Meeting Again

CHAPTER 13

*BRANDON WALTER*

It was raining hard on the way to River Valley, but I didn't care. All that I think about is how to make Devon accept my apology. I called Mr. Brown for her new address. It was pretty close to the school.

We parked in front of the house; I can see a light in one of the rooms. It was still pouring rain. I struggled my way to their house, cause I didn't brought my wheelchair, I thought that it would just bother me, but I guess I was wrong.

"Mr. Walter, where are you going?" The Driver said.

"Just stay here." He didn't bother to argue with me. I walked in front of her house.

"Devon!" I shouted. I saw some people peaked from the window with the lights on. After some minutes, somebody opened the door, it wasn't her. It's Mizzy Ronaldson and Edhen Smith. Their eyes were angry.

"What are you doing here?" Mizzy said raising her eyebrow.

"Let me guess you're the one who made Devon cry." Ehden said with her neck moving left and right.

"Look I'm sorry but can you at least let me explain." I begged them.

"Why would we do that, we won't let you do anything to make her cry again." Mizzy said.

"I didn't mean to make her cry, can you please just call her to come down?" I won't give up.

They stared at each other and went up stairs.

*DEVON MCKNIGHT*

What am I going to do, Brandon is here. My friends went down to chase him away, I hope they did.

They came back after minutes, I released a sigh.

"Did he go away?" I asked.

"He was asking for a chance Dev," Edhen said.

"Yeah, and I can see in his eyes that he was really sorry." Mizzy added.

"I don't know what to do." I cried.

I heard Brandon shouted again.

"Devon, please, just let me explain myself." I peaked a little, he was soaking wet in the rain, without his wheelchair. "Ok fine ...I'm sorry." He said, now his voice was soft, but loud enough to make me hear it.

"Dev, just face him, and talk it over." Edhen said.

"Where's Pat when you need her." Mizzy grumbled. Yeah where is she, she should know what to do in this kind of situation.

"Dev, please, I'm sorry." Brandon said.

I don't want to face him, but his out there and his soaking wet, he might catch a cold or something.

I was about to go out when I heard a car horn. It's Patricia's car. I heard her saying 'what are you doing here?' Brandon didn't answer. 'oh okay I know now, let's go inside I'll talk to her'. I rolled my eyes, so much for knowing what to do.

Then I heard a stomping feel going up. She stormed herself into my room.

"What are you still doing here?" Her hands are on her waist.

"I don't want to face him." I pouted.

"com'on don't be such a baby Dev. I know you wanted to talk to him and clear things out." She said, I looked at Mizzy and Edhen, they just nodded.

"Fine, but I won't promise anything."

"Just go, we we'll be here waiting for you, whatever decision you will make." They assured me. I smiled before I went down.

I saw Brandon, he's facing the floor. I can see that he's waiting anxiously.  

"What do you want from me?" I asked crossed arms.

"Dev," He tried to stand, for a second I got scared that he might fall, but he manages to stand. "I'm sorry, look I know I was stupid but back then I don't know how to show you my true feelings,.." He looked at me with his sorry eyes. "And about the bracelet, I was so sad that I have to move, and I can't do anything, so I took your bracelet cause I know that it is special to you, so I want to at least take care of it in your behalf."

"You.."

"I know I'm stupid, and I'm sorry for that." He looked down, before looking at me.

"Is that true?"

"Yes of course." He said and nodded. He was like a kid.

"fine." His eyes popped open. I threw him a towel. He smiled.

"Really. I mean you forgive me?"

"Yeah, but I still hate you for kissing me three times." I said.

"I couldn't help myself, you always look like seducing me." My  mouth dropped open again.

"Me?" that was all that I could say.

"Yeah, you are." He smirked.

"Don't you dare lie to me again."

"I'm just kidding sorry." He chuckled. I rolled my eyes, he still managed to joke while he's still hanging on a cliff. Jerk.

"whatever, but about your feelings." I looked at him, now he's eyes are serious, waiting for my answer. "I don't know ...I don't know how to answer you." I am still confused.

"I know, I'm not going to force you, I will give you time." He said, and smiled softly.

It felt awkward so. "You can come out now." I shouted so that the girls can come out to where they were hiding. I know they can't help but listen.

They went out from the staircase, with a big grin on their faces.

"Congratulations." Pat said and hugged Brandon, not minding that he is wet.

"ah thanks, I guess." Brandon said not knowing what to say.

"Yehey, now that your friends, we should throw a celebration." Mizzy said.

"Yeah, we should, but first you have to change your clothes before you catch a cold." Edhen said.

"Yeah about that, I brought clothes, it's in the car." My eyes raised at him? What did he mean that he brought clothes; did he expect this to happen? "Well, we travelled really late so I was thinking of staying at a motel and wait for the morning to come...to be safe." He said, like he just read my mind.

He changed his clothes, and he called out the driver to go to a nearby hotel. We can't afford another person in the house. We don't have any spare rooms. We ordered pizza, they prepared sodas.

Brandon was filled with questions especially from Pat. Like 'how did you get rich like that?' 'You've changed a lot' stuff like that.

"I'm sorry about lying to you guys." He said then looked at Pat, because when they met at the school, he also pretended not to know her.

"Nah, it's no big, I know you always had a cr.."

I stopped her before she blurted out something stupid. "Yeah, and I think it's late like it's already midnight. We still have work tomorrow."

Pat tried to object, but everyone to agree to me. The girls decided to sleep on one room, and they decided on Patricia's. I don't know why, but they said we haven't done sleepovers like ages. I rolled my eyes, we are living in one roof but I gave in because I miss them too. I admit I've been busy these days. Brandon slept in my room. I object but they all gang up on me

The day has been so exhausting that I passed out immediately.
