For You, I Would Wait Forever

Untitled Story Part

Tobin's POV

Wednesday 11 p.m

There was about a week left of camp when it happened.  I was rooming with Heather and I decided to go to sleep for the night.  I remember I was about to fall asleep when I heard a knock at the door.  I heard Heather open it, the voice behind the door surprised me.  It was that same raspy voice I fell in love with years ago and the same one I'm still in love with today.  But, there's three problems with being in love with this person.

1. She's my best friend

2. She's straight

And the biggest problem that still breaks my heart...

3. She's married....

And her name is Alex Patricia Morgan.

She's married to the love of her life, the man who makes her so happy.  They just got married, the ceremony was so beautiful.  Of course I had to go since I am her best friend, and of course I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like with me standing up there with her, instead of him.  I imagine everyday what it would be like to be with her.  For her to be mine.  But that's all I can do, imagine, dream, wishthat someday it could happen, even though I know it never will.

I was broken from my thoughts when I felt the bed dip, and a tall, slender figure fit into my side.  I pretended I was just waking up from the movement and looked down to see her beautiful blue eyes burning holes into mine.  She looked beautiful as ever, but there was one problem, she had been crying.  I have only ever seen her like this once before.  They weren't tears of joy like I had seen after we won the 2012 Olympics, but tears of heartbreak like I had seen after the devastating loss of the 2011 World Cup.  Somebody had broken her heart and I won't give up until I find out who.

"Hey, hey what's wrong?  What happened?"  I asked, my eyes filling with their own tears.  They were tears of worry, heartbreak, and anger.  I was so worried, heartbroken to see her like this, and angry for whoever did this will pay.

"It...It's Serv.  He...he..."  she couldn't even say it, it was so horrible.

"It's okay 'Lex, I'm here.  Just take a deep breath and tell me what happened.  I looked around the room, realizing she must have switched rooms with Heather for the night, since she was nowhere in sight.

She took a couple deep breaths before explaining, "Servando, he cheated on me." she said, trying to keep from crying again.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I mean, they literally just got married less than a month ago!  They looked so happy, he looked at her like she was everything to him!  How could he do something like this to her!  I felt my fists clench the sheets as I gritted my teeth.

"Tobin?  Are you okay?" she asked.

"Are you okay Alex?  I mean you are the one who got cheated on."

"I'll be fine.  I just needed someone to help me through this and figure out what to do next.  I just need you Tobin."

"I'm here 'Lex, I'll always be right here."  I pulled her closer to me.

"He said he was drunk.  He was drunk and she took advantage of him.  He said he never meant to hurt me and that he loves me so much.  He doesn't want to lose me."

"And you believe that?"

"Well, in some ways yes.  I know he would never intentionally hurt me like that."

"So you're just gonna take him back?  Just like that, pretend it never happened?"

"What else can I do Tobin?!  I love him, he's my husband!" she yelled.
