"Allison, please don't touch that." Austin called out as my hand was about to touch a yellow envelope. Surprised, I swirled around. His blonde hair was wet, and he had towel hung around his neck.

"I thought you were in the shower," I stammered.

"Showers get over Alls. But seriously you don't have a right to touch my things."

"I''m really sorry." I said.

He smiled mischievously. "Only if you might that tomato and cheese pasta I used love, I'll forgive you."

"Deal, but you have to clean up after," I countered.

"Deal." He said.

I went outside, but curiousity got the best of me and I peeked in from outside. Austin took the yellow folder and stuffed between his Marino high hoodie and I made a mental note to read it so I would know what he was hiding. Then, I went into the sparking, clean kitchen and put some water to boil.

It was 11 P.M. and Austin was fast asleep. My head was on his chest, and his arms around my waist. To all you dirty minded people out there, we didn't do anything like that. Austin hadn't even hinted towards anything probably because he remembered how against sex before marriage I was in high school, or he didn't want me running away again. 

Probably the latter.

I knew I had to see that letter before I went to bed, but I didn't want to wake Austin either. I carefully pulled his arms away from mine and set it under a pillow. Then, I tiptoed to his tidy closet. 

I pulled out his hoodie, and took out the letter. I tiptoed to the living room so I could carefully read it.

I tore it open and to my surprise it was a printed email from Elliot. 

Dear Austin,

I don't know if you know this or not, but three years ago Ally and I got married. It would be an understatement to say it was the best day of my life. She's kind, funny, amazing and I love her and she me. But I know this, you don't know that I'm dying. Yesterday, when I told Allison she cried so much. I promised I would never let her cry. I can't let her be so upset and miserable. I asked her yesterday, if she would re-marry or re-date and she said no, she told me that our memories would be enough. But she's pregnant, and in general, everyone needs love. So I'm arranging for our memories to be destroyed, I'm going to arrange for someone to tell her I was cheating on her and provide subsequent proof. Now, the thing is, she isn't going to date or even marry anyone. She told me about you though, and I know in her heart she still has feelings for you. About the cheating on you part, you know she wouldn't do that. Although, I think you're kind  of dumb for doubting my perfect Ally, she's told me how kind and loving you were. When, she's upset she always goes to pier 96 so wait their about a 1/2 an hour before I send Cassidy. And don't tell Ally this, until you guys are both old. i don't wan't her to die thinking that I cheated on her, but I know if she saw this she might not move on. 

Get back to me, 

Ellot.

I stifled a scream and guilt flowed through me. I sunk to the floor and let my mind finally wander to Ellot. I was not  running from Austin at all. I was running from the memories of Elliot and I. Even though, he cheated on me I thought I was breaking my promise to him. BU

Because I loved him. God, I loved him. Austin was my first love, and I loved him more than anything. But Elliot was my husband, the person who cared about me.

He loved me more than he loved himself; and I wasn't ruining my love for him. Because who said you can't love two people.

I could; and I will.
