Best Night Ever...The Aftermath

Part 12 - Eventually

Candy's P.O.V.
I cuddled my head into his chest as he ran his fingers through my hair, kissing my forehead. I sighed and snuggled in even more, causing him to let out a low chuckle. "Why you laughing at me?" I croaked in my morning voice. "You're so damn cute when you sleep like this", he said. "Good morning beautiful", he crooned, kissing my face once again. I snuggled in again before answering, "Good morning B"......and he faded away. I turned my alarm off and sat up in bed as the last tears fell from my eyes. I lifted my t-shirt to my face wiping away my dream-filled tears and inhaled deeply. God, it still smelled like him. 'Smart move Candice' I thought, 'sleep in his fucking t-shirt', as if I wasn't already a mess. I honestly didn't expect to feel this way. I couldn't get him off of my mind. I found myself either wanting to, or crying myself to sleep, or waking up with tears in my eyes. I figured I would pout for a few, be pissed for a few more and be over it all; over him. Ha! Who the hell was I kidding? He has a hold on me, more than I ever expected. Oh well, for now, duty calls. I just wish it didn't call at the ass crack of dawn.

Bruno's P.O.V.
"Alright, take it from the top one more time", I said after I messed up the intro again. "Better yet, how about we take 5", Eric suggested. "Make it 20, I need a break", I said immediately walking outside for some fresh air. I sat on one of the benches and ran my hands through my hair. I knew my band was pissed at me for calling this pointless rehearsal. Oh well, they'll get over it, I needed something to do. Fuck! I couldn't get her out of my mind. All I could see was her face, covered in hurt because of me. All I can hear is her voice: "Go to hell Bruno, and stay the fuck out of my life". That shit hurts. But I did what she demanded. I've stayed out of her life. For five fucking days now, I've left her alone. That shit hurt too. I thought about following her, but I couldn't leave when my family and friends were all there for me. I knew there was no point in calling after she left, she wouldn't answer. She might now, but I can't even bring myself to pick up the phone. "You look sad", I heard, pulling me from my thoughts. "How can I be sad when you're here?" I said cheerfully as I scooped my nephew in my arms and sat him on my lap. I glanced in the parking lot and spotted my brother's wife juggling the baby in one arm and multiple bags in the other and ran to help her. "Which do you want me to take?" I asked before she threw my niece into my arms. "Hi", she said after taking a breath. "You good?" I laughed trying to keep my niece from removing my hat. Eric came out and greeted his family, taking the baby and escorting them inside. I returned to my seat on the bench. I had to laugh when he came back out and sat next to me. "Let me guess, it was a tossup between you and Phil to come talk me down and you loss", I said. "Kinda", he admitted. "Man I'm good, go be with your family", I said. "I would have been if you didn't call for this meaningless rehearsal. Dude you've been on one since your birthday. I know some shit went down with you and Candy but come on man", he pleaded. "Look, I said I was sorry about rehearsal, but what the hell do you want me to do?" I protested, getting frustrated. "I want you to stop being a bitch and go get your fucking girl."
