Bad Start! Worse Ending

Fight!

🔸Brody🔸
I can't believe I actually let her do the dare. I can't believe she accepted the dare!! For three days Jake has been trying to find out what happened and so has Jason. So far he hasn't got angry but I can tell he will soon.
"Oy! Brody come here." A familiar voice came behind me. Jake sauntered up to me grinning. "Apparently Jason is going out on a rage trying to find out if anything happened. Did something happen?"
I shook my head, I'm not telling him. He is a big gossip. Maybe worse than girls. Actually that makes me sound sexist. I know many girls who aren't gossips.
Jake kept staring at me until finally the bell went and he gave up trying. I cleared my head of thoughts ready for P.E. This is one of my favourite lessons, only because I'm actually good at it. Plus it gets me more attention from the girls. Well, when we have that lesson with them anyway. Which is quite rare.
After getting changed and hiding some poor kids clothing, the lads and I headed for the gym. As we walked in, low giggles and squeals cascaded around the room. We had P.E. with the girls! That means Tara is hiding amongst the sea of the other gender somewhere. Jason is also in here which could get awkward, but hopefully Tara has taken care of that problem.
"So today we are having a mixed lesson," coach Ray gestures his hand to all of us, "We are going to play a bit of dodgeball! Now let's get you into teams."
I finally saw Tara standing with Mia (her best friend) and Nicole her other best friend. None of them looked like they would be friends. Mia has short purple hair that's been cut into a bob and she wears purple and blue clothes quite a lot. Nichole is complete opposite she has middle length blonde hair and she wears pinks and short skirts. She also has quite a chest compared to Mia! Tara is in between them both. Her long brown hair falls down her back to the top of her skinny jeans. She doesn't show much chest but you can defiantly see she has one. Tara also wears different coloured clothing everyday. Again they are all quite different.
Interrupting my thoughts a loud ring of the whistle fills the gym. My group is good. Myself, Jake and Jason are in this time with Mia and Nichole. They helped the girls team win in a tournament last year. But Tara is on the other side; she is also great. Her long, tanned .... No! I can't keep thinking of her! She is my friends girl. And plus I've never, ever liked a girl before. Yes, I have been out with a fair share of them and kissed loads - but never have I liked them. I don't think I ever will until I'm thirty. Suddenly a ball flew past my face. Tara laughed and cried as she had nearly hit me. Glaring at her, I ran for the nearest ball only for it to be trapped by Jason. He stares at me as I straightened up and he straightens too. Our stare down didn't last long because Jason threw a fist at my stomach. Defending myself a right hooked him round the jaw making him fall back. All eyes met us in the gym. Hollers and shouting began around us. Girls were screaming their chosen "winners" name, squealing afterwards. The ringing in my ears blocked the noise out and my mind focused on Jason. He threw another hit at me, I ducked and kicked him before Jason could touch me. Another body then entered my focus, Tara had came between us. Her eyes full of fear, sadness and what looked like confusion? She knelt down next to her injured boyfriend before looking back up at me. Before I could say something Coach Ray dragged me off to Mr Fletcher - the headteacher - office. I'm gonna get suspended for a few days meaning getting grounded for at least two months!

My head was down most if the night doing homework and studying. My Mum made me revise maths and chemistry loads tonight for at least four hours. Although this was so bring it wasn't the worst part of the night. At around eight o'clock I heard shouting coming from down stairs. Most of the words I heard was "cheater", "slut" and "two faced". I'd never heard my parents argue like this before. They argue a bit about how late one of them stays out but make up a few minutes later. So I thought any minute now they will be kissing and hugging. Ewww! Half an hour later they are still shouting. At twenty to nine my Dad storms upstairs an into their room. The door bangs downstairs as Mum flees. I'm closer to her, I think as I run out into the street. My head spins as I can't see her. She has ran before when she has gotten stressed or upset. Lucky this time I saw Michelle (Tara's mum) wave me over. Michelle and Mum were best friends before we left. They had been friends since school and it's amazing they still are very close. Entering the living room she lay on the sofa in tears leaving black lines down her cheek. Her swollen eyes looked up at me when I sit down. Pulling her up into a hug she cries into my shoulder. My anger boils up into my fists as I try not to go back to the house and hurt my dad.

🔹Tara🔹
The commotion is both upstairs and downstairs at the moment. Jason is raging at me, going on about Brody and the dare; then downstairs someone was crying hysterically. I couldn't hear what had happened but I knew it was to do with Karen Fisher.
"Tara! Are you even listening to me?!" Jason screamed at me. I'm trying to ignore him so I don't cry. He has never shouted at me before never like this. Looking up at him I hold back a tear and nod.
"Can you please get out." I try to be strong but a tear escapes. I get up and push him downstairs. Come on Tara you can do this. When I get to the living room, I see a muscular figure teddy bear hugging Karen. It's Brody this will not go well If he sees us.
"He is always over here!" Jason screamed pointing at Brody. I shoved him harder towards the hallway but this time he didn't move. Brody finally got up and his face had anger and pain written all over it.
"Shut the fuck up Jason! I'm here for my Mum. Not for Tara!" He was in punching distance now and he kept getting closer. I have to do something they can't fight in my house or anywhere. My Mum came to the side of Brody and tried to calm him down. He wasn't listening, Brody looked dangerous at the moment.
Stepping in between the two boys I placed my hand on their chests, "Guys just stop please. Neither of you have to do anything or get angry. I took the dare and kissed Brody!" I cried, tears came down my face as I looked at them. Jason pushed my hand away and gave us both one last glare before storming out the house. My hands were now trembling and my eyes swollen from tears. He left me. His never going to come back to me. Brody relaxed a bit and looked over to me, he tried not to meet my eye. His green eyes shone with anger and sorrow as he finally looked at me.
"Tara, Brody go upstairs please and I'll bring you something to eat." Mum said quietly. She looked confused and almost heartbroken. We walked up the stairs in silence. Our breathing heavy as we entered my room. Brody was the first to break the silence, "Tara I'm so sorry! I swear i didn't want any of this. I came to the house for my Mum. I didn't know he was here! Please forgive me?" His face looked small and fragile. Not mature an happy like normal. Brody definitely meant what he said I could see it.
"Don't worry. I kissed you so it's me who is in the wrong. And I know you were here for your Mum. It's me who should apologise." He stared at me in shock. Don't so anything Tara, do not hug him! I have to he looks so sad. Slowly I wrapped my arms around his waist an pressed my head onto his chest. The muscles around him were big and made me felt protected. Brody put his arms around me and pulled me in tighter, his hands stayed on the arch of my back. Time stopped I felt whole and unbroken in his arms. I shouldn't though. I still love Jason - not the boy I'm hugging.

Mia text me most the night asking if I was okay. She found out from a friend that Jason had had a go at me and left the house. Mia really is my best friend and always cares for me. She asked if she could come over but with Karen and Brody staying there isn't a lot of room. Even though she knew I wasn't happy she still made jokes about Brody and I. I love her for making me happy!
I also got texts from a few of Jason friends including Jake who said that he took everything too seriously.
Dinner was very quiet that night well apart from Troy who cried most the night. Jason had woken him up with all the souring. Plus the Twins had gone to their friends house. So it was just Mum, Dad, Karen, Brody, Troy and myself.
Brody and I got left downstairs after eleven when they all went to bed. Dad got kicked into my room since Mum and Karen shared their room. Yes I could've slept in Tia and Tammy's room but they are allowed to have a lock on their door! So whilst I slept on the couch Brody slept below me on the hard floor. We talked and laughed for a while but I fell asleep quite fast. Luckily it's Friday night so I have all the weekend to figure out what is happening with my relationship. And we need to see where Karen is going to live. We've said it'll be close so Brody can still go to the same school and they said to see me. Both of us laughed at the second part. Like he would want to see me!! I drifted slowly to sleep. I was having a great dream. You know, we're nothing goes wrong and everything is perfect. This lead to be woken up three hours later at half three in the morning! A text came through to my phone: Jason.
