CHAPTER 2 - That Awkward Moment

CHAPTER 2 - That Awkward Moment

After what had happened in Fiji, Allie hopped the plane to New York, packed some of her stuff then jetted off to India.

 While U-haul did the work for her and got all of her stuff from Chase's apartment she was in India learning different types of Indian cuisine. She spent two weeks in India and dove in to the culture and way of living.

 But all means has to come to an end. After two weeks she returned to the United States of America and began to look for a place on the East Coast.

She still wanted to live in New York but not see the love of her life, so she decided to go to one of her former flame's house. Allie rings the doorbell and someone opens it. "What're you doing here?" He asked. "I don't have a place to stay, I don't know what to do I just broke up with Chase." She said and starts crying.

 Drew hugs her and invites her inside. "What happened?" He asks as she lets her settle in his couch. "I-I broke up with Chase." She sobs. "Why?" He asked and offered her water. "His friend told me that I was leeching off of Chase's money and that I don't fit in their world, I'm not good enough for him and can't be the girl Chase ends up with." She said with a heavy heart. "That's just mean." Drew said and puts his arms around her. "I'm so sorry, Allie. I know you really loved Chase not for his money but for his heart." Drew said softly. Allie rests her head on Drew's chest, "And you know what's worse?" She said. "What?" he asked. "I didn't even tell him that I'm..."

Five months and a few weeks have passed since that day in Fiji, since the day Allie told Drew her "news". Allie stayed in Drew's home ever since, nothing blossomed between the two. They're friends who respect each other too much but there was a catch. Drew had to take care of Allie; he knew Allie still wasn't over Chase and he accepted that fact. He loves her but that's all there is to it.

"Allie! Breakfast is ready." Drew called out. Allie came down and ate breakfast with Drew. They talked about what they were doing for the day. "I'm just gonna write today." She said. "Can't wait to read all about it!" Drew said. "What about you?" She asked. "I have a lot of repairs today. But I'm free at lunch, do you wanna grab some lunch and get out of the house?" He asked. "I'll think about it." She said."Okay, be safe. I love you, Als." He said, kissed her cheek and left for work. 

They were acting like a married couple.

 That day she curled up in bed and wrote the new recipes she has learned from her past travels to the UK. Then her brother paid a visit. "Allie! Where are you?" He yelled. "I'm up here, Scott!" She yelled. Scott went up to the room and brought her cookies. "So how are you feeling?" He asked. "I'm good." She said as she eats her cookies. 

"So I told Drew we're meeting him in Central Park." He said. "That's so far. Go without me." She said. "No, get dressed lazy ass." He demanded. "C'mon I promised Drew I'd get you out of the house today. C'mon Allie, I know it's been a tough five months - Drew just wants you to go outdoors again and in your favorite spot in Central Park." He said.

 Allie gave in and took a shower, put on some clothes and they went in Scott's car going to Central Park. "You're lucky I'm such a good sister."She said. 

While in the car, "So how's the new job?" She asked. "It's alright. I've been back and forth LA and New York lately, but I don't mind because I get to work with the prettiest models in the country." He joked. "And the studio?" She asked. "Still saving some money, but a couple of months from now, I'll be able to get one." He replied.

Then Allie was silent, the car was at a stop, Scott looked at Allie, "Penny for your thoughts?" He asked. "You know who I'm thinking about, Scotty." She replied. Scott looked down, "Why'd you even do it sis? Why'd you choose to leave him?" He asked. "Too many external factors dictating our relationship." She said and he nodded and kept his mouth shut.
