That Was Then, This Is Now

Part 26

We got to Star late. Traffic ended up being really bad and it was far to late to go to Faiths parents house so we went straight to the inn and to bed. I woke up early the next morning to go for run. I still remember my way around, I spent a couple of christmases here back in the day. When I get back I see that Faiths sitting in the cafe next door having a coffee. I wave at her and she comes out.
"You wanna get ready then we can go see my mom and dad." She asks.
"Yeah, I'll be like 15 minutes." I say running up to shower and get changed. As the hot water sprays down on me I start thinking about Ted and Edna. Surely they hate me? As I get I ready i think of all the awful things they probably want to say to me. God, why did I agree to come.
"Tim!" I hear Faith holler from outside my door.
"Almost done." I say back as I spray some cologne. I step outside and se where waiting.
"God you took 12 years." She exaggerates.
"Faith chill. It's only 8am, I bet that no one is even awake it." I say as we walk down to my truck.
"You and I both know that the perry clan live for the mornings."

We pull into Faiths parents driveway and there are cars everywhere. She was right.
"Can you chill out. You're making me nervous." She says as I put the truck in park.
"What?" I ask confused. I mean I am shitting myself but I thought I was good at making it seem otherwise.
"You're all tense. Not tense enough for them to notice but your tense enough to stress me out." She says turning on her seat to face me. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I say to which she raises an eyebrow. I take a deep sigh, and roll my eyes.
"I know you better than anyone tim. Why are you so wound up?" She asks me.
"It's your mom and dad in there." I say shakily.
"Yeah so?" She asks.
"Well I mean, I kinda..."
"Broke my heart? Killed me inside?" She finishes.
"Yeah." I say unsure of what to say next.
"Tim, it's okay. I'm getting over it, they think I'm over it." She says half laughing.
"Well I'm not." I declare. "I'm not over it."
"Okay Tim." She says sarcastically.
"No faith, please. I'm not over it, and I don't think I ever will be. I loved you too much to ever stop. I never have and I don't think I ever will." I say. God, knows why.
"Tim..." She starts.
"I know. This is all to little to late but please Faith. I just want you to know that I never wanted to hurt you. I thought I was doing what was best for you." I say.
"You weren't." She breathes out.
"I know, I'm sorry." I say.
"Me too. All of it, me too." She says, confusing me.
"What do you-" TAP TAP. I'm started by faith brother Stephen tapping in the window.
"Hello you two."
