Goodbye old hello new

Ugh. What do you want?

Chapter 2: Ugh. What do you want?

Brandon looked at me with pleading eyes. I scoffed and waltzed right past him to get inside. I felt a rug at my sleeve and saw Brandon pulling on it. I forced him to let go. His face was yes heartbreaking, but he lost my trust.

"Tay." He called out

"Yes?" I asked a little annoyed.

"I didn't mean what I said. You have to believe me. I would never do that." He pleaded

I looked at him and felt the tears forming in my eyes. I looked away fast and ran inside and walked into the room I would be using. Brenda told me where to find when we were in the car. I jumped onto the bed and pressed my face into a pillow. Tears started to fall freely.

I cried for an hour before finally falling asleep. The nightmares where awful.

Sirens blared and whistled in the wind through my window. I jumped and had sweat stuck to my face and back. Brenda ran into the room and came to the bed side.

"Are you ok?" She asked worried.

"Yeah. I'm fine." I said still breathless.

"Good. You were screaming bloody murder once the sirens started. I'm sorry." She said still not sure

"Don't be. It wasn't your fault." At that moment Brandon peeked his head into my room with concern on his face. I looked away not able to look at his still.

Brenda noticed and looked back to see the empty door frame. Realizing he was still there she looked at me with a smile.

"How about me and you skip school tomorrow and have a girls day? You look like you need one more day away from school." Brenda said

I smiled brightly and nodded vigorously. "Yes. That would be amazing. Thank you." I hugged Brenda tight in a loving embrace. She froze shocked from the sudden hug then relaxed and hug back. I felt sleepy all of a sudden and leaned my head in her shoulder. She pecked my forehead and leaned me back onto my bed. I slowly layed down and almost asleep when Brenda was leaving my room.

The shuffling of feet was easy to hear after it got silent. I was almost asleep when Brandon's voice pierced through the silence.

"What am I supposed to do? She hates me because of Josh. He did that because he likes her as well. And be couldn't stand that I was with her." Brandon said with hurt choking his words.

"I'm so sorry Brandon. But I think you should give her some space right now. She is going through a tough time and with all of your drama as well she won't be able to stand this at all." Brenda explained to him.

I felt the wetness before I noticed the sobs. Everything was silent when the loud sob broke the short pause of silence. Brandon looked in my room and saw the tear streaks running down my face. He slowly came to my bed and wiped them away. His hand lingered longer then needed and I didn't care. I leaned into him and grabbed his hand.

I looked at him in the eyes and said, "I am sorry." And more tears ran down my face as I shut my eyes.

"No. Don't be. I'm sorry." He said and lightly kissed my forehead.

I slowly moved away and layed back down and instantly fell asleep. The crying made me even more tired.

I woke up to the bed moving like someone was getting off. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Brandon walking towards the door. I tried not to laugh at the way he was walking but it was inevitable. A small giggle escaped my mouth and Brandon turned around. A smirk on my face made it clear I was up to see his little dance to the door.

"Good morning." Was all he could say.

"Good morning ballerina." I chuckled.

"You saw me leaving?" He asked sadly

"Umm. Isn't that obvious?" I asked still amused

"Sorry if I woke you." He responded sincerely.

"Its fine. I slept well last night. Thank you." I stated happily

Smiling like a fool he crept back into the bed. I smiled and fell back to sleep. He left a little after that since he had school today. Brenda and I were going to go shopping and have a girls day. She already called the school and explained to them what was going on. She called in sick for work and is staying home all day.

I got up an hour after Brandon left and got up to shower. A loud knock on the front door made me jump out of my skin. Brenda answered the door and let in Officer Rob.

"Good morning Brenda. How is Tay?" Rob asked sincerely concerned. He is such a great friend. He and Britney are amazing friends.

"She is getting better." Brenda answered.

Remembering that I needed to get ready I quickly got stuff to shower and made my way to the bathroom. The hot shower woke my body up and felt amazing. After my long shower Brenda was still talking to Officer Rob. I got dressed and wrapped my hair in a towel. Walking to the stairs I heard Officer Rob start talking again.

"So how is Brandon doing with all of this happening?" Taken back by that question I stopped and listened a little closer.

"I think he needs to get priorities straight. He really like this girl and he keeps messing up with her. He is letting his best friend call the shots practically. Did I tell you what Josh did to the poor girl?" Brenda asked like this was a gossip session. I really don't care though since this was important to Rob because he was me friend.

"No. What did he do?" He asked concerned about my well being.

"He made an argument with Brandon right in front of her that wasn't even true. She was still in the hospital at the time as well. So make that situation worse for both of them. I don't think that kid can come here for awhile. He supposedly liked Tay as well so he is going to try and get to her. I think of her as a daughter and if somebody is messing with her like that then I am going to step in and stop what is going on." Brenda exclaimed. Tears ran down my face as I ran down the stairs. I ran to Brenda and gave her a huge hug.

"Thank you Brenda." I said happily.

"Tay where you listening to the whole conversation?" Brenda asked

"Not the whole thing. Just what you just said and thank you. You just made my day." I said super happy.

"I'm glad. And what I said was true. I do think of you as one of my own. So if anything does happen you will tell me. Ok?" She said

"Yes, I will tell you don't worry." I told her

"That's the  thing. I worry all the time about you." She said holding me shoulders so she could look at me in the eyes.

A little after Officer Rob left we got ready to leave and started our shopping day.
