When The Wrong One Loves You Right 1: A New Life

Chapter 27: When The Wrong One Loves You Right

"What." I answer the phone being sure that he understands I don't really want to talk to him.

"Hey Ana, where are you?"

"I'm nowhere, why?" I say annoyed.

"Can you meet with me somewhere?"

"Why? Is something wrong?" I instantly think of Mark being hurt again.

"No nothing's wrong. I just... I wanted to apologize for my behavior last night." He sighs. "I don't know what got in to me. I was an asshole to you and I.... I'm sorry I hit you Ana. But you stormed in in front of my friends and challenged me. I didn't know how to react, I've never had a woman challenge me like that before and when you hit me it sent me over the edge. But I shouldn't have said what I did."

"Matt I'm not going to meet you anywhere. I have other plans this evening already. I just want you to understand I don't hate you."

"Yeah. I know."

"Matt, what do you want?" I whine.

"I just wanted to apologize."

I can't believe it. The Great Matt is apologizing. I really don't understand the guy. His mood swings are worse than mine. His voice has lost its usual cockiness and I feel that he is sincere.  I sigh and take a deep breath.

"Ok Matt." I say.

"Look Ana I don't expect you to automatically forgive me. I know you're angry at me but please believe when I say I feel horrible about what happened. And then I saw you leave with my brother and I just... I don't know..."

"Matt I'm sorry. Mark is my boyfriend. I need you to put aside your feelings for me and accept that. I can't be with both of you."

"Ana, I'm not jealous of my brother by any means. He is lucky to have you. I just wish it could be different sometimes and I wish you would have made your decisions differently. I'm sorry I was an ass to you Ana. I just want us to be friends."

"It's okay Matt, I hope that we can be. I don't want bad blood between us. I care about you, but I don't want to hurt your brother."

"Is Mark with you?"

"No, he is working on his bike with a friend. Since when do you care?"

"Despite what you think, he is my little brother and I love him. I'm concerned for his safety. Even if you don't want to believe it."

"What happened between you two last night after I left. You looked really depressed."

"Mark was angry that I said anything to you about the gang. He was mad about how he found us when he walked in my room. He was convinced that I was trying to hurt you. I was just trying to control the situation and I acted like an idiot. He forbid me to come near you again."

"I see your following his advice." I said sarcastically.

"Ana we are just talking."

"Yes, but initially you wanted me to come see you."

"Mark hasn't been himself lately. He says one thing today and who knows if it still stands tomorrow." Matt says frustrated.

"I worry about him. He's been so distant. He keeps going to work on his bike, but I feel like it's just so he can be alone."

"That stupid bike is part of his problem Ana. Mark will talk to you about it when he is ready to. But in the meantime, give him his space when he is away and love him when he is with you."

"Wait, now your giving me relationship advice?" I say confused.

"I know him better than you do Ana."
