Thank you for the reviews. I appreciate them! :)
Chapter 12
Chuck placed the note he has written a couple of minutes ago beside Sarah, so she'll notice it right away. He went for a drive then he texted the two people he trusts that could help him clear his mind. He parked the Nerd Herder in front of the café where Serena used to work, and there he met up with Morgan and Ellie. They were seated beside each other in the table beside the door.
"Hey what's up little brother?" Ellie asked.
"Yeah, Chuck, what's up?" Morgan questioned with concerned. It is unusual that Chuck wants to meet up with Ellie and Morgan at the same time.
"Hey guys, thanks for coming." He greeted her sister and his best friend as he sits down in front of them. "Uhh, I'll go straight to the point, I am really confused right now, and I need your help... I know, I've been really out of my system lately, I've been a real mess for the last few weeks…"
"Chuck, you're rambling." Ellie noticed.
"Oh, yeah, I slept with Sarah last night." He finally said it. He was unsure on how Ellie and Morgan would react. To his surprise they weren't mad. They were actually grinning at him.
"That's great Chuck!" Morgan first spoke. "Finally, you guys are together!"
Ellie squirm in excitement. "I am so happy for you, for the both of you!"
"Wait, wait, wait! You guys are not mad or anything?" Chuck was confused and surprised by their reaction.
"Why are we going to be mad? We knew all along that you guys are right for each other. You are both in love. And we know Serena would be happy that you're actually moving forward." Ellie explained and Morgan just nodded.
"Oh.. okay.." Chuck looked down. He doesn't know what to feel. Should he be happy or should he be guilty?
Ellie and Morgan looked at each other when they noticed Chuck's reaction. They knew there was something wrong.
"Hey, buddy, what's wrong?" Morgan asked.
"It's just, I don't know what to feel. I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing and I'm not sure what happens next…" Chuck explained still looking down.
Ellie took a sip of her coffee and then started to talk. "We know you've been through a lot, and we understand that you're confused because your wife just died 6 weeks ago, but Chuck, you deserve to be happy."
"I don't know. I'm not sure how to be happy again." Chuck replied.
"Buddy, don't you love Sarah anymore?" Morgan asked.
"Of course, I love Sarah. It's just, I'm not sure if my love for her is enough. I've been broken, and I'm not sure if I can still be fixed. I want the best for her, I'm not sure if I can love her the way I did three years ago, and I don't want her to see me like this. Broken. Hurt. I love her too much that I don't want her to see me messed up." Chuck answered and tears started to fall on his cheeks. He loved Sarah, but he was too broken to love her.
Ellie stood up and went beside Chuck to hug him. She patted the back of his brother then she started comforting him. "Hey, hey, don't cry little bro. It's going to be alright. I've talked to Sarah, and I know that she loves you for who you are no matter what you've been through… "
"Ellie's right buddy, plus, you're a smart guy, you'll learn how to fix yourself, so that you, Sarah and Chase could be a happy family."
Chuck pulled himself away from Ellie and looked at his best friend and sister. "What if I can't fix myself?" he asked.
"Chuck, look at me…" Ellie commanded his brother and he followed. "People break their hearts, but it is meant to be fixed, because each one of us has the right to love over and over again until our last breath, especially when you find the one.." She paused and then continued.. "Sarah is special. I know it. You know it. If she's the one, then you don't stop. You don't quit. You are a Bartowski, Chuck, Start acting like one!" She said with conviction.
Chuck flashed a small smile to his sister "Thanks. But I don't know how."
"Buddy, like I said, you're a smart guy plus like Ellie just said, you're a Bartowski… you'll figure things out." Morgan tapped Chuck's shoulder and smiled.
They stayed there and waited for Chuck to sort things out. Morgan called the BuyMore to let Big Mike know that he and Chuck won't be coming to work, while Ellie called the hospital that she can't make it at her shift at noon. They needed to be there for Chuck. And after a few hours of thinking, eating different croissant and drinking a lot of coffee, he finally sorted things out. He talked to Ellie and Morgan about it, and they all agreed that it was a great idea. Now it was time for him to tell Sarah his decision..
