A month and a half passed since the agreement to be there for each other, but Andy felt like she was holding Sam back. She knew that talking with him about it was out of question, cause she didn't want to be selfish. He's trying really hard to make everything work, to be the boyfriend Andy has always wanted, to be there for Marlo during the pregnancy and to be focused on the job.
And she feels selfish. She could make his life so much easier, leaving him to focus on his kid, giving all his love to the human being inside the other woman's stomach.
Ah yes, she also feels guilty. Guilty because she wishes every single day to wake up and be the one she's going to give him his first child.
And they haven't spent a moment alone together in a month. A long month since Marlo felt there was something wrong with the baby and called Sam at 3 o'clock in the morning. A month since Andy herself suggested that it would have been easier for Sam helping Marlo if they were under the same roof, at least until the end of the pregnancy.
And then that feeling…. She was being left behind.
And she wished every day that her life was one of those movies in which there's the ex who comes back lying about her pregnancy just to get back to her boyfriend, but in the end regrets all the plotting and tells the truth. No such luck. If there's someone who feels like the third wheel, it's her.
And after putting all these thoughts in words for Chris, who found her hidden in the locker room, and after crying her eyes out, after he told her to get a grip and take what she thought to be the best decision for everybody, she went to find Sam.
"Got a minute?"
"Hey Sam, yeah, I was looking for you"
He led her to an empty interrogation room
"Look, Andy, I know I haven't been there,and…"
"I think it's better to let you go."
"Andy"
"I want you to be happy, and I know that have a family is your biggest dream, and I feel like I'm in the way. I'm not going away, but I don't want you to feel guilty because you're not focusing on our story. You're going to be a father, and that's your number one priority. As it should be."
"I know. I'm so sorry Andy. I want, no I need you to know that I love you, so much"
"I love you too Sam".
She kissed him for the last time before leaving him alone in the room.
Consider it as a second introduction, Cause I couldn't put this part with the first chapter together. Also, I'm sorry if I'm going to lose some followers, but considering where the story stands in my mind, I'm almost sure it won't be a McSwarek.
