My Best Friend's Brother (Completed)

Chapter 34

Anthony's POV

I wish Maggie wouldn't tell me the day that she was getting married. For some reason, I felt horrible. My stomach is churning, it felt like the feeling right before you went down a roller coaster.

I didn't wanna feel like this. I felt stupid. And then I remembered I had a wonderful girlfriend. She was so sweet and kind. And I loved her a lot.

But I feel like I never would love her as much as I loved Marissa. I hate to think that, I hate that that's inside of my head. But I feel like I'll never be able to give Evelyn 100%. Or anybody else for that matter.

It's been driving me crazy this past week. Wondering what the weddings going to be like. Wondering what the guys like.

Maggie has randomly texted me, letting me know what's going on. I don't reply. But I know she knows I'm seeing them. I wish she wouldn't send them, but at the same time, I'm grateful that she does.

She continues to tell me how happy Marissa is. How excited Marissa is for this wedding. And it makes me happy inside. Knowing that she's got that happiness. Knowing that she's no longer upset.

I know she's happy with the guy, but I wish she was happy with me.

I wish I wouldn't make the mistake that I did. But I did, and I look at my life now. And see all of the things that I've done.

I'm a much happier person now. I have my life a lot more figured out. I wish I could just forget Marissa though. Forget all of the feelings, forget everything.

I'm heading home. Heading back to Evelyn. I went to go pick us up some dinner. From our favorite restaurant.

I looked next to me, a crazy driver pulled up next to me. I hate the people that I drive in this state. They're psychotic. They don't care about anybody but themselves. I'm going about 65, and he flies past me. Easily going 90. Possibly 100.

The aggravation sets in, wondering what these people think as they drive. How they feel. Why do they drive like that?

And then I go back to Marissa. Thinking about her. For the one second that I take my eyes off the road, to close my eyes, to think about her.

The second goes longer than I wish it would have. Thinking about her.

I hear a horn, multiple horns after the second.

I open my eyes and see bright lights.

And then nothing, just darkness.

Marissa's POV

It was 11 PM, and Maggie and I were about to head to bed. I wanted to go to bed earlier, but for some reason, my mind would not let me go to sleep. At around 10, Maggie, who is more tired than me, just decided to give me some melatonin.

She didn't wanna go to sleep before me, in case I got more jitters. But I was getting more sleepy by the second. The melatonin had set in.

I laid back in bed, looking up at the ceiling. Maggie, who was half asleep in the next bed, had her eyes open and close every few seconds.

She was trying to stay awake for my sake, but I knew she was exhausted.

Before I could shut my eyes, and go into a deep sleep, Maggie's phone rang. Both of our eyes shot open, and then we looked at each other.

Who would be calling at 11 PM? Not even the spam calls are calling this late. Maggie sat up from the bed and grabbed her phone. She looks confused as if it was an unknown number.

She answered the phone and started to speak. I was wondering who was calling her. After a few seconds, Maggie gasped.

She let out a loud shriek. And before I knew it, she was crying. Tons of confusion were hitting my head. I walked over to her and sat down next to her. She dropped the phone on the ground, the second that the phone call ended.
