Endless Love (trilogy to FBR and ASC)

Chapter 38

Our entire vacation was either us swimming or tanning or us arguing and talking. We needed the relaxation and family part, and to be honest the talking part too, but the talking part was mostly to make up from arguments and it sucked.

We got home and a few nights later andy was sitting on the couch watching TV after we put the kids away and he looked impatient. He was on his phone and bitting his nails and tapping his fingers against the couch when I finally asked him what was wrong with him.

"Are you waiting for a damn text or something? Jesus Christ you look like you're having withdrawals of something." I said.

"Can I go over Normans?" He asked and I nodded and he leaned over and kissed me.

"I'll be home later alright? No later than 2. I'll call you if I can't get home myself which will probably most likely happen." He smiled weakly and I cupped his cheek and brushed my thumb across his cheek.

"Have fun. You don't have to be scared to ask me simple things I don't want you to be scared to ask me questions. I trust you." I said and he nodded.

"Okay." He said as he stood up straight and he grabbed his phone and keys.

"Be careful. Text me when you get there." I said.

"Text me if anything is wrong and you need me, you understand me?" He asked and I nodded. He smiled weakly and kissed my forehead again and he walked out the door and there I was alone. Tired, but no able to sleep now because I could only sleep with him next to me. So waiting until 2am was going to be the longest four hours of my life.

I woke up the next morning and I didn't even realize I crashed. I completely crashed on the couch and I quickly grabbed my phone. I had two texts from andy and my eyes softened. He probably needed me to get him home and I wasn't awake to answer him.

"I'm at Normans." He texted at 10:30 which was when he must have gotten there.

"I love you." He texted two hours later after that around 1am and I sat up and went upstairs to see if he was in the bedroom and he wasn't. I went into the girls rooms and even Luke's and he wasn't in there. I ran back downstairs and he wasn't in the kitchen or anywhere in the house in general. It made me nervous and I texted him.

"I love you too. Where are you? Are you okay?" I asked.

I waited 20 minutes and I still didn't have an answer from him and he usually replied back to me as soon as he got it when I texted him especially. 

I decided to call him instead and I called three times and it was starting to make me panick when each time I didn't get a reply. I needed him to answer. I didn't care if he got drunk, I cared if he hurt himself and was in danger.

"Andy please call me back as soon as possible. I love you so much. I'm sorry I fell asleep last night. Please just let me know you're okay." I left on a voicemail and I hung up and texted Norman and he didn't answer either, which made me more nervous.

I called andy again and it rang for a while and he finally picked up.

"What?" He mumbled and he sounded like he was barely awake.

"Where are you?" I asked.

"Normans. I just got fucking sick and woke up stop calling me for two seconds." He mumbled.

"What?" He asked.

"What?" I asked.

"Not you." He mumbled.

"Your wife is calling Norman's phone." I heard a girl say and my heart sank.

"For fucks sake Jasmine calm down I just drank too much last night." He said.

"Who's the girl?" I asked.

"Normans girlfriend." He mumbled and I heard him get sick again.

"Listen I'll be home soon alright? I'll see you later. Stop calling and texting me, the ringtones and shit are too loud for my head right now." He said and I bit my lip.

"Okay. I'm glad you're okay. Love you, see you when you get back." I said.

"Yeah." He said and he hung up and my eyes softened. He sounded so heartless on the phone and I didn't understand why. It completely broke my heart. I didn't want him to be mad at me for caring about him.
