Confrontation

October, 2 years ago

Lucy

“I can’t make it tonight for dinner, Mom. Something came up.” Lucy cringed, knowing how sad her excuse sounded. She leaned against the doorframe of her parents’ study where her mom was painting by the window. “I, uh, need to buy a pair of slacks in case I have an interview next week.”

Her mom lifted her paintbrush from the canvas and turned around with a pained expression. “Lucy, you can’t avoid Micah forever. You came back from L.A. almost a month ago. It’s time you saw him.”

“But Mom, he hates me. We haven’t spoken since my graduation. That was a year and a half ago. He clearly doesn’t want to see me or talk to me. It would just make dinner weird if I went.”

“What’s weird is the two of you pretending you don’t care about each other. He does care, that’s why he reacted so strongly when you didn’t move back after college. It doesn’t matter how much time has passed. Old friends can pick up right where they left off. It was like that with your dad and me when we bumped into each other after high school,” she mused with a fond smile. “Tonight will be the perfect chance for you guys to catch up.”

“If he wanted to catch up, he would’ve called or texted me. I still have the same number. And it’s not like he doesn’t know where I am. His parents live next door. I see his car in their driveway every Friday night.” She made it a point to leave the house as soon as he arrived and not return until after he’d left. Okay, maybe she wasn’t giving him a chance to find her. But he’d hurt her with his silence. In all the years she’d been in Southern California, he’d only texted her on her birthday. The times she contacted him, their conversations were brief and superficial. After a while, she’d given up on keeping in touch, especially after her acting career—brief as it was—took off. Even then there had been no congratulatory email or Facebook post to show that he cared. Despite their history and what her mom said, she doubted he wanted anything to do with her.

Her mom gave her a pointed look. “You haven’t been making it easy for him to find you. You’re out practically every evening. This place is starting to feel like a hotel or more of a youth hostel, considering we don’t charge you for rent,” she winked. “I sometimes wonder if you even live here.”

Lucy did hope to move out soon though, not just to be on her own again, but to decrease her chances of bumping into Micah. Her shoulders slumped at the thought. Wow. How depressing. Micah was supposed to be her friend, her family even, but their relationship was next to non-existent. How would they ever get back to where they used to be? What do I need to do, Lord, to make things better? She prayed silently, hoping for a miracle.
