Closer
to thee Part 41:
An
old friend
--------------------
After
the ceremony:
Andy after the ceremony stayed some
more in his seat. Everyone else ran up to Prue and Piper to talk to
them. Phoebe somehow disappeared. He didn't see her anyway.
Suddenly he heard a voice from behind him
"May I help ya?"
Andy
turned around looking into Phoebe's face
"oh my god! You are
here! U... oh my god!"
"Phoebe, calm down, please... I don't
want Prue to see me"
"but... why? How? Andy... you gotta talk
to her... please"
"she's engaged... I can't face her right
now!"
"She's not engaged! She just thinks she is... he
betrays her with ever woman he can get. He even tried to get me into
something... he lies her into the face... He said, I was the one
liking him, not the other way round. Andy, please... you need to talk
to her"
"I can't, okay?"
"No! Not okay! You are the
last one to stop her from doing a great mistake"
"and you
think she'd believe me, when I come after all this time here. After
I left her! You seriously think, she'd listen to me?"
Phoebe
looked to the floor not saying anything
"I lost that right,
Pheebs. As much as I want to do it. I lost the right to do it."
On
Phoebe's face suddenly grew a small smile. Andy looked at
her
"what?"
"You called me Pheebs..."
"Yeah, so?"
"No
one called me that in ages"
she said close to whispering. Andy
smiled sympathically and got up, just to hug her tightly.
"I'm
so sorry"
he whispered, holding her real tight. He held her
like in the old times. Like a big brother would hold his little
sister. Phoebe just held him tight back and cried into him. After she
had calmed again, Andy carefully pulled away and ruffled her hair a
little, then grabbed the envelope in his coat again
"give that
to Piper and Prue. It's from my parents"
Phoebe nodded
"I
gotta go now"
"I miss you so much"
"I love you
too"
Andy told her, pecked her forehead and then left the hall
again.
