Two months had passed since Virginia left Evendre and since she had met Andrew. She was growing closer and closer to Andrew each day but was hoping it was just a friendship that was blossoming between them and nothing more because she could not get involved with him. She couldn't get involved with anyone ever again because she knew that her past would haunt her and make any relationship that she had non existent. She knew that she would have to tell Andrew the truth eventually but knew that once she did the outcome would not be good. She then snapped out of her thoughts and back to getting ready.
Andrew invited her to a family get together and once again she said yes before she thought about it. She really had to stop saying yes to every invite she was invited too from Andrew because her saying yes meant that she wanted to be closer to Andrew and she was not wanting that. She knew his family was starting to wonder if there wasn't more to their relationship then just a friendship. She quickly finished getting ready and headed downstairs just in time to answer the door to a waiting Andrew. " You ready?" he asked her as she opened the door. She then smiled and stepped back. " Yes I guess so." she said as she picked up her bag and put things into it. He could sense something was wrong but he didn't ask.
The two of them then left the apartment and he put the car into reverse. " Thanks for coming with me today. My family really likes you." he told her as he backed out. She then looked out the window and exhaled. " It is no problem." she said to him and not wanting to even acknowledge that his family liked her. " I told them that our being around each other means nothing but they just don't believe it." he told her as he drove straight. She then turned on the radio and turned up the volume. " Do you really believe it yourself?" she asked him as she shifted in her seat. He was silent for a moment and then looked at her. " I believe that something is going on between us but because you have secrets and you are hiding something then I believe that we will always remain friends." he told her.
She then looked out the window again and squeezed her eyes shut to keep the tears from coming. " You are right I do have secrets and have reasons to why I came here that unless I tell you than we will remain friends and it is better this way," she told him. She continued to look out the window. " You have to trust me enough to tell me what is really up but right now you don't and I understand that." he told her. She didn't really feel like being around him or his family at this point. " Can you just take me back home? " she asked him. He then pulled over to the side of the road and put the car in park. " Look at me Ginny." he said and called her his pet nickname for her. She looked at him and her eyes filled up with tears. " I can't continue to lead you on like this. I will be looking for a different job on Monday because if I continue to work for you then I will have a hard time tying to forget you." she told him through her tears.
He felt like he had been slapped in the face but he did what she asked and took her home. He then parked and she opened the door. " Ginny I hope we can continue being friends." he said to her as she stepped out of the car. " We can but in time because right now the best thing for us is to stay away from each other, because if we continue to be around each other it would only get ugly." she said as she stepped out of the truck. She then turned around to grab her bag. " Bye for now Ginny." he said as she picked up her bag and threw it over her shoulder. " Bye Andrew." she said as she shut the door and walk away. He wasn't up to going to his family get together either so he then sent his sister a text and gave her some kind of excuse. Ge then put the truck into reverse and left the apartment complex with a very heavy heart and tears forming in the back of his eyes.
Virginia made it into her apartment and shut the door. She wasn't trying to hurt Andrew like that but she had too because she needed to protect him from her. She cared too much about him to hurt him so she had to do what she did to avoid hurting him worse than what she did today. She thought about calling Sam but she wasn't up for a phone call so she went up to her room and over to her bed. She then laid across it and cried and cried until she fell asleep.
