Forget Me Not
Long Night
Andy was still holding me smiling down at me. He quickly pecked my lips once more.
“Well, I missed my plane” he smiled
“Is it because of me?” I asked
“No of course not, I was trying to get in too and started to walk away, but someone brisked passed me, I looked and was you” he smiled “You didn’t even see me, you were on a mission” he said
“Yeah well” I shrugged and leaned my head on his chest
“What would you have done if I didn’t miss my plane?” he asked me
“I would have gotten on the next flight” I said
We just stood there and he held me.
“Well…I better call my mother and tell her I’ll be staying awhile” he said
I looked up at him “You—you’re staying?” I asked
“How can I not?” he said
I held him tight.
“Plus, I want to know EVERYTHING we ever did as kids” he said “and maybe…………maybe I’ll remember something” he said
Maybe. It was better than nothing. Maybe was just a hope. I looked back up at him.
“I’m pretty sure Misty is pulling all of her hair out waiting” I said
“Ha well let’s not let her wait” he said picking up his bag
Andy took my hand and led me through the airport. He had his duffel bag slung over his other shoulder. I just kept looking at him, glimpsing at him. A smile graced his lips.
“What do you keep looking at?” he laughed as we walked
“YOU! It’s just! I can’t believe….any of this” I smiled
“What do you think our parent’s might think when they see us together romantically?” he asked
“Fuck what they think, we wouldn’t even be in this situation if they didn’t interfere” I said
“I’m just trying to think of what it would be like if they didn’t lie to us” he said
“I can’t imagine” I shook my head
We made it outside. I saw Misty’s car driving. I waved her down and she pulled up. Andy opened the back seat door and put his bag in the back and sat down. I sat in front.
“It’s about time! It’s as hot as satans nutsack out here!” Misty said
She turned to look at Andy
“Looks like she got you just in time” she smiled at him
“Yeah” Andy laughed
We heard a car horn beep behind us.
“Ahh I’m going!” Misty said waving
Misty peeled out of the airport.
“Oh by the way, while you were in there, Ben called. He got tickets real cheap to Hawaii” Misty said driving
I turned to look at Andy, he was gazing out the window.
“Yeah? For when?” I asked
“In three days” she said
“That’s why they are cheap” I rolled my eyes
“Yeah so I’ll be going with him, you’ll have the house to yourself” she wiggled her brow at me glancing at Andy in the rearview mirror, I smacked her leg “Well…wait Tate will be there” she corrected herself
I looked at her gravely
“You CAN kick him out if he’s being really that annoying” she said
“Thank you!” I said
We took Andy back to our place. I know he wants to go over to his parents house at some point. So Andy and I left for his parent’s house. They still think Andy is on a plane. So it was up to us to do that. With every fiber of my being I didn’t want to set foot there, but a heart to heart discussion needs to take place between all of us. Might as well get it over with tonight.
I pulled up front across the street from their house. I sighed and looked at Andy, he had a grave look on his face.
“They’re going to be pissed” Andy said
“Yeah well whatever” I said opening my door
Andy stepped out of the car. We walked across the street he stood very close to me. His hand slipped against mine and grasped it. I looked down then at him. He smiled slightly.
“Together” he said pulling my hand to his lips and kissed it
We walked up the sidewalk. Andy hesitantly rang the doorbell. I could hear it ring on the otherside. A moment passed and the door jiggled and opened. His mother peeked out. She noticed Andy.
“Andy?” she opened the door even more
She had the look of disgust when she saw me. Then she saw Andy holding my hand.
“So it seems….” She started “You two are
“Together?” Andy finished for her
She gulped and tried to find her words
“We need to talk. ALL OF US” Andy said
“Andy, we’ve told you everything” she said closing the door slightly
He placed his hand on it preventing her from closing it any further
“That’s not what I meant mom” he said seriously
We wanted a sincere apology. We wanted to understand why they did it. Because at this point, despite what they were aiming for, what they did was wrong and they know it.
His mom sighed “Come in” she opened the door
Andy stepped in still holding my hand. I followed close behind gripping his arm.
“CHRIS!” Andy’s mother called
I heard shuffling and saw Andy’s father at the top of the stairs. He seemed shocked at our sight.
“Oh it’s going to be a long night” he said rubbing his fore head as he walked down the stairs.
They sat us in the dining room. I sat next to Andy and his parent’s sat across from us. It was silent for a long moment before Andy’s dad cleared his throat. This is beyond uncomfortable.
“I’m assuming you two would like an apology” Andy’s dad spoke up
“Of course” Andy said in return trying to sound sincere
It was silent again. Andy’s mom was staring at the table with her hands in her lap.
“I guess…we should start when it all happened” Andy’s father spoke again
Andy nodded his head.
Andy’s dad was right. It IS going to be a long night.
“Well, I missed my plane” he smiled
