CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

John noticed that Stephen looked upset about something and asked to speak to him out on the balcony while everyone was eating. “Are you okay?” he asked him. “I don’t know” Stephen said pulling at his hair. “Alright what is wrong?” John asked him. Stephen and John sat down on the patio chairs and Stephen told John what all had happened yesterday. “There is a part of me that is so angry at her but another part of me says we weren’t even married yet.”

“I can understand where you’re coming from but think about Shelby also. She has always been the older sister and she told Cody what she thought without holding back. I am sure that is what she thought she was doing and then they both let it go. Cody probably assumed that she got upset and told you what happened and wanted to apologize to you.”

“I never thought of it like that. I think you will feel a lot better once you talk to Shelby” he told him. Cody hadn’t meant to but overheard them talking. “Hey” he said coming out. “Hey” Stephen told him. “Listen I hope I didn’t make you guys fight.”

“Were alright” Stephen told him looking down. A few minutes later Shelby made it downstairs to breakfast and could see Stephen talking to John outside. She sighed and sat down to eat and her grandmother looked at her and knew something was up.

“Let’s take a walk” she said after eating. Shelby wanted to stay and talk to Stephen but she got up to walk with her grandmother. “How are things?” Paige asked her. “Alright” Shelby said looking down. “Do you want to know one of the things that I always loved about you?” “What?” Shelby asked her. “You could never lie to me. So don’t start doing it now” she said sternly. “Stephen is angry with me.”

“Why?” Paige asked concerned.

“Before I got married to Stephen he told my dad and brother he had PTSD. After he left Cody became concerned and didn’t think that I needed to marry him. He came over and told me that and we got in a fight. I told him to mind his own business and that I was going to marry him because I loved him. I thought that was the end of it. When I came back from shopping yesterday Stephen was waiting for me upset in the room. When I asked him what was wrong he told me that Cody apologized to him about coming and asking me not to marry him. He got real upset that I didn’t ever tell him what had happened. I mean at the time we were not even married so I didn’t think that it mattered that much. He started telling me how we shouldn’t keep secrets from each other and how he couldn’t believe I did that to him. I never did anything to intentionally hurt him and I hate that he is feeling that way right now.
