Meeting Again

CHAPTER 12

*DEVON MCKNIGHT*

William left like thirty minutes ago. I was still comprehending what he just said. Did he just said that we will have a date?!

Oh my gosh. A date with William Fox!  I bet girls would like to pay me millions just to take this position.

I was still feeling all excited when Brandon's face flashed into my mind. He's alone right now, but I think he's maids will be there, I bet he called them already. The thought of him still bothers hame. So to be sure, I'm not worried or anything. I'm just going to check on him because I feel responsible of his injury.

I tiptoed my way into the front door, it's open. I looked at the living room, no one was there. I checked the kitchen, no one was there too. Then I heard a 'splash'. The swimming pool, Maybe he's drowning. Oh my gosh. I ran to the backyard, I found a huge, and elegantly designed pool. So much for details, where is he. I looked everywhere, no one was there. I saw his wheelchair, then my eyes instantly looked at the pool. He was there, I think he's not breathing.

"Brandon!" I said, but he's still not answering. Not even a single bubble showed up. What if he collapsed, that's why he fell from his wheelchair. I didn't think anymore but instead jumped into the pool.

I saw him under the pool, he's gorgeous, I mean he's eyes are closed. I grabbed his arms trying to pull him up, but he's too heavy. Then suddenly I was being pulled down. I opened my eyes. Brandon is smirking.

This idiot, he's a real idiot. Before I could go up to catch some breath, he pulled me again, and then kissed me. He was breathing inside me,I was pulling him away from me but failed because my strength was drained and found myself breathing with him.

I didn't know that you can actually breath under the water this long through kissing. So much for discovery, This is taking too long, I can't break off with his arms wrapped around my body. I was starting to give in again, every time he do this thing to me, I can't seem to resist him. But this is so not right. So I took all my strength to pull him off. I rise to the surface. He followed.

"What are you doing?" I can't help but shout at him. To my surprise, he didn't answer and didn't even bother to look at me. He went to the opposite direction, I'm soaking wet here.

I grabbed him,.. once again it took all my strength to make him face me. He's still not looking at me.

"What is wrong with you Brandon, Why are you doing this to me?" I can't help but ask.

"It's your fault." My mouth dropped open.

"Why is it my fault?" I said. We were still in the pool.

"Because.." He's hesitating.

"Because what?"

"Because you went with him!" Now he's yelling at me.

"Who? William?" I'm yelling too.

"Who else would it be?"

"I don't understand you." I started to walk pass through him to go out in the pool. This is nonsense.

"Because I'm jealous!" He blurted it out that made me stop and looked back at him. Now I'm facing his back.

"What?" I said, now with a soft tone.

"Are you deaf?" He turned to face me. "I said I'm jealous! I'm mad that you walked pass through me to catch William instead of staying here with me!" He said straight into my eyes.

"I don't know what to say." I am so confused.

"You were always like that!"

"What do you mean?"

"When we were kids, you're always nice to other people, but you're so cold towards me!" What? He remembered?!

"You.."

"Yes, I remember you, Devon Mcknight."

I was so shocked; he actually remembered me, and now accusing me of being mean to him?

"Me mean? Look who's talking. Who is the one who bullied me until the day that you went to another state?" he looked at me, confused. "Yes, it's you. You're the one who bullied me everyday, you pull my hair, you took my dolls, and you hid my notebooks..."

"I was..." I looked at him. "I was at the age where I bully the girl that I like." He confessed, he's facing the pool. I think he's shy.

"That's bull shit Brandon." I exclaimed.

"What? I don't know how to tell you back then."

"Really? Fine, let's just say that I understand you, but what about now? Why did you lie to me? Don't tell me you're still at the age where you 'lie' to the girl you like?"

"That.." I didn't let him explain.

"And what about this?" I showed him the bracelet that I found in the place where he fell. He didn't talk. "So my theory is right. You do know how important this bracelet to me, and yet you lied to my face, and stole it."

"I did not stole it."

"Cut it off  Brandon, I'm done with your lies." I left him. He didn't stop this time.

I went home soaking wet. The girls looked worried when they saw me, they didn't asked, but after I took a bath, they went to my room, and hugged me with out saying anything. They know that I'm not ready to tell them yet. So I just cried.

*BRANDON WALTER*

Stupid, stupid, stupid! I'm so stupid! Ahh. I can't stop her because, she was right. I lied to her face.

I made my way out to the pool. I manage to climb up to my wheel chair. I didn't know why I did jump to the pool. And I didn't know why I confess to her. Like I said I'm so stupid!

I went to my temporary room in the first floor, I took a shower and changed clothes. I can't sleep. Her crying face is still on my mind. I just had an idea, maybe it's also stupid, but I will take the risk.

I called out my driver to take me to River Valley.
