The next day I found myself sitting around, waiting for Ana to call me.
I wanted to know what had happened last night.
Did she break up with him, and if she did what was I going to do about it.
God, it was driving me insane, why the hell did I suddenly have these feelings after all of these years.
My phone rang and I snatched it up.
I looked at the caller I.d.
It was Ana.
"Hey" I answered.
"Hey you." she replied.
I couldn't ask about Jake, maybe I was scared of the answer.
"So how's your mom?"
"Thankgod she's home, we bought her home this morning." she sounded happy.
"I'm glad. What are you up to?" I wanted to see her.
"I'm hanging here, you should come over, we'll have lunch and whatever."
Sounded like a good idea to me.
I got changed and drove over, her dad let me in.
"She's in the sun room. " he told me.
I walked in there and Ana was sitting on the bed talking with her mom.
"Hi guy's. " I said.
Ana turned and smiled at me, I loved seeing her smile.
"Pull up a seat Matthew, Ana has some incredible news to share." her mom said, I detected sarcasm in her voice.
"Oh." I sat down.
"Mom please, I haven't decided." Ana said, she looked down at her hand and there it was.
She had on an engagement ring.
I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach.
"Oh Ana come on, let's tell everyone the exciting news." her mom sounded upset.
"He proposed?" I asked "No wait...you said yes?"
She opened her mouth to reply but I cut her off "after everything he's done to you, you said yes, jesus fucking christ Ana."
"Matt I didn't..."
I cut her off "Your unbelievable. " I stood up "Do you honestly think this is a good idea, I can't believe this."
I turned and walked out.
I heard her coming after me, I walked out the front door.
"Matt, please." she said.
"Look you can do what you want Ana but I won't support you in this, the guy is an absolute dick, so no , don't call me when it all goes to shit."
I got in my car and slammed the door.
I couldn't look at her.
I drove away and dialled Brian.
"What's up?" he answered.
"Man I need a drink."
