Austin thought he was just going to grab a drink with Blaine and talk about Andy, but Blaine called his friends, and they had a different plan.
"Not what I was expecting."
Vladimir patted Blaine in the back and brought him over to the table.
"Just trying to get your mind off of everything."
Blaine shook his hand and sat down.
"Drinking isn't going to fix what I did."
Austin sat in front of him, and he was contemplating on telling him or not, but the more he saw him drink his despair away, the more he felt bad for the sad bastard.
"I talked to her."
Blaine stopped mid drink, swallowed and glared at him. Blaine hated that they still spoke.
"What did she say?"
Austin didn't know if he should tell him. There could be a possibility that maybe there was nothing he could do.
"Austin!"
"Sorry, ummm... I don't know how to explain it. It's complicated and I know that a lot of what she's feeling is a result of what I had done to her in the past."
"Fuck, she's leaving."
Blaine took a shot and the guys tried to tell him it's not the same.
"Don't say that."
"Yeah, Andy loves you."
Austin looks at Angelo and Miguel then to Blaine.
"She doesn't feel safe, and she doesn't trust you."
Blaine knew, he's known in the pit of his stomach that he lost her, that she was not the same anymore and Austin just confirmed it.
The guys also knew, they knew they had messed up, but they somehow thought they could work this out.
"What else did she say?'
Austin took his own shot and sighed, looking down at the glass then up at them all.
"She's angry, hurt. She thinks that she had to protect her family because you didn't."
Austin could physically feel all of their guilt.
"It wasn't just that you lied, it's the fact that you put her and the kids in danger."
"I would never do that!"
"But you did by bringing them into your house and you should have known that!"
Austin glared at him, leaning forward with is finger in Blaine's face.
"I told you what he did to her and yet you had them there! What if they got out, ha? Then what? You think Andy could have fought them off while protecting her children?!"
"The house was surrounded, they were safe."
"No, they weren't because then Andy wouldn't have been able to get to them so easily! Blaine, she doesn't trust you anymore. What she thought was her safe place is no longer that and you took that away from her when you brought them in and lied to her about it."
Blaine could only shake his head, taking another shot as tears threatened to fall out.
"So that's it."
"I don't know, she didn't give me an answer. I told her to talk to you, but she said she couldn't."
They all sat there in silence. Blaine going through everything in his head, but he knew, he knew he had screwed up and possibly lost the love of his life.
Austin just watched him. He felt bad for him, but at the same time he did it to himself and now he had to hope he came out of it at least better than he did or better.
Andy was lying in bed, tired, but she couldn't go to bed and so she decided to go to the gym. Lately that's all she did and usually got a couple of hours of sleep, but tonight Blaine wasn't home, and she wasn't okay. After an hour, she ran up to the shower and mid shower she heard the door open and shut. Her heart started thumping against her chest and she watched the shower doorway. When she saw Blaine, she relaxed, turning around. Blaine saw the fear in her eyes, and it broke him even more. Austin was right, he made this house unsafe and now he had to fix that.
Andy was about to close the water when Blaine stops her and turns her around, looking down at her. He looked at her, he could finally see the dark circles under her eyes from the lack of sleep. The loss of weight and most importantly the sadness in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Andy was going to pull away, but Blaine didn't let her.
"Please Andy, I don't want to lose you."
She didn't know what to say to him. She loved him, but at the same time, she couldn't help the way she felt.
"Do you still love me?"
She couldn't say it and just nodded her head at him as tears ran down her face.
"Then we can fix this."
"How?"
"We'll move. Anywhere you want."
Looking up at Blaine she sighs.
"And where are we going to go? The business is here."
"I don't fucken care, anywhere."
"This isn't just about the house, it's about you lying to me. You didn't even think about what you were doing."
"I thought I was doing the right thing. I'm sorry."
"No Blaine, saying sorry isn't going to fix this. Moving isn't going to fix it."
Andy then closes the water and gets out, grabbing a towel on her way out. Blaine goes after her.
"So that's it?"
Stopping, Andy turns around and looks up at him.
"What do you want me to tell you? I don't trust you anymore! Hell, I don't even feel safe!"
"You are safe, you'll always be safe with me."
Andy shook her head.
"No Blaine, I'm safe because I did what I needed to do and I protected this family while you put us in danger."
"I was doing what I needed to too! Everything I do is for you and the kids, you are the reason I do anything now! You think I wanted to have them? I don't make the fucken rules!"
"Yet you did it!"
"I needed too!"
"No, you didn't! You have a dozen houses they could have gone too!"
"None of them had the security we had! Andy, if I thought for a second they would get out or be a harm to you or the kids, I wouldn't have put them there."
Blaine goes up to Andy and takes her into his arms, holding onto her head to make sure she looked at him. He waits a second before Andy pulls away.
"I wish I could believe you. I wish I could tell you that I trusted you, but I don't. I get it, you did what you thought was right, but you didn't think about how it would affect me. You don't have the constant scenarios going through your head about what if. What if they got out, then what? What if they get the babies, Maddy?"
"They wouldn't have gotten out; you saw how fast everyone came out."
"Yeah that's why I was able to kill them, yeah real fast."
"Now that's not fair. They trust you. You don't think the guys and I don't feel guilty for what happened. You're right, you shouldn't have had to do that, it should have been me, but it happened, they're gone."
"Are they or you just tell me they are and a month or so they're back down there?"
"Andy..."
"No Blaine! You just don't understand! I lived with fear for years until you told me he was gone! I trusted you and it turns out you knew he was alive this entire time! I could care less about her, but Carlos was my nightmare and you kept him alive!"
"I'm sorry."
Andy shook her head and went into the closet, changed into her robe and walked out of the room without another word.
******************************************************************************************
In the morning, Andy woke up to Austin shaking her awake.
"Hey, come on, get up."
Andy took a deep breath and got up from the babies bedroom floor.
"Where are the babies?"
"Downstairs, I took them down when I heard them."
"Thanks."
"I guess you guys still didn't talk?"
Andy looks at Austin.
"We did, I just didn't want to hear his excuses."
Austin nodded and brought her into his arms.
"He loves you Andy."
Andy was about to pull away from Austin when the door opens with Blaine on the other side. Blaine looks at both of them and Andy could see his eyes turn. Andy's reflex was faster than Blaine's and she stopped him.
"Don't you dare."
Blaine smirks.
"So now you're coming to his rescue?"
"Hey! Don't speak to her like that. We were just talking, and I was trying to comfort her."
"Yeah, like you know so well to do, right Andy?"
Andy glares at him as he looks down at her.
"Don't you dare turn this around on me. You should be thanking him as he's the one making sure I don't leave your ass."
"I'm sure he is."
Austin shakes his head and laughs.
"Oh something funny now?"
Blaine stepped forward and Andy pushed him back.
"Stop! What is wrong with you?! Austin was just comforting me, something you haven't even done at all!"
"Because you don't let me!"
"And why would I? I don't feel safe with you anymore!"
Blaine went to grab her, but she slapped his hand away.
"No! You don't get to touch me now! This isn't about Austin, in fact he's the one trying to help both of us. I swear Blaine instead of trying to help, you're just making me not want to marry you anymore."
Andy then shakes her head and looks at Austin.
"Sorry."
She then walks away and goes to change, but when she gets to the closet, Blaine stops her, turns her around and kisses her. He slams their closet door shut and pushes her against it as he pulls her robe off. Andy doesn't have enough time to react before his head was between her legs.
"Blaine!"
Blaine doesn't let up until she finally comes a couple of times. When he knows she's was well satisfied, he slowly kisses his way over her until he's looking down at her. Andy had been silently crying and when he looks down at her she couldn't help but love him.
"Do you want me to stop?"
Andy slightly shook her head, letting Blaine know that she still loved him.
Bending down, Blaine kisses and before he enters her, Andy stops him.
"I thought..."
Blaine doesn't let her finish and enters her. Blaine begins to move, looking down at her and thinking how much he loved her. She was everything to him and here she was hurting but giving him a second chance.
Taking Andy into his lap, he looks up at her and wipes her tears.
"I love you Chiquita, more than you'll ever know."
Andy looks up at Blaine's eyes and when she saw the tears, she knew she couldn't leave him. She was in this for life and whatever it was, they could work through it.
