Andrew's POV
"Andrew," I turn around to see Elizabeth and I hug her. "I'm sorry I ruined your sister's dinner. I'll make it up to you." I whisper then kiss the top of her head. "Don't worry about it, are you okay?" I sigh, I don't know. I thought I could control myself, but that clearly wasn't possible. I made a fool out of myself and all because of that asshole.
. . .
I sit in my bedroom replaying everything that happened tonight and I can't help but feel stupid, so stupid. It makes me angry that he doesn't see the fact that I want nothing to do with him. Every day of my life has been a torment since the death of my mother. I thought that I could finally be okay and maybe be able to forget just a little bit of how pathetic and sad my life is. Hoping I could be fine again with Elizabeth.
When I think about him, memories of my mother flood my head, if he hadn't left I could've been better, I would be better.

"I'm telling you man, it's not going to happen." I laugh. Drake has come up with the craziest idea. Things like this actually make me wonder if he's mentally stable. "You're a wimp. Admit it, you don't want to do it because you're," he crosses his arm and I shake my head. "It's not that, I just think it's stupid." He grunts in frustration for the hundredth time and I smile. "It's not that bad. We would only stay a couple of nights, two maybe."
Drake wants to go to Boston for the yearly epic. A few years back he found out about these parties that would break out during the winter. It happens every year in different cities around the US; apparently they're a big deal and this year it's in Boston.
"I don't know man, maybe. I'll think about it." He sighs, "Andrew c'mon just say yes. I know what's been happening recently with your dad in town. You'll be able to forget about what's happening here." I smile, I know he cares about me but I also know he's using my problems as an excuse. I stay quiet for a second or two until I realize he's right. "Why the hell not? I'll call Elizabeth." I say and Drake throws his hands in the air in celebration making me laugh.
. . .
"So, I wanted to ask you about something," I tell Elizabeth. "Do you want to watch the movie here or my room?" She says standing in front of me. "Here's fine." I smile and she sits on the couch with her legs over my lap. "What did you want to ask me?" She says browsing through the TV. "You know my friend Drake right?" She smiles, "Dark hair, broad shoulders?" I smile, "That's the one," She puts the control down and looks at me. "He wants to go to a party in Boston and wants me to go with him," I say resting my head back. "That sounds fun."
"I want you to come with me." I slowly say. "Oh...you do?" She grins. "You want me go?" She straddles me. "I do," I say smiling. "Why?" she wraps her arms around my neck. "I want to spend some alone time with you." I pull her closer and kiss her.
"Gross." I hear Fay say obnoxiously making gagging noises.
She's still mad about what happened at dinner, I've apologized but it makes no difference. Elizabeth retakes her seat next to me. "How are you?" I ask Fay and she glares at me. She walks to the kitchen and comes back with a drink in her hand. "Why are you still mad at me?" "I'm not." She drinks whatever is on her hand. "Okay... then why have you been glaring and ignoring me?" She sits across us and stays quiet. "Girl stuff, you know how we get." She smiles openly sarcastically, but I decide not to push it. "So little sis, mind telling me what you two have going on?" Elizabeth clears her throat and sits up. "What do you mean?"
"Well, you two are always together kissing and god knows what else. Are you a couple, a fling or a hook up?" I look away from Fay, I don't what's wrong with her. What happened the other night isn't that big of a deal. "Um, neither Fay," Elizaberh says softly and Fay chuckles. "Oh c'mon tell me. Andrew is a big boy, he can take it, right?" she arches her eyebrows and I nod. "It's, It's none of your business." Elizabeth smiles and so do I. "Touche." Fay says and leaves.

Elizabeth's POV

"So we're on for Boston right?" Andrew says eagerly, "Of course." I smile and he points to his lips. "I need a goodnight kiss." I laugh and approach him slowly. "Well, I think I could help." I reach up to his lips then kiss his cheek. "There." I smile, "What?" he says and I arch my eyebrows, "What?" I mock him and he grins. "I'll text you." He says and walks off. I close the door and walk to my bedroom. When I step in, I see Fay on my bed. "What are you doing?" She puts her phone down and looks at me. "I thought we could do some sister bonding tonight." I roll my eyes and walk past her to my closet. "Get out of my room." She pouts wryly. "That hurts right here," she looks to her heart. "Can you get out of my room? I'm tired and I want to sleep."
"Fine, but be careful with whatever it is you're doing. We don't want another Rick dilemma." She says walking to the door. "You may stop right there, stop worrying what I'm doing. Worry about yourself and your boy toy and stop blaming Andrew for Ethan dumping you." I say and looking through my closet. "Ethan didn't dump me." I turn around to face her, "Fay, I really don't care. Just leave me alone." I say with all honesty and she leaves.
I sit on my bed and sigh, I should be careful. Sooner or later the truth will be out and when it does, he will never want to see me again.

Andrew's POV
"Where's my aunt?" I ask uncle Phil who's watching TV. "She went out with your father." What is it with her and Marcus, since when are they all buddy buddy. "Where?" I sit next to him. "I don't know son, she didn't tell me." I look around and something doesn't feel right. "Did she say what time she would be back?" I ask and he shrugs. I obviously won't be getting any answers from him. So I sit back and watch the game.
Long small talk between my uncle and I goes by before he ask the inevedible, my relationship with Marcus. "Why should I uncle? He doesn't deserve it." He sighs, "Andrew he's your father." I shake my head, "Then where was he when I needed him the most, where was he when I could barely get through a day because of my mom. I needed him uncle, I really did." He stays quiet for a moment thinking what to say. "He's here now, why not give him a chance?" I slightly frown, "I don't want to and I blame him for what's happened to me since my mother died." He shakes his head. "There are things you don't know boy, things you won't be able to understand. Take the chance the world is giving you and make amends with your father. You'll regret it if you don't."

"Then I choose to be regretful."
