Revisiting The Past
Fuck...shit...shit, she hates me!
I fucked up.
I enter the house realizing that I've lost Sam. It's not the slap that hurt me, but her reaction when she saw me. Having her violently reject me hurts more than when we said goodbye at the airport. After showering and getting dressed, I go to the hospital. When I arrive, Dad's awake and Mom is sitting beside him looking through a magazine.
"How'd you sleep, baby?" Mom asks me.
"Like a log, Mom. The jet lag left me so worn out, that I fell asleep on the sofa."
"Did you see Samantha?"
I don't want to talk about that, so I pretend I don't hear her, and ask Dad how he's feeling.
"I'm doing better, Paul. I'm alive and breathing, and in time, I'll be up and around. Now, don't ignore your mother and answer her question."
"Yes. This morning at the house," I say sullenly, while rubbing the side of my face. Recalling her tear-filled eyes, breaks my heart all over again.
"It didn't go well?"
"No. Not at all, Mom. I think she hates me."
"I'm...sorry, Paul! I'm afraid it's my fault. I asked her to check on the house, hoping to get you guys talking," Mom says.
With his good hand, Dad grabs mine and says, "Paul, give her time. She's probably shocked and overwhelmed at seeing you. She loves you. Even if she doesn't show it."
"I'm not so sure, Dad."
There are questions bothering me. My parents have made odd remarks about Sam and my relationship. I need to confirm what they suspect, or know.
"Can I ask you guys something? When did you suspect, or know, how I feel about Samantha, or how she loves me? And why aren't you upset?"
Glancing at each other, Dad nods and then Mom responds, "Baby, there wasn't a specific moment. It was a bunch of things. When Sam began dating, we noticed your brooding and jealousy. When we had Ryan over for Thanksgiving, you cried after excusing yourself. Then there's the fact that you never dated, and wanted to be with Sam all the time. I think the kicker was on your eighteenth birthday. Before that, you guys always hung out, but then something happened and she began avoiding you. Finally, there's the day you left. It broke her heart that you weren't around. We've watched her sabotage each and every one of her relationships. On her birthdays, she cried and moped for days after getting your cards and flowers. Do you know she carries a picture of you in the locket you bought for her? She never takes it off."
Listening to Mom makes my heart heavy and I can't hold back my emotions.
"You guys have no idea how hard it was to leave her! But I don't get it. I thought you guys would be upset with me. I don't understand."
"Paul, you and Sam are only siblings because I married your dad. Under different circumstances, the two of you could have met and fallen in love without any hindrances. So, why should we deny you that chance?"
Mom moves to where I'm sitting to comfort me. I lay my head on her shoulder as she wraps her arms around me. At that moment, I realize how much our parents love us, and I love them.
"Does she know that you guys know?" I ask.
"No...I don't think so...we've never talked about it. We figured you guys would work it out. She puts on a brave face, but we see the sadness every time your name is mentioned," Mom says.
Needing to deflect the emotional turmoil of this conversation, I take a deep breath, compose myself, and ask Dad about his recovery.
"The doctors say I'll be good as new in nine to twelve months. With your mom's help, maybe sooner."
"That's good to hear, Dad." It's late. I'm tired and hungry. I stand to leave before telling them goodbye.
Dad grasps my hand, "Paul, don't give up on Sam. She does love you. Try and work things out."
"I hope your right, Dad, because I still love her!"
I reflect on our conversation as I drive back to my parents' house. The turmoil in my heart makes me ill. Mom and Dad know and accept my love for Sam, but she wants nothing to do with me.
Maybe I should just give up this whole dream. Yeah, sure, Mom and Dad say that Sam loves me, but her actions contradict that. Things aren't this complicated with Aimee...maybe...just maybe, I should give up on Sam, and give Aimee and me a chance. I can't deny that we're good together...she loves me and I love her...fuck!
Sam
Today has been emotional for me. This morning, Mom called and asked me to check on the house. When I got there, there was a car in the driveway. I thought it was a neighbor. Inside, the place looked used. Even though Mom's renting a place close to the hospital, she still comes around, so I figured she just didn't have time to straighten up before she went back to the hospital.
As I was locking the door to leave, someone came up the driveway breathing heavily. Turning around, there's a guy bent over, with his hands on his hips, dripping in sweat. When he looks up, I'm stunned. My breath escapes me and my knees get weak. The first thing I notice is his tanned and stubbled face. Then I see his eyes.
It was Paul. Emotions overtook me and I began crying. He said something as I marched toward him, but I didn't hear his words because of my anger. He abandoned me. I slapped him as hard as I could and then ran off.
Once I got home, I had to compose myself. I felt awful for slapping my brother. When I eventually calmed down, conflicting feelings of anger, relief, and happiness overwhelmed me.
As I contemplate Paul being home, I'm determined to get answers or at least a good reason for hurting me. I decide to make him tell me why he ghosted me. Depending on his answer, I may or may not apologize for slapping him. I probably won't. He needs to know how much pain he caused and everything he put me through.
I call the hospital to see if he is there, but Mom tells me he already left. Knowing that he doesn't have anywhere else to go, I grab my keys and head to the house.
