But...(Sequel to If Only) ✔

Chapter 4.

When I got home I plop down on the couch and scream into the pillow. Andrew chuckles and I hear him pause the game and sit next to me.

"What happened? Are they assholes?" He asks and I look up at him

"The president is an asshole who left a long time ago" I say

"Yeah...I know." He says and but then curses afterwards

"What do you mean you know?" I say looking at him warily

"V..." Andrew says

"Answer the question Andrew." I say and he sighs

"I know Daniel was here in London. I've known since I moved." He says and I glare at him

"So why the hell didn't you tell me?! You know that all I wanted was answers!! You could've saved me a hell lot of pain. But no. You chose to keep it from me-" I say and he cuts me off

"WELL HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU IF YOU PUSHED ME AWAY" he yells and I glare at him

"You were supposed to find a way. Cause that's what you do when you love someone. You find a way." I say and now I'm crying

"You were supposed to find a way because you can't stand the fact that I was like that. You were supposed to do all you can do so I could get better. You were supposed to tell me you knew where he was so I could get some answers." I say and he takes a step closer but I run upstairs to my room

I lock the door and slowly approach my walk in closet. Within all the clothes I had...was a box. A box I brought everywhere. It held precious items that held great memories.

I took it to my bed and removed some pictures of me and my family. I took out the cards and pictures of Matt and I. I took out more stuff that I held dear until there was one item left. An item I hid for so long.

The Promise Ring.

I stared at it and all the memories come floodin back. I lay on my bed and closed my eyes.

I sighed and video called Coby

He picked up immediately with a big smile but frowns when he sees me crying.

"V??? V are you okay???" He asks and I shake my head

"Okay." He says and that was my cue to start talking.

I told him about everything. About what happened with Daniel, with Andrew and about how I feel. He looked at me and I know what he's gonna say

"I wish I was there to hug you." He says and I sigh nodding

"Same." I say and he takes a chocolate out of his own jar. I smile and chuckle

"I think I'll finish mine." I say and he shakes his head

"Noooo don't!! Leave some for good and happy days" He says and I smile

"Yeah...you're right." I say and he starts to talk to me about his work knowing I need to get my mind off about things.

We talked all night till I felt better. That's when he told me to face these problems. To talk to them about it so that I could feel 100% better. I nodded and decided to take his advice.

So the next day when I woke up, I cooked breakfast for Andrew and I. I made his favorite breakfast then took it all upstairs to his room. He was already awake and was staring at the ceiling when I entered. When he saw me he ran towards me and was about to hug me when I held up the food

"Peace offering?" I say and he nods crying

He apologized and explained to me why he never told me where Daniel was while we were eating breakfast.

"You had to move on V. I knew that if you saw him again, you two would eventually get back together but I don't want that. V, he's hurt you so many time before and I don't ever want it to happen again." He explains

"Well...I guess you're right..." I say and I hug him

"I'm sorry. You were just trying to look out for me." I say and he shakes his head

"I'm sorry too. I know that I could've helped you by giving you answers." He said and I smile lightly

"I love you big bro" I say and he hugs me tightly

"I love you too lil sis" He says

"Sis?" He asks

"Yeah??" I answer

"Don't you have to go to the company today?" He says and I nod my head

"Good luck with Daniel. He's changed." He says and I nod my head
