Free Reunion by M. R. Joseph

at a gig and I sang what you call our song that I was just going to be like ok let’s get back together? Is that what you thought Sam?”
    He stood there shocked. “Um well I didn’t think you were seeing anybody and I thought we could take it slow.”
    “I guess you should of done your homework there dumb jock. I started seeing someone just a few weeks ago.”
    I was a big , fat liar.
    I stood there solid and folded my arms across my chest.
    “Oh really. That’s is news to me since I asked everyone of your girlfriends if you were seeing anyone and they told me no. They said you hadn’t dated anyone since we broke up. So why lie Sav?”
    “Listen asshole I don’t have to tell my girlfriends everything that goes on in my life and I certainly don’t have to explain myself to you or explain my relationship with... Colin to you.” I quickly thought of a name.
    He dropped his gaze at me. “Oh so he has a name. Colin you say? Isn’t that the name of the guitar player you sing with? I saw his name on the Sandwich board in front of Smitty’s that night?”
    I nodded yes
    “Are you fucking him? Be honest with me cause I can’t take this too much more” He shook his head at me a held up both his hands.
    “You are such an arrogant ass Sam Reynolds. You can’t take much more? You can’t! Well I wasn’t the one that told me he no longer wanted to be with me because we didn’t have anything to talk about and he decided he wanted to stick his dick in everything that walked. You are actually saying to me you can’t take much more? How about my thoughts of you kissing and having sex with other people for the past 7 months. Did you think I wouldn’t think about that? And my sex life is no longer your business. You are so full of yourself.”
    My voice was raised and I was pointing my finger into his chest. I felt a hand on my shoulder.
    “Savannah stop. Just walk away honey. Let’s go. “ Lilian said quietly. I looked around and realized we were the only two on the dance floor.
    “It’s taken me almost eight months to get over you. Do you realize the pain you put me through and I was doing it alone. Don’t you get it.”
    The tears began to flow from my eyes and down my cheeks. My throat got tight and I couldn’t look him. All I could do was look down.
    “Sav, I didn’t pursue anything with the girl I was talking to. I went out with a few girls but that’s about it. It never got too far. Every girl I went out with, they weren’t you. All I saw was your face. Please believe me. You have to believe me.” His face was serious and I swore I saw his eyes water up. He grabbed my face and held his gaze into my eyes. “ I have never lied to you Sav. In the years I have known you I have never lied to you. Why would I start now. When I wanted to end it I was honest with you and told you how I felt first. I didn’t cheat on you. That’s not me.”
    “What about Senior Fun Night when I saw you and Christa kiss by the boys bathroom? What the hell was that? You didn’t lie to me then? Christa told me you kissed her.”
    “Whoa wait she said that? Sav I told you what happened. I was waiting in line to use the bathroom and she walked up to me and pinned me against the wall. I pushed her away from me. She was drunk Sav. That was 5 years ago. We’ve been through so much more than that. Why would you still have that in your head. You’re jealousy is ridiculous.”
    He took a step away from me. The DJ put on another song. It was a song that reminded him of the two of us. It reminded me of him as well. Sam rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands and growled at the song choice. He grabbed me by the elbow and led me off the dance floor towards one of the exits. I struggled to get him off of me as we made our way out to the parking lot. “ What are you doing Sam. Get off of me”. I yelled at him
    “We are not going anywhere until you hear what I have to say Savannah! You hear me!”He yelled right back at me.
    “You
