All I could say was, Yes. That was the truth; I was happy with Shane.

Aly let out a laugh, not out of happiness but of extreme sadness. A shaky breath later, Im glad for you M. I just wanted you to know that the girl that you saw me with, we just met that night and I did not leave with her. I sent her home in a cab.

I felt a sense of relief washed over me when I heard that. I dont know why it should matter but it did.

God, I wished I could get pass my anger and stuck around to talk to you that night.

Her hand brushed my cheek gently. When we were together, she has done this a thousand times, and like before, I felt my resolve weakened.

I heard that you told your parents. Im so happy for you.

She leaned in and brushed her lips against mine. It felt like a goodbye kiss, and my heart clenched at the thought of that. When the light touch of lips would have ended, I pulled her back. Crushing her lips against mine. How will I ever let the other half of me go?

*****
Yo Shane, someone is here looking for ya.

I snapped my head around, still incoherent from my short nap. What?

There is a someone here for ya.

Thanks man.

I made my way over, Hey, what can I The breath left my lungs as I left the sentence unfinished.

I didnt know how long it took me to recover but she just kept on looking at me, not really moving.

What are you doing here?

I came to speak to you. That was it. It was not a request, barely a statement.

Why should you bother now? I couldnt help with the bitterness that came out. This was not what I had planned to say when I come face to face with my mother.

Look I came here to talk, but you are definitely not up to it so I will be on my way.

***** it, I was not about to lose this opportunity. Wait, I want, no need to talk to you. Please.
