Brad Simpson Yin And Yang

"Friend?"

Chapter 27: “Friend?”

“Hello are you still” The voice from my phone that was now on the floor. I grabbed my sweater and began packing a small bag. I grabbed my phone off the floor and hung it up. How could I let this happen. “Your Leaving” a voice says behind me. I look to see him at my door frame. “I have to go, it's an emergency” I said between voice cracks. “What’s wrong?” He says stepping closer towards me. I don’t why but I ran into his arms. Surprisingly he didn’t hesitate to hold me. I stood there gripping to his body. I let all my tears flow out my eyes like a waterfall onto his shirt. He then placed a kiss on the top of my head and began rubbing my back gently. He then let go of me and grabbed my bag. After he picked my bag up he used his other hand and locked it with mine. Together we walked to the elevator. 

When we arrived at the parking lot he put my bag in his black range rover and opened the passenger door for me to enter. This time I didn’t fight him. I got in and watched him put my seatbelt on. “I’ll be right back. I'm gonna pack some stuff for me” He says before he places another kiss on my head and closes the door. I watched him run back into the building and walk back into the elevator.

I couldn’t stop thinking about what the man said to me on the phone. How could I let this happen again. 

Flashback:

“Yes, who is this?”  I spoke into the phone. “Hello my name is Kyle and I’m from Bridgeton hospital” He said sadly. Bridgeton hospital, why were they calling me. That wasn’t the hospital my mom was in unless they called to tell me that they moved her. Which is good because she could finally get the treatment she needed. “Hello Kyle, how may I help you is this about my mom” I said happily into the phone. “Actually no um it’s about your dad” he says sadly. “What about my dad?” I  answered quickly. “I regret to inform you, your father has been in a car accident” He said which caused me to drop my phone out of my hand. I stood there frozen wondering where I went wrong. “Hello Ms…” he tries to say but I hang up the phone immediately.

End of Flashback

Why do bad things keep happening to me? I know I can be a handle full but did I really deserve all of this. Maybe the universe is getting back at me for what I caused 3 years ago. “Maybe I’m the pro..” I was about to say before I heard the trunk slammed shut snapping me out of my thoughts. Then the driver seat door opens and watches him climb into the seat. 

The both of us sat in the car in silence. Not knowing what to say. Most people would say we have a bipolar friendship. Sadly we don’t even have that. “We’re going to Bridgeton hospital,” I said breaking the silence. I watched him type in GPS and headed off. 

During the car ride remain silent, not trying to start another possible fight. “Take a right turn” the GPS says but he continues to keep going straight. The GPS begins rerouting the car and continues to say turn right but he still continues to drive straight. “BRAD” I was about to scream until he turned into a Gas station. “I’m going to go get some snacks and fill the tank so we don’t have to stop on the way” He says unbuckling his seat belt. He then looks at me for approval so I nod my head. Brad then gets out of the car and heads into the gas station store. Now that he’s gone I think I made a mistake asking him to take me to the hospital. I couldn’t think about that right now especially since I’m hungry. I didn’t eat dinner,lunch, or breakfast so I’m starving. I’m also sure a bag of chips won’t fill me up. I take a pencil and a sticky note out of my bag and write a note to tell him that left to get food but I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t care. I remove my seat belt and open the car door. Lucky there was a Mcdonalds not that far from where I am. 

When I arrived at Mcdonalds I ordered my usual order. A chicken cheese burger and french fries with chicken nuggets and a pink lemonade. I also ordered a McFlurry to help my nerves. I decided to get Brad the same thing. After ordering I took a seat at one of the tables to wait for my food. “If it isn’t the boyfriend stealer” I heard a voice say behind me. I turned around to see a dark haired girl standing behind me all beat up with make up. She is wearing a red crop top that showed off her abs and a black & white skirt with a black leather jacket. She topped her outfit off with red pumps. “You like what you see,” she says with a smirk. She’s beautiful I’ll admit which is probably the most obvious reason he fell for her. “Hello to you too Rosie” I forced a fake smile towards her. I watched her flip her hair then took a seat in front of me. “I was joking but anyways what you were up to” she says like we're friends who haven’t seen each other in a long time. I don’t know why but I get a feeling that she’s up to something. “What do you want?” I rolled my eyes at her attempt to make small talk. It’s just pathetic if you ask me. “I can’t just talk to my friend” She says with a smirk on her lips.  “Friend?” I tilt my head in confusion. “Yea you would know all about it” she spoke.  “What do you mean?” I stutter. There is no possible way she knows about what happened because if she does then I’m going to be in a load of trouble. “You know like how Brad friend zoned you three years ago or should I say 4 years ago” she laughed. I looked at the receipt in my hand to see it was February 19. “So you know does that mean that the two of you are?” I said quietly. “Yeah we're getting back together so you don’t have to worry about your tree” she said. I don’t have a tree. Wait could she be talking about. I turn my head to see him enter the restaurant. Once he’s eyes catch mine he begins walking towards me but he wasn’t the only one that entered.
