Next Morning -
I wake up forgetting that I was shipped off to the Hampton’s. I stood up and looked at myself admiring my small frame, it won’t be long until I’m fat. I huffed and walked downstairs. “Goodmorning.”Ian said while sitting on the bar stool. I smiled and grabbed an apple before walking towards the back door. “Woah where are you going?” he asked eagerly. “The beach?”I said more in a questioning way. He stood up and smirked as he walked past me and out the door.
We walked along the shore line in silence for a few minutes. I thought about how great the sea breeze felt and the sand between my toes. Ian brought me back to reality by interrupting my thoughts, “How’s the baby?” he asked with a smile. “Still the size of a peanut.” I said with a small smile. I looked down ashamed I tried my hardest to forget about Drew, but Ian bringing him up made that all come crumbling down. I don’t want to think about him.
…
I walked down to the shop a few miles down the beach after Ian turned to go back to cook lunch. Why are Ian and Harry so close? Random thoughts consumed my mind. That’s much better than thinking about Drew. Damnit. I walked into the small shop and went towards the clothing. I grabbed the first swimsuit I saw and made myself around the shop I stopped in front of the baby clothes and teared up a little. It is fair to cut off all contact with Drew? He deserves to know his kid.
I called Harry to come get me because I wasn’t up for another three mile walk back up the beach. I grabbed a cute little onesie and made my way to the counter. When I walked out there Harry was. I smiled and got in the car. The drive was only minutes but it felt much longer as I grew impatient wanting to get home to finally read the note. I picked up the crumpled piece of paper in my drawer. “Tori, I’m not going to apologize there’s no point in saying something that means so little. I am sorry, but I knew what I was doing. I’m an asshole for it, and I don’t expect you to forgive me. I love you Tor, Call me when you can. -Drew” I must’ve read the note 30 times before picking up my phone, and dialing his number.
“Tori?” he said as surprised as I was.
“Yeah…” I saw awkwardly before continuing, “I want you to be in the babies life, but you gave to get your shit together I’m not playing games drew I…”
“Tori. I love you I’ve loved you since the day I met you.” he interrupts.
“You don’t hurt the people you love.” I say flatly before hanging up.
I threw my phone on my bed and walked downstairs to Ian cooking. “Is that all you do is cook?” I asked with a small giggle nudging him. I grabbed a water and walked out to the patio to call Allie. I miss her and I hope my mom will let her visit soon. I walked in the front yard after hanging up with Allie and to my surprise Drew stood at the front door with flowers and chocolate and I almost forgave him right then and there until Monika and Mari walked on the deck behind him. “Are you fucking kidding me?” I say with a scoff and turn toward that back patio again. This is bullshit. “What you think you deserve him because he knocked you up? Think again.” Monika said to me as I walked away. I turned around lunging at her “WHAT THE FUCK, YOU THINK YOU GET HIM BECAUSE YOU THROW YOUR VAGINA OUT LIKE IT’S CANDY? FUCK NO BITCH.” I scream as Drew holds me back I turn to him, and push him off of me. “Get the fuck off of me.” I say walking towards the back patio. I turn around and look at Monika before I disappear into the house “Get the fuck out of my face, and do it fucking fast.” I say flatly. Instead of going to the beach I walk into the house slamming the door behind me and making Harry jump. “Fuck this shit dude.” I say as I slam my phone onto the counter. This is so stupid.
Ian went outside to ensure that Drew and the skank left and I walked onto the back patio with Harry. We talked about what happened and sat in silence for what felt like forever. I could hear Ian talking to Drew in front, I couldn't quite make out what they were saying. I turned all my concentration to them to see if I could figure out what Ian was saying. Harry clouded my thoughts when he grabbed me and kissed me hard. "I would never treat you the way he did." he said as he walked back inside leaving me there completely in shock. What just happened? and why did I like it?
I walked inside the house moments after Harry left me sitting out there and I stood by the sing taking in everything that had happened the last couple days. Ian came in and started talking to me. Telling me everything would be okay and would mellow out. I don't think it will though. Nothin is ever okay.
