Brad Simpson Yin And Yang

Memory Lane

Since I haven't updated much I decided to drop 2 chapters (Chapter 20&21) . I felt motivated to so I hope you like it.

Chapter 21: Memory Lane 

After a few minutes the party went back to normal. I wanted to race out that door and go find him because I knew he would do the same for me but it wasn’t my place to do that anymore. It wasn’t my place to worry about him. Much less care either. It was Rosie’s job. “You ok?” Prince says interrupting me out of my thoughts. “Um yeah I’m fine” I said quietly. “Can you show me that picture now?” I said, trying to sound as cheery as possible. He then takes his phone out and shows me his new piece and pictures of his dog. 

When we all had enough of dancing and drinking like highschool teenagers. I decided not to drink like everyone else because I wasn’t in the mood to. I just felt guilty. After Princeton showed me his last picture I decided to go home. “Thanks for inviting me, this was fun but I’m tired and I have work tomorrow” I lied. “You sure the party just got started” Owen says sheeming over towards me. I couldn’t but laugh with everyone else. “Yeah I have to go,” I said, getting up from the sofa and starting to give everyone a hug. “I’m not coming home tonight so don’t kill each other” Tris says letting go of me. “No promises” I let go of him. 

After I gave everyone a hug and left the apartment I raced out of the building and grabbed the nearest taxi. The drive was so slow it was really starting to piss me off. “Can this car go any faster?” I say under my breath. “What is it Miss?” The driver says sweetly. “Um nothing” I spoke up. 

As soon as the taxi arrived at the Flat building I paid the taxi driver and raced to the elevator. As soon as the door’s opened on our floor I quickly took my keys out and opened it. “Grizzly” I yelled in the flat. Grizzly was a nickname I gave him since everyone called him bear. I hadn’t called him that in years. The flat was silent. “I’ll answer your question if you come out” I say while taking my coat off. There was no answer once again. Where was he? I decided to walk to his room to go check. I knocked on the door but it was still silent. “I’m coming in” I say opening the door slowly just in case if he was changing. When the door fully opened the room was empty.

The room was the same from three years ago except a little cleaner. I started picking up his clothes and sorting them on whether they were clean or not. I then fixed the sheets on his bed so they can be tidy when he comes home. I took a look around his room and there were pictures with him and the boys around of course along with his family and Jesse. My eyes then stopped as the picture was placed on his tv stand. It was a picture of me and him with Jesse. It was a picture of us outside the vet because we thought Jesse accidentally ate Brad’s chocolate but we then found out it was Tris after we came back from the vet. I picked up the picture and kept analyzing it with my eyes. Everything was so perfect back then. There was no yelling or fighting just two besties but that all ended because of me and my big mouth. I felt a tear roll down my eyes and I then quickly wiped it away. I missed how we used to be but I know deep in my heart that we couldn’t go back there. I couldn’t go back there and I’m pretty sure he knows it too.

I kept looking around the room and cleaned up anything I could find. After looking throughout his room I found the old ring I gave him and mine. We had matching rings because I thought since we were so close we needed to have our own little thing together. When everything went down three years ago I left that ring in my now room on purpose because I was mad at him. Who would have thought he kept mines much less kept his. 

My thoughts of our memories were then interrupted by a loud band in the kitchen. I felt my heart jump out of my chest. I can’t believe that we were getting robbed. I grabbed the golf club in his room and held it tight in my hands. I then heard footsteps moving closer towards the room. I got up and hid behind the door and clenched closely to the golf club. The door then opens and I hit the burglar right in the back. “Ow what the hell” the burglar yells from the floor. I looked on the floor to see a curly headed boy laying on the floor in pain. “Oh my gosh Brad I’m so sorry” I picked him off the floor. “I thought you we-” I open my mouth before he interrupts me. “What the hell is wrong with you?” He yells. “I thought you we-” I try to before he interrupts me again. “Why are you in my room” He snatches the golf club out of my hand. “I was looking for y-” I open my mouth to talk again but he cuts me off again. “I don’t care, just get out now” he moves out the door frame. I walked out the door but as I walked passed him I smelled something funny. “Did you go out drinking?” I ask concerned. “Stop being nosey” He attempts to mock me and then slams the door in my face.

I’m not going to lie, I did deserve it but I know how he gets when he drinks and I just wanted to make sure he was ok. “Can you please open the door? Are you ok?” I ask standing outside the door. “I don’t know, go ask Cherry blossom” He yells.
