giving chances specially to the person she love.  And though Marco was a close friend of mine , I do hate him a bit for hurting Avery.

    " So? As what I have said.  Why don't we have a reunion? With the girls? "   Brandon suggested.

  " That's nice. I haven't seen the girls for so long.  Specially Avery.  I heard she's in Nashville. "  Austin said then looked at me.  " Hey bro! You've been in Tenessee last week , havent you seen her there? "

    I took a gulp at my beer when the three of them eyed me.  " Austin , Tenessee is a huge place , even Nashville.  Tell me , how am I going to see her there? "  I said.  But thats a lie of course.

   " You have a point man.  She is plain and small and pale and.. "

" She's natural and simple "  I snap.

   "  I know.  But that girl was damn pretty and she's hot , though she doesn't revealing anything but she's really.... "

  " Austin ! "  Marco scoffed.

  " sorry Bro. "  Austin said.

I look at Marco.  I know he never been the best man for Avey but somehow , I knew he loved her.  I just dont understand why he had someone other than Avery and keeps on telling her that he doesnt love her.

    "  What about you Marco? Any news? "  Brandon asked

Marco looked away and shook his head.  " No.  And why should I?  Were done bro.  Theres no point in asking "  He said coldly.

  " Defensive much.  Besides youre right.  Maybe Avery has woke up with her stupidity.  "  Austin teased.

   Yes she does.  100 percent. Oops maybe not , but she's really fine and doing great. Really far from what she is before.  Too bad , I forgot to ask if she already had a boyfriend. Because if she had , I'll be happy for her and that man deserves her.  But too shit , Marco didnt see how much he hurt her badly , he never see how she loved him with her every torn heart ,  and the worst is he keeps on showing like he doesnt care for her even he never seen her for damn six years.

   " What if she just show up and she change a lot? "  I asked

Everyone fall into silence and stared at Marco.   I know I should've not asked buy I want to know.

   " I.. "  Marco cleared his throat.
" I'm glad for her. I will congratulate her for stepping out on her comfort zone.  And I'll be surprised if she's not boring anymore "

   " She's not boring bro. You just doesnt spent so much time with her. " I said gruffly.

  He missed a lot of time with her.  I thought he knew her well because they were schoolmates and friends. But I misunderstood him towards her.  Maybe I was wrong about him for her , I once thought they were perfect but it was just a mistake.  And Avery's decision to leaved and start again with only herself was a sign of growing up.  And seeing her again , I think I will congratulate for doing a great job on her self.
