The three of them had built me up, made me comfortable in my own body and made me see myself in a different light, a better light. Most importantly, with them, I had been alive. I had been happier than ever and found thrill and excitement in days that used to be dull and uneventful. And so, thinking of that instead of the what ifs, made it an easy decision. As cliche as it sounded, they brought colors into my life and I hadn't realized I had seen everything in shades of gray until they came along. I wasn't ready to let go of the colors, the thrill and the happiness, I wasn't prepared to let go of my men. So for how long did I have to stay away from them? Because if there was one thing that would kill me, it would be watching them move on with someone else while I kept my distance to keep them safe. Of course, I would do it if it meant them not getting hurt even if it would end up hurting me. It seemed I was just as self-sacrificing as the heroine I had read in books only. I was about a hundred percent more afraid than they ever were but I never said anything about being a bada***like them. I was only a girl who didn't t know any better. "We were home!"

Andy' voice filled the living room, making my heart ache for the same cheery feeling I had felt only a few hours ago. He gave me a quick hello before bustling into the kitchen with a grocery bag, followed by James, his unofficial boyfriend. I had already known he was coming to eat dinner with us for Andy's text had totally forgotten about it.

"Hi, there, beautiful lady." James grinned at me from the kitchen, helping Andy with the groceries and putting them away in the fridge.

"Hi, Jan

James.

How has your day been?" I asked, doing my best to keep my voice steady and normal.

It would be hard keeping shit from my best friend especially since he knew me so well but I had hoped he had shrugged it off as me still being emotional which I guess he would expect me to be. "Better now, I have missed my baby boy like crazy." He said, nodding at Andy. I smiled but it felt strained, knowing I was the reason he hadn't seen him. James noticed and grimaced.

"I really didn't mean it like that, it is like they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder." He

added.

"I am also glad that you had him, I know the need for a friend to lean on."

I turned towards Andy, who was leaning against the counter with a small smile on his beautiful face but he looked haggard. "How was work?" I asked and he sighed I

because his aunt owned the cafe and felt he could get away with anything which was correct. He did get away with not doing shit. I rarely had to work with him. Andy wasn't as lucky. The last time I had worked with him, goodness, it had been hell. Ben had busted into the lunchroom while he knew I was changing which was uncomfortable in itself. Still, worse was the look he had given me when Marshall picked me up after my shift. Long story cut short, Ben had asked me out on several occasions and I had given the excuse that I don't date which he now knew
