All Chapters of Threes a crowd: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

It was two days before Blake's wedding and as it was getting nearer I was shitting it more and more. We were sitting on my sofa, playing PlayStation as usual when he looked up. “I’ve got something to tell you" he whispered and I turned to him, my wedding anxiety kicking in. I nearly chuckled to myself it wasn’t even my wedding but I wanted it to be fucking perfect for him and Stacey. “Go on". I muttered, throwing the controller down.“Olivia’s coming to the wedding and she’s booked the hotel". I groaned standing up, no, no please don't tell me this is happening. I had successfully managed to ignore Olivia for five years. Wanting her to move on without me, someone who wasn’t good for her. I knew Blake kept in contact with her but it was too painful for me to do that. “Blake man" I groaned, rubbing my face with my hands. “Look, maybe you two can actually talk and remember you were friends!” he said looking over the sofa at me. “Is she bringing anyone?” I sputtered out.“No, she had

I walked to the fire pit and Blake caught me in the middle. Sebastian and Stacey had walked up and we were alone. “Are you okay?” he asked me, scanning my face. “I’m good you don't have to worry about me and Bash I promise. Just worry about getting married". I smiled my hand on his arm. “You should know a couple of things though Ollie I don’t want you to be thrown".“Daddy!!” a voice got my attention away from Blake and I looked up to the fire pit, Sebastian had two very young children in his arms and my stomach plummeted. I looked back at Blake whose eyes were closed. “Fucking terrible timing” he muttered. “Is he with someone?” I asked, feeling my voice trembling.“No he is very much single but has two kids, his ex girlfriend is pregnant with number three"“I’m sorry?” I asked, tears pooling in my eyes. “Ollie I know you’ve always had a soft spot for Bash. I know you liked him more than me” Blake was whispering now which I appreciated. “Look it’s baggage, he had shit loads of b

OliviaSebastian confused me tonight as much as he did five years ago. I think even he doesn’t know what he is saying half the time. Words and emotions were never his strong point and he normally used anger to get his point across. He was never angry with me, other than the sofa situation and I knew that’s what confused him. Sebastian’s main focus of communication had to be different with me and he didn’t know how to do that. To change the way he was to make me understand. I closed my eyes tight trying to sleep, not wanting to ruin Blake and Stacey’s big day tomorrow. I knew Sebastian would be nervous and prayed our interaction wouldn’t affect him for tomorrow either. I had a horrible feeling in my gut that I should have declined this wedding, or at very least brought a friend along. I chuckled at the thought. I didn’t have any friends. “Hello?” I heard a quiet voice and jumped up from my bed, it was a woman’s voice which made me panic less. “Yeah?” I called back. “It’s Stacey”.“C

I cried like a baby at Blake and Stacey’s vows, full on ugly cried. They were beautiful as were Stacey, her dress was modern short and fitted her perfectly. It warmed my heart so much. I managed to avoid Sebastian’s gaze, he looked scrumptious in a slim fitting navy suit and a navy bow tie. I had never seen Sebastian dressed in anything other than a tracksuit and I liked it.I was sitting in my seat at the wedding dinner, luckily I was also with Cynthia and Sebastian’s mum Tracey. I had never met Tracey before but she was the loveliest woman. Her and Cynthia had been friends since they were little and I watched them with smiles as they giggled about something silly. “Are you okay?” Sebastian asked me sitting next to me, Izzie on his lap. “I’m good" I said cheekily and he chuckled, looking down. “I loved your speech" I said to him as his eyes lifted up and were on mine. I cried during that too and I was proud of Sebastian, public speaking wasn’t his thing. Sebastian blew out a breath

I threw myself into bed after another twelve hour night shift. I was exhausted, mentally and physically. I left the minute Blake left my yurt, I couldn’t do this anymore and I couldn’t keep going back to Sebastian. It didn't work. My eyes were starting to close as my phone made me jump. I grabbed it and looked at the number ringing. I didn’t recognise it but answered in case it was someone at work. “Hello"“Ollie". My blood froze as I sat back up.“Bash?” I whispered, my heart flipping. I heard him chuckle and it made me smile. “Are you free tonight?” he asked me and I swallowed. “Yeah why?”“I want to see you.” He was being quiet and not giving a lot away. “Why?”“Because I fucked up, again. I need to fix this.” I let out a breath, I was over this. “I don’t think it's fixable". I muttered, closing my eyes. “Anything is fixable. I'll be at yours at six, you still live at the same place?” I tried to stop myself from laughing.“Yeah I do.”“See you then.” He hung up the phone to me
