Just Be Better

I walk outside to find Alejandro only to see him walk in the opposite direction of the car.
Bri: Alex
He is still walking.
Bri: Alex
I yell.
Ale: What Brianna ?
He says back angrily.
Bri: Why are you mad ?
Ale: Instead of walking away you decided to fight. This whole situation could have been avoided. Like always you make yourself look dumb.
Bri: What was I supposed to do ?
Ale: I don't know Brianna be better. Just be better.
Bri: I'm trying. I'm trying so fucking hard, but the moment he laid his hands on me I wanted to kill him.
Ale: Did you have to involve Vic ? She did nothing wrong.
Bri: No, but I knew that if I hurt her I would hurt Mattia.
He scoffed.
Ale: I thought you were so much better than that. You're just like Mattia.
He walks away.
Bri: Ale please.
Ale: You wanna know something ?
He turns around.
Ale: I lied when I said Vic was my first heartbreak.
Bri: What are you talking about ?
I wipe away my tears.
Ale: She's not my first heartbreak because you are.
He walks away and doesn't turn back.

I walk back to the porch and sit. I cry my eyes out realizing that I messed everything up. For what ? Why did I throw everything away ? Was he really worth it all ? The answer is yes. The person who I trusted the most turned out to be the one to stab me in the back the hardest. How could I let him get to me like this ? I lost the one person who stood by my side in the process. As I sit on the porch with my head hanging in between my knees, Robert walks out.

Robert: Bri are you ok ?
He sits next to me and places his hand on my back.
Bri: I lost him Rob. I fucking lost him.
Robert: Here, I'll go look for someone to-
He says getting up.
Bri: No stay please.
I say cutting him off as I grab his arm.
Rob: Ok
He says sitting back down.
Rob: I can't believe I actually got to see you fight.
He says smiling causing me to laugh.
Bri: That's not helping.
Rob: Oh it's not ?
Bri: No
Rob: Ok.
Rob: I know you feel like shit right now, but in the little time I had to get to know you, I seen who you really are. A good person who doesn't let the world knock her to her knees. Fuck what everybody else has to say about you.
I look out towards the street.
Bri: I just feel like no matter how many steps I take forward, I always end up where I started.
Rob: But you always start off with a little more than the previous time, so benefit off that. It's not always gonna be perfect, but apart of the process.
Bri: Who knewof all people you could give good advice ?
Rob: I know right ? Not even I knew.
We here someone walking towards us.

We turn to see Bryce dressed up all nice.

Bryce: Hey mama
He says with a smirk.
Bryce: Sup Rob
He says as he dabs him up.
Rob: Hey
Rob: Alright well I'm gonna go back inside.
We both stand up.
Bri: Thank you Robby.
I say hugging him.
Rob: I'll check on you later.
He says walking away.
Bryce: What was that about ?
I sit back on the steps, and Bryce sits next to me.
Bri: I just got in a fight.
Bryce: Deadass ?
Bri: Yup.
Bryce: With who ?
Bri: Vic
Bryce: Wait ain't that -
Bri: Yup I fought him too.
I say cutting him off.
Bryce: Nu uh.
Bri: Yeah, and now Ale is mad at me.
Bryce: Damn why do I always miss the good shit ?
I fold my arms over my knees and rest my head on top of them facing him.

Bryce sees my change in attitude. He uses his hand to lift my chin up, so he can look me in the eyes.

Bryce: You okay ?
He pushes a piece of my hair behind my ear.
Bri: I'm fucked.
He pulls my legs over his and wraps his arms around my waist: (Like this)

Bryce: No you're not.
Bri: I just wanna go home.
I say as I rest my chin on his shoulder.
Bryce: Then I'll take you home.
He grabs my hand and we both stand up and walk to his car.

I decide to leave my car there, since I don't feel like driving. He opens the door for me and waits til I get in and put my seatbelt on. When we get to my house, he parks outside of the gate. I slowly unbuckle myself out not wanting to get out of the car.

Bri: You wanna come inside ?
He gasps.
Bryce: You're inviting me in your house ?
Bri: Yes
I say smiling.
Bryce: You're not trying to seduce me are you ?
I laugh.
Bri: No I'm not. Not unless you want me too.
Bryce: Girl don't play with me. With yo sexy ass.
Bri: I'm kidding.
We get off and walk up to the door.

I unlock it, and we walk in. I make sure he takes his shoes off. I don't see Mark anywhere, so I assume he's in his room asleep. I grab his hand and lead him upstairs to my room.
