"Dude are you okay?" Alex walks into the room, my face buried in my pillow as I didn't want him to see me crying.
"I think Andie hates me now..." I cry into the pillow, my voice muffled.
"Why would she hate you, what was with all the yelling?" I look up at Alex, he's taken aback by my crying face.
"It's a long story..." I sigh, shaking my head, and sitting up.
"Well, I've got time." Alex says, sitting on my bed, and staring at me. I sigh, thinking about everything that's happened between us.
"It started in seventh grade..." I begin, telling him everything from the first kiss we had, down to the argument we had just minutes ago.
"...and then she stormed off..." I finish the story, taking a deep breath as Alex just stares at me.
"Damn dude, that's deep." He says, making me groan, and roll my eyes.
"And I wouldn't have told you if I knew you were gonna say that!"
"Listen, dude, for the last couple years that I've known you, and that I've known Andie, I've always known that there was something between you two, dude. You love her, and you need to go for it if that's what feels right to you..."
"What about Liza?"
"Liza is nice, but I don't think you guys are as into each other as much as you guys think. You guys get bored of each other easily, I don't see that with you and Andie." I nod, taking in everything that he's told me.
Suddenly, I hear frantic knocking on the hotel room door. Alex and I look at each other, confused as we both get up. I open the door, instantly getting jumped on by Andie. She clings on to me, sobbing, and crying her eyes out. I pick her up, carrying her to my room, and locking the door before putting her down.
"Pookie, what happened?" I asked, concerned, and cupping her face in my hands.
"Sam cheated on me, and I love you, and I'm sorry." She cried, hugging me again.
"He cheated on you?" I ask as she nods into my chest.
"Fuck him..." she whispers, making me laugh a little.
"Listen, Andie, I want to get over all of this, okay? All the negative stuff, I just wanna put it all behind us. Can we do that?" I say quietly, she looks up at me.
"I would love that." She nods, wrapping her arms around my shoulders as mine wrap around her waist.
I pick her up, laying her down on the bed, and letting her cuddle into me. My fingers travel up her shirt, rubbing her back up and down. I wasn't trying to make anything sexual, I was just comforting her in the way I know she likes.
"Do you think Liza would be okay with this?" She asks quietly, her voice muffled as her face was nuzzled into my chest.
"Liza doesn't have to know..."
The room is quiet for a while. The only thing to be heard is Andie's quiet sobbing of her trying to calm down.
"I wanna come with you, David..." Andie whispers, breaking the silence.
"What?" I ask, completely shocked.
"I want to move to LA with you, I'm ready to leave this place..." She looks up at me, and I could tell that she was being sincere.
"Then I'll help you."
"Really?" She asks, I nod.
"I'll stay out here a couple more days, help you pack, and then you can share my room with me, since Mason moved out." She looks up at me, unsure of what to say.
"No sex, of course...unless you wanted to." I joke. She sits up, smiling, and smacking my shoulder.
"Shut up, David." She laughs.
"Yeah, whatever. Wanna take a nap?" I look at her as she laughs, nodding.
"You know me so well."
