What If We Changed?
Floods
Onyx's Point of View
"Andy? What are you doing here?" I asked, probably staring in disbelief.
"I still live here, haven't moved on and might not." He answered.
Callie came walking back holding a bottle of orange juice and a small pot of fruit salad.
"Callie come here sweetie, I have someone for you to meet." I said crouching down to her level. She took my hand and I lead her towards Andy.
"Callie, meet Andy, an old-school friend." She smiled sweetly and nodded.
"Hi there Callie, nice to meet you." Andy looked down amazed at the child, the size of an ant to him.
"How old is she?" he asked.
"Four. I had her after I left college with a guy, I was supposed to get married to."
"What happened?" Andy asked walking with us.
"He found out about me being pregnant and left me." I said looking down.
"But it was for the best really, as I now know I never really loved him." I continued.
"Oh" Was all he said.
I tried to resit the urge to ask about Jinxx, as I know I still love him, but I guess he's moved on.
But I could resit no longer.
"How's Jinxx? He found anyone yet?" I asked looking down slightly.
"He's great, doing well for himself. Yeah he found someone, got married to her, Sammi is such a lovely woman, you should meet her maybe." He replied. I felt my heart drop and break into millions of pieces.
"Oh, say congratulations" Was all I could say. What else could I say. It still hurt to hear his name, as I never wanted to leave him in the first place. I turned and left tears already welling up in my eyes.
"Come on baby we need to get home." I said to Callie leaving the shop.
Once we got home Cal was tired so I took her to bed, it had been a long day so it didn't surprise me. As soon as I knew she was asleep I went into my own room and started to sob which soon turned into bawling. It hurt me to know that Jinxx had moved on so easily and I still didn't know if I could.
I don't know how long I was crying for before I heard the door open and close with a slight excited slam. I just carried on crying my eyes out. Why did it hurt so much?
