Chapter 9
CONNIE'S P.O.V
It was only a small kiss, but I knew Guy meant it with every fibre of his body. He made me feel young again, as though I was really loved and wanted, but part of me was screaming at myself for letting this happen. Have you ever seen in cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, when they have an angel personality and a devil one, well that's exactly how I felt. The angel was telling me to go for it, it may be my only chance for happiness and I had never stopped loving him, but the devil was telling me to run, run as far away from it as possible, there was only one way this was going, and that was disaster.
"Guy, please stop. We can't be together, there's too much water gone under the bridge". I stepped away from him. It looked like the devil had won.
"Why'd you do this to yourself, huh? You push everyone that ever meant something to away"? He almost whispered.
"I'm pushing you away, because it is impossible for us to be together. I live here, you live in Minnesota. We've both changed, grown apart". Now I was just grasping at straws.
"It doesn't mean we aren't meant to be". He reasoned.
"Guy, tell me, how many times you told the ducks how much you hated me, for breaking up with you like that"?
"Never. I never said hate. Yes, I told them that I was over you, but I never got over you, I was just putting on a brave face".
"I would love to tell you, yeah we'll give it another go, BUT I can't. I don't want to put Rach through a life where she continually see' her parents arguing. I'd prefer her to see us, just getting on".
"Bull shit Connie. You're scared of taking a chance, you always have been".
"I have not". I argued.
"Then why don't you just give us a chance".
"Because"... I began to try to fight this feeling deep down, when Rach began crying. "Do you wanna go, or shall I"? I asked.
"I will". He replied, disappearing.
Once he had gone, I let out a huge sigh. Why was I fighting this? It had only been a few days ago, that I was longing to be with him. I began thinking of possible excuses why I was doing this. I suppose, I didn't want to hurt anymore than possible, I didn't want to admit that I loved Guy and always had done.
"She's fallen back to sleep". He told me, upon entering the room once more.
"Huh, hum". I acknowledged him, but continued folding the clothes.
"Can we please talk about us, without arguing". He suggested.
"What is there to talk about Guy. There is no us anymore".
"Because you won't let there be". He told me. "What are you so scared of"?
"Ok, you wanna know why there can't ever be an us? Because I don't want OUR daughter, to be caught up in a messy break up, if things don't work out. There isn't just us anymore Guy". I didn't know where all this was coming from, but I went with the flow.
"And what makes you think we are gonna break up"? He looked at me, the look he always gave, that made my knee's melt.
"Because we always have". I began biting my nails.
"We were kids then Con's, we've both grown up a lot since then". He stepped toward me and took my hand in his own. "Please, just stop pushing me away, let me be a part of your life and Rachel's life". I felt tears enter my eyes. He leant forward again and kissed me, this time, I didn't pull away, but enjoyed the feel of it. It had been such a long time sine my lips had felt his. After heating the kiss up a little, I pulled away and wrapped my arms around his neck and held him close to me.
During the following week, I talked with Guy a lot more, and he finally managed to get me to agree, to transfer colleges to Minnesota with him and the rest of the ducks. My Grandparents were absolutely ecstatic that I had finally made up with him, though a little sad to know I would be leaving. By the end of the week, my transfer was complete and I would be starting college in 2 weeks. To be honest, I was glad to be leaving Arizona college behind, though the only person I would miss, would be Celeste, but I promised to stay in touch with her. Guy had talked to the ducks, but hadn't given anything away, as we were wanting to surprise them with my return.
Before I knew it, it was my last night, in my bed, in my room, hell in Arizona. I had just put Rach down for the night, and was just finishing the last bit of packing I had. I couldn't believe in less than a week, I had managed to pack my whole room up, and into no more than 3 suitcases. I felt a bit emotional, as I had done this, and had tears in my eyes most of the time.
"Hey, you nearly finished"? Guy asked, gently knocking on the already open door.
"Yeah". I continued squeezing things into the suitcase. "Are you sure we're doing the right thing"? I asked him as he sat down on the bed in front of me.
"I've never been more sure about anything in my life". He told me pulling me into his lap. "I love you". He whispered in my ear.
"I love you too". I whispered back.
The following morning, my Gramps and Guy, filled the car with all our luggage, before me, Guy, Rach, my Gran and Gramps climbed in a headed for the airport. I had butterflies in my stomach and felt very emotional. I was about to leave the two people who had supported me through everything, and I hated every minute of our journey there. When we got inside the airport, I stood near the gate with them all. Guy had Rachel in his arms, then without warning, our flight was called.
"I love you both so much". I leapt into both their arms. "I can't thank you enough for everything. I don't know what I'd have done without you there to see me through everything". Tears poured down my cheeks.
"Seeing you happy is thanks enough". My Gran told me.
"We're both gonna miss you to bits". I watched as they both kissed Rachel's cheeks gently.
"And we're going to miss you. But just remember, we are only a phone call or flight away". My Gramps told me. "C'mon, you better get going, before that plane leaves without you". I hugged them both one last time, before following Guy to the gate, I kept looking back every so often, feeling as though I could cry forever. As we entered the plane, Guy took my hand in his an gave it a little squeeze. I squeezed it back, trying to reassure him and myself that I was fine.
"Please fasten you seatbelts and prepare for landing". The Captain told us over the intercom.
Within minutes, the plane had landed and we were exiting the plane. We headed straight for the luggage collection where we dumped everything on a trolley and steadily walked toward the arrivals lounge. Guy had told me that the ducks would be waiting on the other side, wanting to know what had happened between us. By now, I had Rach in my arms, and was grasping Guy's hand with my own, whilst he continued to push the trolley one handed. As we rounded a corner, I could see the ducks, well the tops of Portman, Fulton, Charlie and Adam's heads over the crowd. They must have spotted Guy's head, but had yet to see me. They ran toward us, but almost stopped dead in their tracks, upon seeing me, especially when they noticed my hand gripping Guy's.
"Are you"? Julie asked, speedily. Guy nodded, and immediately we were surrounded by them. This was one welcome home greeting, I would never forget.
This really is the very end of this story I'm afraid. Hope you enjoyed it. PLEASE R&R!!!!!
