Remember me?

Chapter 17: Long time no see

Amanda's POV

I decided to keep everything a secret from everyone back home to suprise them. Then I would explain to each one of them in turn. Except maybe issy and daniel.... that would be heard. God I feel like what a divorcing couple would feel like. The last few days in london were awkward. Especially with eddie sense we both knew I wouldn't be here much longer or with him in general for much longer. However unlike how we usually act when the other one is leaving, snuggling 24/7, this time we were polite and shy.

The last day eddie drove me to the airport. He didn't say much only drummed his thumbs on the stirring wheel. He looked like he wanted to cry and so did I, but somehow I kept myself focus and didn't. Eddie shook his head and plugged his phone in to the car radio and put on a song. He looked at me and then pressed play. Suddenly the opening notes of a heart full of love sung by yours truly and eddie came on. I shook my head and starting to giggle. I covered my ears for I hate hearing myself sing but eddie pride them off and we listened to our harmonizing voices until we pulled into the heathrow airport. He sighed before turning off the car, and sam, and my voices cut off.

“Well seyfried. This is where we part.”

I nodded. We slowly got out of the car and he set my suitcase on the floor.

I didn't know how to feel or what to say but inside I knew my heart was burning from sadness and dispare. The man I loved I may not see again for a very very long time.

I walked closer to eddie and took his hands in mine.

“Look ed, you are one of the closest people to me and I know we will see each other again sometime. So I want this to be a see you later. And I want to thank you most of all for being a best friend, a brother, and a beautiful loving Marius, and person. You have no idea how amazing you are, and that hannah of yours is a lucky girl.” I almost started to cry and I let my eyes well up. Eddie furled his forehead and pulled me into a hug as he took a huge gulp.

“I will always be here mandy, and I want you to know that I love you and you and alistair will have the best time together. He'll be with you soon. Meanwhile take care.” he whispered into my ear and then kissed my cheek. I gave one final nod and entered the airport without a look back. My heart dropped and my eyes blurred over. Somehow I got myself on that plane and withen 9 hours was back in LA.

I got to LA before dinner time and ordered a urber to take me home. As the car pulled up to the usual white house, I sighed. Home again at last.... I had only been gone for a little while but after so much had happened it felt like eternity.

I got out and walked up to the front door. I took a deep breath and opened the door. Aaron was straight in front of it and his jaw dropped. I laughed and wrapped my arms around him. I forgot how much I missed him.

“She did come back for me! I was waiting for you mandy!” he said laughing.

“Shut up Tveit! I know you're with Sammy!”

“Who is it aaron?” hugh called.

“Come see for yourself!”suddenly hugh emerged and took me out of aaron's arms and into his. Ah yes, daddy.

“Hi papa!”

“There's my gorgeous daughter! Honey, why are you here?!”

“Uhh... it is a long story....eddie and got in a fight then we made up but then I decided it would be best if I came home. Then I reconnected with alistair and in a few weeks the two of us are going to move to NYC together. That is the short version!”

“What?! Alistair?!”

“Yep! Little barricade boy scored this kid!” I said pointing at myself.

“I mean you did like each other way back when. Wow! Well I mean are you ok?”

“Yeah, sure. um... is sam or anne here?”

“Yeah everyone is in the living room.”

I wandered in and was attackd with hugs by everyone.

“You were missed.”

“Thanks!”

“Why are you back?” issy asked.

“Uhh, various reasons. Number one being I missed you!”

she laughed and I sat down with her next to me.

I mouthed to anne and sam and russell that I would fill them in later and spent the day trying my best to clear my brain. Issy and daniel bagged me to take them to a movie and I obliged.

Anne's POV

after the kids and amanda left, hugh explained to us why she came back. Russell sighed.

“I knew it. One day it would pop.”

“I TOLD EDDIE THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AND NOT TO HURT HER IN ANY WAY!” sam yelled. Aaron hushed her.

“Well he didn't hurt her. They just realized they were playing to many games and had to stop.”

I sat quietly and just thought about amanda and eddie not being together and it didn't make sense.

I decided I would call eddie tonight. Things had to be said and done.

Soon they got back from the movies and I got amanda in a room alone.

“Sweetheart hugh filled me in and I am so so sorry.”

“Why is everyone telling me their sorry?! Like it is no one's fault neither mine or eddie's, we both agreed and if anything I hurt him more sense I said I needed to leave. If anything feel bad for eddie but also we are old enough now not feel all sad and moopy. I am sure we will still talk just live a little more separatly now.” she finished with a deep breath. I nodded and took her hand and squeezed it. Well I am here just so you know.

“Thanks anne.”
