After Andrew was done with Hayden , he stood outside waiting for me and Amanda to get done as well , I shortly joined him, he seamed like he wanted to say something .
" we are going to drive you to your fashion company " he said .
" I know, I mean thank you " I said , his secretary opened the door for me getting in and Andrew followed in.
" my schedule today " I began to say, Andrew was quiet listening
" no, I mean my diet how did you know " I asked
" from Paris " he coldly replied
" you said that earlier ,but I mean ...." I let out a heavy sigh , He looked at me silently , I just turned giving up on my question.
" I believe your confident , with proper grammar and communication skills so phrase the question correctly so I can answer you " Andrew said .
" never mind " I said , I already knew the answer, I knew he was there at the company.
" was I at your company earlier " he added . I looked at him , he was indirectly telling me the answer.
" No " he added .
Completely denying even with evidence cause Paris can't call him just to inform him about diet , and she had mentioned him too .
" Thank you " I said
" for letting you with your girlfriend tonight , no need I was forced to" Andrew said
" I mean for the undelivered flowers " I said letting him no I know he was there .
Andrew turned looking at me , I looked at him shortly then turned looking outside.
" Something is changed about you " he said
" what is that "I asked
" you no longer fear me " he said , I turned and looked at him , I have never stopped fearing Andrew ,I know he can snap any minute , and that time he is a monster it's just that I have gained a little confidence . I then turned and looked away.
" Are you okay " I asked softly. Much as I am not in love with him , I don't hate him either I have discovered that in me recently , I always thought I did hate him .
His face expression had changed, he was more of shocked and at the some time he looked weak . I had as well grabbed the secretary's attention together with the driver .
" what !!!!" Andrew questioned , I would count thus the first time he has been caught off guard and he asks like as if I wasn't clear before
" you are not looking good since earlier , I am just wondering if everything is okay " I repeated more clear . I know his stress came from work so I figured maybe there is some business not fine .
" Ahhh....." He really didn't know how to reply to my question.
" is it business " I asked
" no , everything is fine " he said
" then why are lo..."
" nothing is wrong with the businesses, they are fine " he said before I completed my question.
"I don't know what's wrong with me " he added .I looked aside just figuring out how he is having the bipolar disorder of not .....wait we had reached already the car has been parked for some good minutes , I looked at the front noticing the driver and secretary were also outside standing waiting for us to finish.
" Get going " Andrew said discovering as well.
" thanks " i said going out .
Much as I didn't understand Andrew i knew it surely that was only thing he could open up to me , which was not even helpful .
I reached my office sitting back in my seat comfortably , this is my only sweat, I have worked hard for my own brand fashion company ,this my work and sales makes me proud of myself. My phone rang , I got it out of my bag so happy about the one who had called
" Hayden " I smiled
" it was lovely having you at my house " he said
" the pleasure is mine " I said
" am so curious " I added
" about Andrew " he said
" yes " I replied , Hayden remained silent for a while .
"Andrew and I attended the some boys private school " he said but that's not a reason enough to be friends or close . Besides that not even included on Andrew's biography, I have seen all his papers but....
" I know , it's not something you have had of" Hayden said
" it's a secret private school for rich sons who are going through a hard time, the parents who take their children there don't want to disclose the fact that the kids have a bad mental health" Hayden added, now this shocked me. I was so surprised
" take it as a re habilitation center for rich boys in the name of school " he said
" why were you and Andrew there " I asked
" mine was easy , drugs , " he said but I could feel a smile on his face , how is that even easy, he doesn't even look like he has ever taken drugs
" I got addicted after losing my big brother " he said , I could not feel any sadness in his voice or a slight pain
" Andrew on the other side was there for suicide " Hayden said . my jaw dropped , I felt pain in my chest , folding of intestines .
" Much as he was being given treatment, having therapy sessions twice a day but it wasn't helping " Hayden said
" He still continued to try to take his life , he even got a personal guard just to keep an eye on him till on time I found him trying to take his life in the bathroom , I stopped him and decided to be friends with him just wondering why a young boy would hate his life to that extent " Hayden said
I was filled with sadness, pity and sympathy towards Andrew .
" why was he trying to end his life all those many times " I asked
" that should be his story not mine to tell " Hayden said
" I thought being friends with him would help , we all thought so even the doctors were glad to see him a bit changed, he started to eat, hang out with other boys , he began to engage in games ,sports and laughing " Hayden said , but I could feel the negative part coming
" we discovered late that it was not helping, he was putting on a fine pretence show ,that day we woke up finding him down in the toilets, he had taken an over dose " Hayden said
I was so quiet listening to the part of Andrew I had never imagined , he never looked all this ,I guess it's true never judge a book by it's cover .
" he was rushed to the hospital and from that day I never saw him till I discovered that my daughter's best friend was married to Andrew Smith" Hayden said
" Does he seam fine to you " I asked , Hayden giggled
" He and I meant so some business before I even decided if I wanted to see him again , he remembered me so well, he was so happy to see me " Hayden said.
" I was too, he seamed to have healed , he seamed so happy and fine." He added
" Seamed !!!" I quoted the word
Hayden laughed again , I just wanted to know nothing is funny.
" and he still is Val, Andrew out grew that stage " Hayden assured
" did you heal as well " I asked , Hayden remained silent for a while , somehow I knew he was smiling
" I did ,thanks to Andrew , I found purpose on not holding onto drugs because after I become friends with him " Hayden said
" see , (he sighed) we had made a pact to help each other heal so we can go our of that place ,even though Andrew was younger than me he was of great help " Hayden said
" Am in his debt of him helping and I didn't even do anything close to helping " Hayden said ,and here in his voice I could feel emotion
" am sure you did your best , Andrew was to be helped by himself ,no one could help before he found self love and a purpose of living" I assured Hayden . I knew somehow he felt guilty, after a loss of his brother , he looked at Andrew as his young brother , Hayden must have felt in debt of Andrew .
" I know that ,am happy for sure to know he is really fine " Hayden said .
" I hope so " I said
" and thank you ," Hayden said
" Val, Andrew might not know how lucky he is to have you as a caring wife even when there is nothing like a common ground for the both of you " Hayden said.
Pretty sure Andrew does not give a damn , why would he . Just after my call with Hayden my mind was flooded with Andrew , first the kiss now his secret history , am sure does not want to talk about it especially from a person like me .
