Chapter 36 - "Old friends"
"Are you going to answer that?" I ask Kane when his phone rings over and over in his car. It's been ringing for a while, whoever wants to get a hold of him really needs to. He's driving us to his house. I left my car at Jay's house so we he can drive us home. I was greateful when he suggested that we he drives becuase I don't think I could have driven mysel. I was so shaky and emotional a few minutes ago.
I didn't want to be in the same place as him in that moment. I hate to admit it but I was feeling like there was no way we could be close again. It was over for me. But now that we're here, I'm happy again. I miss being close to him.
"Yeah," He says and he presses the answer buttomn.
"Hey...Are you okay?" Olive says and her voice fills the entire car. I feel the sound vibrate in my chest. I feel my breath get heavy. When did they start talking to each other again? Or they never stopped. "Or are you at work? Oh, I didn't think of that," S

"Shalom, can we talk about this?" I say following her into the bathroom. She hasn't said a word to me since I ended that call with Olive. I'm freaking out. I don't know what to do or say. I want to know what she's thinking. Well, I have an idea because she was crying but..."No!" She states taking her toothbrush and toothpaste. I watch her put the toothpaste on the brush and she starts to brush her teeth without another word. Her eyes have so much pain behind them. She's never looked at me like that."No? What do you mean no?" I ask when she says nothing. She turns around bending over the sink. "We need to talk. We haven't talked about anything in a long time." I say and watch her continue to brush her teeth ignoring me.When she's done, she gets started on her skincare. Still, she says nothing to me."Are you going to pretend I'm not talking to you?" I ask looking at her in the mirror. She sighs deeply but still, she says nothing. I sta

"You look like crap," Junior's mother says when I walk into her kitchen. I sit on the bar stool on the island and sigh. She's right, the past two weeks have been a horror show. Shalom is not really talking to me. She asked for some space to think and I had to give it to her. I'm in no position to demand otherwise."Thanks" I say and she looks at me concerned. She comes to sit on the stool in front of me."Do you want to talk about it?" She asks after a beat."I don't know," I say and she frowns."You still don't talk to anyone about your struggles huh?" She says and my conversation with Shalom hits me like a train. I didn't talk to her and now we're here. The sad part is that we were waiting for me to talk to her. For a whole six months, she was patiently waiting for me to come to her and I never did, instead, I went to my ex."Did I do that when we were together?" I ask even though I know

A few hours later: Kane and Junior's mother are sitting in her living roomKane decided to stay for dinner. The thought of going home is not appealing since he's going to an empty house."Do you think she's coming tomorrow?" Junior's mother asks me for the 100th time today. And every time she asks me my heart breaks a little bit. I don't know if she's coming or not and I'm afraid to ask her.Things are different now. She's mad at me, she's not really talking to me, so I don't know. She made a promise to my son that she'd show up to his regional final soccer game months ago. This is before I decide to be an ass and make her feel left out. The game is tomorrow so we still have 24 hours to figure out what to do. I could tell Junior to not expect her to show, to avoid disappointment. But I don't know if I want to have that conversatio

It's D-day and I'm nervous. It doesn't help that I'm sitting in the sun. I feel hot, sweaty and uncomfortable. The bleachers we're sitting on are right under the scorching sun. It baffles my mind that no one thought to create shade for the spectators. It's going to be a very long 90 minutes. I fan my face trying to get the cool air into my face but that doesn't help at all. I look around at the parents sitting in the bleachers with me. The majority of them are coupled up and I wish it was the same for me. I wish Shalom was sitting next to me. I feel terrible for the way things turned out. And hate to admit it but I'm a coward. I should have called her and told her why I was distant. Make her understand that I was sad and I didn't know how to come to her and be vulnerable.I always feel like I need to be strong for her, I never want her to feel like I can't protect her.Sharing my weaker side is terrifying

"Thank you for coming today," I say to Shalom as walk into her bedroom. We had an amazing afternoon. Junior's team won as he predicted. He was more than proud of himself. He couldn't stop smiling when he saw all of us together. He ran from the field all the way into her arms.She embraced him with a huge smile on her face. I held back tears at the love she poured into my son. I don't think I've loved her more than I did at that moment.After the game, we went to a nice lunch. It felt so comfortable. Junior and Shalom talked about Anime and their favourite movies while I watched on in awe. I still can't believe how good she is with him. They talk to each other like best friends. I can't imagine how incredible she's going to be with our child.I followed her home because I didn't want the connection we had today to end. I didn't want us to go back to the murky situation we were in before she showed up at the game."I wouldn't hav

She was an incredible woman and I know she would have loved them with all her heart.

"Why did you call her?" I ask Kane and he looks up at me. He sighs and then he gets up from the floor. He sits next to me on the bed. I stay silent waiting for him to say something. "Do you miss her? Do you want her back?" I ask when he doesn't answer me. "No, no, no!" He says his voice low but firm. "I don't miss her or want her back. I called her because I needed to process stuff." He says looking at me like that one sentence cleared up everything. "What does that mean?' I ask wondering what could have happened that he can't tell me. And of course my first and only thought is that the father of my unborn child is cheating on me. "I was having a hard time and she helped deal with it." He says and I shake my head not sure I want to hear this again. "I don't get why you had to talk to her,I'm here, you have your cousin and Jay. Why did have to be your ex?" I ask feeling my heart break. What if she wants to get back with he
