Chapter 5
Forgive & Forget?
Tom's POV
It's been days and I haven't been able to look at Dougie or Indie yet.
The last time I saw Indie we were cancelling our wedding. She looked so miserable. I just wanted to hug her and tell her "everything will sort itself out!" But shouldn't I be the one receiving the comfort and not giving it?
I don't want to let her go, but what else can I do, she's having one of my best friend's triplets?!
After hours of walking and trying to clear my head, I decided to go back to my room for some rest.
Walking down the long corridor to my room my mind was somewhere else. When without warning I walked right into a woman. "Oh God. I'm sorry…Indie?"
"Can we talk? Please?" Indie asked me, with a mixture of sadness and fatigue in her eyes. I couldn't help but say yes.
We entered my room in an awkward silence.
Indie finally said; "Tom, what are we going to do? We can't go on like this!"
All I could say was; "I know." But I don't think that was the answer she was hoping for. I mean, how was I supposed to know? The love of my life was having one of my best friend's triplets and I find this out two days before our wedding.
All day long I was contemplating whether to leave or not-to do my best to stay away from Indie and try to keep the band together. But who was I kidding? I knew deep down inside that I don't have the strength to stay away from her.
I looked at the situation from so many different angles and kept coming to one conclusion: "Let's just be friends, for now. And as for the future, what happens…happens!"
I watched as tears of relief fell from Indies' cheeks. "Oh thank God! I thought you were going to leave. "She regained her self control and said: "Friends! Good! It's better than nothing!"
Indie walked up to me and hugged me gently. "Thank you Tom! I know that I've hurt you and if I could take it back, I would! But because I can't, I will do everything in my power to make it up to you!"
Indie gave me a friendly kiss on the cheek and left my room.
I felt overwhelmed, with relief or disappointment I wasn't sure but something deep down told me that everything is going to work itself out eventually.
I hope!
