4. Phone Call

"Only wish I knew where my brother was. Probably in some sort of trouble," I remembered Daryl saying.

I continue to think about his words as I laid there in his arms. Everything about this moment was perfect. A big soft bed with my beautiful boyfriend. Still Daryl had given me so much and I wanted to do something for him in return.

Was it even possible that I could find Merle for him? I mean if Daryl hadn't found him by now, maybe Merle did not want to be found. Still if I was separated from my sister Maggie I want to know where she was. Merle, would to I decided. But where would I start looking for Merle?

I closed my eyes, deciding I would think about it later when I notice my cellphone was ringing from my purse. I got up from the bed to answer the phone. I knew I have to deal with how I left things at Nashville sooner or later. At least to Andrea, if no one else.

"Beth?" Andrea said, her voice sounded worried.

"I am fine," I reassured her.

"You left at the party. Never said goodbye. I thought maybe you hated me," Andrea's voice was shaking.

"Why would I hate you?" I asked confused.

"Because of Philip. I know how much you loved him. I saw it that day at the mall. He asked me out then. I said no because I knew you were already into him. Trust me, I would never try to steal your boyfriend," her voice was getting higher.

"I know Andrea. Philip just wanted to sleep with us both. You can't help he came on to you. He's an asshole," I said breathing in to the phone.

"I am so glad you aren't mad, but where are you?"

"I moved in with Daryl," I whispered.

"Wow. Where are you?"

"Memphis, Tennessee. Perhaps you and Shane can come visit sometime. Daryl has plenty of extra rooms,"I offered.

"That sounds great," Andrea's voice sound excited suddenly. What was going on? Honestly, I figured she be worried about next month rent.

"And don't worry about rent. I'll keep paying it until you have a new roommate," I said.

"Oh that won't be necessary. Shane and I are getting married. In two months. You have to come and be a bridesmaid," Andrea said.

I did not want to go back to Nashville. Philip's blue eyes came to my mind and how he used me from day one. Still this wasn't about what I wanted. This was about Andrea and being there for her big day.

"I'd love too," I said finally. At least it would give me a change to get my things from Andrea's apartment. And give her a proper goodbye.

"Great. I'll get you the details later," Andrea said hanging up the phone. I looked through my missed calls and noticed Philip had called me about eight times. There were also text messages from him. Probably voicemails too, I thought annoyed.

I was not proud I cheated on Philip, but I was glad that Shane punched his face. He really deserved it, I thought deleting his number from my phone.

Sometime today I get a new number setup so he couldn't reach me again, I decided closing the phone.

AN:What do you think so far?
