Chance

It’s for the Best

Eli calls, per usual considering it’s a Saturday night. I already know what he wants. I ignore the call the first time. I can’t go out. I just can’t. I have a sneaky suspicion I’ll see her and when I do, I’m not sure how I’ll respond. I hit the silence button instead of the fuck you button. At least then he won’t know that I am intentionally avoiding his call. Thirty minutes pass and my phone rings again, of course it’s Eli. I let out a sigh as I hesitate to answer.

“Hey man, what’s up?” I ask as I answer the call.

“Hey, man. What you got going on this evening? You know what time it is?”

“Yeah, I’m not so sure I’m feeling it tonight. I don’t really want to run the risk of running into Lily,” I reply with hesitation.

“Really man? They aren’t even supposed to be going out and if they decide to, I am sure she doesn’t want to see you right now, any more than you want to see her,” Eli attempts to reassure me.

“Kara isn’t going out? Or she said Lily wasn’t going out?” I inquire.

“Kara hasn’t said anything about going out, but I told her I was going to get up with the guys,” Eli responds.

“Eh, I guess I’ll join. Just know if I see her with another…” I stop myself, shaking my head.

“Yeah, yeah. I got you man. You know I always have your back, just like you do mine. That won’t ever change,” he says.

“Alright. So then, I’ll meet you at your place?” I ask, giving in to his request. It won’t be a bad idea for me to get out, I suppose.

“Yeah. That’s cool.”

“Cool. Later,” I reply before hanging up the phone.

I don’t want to go out tonight, but I guess a drink or two won’t hurt, as long as I don’t run into her. I just can’t face her yet, knowing what I’ve done. I’m a pretty strong willed guy, but at the same time, she’s the one thing I am not sure I can resist. I’m a coward for not wanting to face her. I have never felt the need to avoid anyone, especially for the sake of my heart.

Even still, I feel like I’m doing her a favor. I know me. She knows the parts of me I have been willing to show and I know she is completely smitten with them. It’s easy though, to hide the not so pretty parts for a short period of time. The same could go for her, though. How much do I really know about Lily Vincent? Enough to know she’s more than I deserve, that’s what I know. If I didn’t give a damn about her or the perseverance of her heart and soul, I would’ve held on causing her to hate me later.

I’m doing it for her, even though she doesn’t see it now. I know two things are for certain: I can’t see her, knowing how much it hurt me to do what I’ve done, and I can’t see her in the arms of someone else.
