Status: It's complicated

Chapter 29: Oh damn..

Hello everyone! We are back! We left off with finding out that Liam got punched by the leader almost immediately after Liam and Anna's break up. Julie had help overcome Chandler's phobia of the swings. Shirley is currently at the bar with Liam, afraid that Anna would have another heartbreak, Alex had to push her away from the bar. Seems like it is getting interesting. Let's continue..

Alex drove her around the area as Anna looked out of the car with the window wind down, the serenity of the streets and the stunning street lights and city lights lighted up the whole place. Signboards of different colors breezed past as they lighted up the whole street as she take in the tranquility to calm her cluttered heart and mind. She continued to stay silent, focusing on how beautiful the lights are..

" Babe.. Where do you want to go?" She wanted him to take her out for a spin, and they have been driving aimlessly for about thirty to forty minutes now..

" I don't know.. But this street looks amazing.. I mean, look at this shop, it's looks interesting from the outside.. " she pointed at one particular shop, that was decorated with western cowboy theme. They really did went all out for the decoration. Cowboy hats, they even had statues of horses standing outside, their door was those wooden flip doors. It really looked like those old old west from the movie.

" Do you know that's a bar?" He looked at the shop that she pointed. She widened her eyes, shocked that it was a bar because it doesn't look like one from the exterior.

" No I didn't .. I thought it was a saloon.." She scratched her head..

" Let's stop here then.." He slot into an empty space near the sidewalk, parking his car.. Since they have nowhere else to go, why not just stop here?

" Do you want a drink?" He knows that she rarely drinks but due to the current situation she was having, maybe she wouldn't mind one.

" Yes please.." And he was right. They got down from the car and walked into the old western themed bar, looking around to find seats. His eyes widened when he saw his older brother downing down another shot with a women that looked a lot like his ex, sitting beside him and that was when Alex and Liam met eyes. Alex immediately turned his body to face Anna and blocked her view from them. Without a word, Alex grabbed her hand and headed out of the bar, not wanting her to meet them or even see them.

" Anna.. " Liam's heart nearly skipped a beat when he saw her, but as of now, he could only mumbled under her name under his breath.. Shirley thought that Liam had called her Anna again and it is pissing her off..

" I'm Shirley and you are getting drunk.." The poor girl thought Liam had addressed her with another girl's name, not knowing the fact that he just saw his brother and the love of his life.. She paid for the bills and after much struggle she managed to help him out to his car, placing him at the passenger seat .. She drove him to her apartment, stumbling to her bedroom as she placed him on her bed..

" One more.." Damn, this guy is drunk and he is actually thinking of ordering one more drink. She laid beside him, looking at him who has now fallen asleep. She smiled as she used her fingers to gently caress and trace his features.. I'm sorry.. She thought to herself. She bend down to give a peck the swollen side of his cheek.

Alex and Anna ..

" Sorry, the bar is crowded and you know I don't like crowded places.." Alex had to come up with an excuse so that they could settled down at the bar next to it without any questions. He was actually relieved that Anna didn't get a chance to meet them or else, things would get much worse. Well, the bar has people but she wouldn't consider it crowded.. Maybe Alex didn't want to get spotted? Anna decide to shrug it off because all she needed was just a drink.
