Breaking Ice

Chapter 56

Josh's POV:

After I left the restaurant I headed to Tyler's. I don't even know what's happening. Are Amelia and I even together anymore? Fuck this is so stressful. Why did I have to be such an idiot?

I pulled into the parking lot of the liquor store. Quickly I went in a picked a few bottle up before continuing my drive to Tyler's. Taking a deep breath and knocked on the door. Tyler answered the door with open arms. When would your best friend ever?

"What are you doing with this" Ty asked pointing at the multiple bottles of alcohol in my hands

"Amelia and I are taking some time to start over. I don't know how else to cope with possibly losing the only girl I've ever loved" I sighed

"Give me those. This is dangerous. Drinking when you're upset doesn't do any good." He said taking the bottles and walking out of the room

He came back with a blanket and wrapped me in it. What a guy.

"It's not like it's over forever. You guys will be back together in no time Spooky" he said hugging me

"I told her it was Sidney and she just about exploded. I don't know man."

"Only time will tell. Who knows she could be back here tomorrow wanting to get back together" he said

Just as he finished there was a knock on the door. Woah, Tyler's psychic I swear. Ty got up and unlocked the door.

"Ahme what's up" he smiled

"Hey Ty" she said hugging him "is Josh here?"

"Yeah he's in the living room" He smiled giving me the thumbs up as she turned her back to him.

"Ahme" I smiled holding on to hope "what are you doing here"

"I have something to say and Steve helped me realize it" she said taking a deep breathe, Steve has always put himself out to support us this should end well.

"We're pinning the whale tail on the donkey Josh"

"What?" I asked confused. Steve was never good at phrases

"This isn't going to work we are two different pieces now and we don't fit. It's time for us to close this chapter" she sighed

"What do you mean?" I asked even more confused. Is she really saying what I'm thinking she is?

"It's time to end this for good. Maybe one day down the line we'll meet up again and it'll be like the day at the high school but, we aren't the same people we were back then Josh. We've both changed and gone through so much. This isn't the same thing it used to be" Ahme sighed

"So this is it. Our entire life, twenty something years really! Your breaking off our marriage in Tyler's living room?"

"Where would be a better place for you Joshua? Should I make a path of rose petals to a desk with divorce papers? Is that what you want?" She yelled getting frustrated

"Jeez Amelia. What the hell has gotten you like this?"

"You Josh. You're constantly fucking with my head"

"And you don't fuck with my head? We both have our insecurities Amelia. We've had them from the start of this. Maybe everything everyone told us was right. Maybe Shane was right about me the entire time. I should have fucking listened but no you fucked with my head so much. I should have just gone back to Ohio and we wouldn't be in this mess. Staying was a mistake!" I yelled

"Fuck you Josh." She said tears pouring out of her eyes

  Just like that my anger faded, I regretted everything I just said. I didn't mean any of that. She just gets me so angry.

"Amelia I'm sorry" I said stepping closer to her

"No Josh. I don't want this to be another mistake for you" she said turning around and walking out the front door.

   I'm the biggest fuck up on the entire planet.

"Tyler where are those bottles" I asked as he came down the stairs.

"Josh it's not going to help anything" he said with a sad face

"I just need something for now." I sighed "I fucked up big time and I just really don't want to feel anything right now"

"Fine" he sighed leaving the room bringing me back the bottle of Whiskey.

"Thanks" I sighed, hugging him before heading up the stairs to my new room.

   I woke up in the morning with a splitting headache and glass in my hand. Nice. I haven't had a blackout like this in years. Slowly I made it to the bathroom and pulled the glass out of my hand. Keeping pressure on my hand I walked downstairs to see Jenna cooking breakfast.

"Morning" I smiled

"Hi" she said coldly

"Is everybody mad at me?" I sighed, blood slowly filling my hand

"The first aid kit is in the hall closet" she said turning around, ignoring my question.

I got the first aid kit and started wrapping my hand. It stings so bad. Parts of last night started coming through. I'm actually the worst person on the planet. Tyler came down the hallway as I finished.

"Why is Jenna mad at me?" I asked him

"Amelia talked to her last night. Jenna came home after you passed out and Amelia was in the driveway and told her everything" he said with a sad smile

"Damn it" I sighed

"Talk to Amelia. I know you didn't mean all of that, right?" He asked

"To be honest I'm not sure" I said rubbing my neck

"Figure it out. Go see your brother. He knows you're back. The kid's like Houdini" Tyler said

   I left Tyler's and headed towards Jordan's apartment. Tyler gave my the address before I left. Jordan was always a Houdini. He could go in and out of a place without anyone noticing. Always was the first to know everything without being told. The complex he lived in looked pretty cool. I scrolled through my phone to stall a bit. I've got to stop doing this.
