Impossible Groom

Chapter twelve

Andy's pov

I stand there in the hallway petrified. Watching the love of my life absolutely break down. Rye was in his knees pulling on his hair in pure frustration. I look at the floor around him and see the broken glass all over there floor. I wanted to wanted to speak but no words came out. Instead I just walk over numbly. Not able to cry anymore because I have already cried so much. I walk over to Rye and pick him up by his shoulders. He stands up and looks straight into my and say a sentence that absolute just my heart.
Rye: I'm tired of all the pain.... I don't wanna be here anymore Andy....' He cries and try to fall back down on the floor. But I tighten my grip on his shoulders and just look him in the eyes.
Rye: your hurting me....' He spoke out and I froze. Be wasn't crying anymore he just looked scared. I didn't realize how tightly I had a hold on him. I quickly let go and grabbed his hand before leading us out of the house and to the car.
Rye: we don't even have shoes on Andrew... Where are we going...' He asked all choked up since he was just bawling his eyes out moments ago. When we reach the car I quickly turn to him and plant a huge kiss on his lips. Not a make out kiss, but just a long one and I hold it for some time. I pull away and open the door to the passenger side of the car.
Andy: trust me....' Is all I say. He searches my eyes for a moment. They were soft but glossy from all his crying. He then nods and climbs into the car and I close his door after I make sure he is in.

Rye's pov

As Andy drives I realize where he was taking me so I lean my seat back a little and move my hand to the middle console hoping he'll take the hint. He pulled up to a stop sign and look down. He smiled a very faint smile and got the hint and grabs my hand. As he interlocks our fingers, he begins to drive once more. As he drives, I look out the window taking the night sky. The moon was out in the stars were shining bright. I felt a weird, calming sensation as I gaze into the night sky and hold tightly Andy's hand. Eventually we reach our destination and he lets go. He climbs out of the car and then walks around to my side. He opens my door and allows me to get out. I stay silent knowing he'll understand. He grabs my hand and we begin to walk. We don't say much but I just take in everything around me. I said, I didn't want to be here anymore. I said, I wanted the pain to stop. A lot of bad has happened to us. But a lot of good has happened to.
Rye: Andrew....?' I ask quietly.
Rye: Why did you bring me here?'
Andy: you always said this was your thinking spot, this is where you would go. So I brought you here......' He answered softly and looked me in the eyes. My heart warmed at this. He remembered what I said. I nod lightly then look up to meet his gentle gaze. Rye: this is also where we first said I love you.... ' he smiled and cupped my cheek with one of his hands.
Andy: yes.... Yes it is....' His smile is kind and comforting.
Andy: and it's a lot more romantic than where we said we fancy each other...' He joked a little making me chuckle a bit.
Rye: yeah.... We said that with you inside me on a restroom toilet at school our junior year... I believe...' I smiled back at him and we both laugh embarrassed.
Andy: ha.... Yeah we did....'

Hours later I feel like all my stress was lifted. We were laying on the ground looking up at the night sky. Andy was asleep on my chest because if how late it was but I didn't mind at all. In fact I comforted him as he slept by running my fingers gently across his skin when he would get jump my meaning he was having a nightmare. And running my fingers through his hair when he calmed down. I look down at my boy and frowned.
Rye: of course your drooling...' I joked to myself very quietly. I look up at the sky once more and notice it was almost sun rise. I look back at Andy and stroke his nose with my finger. His nose scrunches and I watch him slowly open his eyes.
Rye: good morning.' I say softly and he smiles gently as I kiss his forehead.
Andy: how are you feeling....? ' he asks quietly and tiredly.
Rye: better....' I reassure him and then check the time on my phone.
Rye: let get back home.... So we can actually sleep....' I suggest and he nods agreeing.

When we get home I drove so Andy could nap a little more before we both just pass out in bed. I park the car and get out. As I walk around I yawn and open Andy's door. When he gets out he pouts and raises up his arms all cute. But when I don't pick her up right away he squinted his eyes and whined like a toddler.
Andy: pllleeaasseeee....' He whined and continued to pout.
Rye: yeah ok.' I laughed a bit and picked him up. He immediately wrapped his legs around my waist and giggled like a kid. I close his car door and carry him inside to our flat.
Immediately I remember the glass on the floor that no one bothered to clean up  and I carefully made my way around it and walked us to our bedroom. Gently I put him down on the bed and I walked around to my side. As I lay down and get comfortable I notice I couldn't. I sit up and stare at the wall only to get pulled to Andy's chest. His fingers run through my hair and I listen to his calming heart beat.
Andy: get some sleep my love....' He whispers and kisses the top of my head. He always makes me feel safe and comfortable. Before I knew it I drifted off to sleep very peacefully.
