What it was

People say when you dream of someone they miss you and when you dream big things you should chase them but they don't tell you that when you dream and your eyes flutter gracefully the dream you dream may be a reflection of your reality.

Brielle wakes startled, "Ugh lordy Jesus my head is pounding... what happened last night" says as she falls off of her bed. She gets up to go feed her pet snail Milo in the living room. She finds Aliah already awake making breakfast and coffee, "Rise and shine my great butterfly". Brielle sits and growls while putting her head on the table. "Soooooo how'd ya sleep?" Aliah said while putting a cup of coffee in front of her. "I wanna rip my brain out, stomp on it, and shove back in my head but, that food smells mad good," Brielle said with a long face. "Alright well, I made you some coffee and that food isn't for you this is," Aliah says as she puts a brown paper bag on the table titled "irresponsible drinking food". "How am I the irresponsible one when you drank more than me?", "Because I'm not a lightweight and I know my limits", "Well isn't that a miracle," Brielle says as she picks up her coffee, "What's in this bag anyway?", "Uh, a cream cheese bagel toasted and your favorite Hot Cheetos". "Thanks and although I can't show it because my pain is submerging my happy side I am grateful", "Yea I can tell," Aliah says doubtingly, "Oh, and before I forget I already fed Milo". Brielle nods and heads to her room to eat her breakfast and go through her social media but, her thoughts end up becoming consumed by the events that took place last night. "BLOODY HELL she literally fell into my arms", "Alright, Alright", "That fucked up mind of yours" were the words that spun around in her mind almost hypnotizing her for minutes at a time but, the real question is what started the night? Was is when Brielle had picked Aliah up? Was is when Jevaughn saw Brielle next to Dean? Or was it when Jevaughn had finally snapped out of his thoughts?

Her phone buzzed snapping her out of it and to her surprise, it was a message from Jevaughn. "Yeo, are you busy?" it read. Brielle debated on whether to reply because of the fear that he would want to discuss last night, she just still couldn't wrap her head around it. "No, why?" she replied and seconds later a call comes running right on through, she answers. "Yeoooo I wanted to know if you wanted to go for a ride tonight to chill or something," he says. "In my car, I'm assuming," she says. He laughs, "I'll pick you up at 4:30" then he hung up. Brielle then sunk deeper into her bed and thought about the next steps of her day. She then sprung out of her bed and stood, "Step 1 get out of bed boom done" she said. She then walked into her bathroom to brush her teeth and washed her face while music blasted in the background. She then went to her closet to pick out an outfit and some shoes and although she knew that this wasn't serious it meant a lot to her because... it was him. "Step 1, 2, andddd 3 done," she said as she struggled to lift her shoebox up along with her clothes. She had finally set her outfit out on her bed and pictured how good she would look in them. She began to debate with herself, "See it's cute but not too fancy and it's comfy but not too baggy with being casual at the same time." "Get a load of this guy, HEY GENIUS IT'S NOT A DATE", "Ugh there's no reason to yell when you're literally in my head and of course I know that, that's why we're going casual", "Oh yea that should go on a Hallmark card with the rest of the rejects, how about some sweatpants with a bodycon shirt and some Ugg's since it's cold out and hey because you care so much you can throw in an actual jacket and some gloves instead of the garbage you had on last night, you nearly cause an ice age in here", "It wasn't garbage, it was a very well put together costume", "He called you a slut", "Ok and mind your business". Aliah walks to Brielle's room to ask her something but she hears the conversation and decides to listen in against the door. "I am the business come on jeans, white air force 1's, and a "boyz n da hood" shirt? I mean that's a good fit but it doesn't scream car ride with an ex but totally not ex-boyfriend to me", "No it screams I'm leaning back but I won't fall until you let you go", "Jesus... get a grip". Aliah realizes this wasn't a conversation between two people, "Is she talking to herself?" she thinks silently but when the talking from inside had stopped she just walked away like nothing. Brielle chose to wear the outfit she picked out and went to her bathroom again to do her makeup than her hair. As Brielle admired and judged herself, Jevaughn had gracefully picked out his outfit also but, had oddly worked on his hair leaving, us with the question, are these feelings mutual?
