Brandon's POV
"Mom.."
"Fine." Finally.
Mom accepted my relationship with Linda. Dad is still against it but as long as I have mom's support....
"Thank you so much!" I hugged her tightly.
"Invite her to dinner sometime."
"I will." I laughed running upstairs.
Linda's POV
"Linda... This is the third time tonight."
"I'm sorry I woke you up." I apologized.
"What's wrong sweetie?"
"Nothing. I need some fresh air. I'm taking a walk." I said.
"Sweetie it's two in the morning."
"I'll be back. If I'm not back after an hour you can worry." I said putting on my tracksuit and sneakers.
"Besides, this is the safest place." I told mom seeing her worry herself.
"Be safe."
................................
So Melissa and her kids convinced dad to kill me huh? I'll show them. Now Casey's gone forever. I won't ever hear her laugh, gossip or yell.
I started tearing up.
"I won't see her again!" I screamed getting in my old car.
I drove past the gas station.
Don't do it Linda. This is not you.
They wanted me dead! They killed my best friend. ALL PF THEM WILL PAY!!
.........................
"LA. Thank goodness you're safe."
"Daniel? What are you doing here?"
"Your mom called me." He said making me feel the urge to roll my eyes. He hugged me tight.
"As you can see I'm fine." I giggled.
"Why do you smell like petrol?"
Daniel asked.
"Uh...my car...yes. My car broke down and when I checked it, it leaked petrol." I laughed.
"I can't believe you drove a car
that leaked petrol! Do you know the dangers!?" He yelled.
"I'm sorry. I bet mom ruined your sleep huh?" I asked and he nodded.
"Let's watch a movie then."
"Aren't you going to work today?"
"Nah. I resigned." I shrugged my shoulders getting inside the house.
"What!?" Mom yelled from upstairs. Her hearing!
"It was for the best mom." I said making popcorn for me and Daniel.
Mom suddenly joined us to watch the movie.
It was so awkward especially with Daniel placing me between his legs. Man. I'm dating Brandon. Daniel is just a friend.
Or is he?
We were laughing at the movie when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"This early? Who could it be?" Mom asked strolling towards the door.
The door roughly opened and mom was pushed aside harshly.
"What the..."
"Linda!" Dad?
"What are you doing here!? And why are you screaming my name!?" I shouted at the same pitch he was yelling.
"Did you do it!?" Dad asked and I froze.
"Linda. What is he talking about?" Mom asked curiously.
"I'll ask you again Linda! DID.YOU.DO.IT!?" He asked again his voice still high.
"Yes I did."
"What did you do LA?"
I breathed heavily scared. This cannot be.
