I slept for a good two hours and got into my outside clothes again. As I walked down stairs with my hair in knots and a loud yawn I looked side to side checking if mum had arrived, but no not yet, so I was technically alone. I still thought about Brandon because I really do miss talking to him and I really want another good hug from him right now. Thinking about Brandon made me look out the window but he still wasn't there, will he ever be there waiting for me? Thinking about that question made me have doubts in my mind because I just know that someone that I made sad would never want to see me again. I started to kick the air slowly as I walked to the dining table. I checked every minute to check if Brandon would be standing there waiting for me but he just wasn't. I totally gave up, because I knew that he didn't like me as a friend anymore and that there's no chance. I started to draw on the table with my finger saying "B+B?" Meaning Brandon and I "Bella" unfortunately with a question mark. After ten minutes this time I looked out the window again. He was there looking around. I ran out the door and called out " Brandon!" He looked at me and this time he smiled a bit. Without thinking I hugged him and he hugged me back. My heart pumped for a moment but it started to calm down and I leaned my head against his shoulder. It was good having him with me again. I had let go of him and said "sorry for leaving you just like that, I should've told you and I should've minded my own business"
He smiled at me " It's okay, but I'm ready to tell you if you'd just keep it to yourself"
" Of course, that's what best friends do right?"
As I Said "best friends" he stopped talking and stared at me he was coming closer to me and I knew I just had something wrong, but instead he lifted me off my feet and spun me around.
" Wow. I didn't know that you'd like me" he smiled
I smiled back
Anyway he started to tell me what the thing was, he started to bring tears up and I started to worry, he said "My uncle who I spent all my life with died this morning"
I was so upset to hear this, even though I haven't seen his uncle or any of his relatives before. I gave him a hug and surprisingly a kiss on the cheek. I mean it probably didn't mean anything to him but it did to me. I grabbed his hand and decided to bring him to my house. We sat on my bed and I started to give him company. He stopped his tears from coming out and smiled at me saying " Thank you" with his hand on top of mine. He laid his head back onto my bed and I put my feet up and folded my legs looking at him. He looked up to the ceiling and I looked up as well.
"Come closer Bella, lean on me" he said
I decided to put my head on his chest it felt awkward at the start but I started to feel more comfortable. Mum was still out but I felt really good with Brandon already. We started to talk about thing like school, art and sport. As we were talking I got up. After a while Brandon had to leave to go back home because his parents would be wondering where he was. I walked with him downstairs and out the door. I gave him one last hug of the day and before we had let go of each other he whispered " I'll miss you through the night"
"I will too" I said back blushing
