When Worlds Collide ~ A PTX love story

Chapter 3

Bre Rush POV

"And we are going to be their opening act!" Breanna screamed into the phone after explaining everything. I dropped my phone and the case saved it from shattering. What. No. I can't perform. Not after last time. I picked up my phone off the floor and started to speak into it.

"Yeah.... um.... I will have to get back to you later...." I said hanging up the phone. My phone dropped from my hand yet again and I slid my back down against the wall. I sat on the hard floor and began to cry. My body shook and I called my one and only friend Caleb.

After a few rings he answered. "Caleb....." I mumbled in tears. He quickly noticed something was wrong and said that he would be right over. My ribs shook and my chest wheezed. In minutes, my door was busted open. Caleb had a key for just incase reasons. I heard his heavy footsteps on the floor until he found me in my kitchen. Caleb ran over to me and pulled me into his lap. He knew how to calm me down after years of doing so.

"Bre.... I know... Shhh... It's going to be alright. If you don't want to I won't either..." He whispered in my ear while rocking me back and forth. Apparently, Breanna had called him too. My sobs grew weaker and weaker until they turned into mere hiccups. Caleb was the sweetest guy I knew and he always was there for me. If he was working on a house and I needed help, he would be there in a flash. He knew when I was happy and sad. I would tell him every detail of my day and he would listen. He was a great best friend.

"Caleb, I don't want to... Well I want to.... but I can't. I will just mess everyone up again." I hiccuped into his chest.

"Bre, it will all be okay..... you'll be okay..... if you can't I won't. I'm not doing it without you." He whispered into my ear. I smiled against his chest and his rocking eased into a still picture of him holding me against his chest in his lap.

"Caleb, should we do it?" I asked him looking up towards his eyes. He made a weird panicked face and I realized I worded that wrong. "I mean like the concert....." He looked back down at me with his hazel eyes and smiled.

"My answer is the same as yours no matter what." Caleb told me reassuringly. This is why Caleb is my best friend.

After awhile of him holding me on my kitchen floor, he helped me get up and walk me to my bedroom. Caleb then helped me into bed and took my hand into his. He lifted my chin with his right hand.

"Hey," He spoke to me. "It's going to be alright." I nodded and cupped my left hand around his face.

"Thank you Caleb.... I'll see you soon." He smiled and let go of my hand. He sat up and walked out of my bedroom door. When I thought he was gone, he peeked his head into the door frame and looked me in the eye.

"Hey, I'll pick you up from work tomorrow and we will get some Japanese, okay?" He asked. I shook my head. His smile turned upside down and he looked rejected.

"Let's try something new Japanese is getting boring." I smiled. Caleb grew happier and nodded.

"Sounds okay with me, it's good you're making a change Bre. I'm proud of you. I'll see you tomorrow." He waved goodbye and I heard the front door close then lock. I set my alarm so I could get up for my job at school. Then, I turned my light off and drifted into a deep sleep.

The constant beep of my alarm clock woke up from my dreamland. I moaned and rolled off the bed into the floor. My hand hit the off button on the alarm. Since I live alone I just threw my clothes off in my room and walked into the bathroom. The water was just right once I turned it on so I hopped in.

Like everyone else I started to think of smart ideas in the shower that I would soon forget later. I could make Caleb go  and they replace me? No, Caleb wouldn't go without me. I could tell them I lost my voice and I sing terribly now? I could say I'm tone deaf and can't harmonize worth a shit? So many options.....
