The Reunion

Liquor And Love Lost

Needless to say I didn’t go home that night. I told Andy that I was staying over at Oli’s house for the night because I just couldn’t move I was so upset. He asked me if I wanted him to come and get me. I said no because I knew if I did say yes I would tell him about what happened that day and I just didn’t want him to find out about everything. Andy is an amazing guy he completely understood and told me he would see me tomorrow. He also said he hoped I was feeling better soon and he loved me. I felt a little better just talking to him.

Oliver was awesome at making me feel better. After we arrived at his house and I called Andy from the car Oli took me to his room and laid me down so that I could take a nap. About an hour after I went to sleep I woke up to yelling down stairs. It sounded like Katie yelling at her brother. I got up and went down stairs still fully clothed except my shoes and socks. I rounded the corner to see Katie doing exactly what I thought see was doing yelling at Oli. All he did was sit there and listen to her until he saw me and his face lite up. Katie of course noticed and turned around.

“Selene, what are you doing here? Does Andy know you are here with my brother?” Katie asked me looking really worried.

“Yes Katie, Andy knows I am here. I am just here to calm myself down. I can’t risk going home to Andy and telling him about what happened today. He won’t let me see anyone that was there that told me they didn’t approve of us getting married or Jaime for declaring his love for me by telling me he can’t stop thinking about me and that he and Kaylie got a divorce because of me.” I just couldn’t hold it in any longer I fell to the floor and starting crying again.

Katie knew this had gone a little bit too far so she said her goodbyes and left. Oliver came over and picked me up and put me on the couch to watch a movie with him. When he was done putting the movie in and made our popcorn he laid down right behind me and put his arm around my waist. He didn’t have to say a word to me to make me feel better. Everyone thought I wanted to hear all their compassion but the truth was I just wanted someone to show me and Oli always did. I always felt safe and cared for in his arms just like I do now with Andy. I have always wondered ever since I got to know Andy I have felt like maybe just maybe we really did fit together well. Lately we haven’t been the same way. With everyone being under everything wanting to know our business and I just feel like he and I are growing apart and I hate that feeling.

Oli was the one person I could always count on. Even when we were kids, I had my brother yes but Oli was the only one I could tell everything to. He was the first one to know that I had seen my dad for the first time when I was 14. He knew everything about me. I wondered back when I was a kid if it was Oli that I would end up getting married to. If life keeps working the way it is he might be. I love Andy with all my heart I do but there are things I just can’t explain when he and I are together. I know he feels the same but he just won’t say anything to me about it. I knew the next day I would have to talk to him about this. I just don’t want us to get married and then get a divorce a few years later like Jaime and Kaylie. Communication is key just have to use that key to my advantage. For now I am going to lay here with Oli, after about twenty minutes I fell asleep on his chest.

I woke up at 9:00 the next morning thinking about talking to Andy when I got a phone call. It was Andy so naturally I answered the phone.

“Hey babe, what’s up?” I said yawning.

“Hey not much really but I want to talk to you about something so can you and I meet up for breakfast at Denny’s.” Andy said sounding worried ask he was wondering.

“Umm yeah give me about an hour or so. I need to take a shower and get ready I will call you when I walk out the door ok.” I said trying not to sound just as worried as he did. He noticed of course.
