back?”
               
“No.”
               
“Yeah, I figured. If he did, he’d be here right now. We both missed you
something fierce kiddo, but it devastated him when you left. I know there was
never anything romantic between you too, but he loved you more than anyone,
still does .“ It was true, as much as I loved Bas, he
would always just be the brother I wished for, and he thought of me as a
sister, but we had been inseparable until I left.
               
“Was it really that bad?”
               
“Do you really have to ask?” He was trying to make me feel guilty, but my eyes
dropped to the floor anyway. I couldn’t bear to see how much hurt I had caused,
and it was all there on his face.
               
“No, I guess not. I just hoped that maybe he would understand. I needed to go.”
               
“How could anyone understand when you left without an explanation or even a goodbye. ”
               
“I know, and I’m sorry. I realize it was difficult-” He cut me off before I
could finish.
               
“I don’t think you do realize just how difficult it was for any of us when you
just up and disappeared, especially Sebastian. For days we worried something
awful had happened to you. When you didn’t show up at that party, Bas and Violette thought you might have crashed in ditch somewhere.
When that wasn’t the case we spent a week panicking and thinking that maybe
Connor . . .” He couldn’t bring himself to say it, but it was clear he
remembered the night Bas brought me to him just as well as I did. “Once they
finally bothered to let us know that you had in fact, just packed up your stuff
and left, Sebastian wanted to try and track you down so he could go after you.
Chris and I had to talk him out of it more than once.” I didn’t even know what
to say. I had known they would worry, but it never even crossed my mind how
deeply, or what they might think happened. I still couldn’t regret going the
way I did.
               
“Look, I’m sorry I don’t mean to lecture you and reprimand you, but you just
don’t know what it was like to watch him miss you every day. The last three
years were huge for him and he was expecting you to be here for all the things
you missed. I think that’s even the reason he’s still putting off proposing to
his girlfriend, he wanted to make sure you were here for that.”
               
“What? Proposing? ”
               
Bas was getting engaged?
               
He had just broken up with that wench Amy when I left. Wow. I had tried to keep
up with his college life, stalking the school networking sites and online
newspapers, but I really had missed a lot.
               
“Yeah, she’s a real sweet girl, they’ve been together for about two years, he’s got the ring and everything.”
               
“Well I’m here now.” I wasn’t sure what my future held or where I would end up,
but being back here and realizing how much had happened in my absence, I knew I
wouldn’t be able to leave it behind so hastily again, no matter what.
               
“Yeah, you are and you should probably talk to him soon before he hears it from
someone else.”
               
“I will. Do you know where I can find him?”
               
“Yeah, I do. He’ll be at Great Scott tonight. Christian found himself a band
and they play there pretty regularly. I know they’re playing there tonight.”
               
I couldn’t say I was surprised that Bas’ older brother joined a band, he was always driving us nuts, beating on his drum
kit. Part of the reason he spent so much more time over at their mom’s house
when we were kids was because it was big enough that no one there had to be
bothered by the noise.
               
“Thanks, I’ll head over there.” I let out a deep breathe .
“I’m
