We meet Again

WHAT HAPPENED(PART TWO)

"Did anything happen between you and Ryan,' I had to ask and if that was the case and then, something happened. There was no way she would look so heartbroken, because of someone else. Shawna, I know will come barging in and making all types of noise and even cursing the person and ranting all day, until she feels better and with Ryan by her side. I tried asking her to explain what happened, but she kept sobbing and sobbing. If she tries to talk, she will keep quiet and continue sobbing. I consoled her for almost an hour, I noticed she had fallen asleep on my shoulder. I carried her in bridal style and laid her down on the bed and covered her up with a blanket too.

I took my phone from the nightstand and dialled Ryan's number, it rang a couple of times before he answered.

He finally answered.

"What's up, Ryan. Can we meet..."

"No need for that, I'm already at your doorstep.' When I heard that, my Jaw almost dropped and it was pretty surprising. That was fast, so fast.

I hung up my phone and went close to my door and opened it. He was more mature than the last time I saw him and he looked pretty good.

"Welcome,' I said and he smiled and hugged me and so did I.

I directed him to my sitting room as we both laughed and sat down on both sofas.

"How are you doing, it's been a long time?'' I said as I chuckled.

"Yeah, it's been a long time and I know, I should have come to see you, but I've been so f*****g busy lately and..." He sighed and looked around the place and looked back at me. "Did Shawna come to see you,' he worriedly asked.

'Umm...listen...No, that wasn't what I wanted to say to you, Ryan.' I quickly corrected it. "Yes, she's here and she's sleeping in one of my rooms pretty exhausted. What happened between you guys Ryan,' I shrugged my shoulders, as I asked.

"Really?'

"Yes, she's here. She came to see me all crying and all. What happened?'

"Can we go somewhere else, I don't want to wake her up because she hears my voice and comes all out and..."

"Don't worry, we can talk here. She wouldn't hear us, trust me.' I assured him.

He sighed. "Ocean, it's not easy to explain...and I don't even know what to say to you or how to even begin all this,' he looked so worried and covered his face with both hands. "I feel so bad, believe me. I love Shawna and I do, I wish she hadn't found out and it would have been better to have broken up with her. That would have been better for both of us,' he said. I noticed him, cleaning the tears away from his eyes, with his hand.

Ok, I don't know what is going on here and why are these two so worried, as if the world had ended, hope doesn't exist anymore and this was making me more curious and wondering if there was anything I could do about it. Now, the question is, how can you help someone when you don't know the cause of it.

"I didn't mean to hurt her, believe me, Ocean. I need your help, can you help me talk to her and at least beg her and let her understand. Please?' He pleaded and looked down at his feet.

"Come on, Ryan. I've been asking for the thousandth time to tell me what happened. I can't do that if I don't know what's happening. How can I help you, when I don't know what is happening,' I asked. Could this issue be so serious that they can't put it into words? What were they hiding?

"Okay, okay, but please don't hate me. I just wanted to try...try new things and see..."

"Spill it, Ryan. I wouldn't hate you or anything. Did you kill someone,'

"Huh. Hell, no..."

Then, I interrupted him. "Then, talk. If I don't know what is going on with you or what happened between you and Shawna. How am I supposed to know how to help you? `` I said. He looked so worried and pale in the face. He covered his face with both of his hands and wiped his face several times. He was also sweating profusely. Even the setting wasn't even hot and it seemed like he was finding it difficult to say something and then, he seemed like he gave up and threw a long sigh and gave a little chuckle.

But, he still seemed worried. "I...I've been having an affair and..."

I knew it, that must have made Shawna so heartbroken and devastated. If you can't handle something, then don't start it in the first place. Because that same thing, you didn't want to finish will come and f*****g bite you in the ass and that won't be nice at all. Why do partners cheat these days? Just make it simple, if you are not satisfied or you've lost the spark, just break up with your partner or something, rather than going through the stress of doing hide and seek, and getting caught. Which is so embarrassing and kind of disgusting.

What is wrong with people these days, why will you be having an affair with someone. Don't they have self-control or is it self-esteem? What was it called again?

'An affair,' I asked calmly and relaxed my mind. This must be the reason, Shawna felt like she had lost everything.

"Yes,' he answered.

"So,' I said, "how did it start? What happened and who was this lady that made you forget Shawna for a minute.' I asked.

"She...um...she ..."He couldn't look me in the eyes and kept sweating profusely. This is more than just an affair, this is serious. Why is behaving like he killed someone?

"Ryan, is there anything else that you are not telling me?'
