Forever And Always

Chapter 12

I wake up early that morning planning on going to the mall to do some shopping. Its been 12 days since kian and I have had any communication at all and yes I am keeping track. He's such a n amazing person and to not have talked to him in almost two weeks is killing me.

I stopped trying four days ago when Allison suggested that he may not be answering because I'm coming off as too clingy or something along those lines.

I get dressed in some acid washed skinny jeans and a white crop top with a smiley face on it. I curl my hair then do my everyday make up.

I grab my phone and wallet and walk out the door. The entire way to the mall I can think about is getting home. Lately that's all I've wanted to do. That is the reason why I planned to go shopping today, so I could actually get out of the apartment and do something.

I find a parking space close to the mall which doesn't typically happen to me but I don't take the time to appreciate it I haven't taken the time to appreciate anything within the last two weeks. I guess kian not talking to me has put me in a slight depression. I don't know what happened the Braden that first moved here would've never let herself get this hung up on a guy.

But then I met kian and he became my best friend then I started liking him and now look where I am. I'm basically depressed because the guy won't talk to me.

I'm pathetic.

I push or try to push all thoughts of Kian out of the way. Today is for me. Just me. I'm going to spend the whole day by myself at the mall. Kian free.

I walk inside the mall and first go into Forever 21. I look at a few cute tops selecting only a few of the many ones that I liked. I also get some more shorts along with some pants. I pay for these items and move on. Next I go into Sephora.

I'm not really in need for more make up I have enough as it is already, but I'm the type of person that will go make up shopping every day and if I come across something that simply looks cool then I will feel the need for it.

I get a few different eyeliners, eye shadows and mascaras along with a huge variety of make up brushes half I don't even know what they're used for.

I don't know how its possible but after finally getting out of sephora and checking the time I realize I've spent 2 hours in that store alone along with an hour and a half in forever 21. So... By now I'm starving.

I head to the food court but stop abrubtly when I see a familiar face sitting with a group of people I don't recognize.

It was Kian. He turns his head probably just to look around but he stops when he sees me. We hold eye contact for about a minute before he turns back to what I'm guessing is his friends and pretends like he never saw me.

I feel a little hurt but mostly I'm angry.

"Braden?" I turn to see Daniel. I'm not really in the mood to see him. I actually never planned in seeing him again but he's already seen me so... Its too late.

I put on my best fake smile trying to hide both anger towards Kian and the annoyance of Daniels presence.

"Hey. What are you doing here?" I ask trying to make conversation.

"I was just wondering around. I didn't really have anything to do. Michael has work today so.. I'm kind if bored." He explains as we both walk towards an empty table. The only one that look clean happened to be only two away from Kian and his group, just my luck.

We sit and talk I can help but notice the glances I get from Kian from time to time. I also glance over myself at him and the slutty looking blonde that's all over him. Kian doesn't seem to enjoy her but doesn't push her away. I'm pretty sure its because he knows I'm watching.
