Not a bad thing

Izzie’s POV
Was my mind playing a game with me? How did he even find me? I saw another person coming into the room from behind Arin’s back. “RYE!” I got up and ran to my friend and hugged her. “Damn! I just decided this morning that I wouldn’t cry anymore” Rye smiled “You’re not doing a really good job, dear” she said, wiping the tears from my face. “I can’t believe you are here”.

“We missed you” Arin said quietly. I looked at him “Oh Arin, I missed you too!” I walked over to him, giving him a hug. He held on to me tightly “Arin, I would like to breathe”. What is it with drummers and there hugs?

He looked at me closely. “What?” Arin shrugged “Nothing, I’m just glad that you sort of okay” I got out of his hold “Well thank you Arin, for the “sort of”” I muttered. I sat down on the couch, while Arin sat across from me and Rye and Tammy, who had come in again, sat next to me on the couch.

Arin started to speak up “It is time for you to come home”. I looked at him “I can’t Arin, I can’t be in the same town as he is, it hurts too much.” I looked at Rye “This is Chris times 10, I can’t.” Silent tears were streaming down my face again. Tammy got me a glass of water and looked at me “Izzie, I think you should hear Arin out” All the pieces fell in to place at once, Tammy made them come, they would never have found me if she didn’t, I wasn’t sure if I needed to be angry or happy she did what she did.

My view shifted to Arin again, the shy boy had disappeared and he looked like a man with a mission. “Please hear me out Izzie, let me finish, if you don’t like what I’m saying, I will leave, ...we will leave, and you can stay here as long as you want, but you need to make a well educated choice and you don’t have all the information at this moment. “

I put my head in my hands, I guess there was nothing else to do than listen to his story.

“It was Tess, and she kissed Matt. He was waiting for you. She sneaked up to him from behind and he thought it was you.” I shot him a look “Have you seen her, Arin? We don’t even look alike! How the hell could he mix us up?” Rye put a hand on my arm “Let him finish, Izzie” Arin wasn’t afraid, he sat looked me straight in the eye, not backing out for one second.

“He knew right away that it wasn’t you and pushed her off. He told her he never wanted to see her again and leave him, and you alone. That he loved you and that he didn’t want to be with her. He waited for you for a few minutes, but he couldn’t shake that nagging feeling, so he went looking for you, but you and Brian were already gone at that moment.”

He got up and sat in front of me, on his knees, my hands in his “Brian remembered the name of your friend” he smiled at Tammy “and Lynn knew which state she was. So the three of them rushed to the airport, but they just saw your plane taxi down the airstrip.”

Rye continued “Matt didn’t want to go home and they went back to your house. He’s been lying in your bed since then, we are taking turns watching him, making sure he eats and gets out of the bed once in a while. He is miserable, Izzie, and by the sight of you, you have been too. I don’t think there is a good reason for you both being miserable. What you saw was a snapshot of a moment, which ended almost immediately after that, but you didn’t stick around to see that. Matt loves you, you need to come home, because you love him too. He might be the fucking love of your life and you’re fleeing.”

“So much for easing her into it” I heard Tammy mumble. I stood up, I was too round up. “That’s a nice story guys, and it might even be true, but what if this is just the beginning?! And in a few months I will find out he has been sneaking around my back anyways. I couldn’t take it. I’m a mess, I never loved anyone like I love Matt. We had our trust issues, but I put them all aside and what did it bring me? That I got hurt again! I can’t. I can’t see him, I can’t forget about this. I’m sorry he’s hurt, I really am, I love him too much to see him hurt, but that is also exactly the reason I’m not willing to get back. I would only take him back for the wrong reasons”

I stumbled out of the living room and entered the guestroom, smashing the door behind me. I let myself fall down on the bed, sobbing, again. Why did they come? What if it was true? I got my phone out of my pocket. The messages from Matt had stopped. Brian and Lynn were the most constant, and frequent. They were my best friends after all. I let my finger wander over the call button. I needed the frank opinion of my best friend. I pressed the button.

Lynn’s POV
I finally got Brian home with me, he had been over at Izzie’s house for days. Only getting home to get a change of clothes. He claimed it was to look after Matt, but I could see in his face that he was just hoping that Izzie would walk back through the door. We both were hurt that she choose not to contact us. We were her oldest friends and I just couldn’t understand why she didn’t trust me, why she didn’t talk to me. I just hoped that Tammy wouldn’t let her wallow too much, once she got in one of those moods, it was really hard to talk sense into her. I wish I could just tell her what was going on, get her to come back, if I only knew where she was.

“Lynn, do you know where my black jeans are?” Brian walked through the house, collecting clothes as he went along. “How would I know? I’m not even living here” I chuckled. He stopped in front of me “Yeah, why aren’t you?” I looked in his eyes. I loved his eyes, he had so much love in them when he looked at me. “I mean, the whole Matt – Izzie thing made me realize time is just too short. Look at how miserable they are. You practically live here after all, why not make it official?” I looked at him, wow, didn´t see that one coming. “Well, Lynn? What do you think? Can you stand being around me all the fucking time?” He had a boyish smile on his lips, how could I ever resist! I threw myself at him and kissed him ravenously. He looked at me closely “No? You don’t think it’s a good idea?” He grinned “Shut up Brian! Yes! I would love to live with you, but don’t expect me to do all the cleaning” He kissed me “No problem at all, I have a help anyways” He pulled me close to his body “We should celebrate” he said as he started walking for the bedroom, pulling my top over my head. “I think we should” I replied as he threw me on the bed.

He removed the rest of my clothes, while I fumbled with his shirt and boxers, lucky for me, that was the only thing he was wearing right now, since he was looking for his pants before he started all this. I started to tease my hand around his cock, moving my hand up and down as I go. He moaned. “God, I missed you” His hands moved over my breasts, gently flicking my nipples, “Oh Brian” I sighed. He slipped his fingers into my wet little box and started doing his magic. “Brian, please” He gently put his body on mine, sliding his, now rock hard, cock into me. He licked my lips, moving his mouth onto mine, his tongue exploring my mouth, while he started to move slowly in persistent thrusts. “I need to come Lynn, I can’t hold on much longer” Brian panted. “It’s okay” I said as I kissed him hard. I felt him unload in me, as he let himself fall down on me.

He gained his breath and moved down on me, putting his mouth on my little bundle of nerves. He wasn’t only very capable with his hands, his tongue was very talented too. It wasn’t long before I fell into pieces under his hands and mouth.

We were both trying to get back to ourselves when I heard my phone ring. It couldn’t be. It was Izzie’s ringtone. I rushed out of bed, trying to get to my phone before it ended. Where was the damn thing?! I finally found it and pushed a lot of buttons just to make sure I answered before she would hang up. “Izzie! Is it really you?! I was worried sick!” It was quiet on the other side of the line, I almost thought I had been too late. I looked at the screen, the time was running, there was a connection. Then I finally heard the voice of my best friend, small and barely recognisable to the always lively woman she was “Lynn? I missed you” and she started to cry uncontrollably.

“Oh sweetie” I spoke softly. “Is that Izzie?” Brian asked me, grabbing the phone out of my hand “Izzie? I missed you so much, please tell me where you are, let me see you, please?” Brian talked really fast as if he wasn’t sure how long he would be able to talk to her “Baby, please stop crying, I hate it when you cry and I can’t hold you” I looked at Brian, it was like he was talking to his baby sister, trying to comfort her, be everything she needed. If it wasn’t my best friend he was talking to, I would definitely be jealous. “Oh. Okay.” I heard him say. “Yes, I will put you on speaker, please hold on”

Brian pushed a few buttons, and there she was, our girl, cracking through the speaker of my phone. “Hey guys, I missed you both, I’m happy I can talk to you at the same time”
“We missed you too! Tell me what’s going on with you babe, why did you run? You should have come to me” I almost begged her, my frustration from the past few days came out, not in an annoyed way, but it hurt me, when my friend was hurt”
“I couldn’t Lynn, I just couldn’t. I couldn’t risk the fact of seeing Matt, I knew I couldn’t handle it.”
“You know I love you and I will always be on your side, but babe, you have to come back. You need to hear the whole story”
She was quiet for a bit and then spoke softly “Please tell me?”
Brian and I looked at each other and started to tell the story, together. After we finished, Brian was holding my hand and we were looking at each other hopefully.
“Izzie, can you please tell us where you are so we can visit you? I promise we won’t tell Matt” Brian begged. He needed to see her, just as bad as I was. The other side stayed quiet for a minute or two, the only thing that attested to the fact that she was still here, was her soft breathing. Then she spoke up.

“I will tell you all about Tammy’s when I get back”
