Lost After Midnight

•The Meeting•

{•Unedited•}
                        ~Amor's POV~

     It's days like this when I'm happy to be at work. Reading peoples manuscripts is taking my kind off the situation I'm in. Last night tiring, leaving me exhausted today. Getting home very late, crying all day and most of the night, waking up because of Adriel, then having a very unwelcome, but great dream.
    I don't have many "wet" dreams, but when I have...damn have they been great. This one in particular, I'm not sure if it startled me or if I loved it. I've never imagined myself having a threesome, honestly the thought disgusts me, but that dream between Luz, Adriel, and I was great.
     "You've been here twenty minutes after your shift," Marthy says, making her way over to my desk. I look at the small clock I have set up to the side. My eyes widen as I see she's right. This story isn't even that good; how did I get lost in it? Was I actually sleeping and didn't realize? "You look exhausted."
    "I am," I say, getting up and fixing my desk up, so I can leave knowing I'm not leaving a mess for me to clean tomorrow.
    "Take a nap when you get home," she suggests. I've always loved Mathy. She's around my moms age and reminds me off her in a less crazy type of way. She's married to my boss, so she's always here, interrupting everyone's work with small conversations.
    "I can't. I'm going on a date," I say. This morning before Adriel and I parted ways, he asked me to go on a dinner date with him. Because the first time we were supposed to go to dinner together ended up not how it was expected to, I didn't refuse.
     "With Luz?" Hearing his name makes me feel like I'm getting punched in the stomach. I shake my head sadly. "You two broke up after all this time?"
    "Yeah, it's a complicated situation that I'll explain to you later." She sighs, uncrossing her arms.
    "Okay then. But when you two do end up getting married, you better invite me."

       Adriel holds my hand as we stand walk go an empty booth in the old diner on ten edge of town. It's cute, old fashioned themed and family owned. Little hole in the wall places are always the best.
      "You took tired," he says, taking my hand across the table. I feel some of the stress go away. "Maybe we should have done this somewhere else?" I shake my head.
    "I'm fine. As soon as I get home I will go to sleep; I don't have to go to work early tomorrow, so I'll be able to sleep in," I tell him. Maybe I should have just taken the opportunity, but I'm hungry. "So, last night, what was that all about?"
    "My PTSD," he tells me. I sigh, understanding why he acted the way he did when he woke up, acting like he didn't know where he was for a few seconds. "I mostly have it in dreams. I had a feeling it was a bad idea for us to sleep together." I give his hand a small squeeze, wanting to comfort him in anyway I can.
     "No, it's fine. I was just curious," I say. He nods, looking at the menu. The waitress comes over and we both order our food. The silence is comfortable, but I know that if one of us doesn't talk soon that will change. "How long until you have to leave again?" Great question, Amor. Great question. Great.
     "As far as I know, in two months," he says. I nod, looking down at the wooden table. "I don't know for how long." I knew we would have to have this discuss eventually if we stayed together, so the sooner the better I guess.
   "Okay," is all I say. What do you say to something like that?
    "We can work it out, I'm sure."
    ••••••••
     
      I wrap my arms around myself as Adriel and I walk out of the diner. It's now dark out and there aren't many cars on the road. I stop in my tracks, almost running into to someone. Looking up, I'm shocked to see Luz towering over me. He takes a step back, looking at me with wide eyes.
     "I'm sorry," I say shyly, not sure how to talk to him. I haven't spoken to or seen him since the day everything happened. He awkwardly glances over to the tall women next to him, who looks like could be in her mid thirties. She pretty; long red hair, light makeup, tight dress, eyes a bright blue.
    "Hey," he says. I force a smile, ignoring the pain in my chest from seeing him with someone else. Is he getting the same feeling as I am right now? "Date?" He asks, trying to sound casual.
   "Yeah," Adriel answers, looking bored and irritated.
    "This is my friend, Amor," he tells the girl next to him. She smiles at me, shaking my hand cheerfully. "We've met before," he says, eyeing Adriel. He offers his hand to shake, but Adriel just looks at him. He takes his hand away, rolling his eyes. "Asshole," he says under his breath, making my eyes widen. He never cusses.
   "What'd you say?"Adriel asks in defense. I sigh, my heart beat quickening. The sound of it pumping in my ears makes it worse. Luz's harden when he looks at him.
     "I said you don't have to be asshole," he says harshly. Adriel scuffs, looking away. "I guess that's just a regular personality trait though, huh?"
    "You don't know shit about me," he says through clenched teeth.
     "It's not a secret you're a dick. I know the shit you used to say," he stabs again. Adriel steps closer to him. Me and the girl take a step back.
     "Stop being a jealous bitch, okay?" I take deep breaths, my head starting to feel light.
     "I have nothing to be jealous of. You're gonna end up fucking up a good thing and she's gonna see whose the one who truly loves her. If you were serious about this, you wouldn't of lost her three years ago. And the fact that my little comment makes you this mad tells me you might want to get some help for those anger issues. I have some sessions open and I can help you those," Luz says sarcastically.
     "Sorry, you might not to help me since I'm not an underage, easy slut that'll let you between my legs," Adriel snaps. All my thoughts stop, my heart immediately hurting.
    "What the fuck did you just say about her?" Luz says, his voice raising. I've never seen him angry before, there's never been a reason for me to. Grabbing the hem of Adriel's shirt, he pushes him against the brick wall of the building.
     "Luz," I say, my voice a whisper from the sudden chest pain. I lower myself to the ground, holding my chest. Luz lets go of Adriel and rushes over to me.
      "Breathe," he tells me, trying to smooth me. I shake my head, getting dizzy. Pain suddenly shouts from my upper abdomen. "Call 9-1-1," he tells the girl he came here with. She nods. I don't know what happens next because the pain gets worse and my hearts tat to shut.

   AN: I don't know what the hell his chapter is, it's all over the place 😂 Luz has a protective, fighting side to him too 😍 He was right, Adriel still does have problems with that anger 👀 I really hope you guys enjoyed!
    Question: What do you think happened to Amor? How do you feel about what happened?
