Takedown for two

Chapter 24

I only said goodbye to one person when I left to go back to Texas and that was Blake.

Speaking of which, Blake and Brenna really hit it off. If I couldn't be happy at least they could be happy.

"Thanks for bringing me along!" Brenna said. "I really enjoyed it!"

"I'm glad! You and Blake seemed pretty close!" I stated.

From the corner of my eye I could see Brenna blushing next to me. We were on the plane with only about an hour or less left until we landed.

"I'm sorry... But he was just so.... so... I don't know. I can't explain it. I mean he was so nice to me and I just felt nervous around him, in a good way of course!" Brenna smiled. "I've never been nervous around a guy before, Blair!"

"So are you two dating, or just going to talk, or a one night thing?" I asked turning to look at her.

"Well he said he wanted to continue to talk, so we exchanged numbers. But we're not going to try and pursue a relationship right now. Were going to wait till after we graduate to see if this could go further."

Brenna looked extremely happy. There was even a glint in her eye that wasn't there before. I was glad that she was able to move on from Tyler, but I was also a little worried that Blake might just be a rebound.

"Hey Brenna?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't mean anything by asking this but your not just using Blake as a rebound right? Because he's a great guy and after everything that just happened..."

"Of course not!" She interrupted.

"When Blake and I talked he really understood and he was encouraging. I mean I was actually comfortable enough to open up about my art to him. Aside from you and my dad, Blake is the only one I've ever told about my art and attending art school. And we actually talked about him and Darren and Tyler and I. We agreed that this time would be good for us to get to know each other as friends and then once graduation rolled around and depending on how we were dealing with our past relationships that we would try becoming more than just friends."

"Well I'm glad to hear that! It sounds like a good idea!" I smiled.

"Yeah." Brenna had the goofiest smile on her face as if she was thinking about something.

"I hope you guys can work it out!"

"Yeah, me too!" Brenna said before turning to look out the plane window with a big smile on her face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pretty soon we were back in Texas and I was back to wrestling practice and school. The same, boring, unexciting, routine that I had come to be grateful for.

Kade had tried to text me a couple times, but I never bothered to look at what he had to say. Darren had attempted to call me and text me. At one point she even tried to FaceTime me. I just ignored it all, I didn't want to remember that night.

Or the following events.

Brett had been very over protective once we got back to Texas, if I wanted to go somewhere, I had to let him know where I would be and what time I would be home. It was actually so bad that I never even got to the point of telling him I was going somewhere unless it was Brennas house, school, or wrestling, because usually he just said no anyways. He wouldn't even let me go to the gym.

He would just say it's my punishment for getting drunk and "breaking in" at my old house. But I knew he was just scared something was going to happen to me. After my breakdown he's been trying to watch me like a hawk.
