When Worlds Collide ~ A PTX love story

Chapter 5

Bre Rush POV

A gentle stirring woke me up. My eyes fluttered open and they light burned them. A familiar face was seen in my vision. Caleb was sitting right there with a panicked look in his eyes. I'm sure I looked like a mess but that doesn't matter right now.

"Bre, um.... we have vistors...." Caleb said glancing to the front room. Oh shit, I look terrible. I shot out of bed and ran to my dresser. My heels I had not taken off were a burden on my ankles but I didn't care right now. I picked out an outfit and ran into the bathroom. I speed changed and got ready. The makeup was mostly all gone, I looked presentable. For just in case reasons though, I ran a makeup wipe around my face.

When I walked out of the bedroom, Caleb was facing the opposite way and twiddling with his thumbs. He heard me come and turned around.

"Are you ready to see who it is" He asked me. I shook my head. I wasn't ready. He didn't tell me and I really didn't want to ask. My hung my head low in disbelief. Caleb then walked towards me. He lifted my chin.

"Do you want me to hold your hand?" He asked nervously. I quickly nodded and extended my hand to his. Of course he took it without a doubt. "Bre, if you feel uncomfortable just tell me okay? I will make them leave if so."  I nodded and gave him a long hug before opening my door.

A wave of chatter flew into my face. There has been no more than 2 people in my apartment at the same time ever and usually it was just Caleb and I. I'm scared as hell if I have to admit it. Caleb led the way, he wasn't pulling me but he wasn't letting me drag behind either. He was walking at a pretty normal pace.

 Caleb turned the corner to my living room before I did and the chatter stopped. I ran up behind Caleb and hid behind him. Honestly I didn't want to see who was there.

"Caleb where's Bre...?" A pained voice called out. Caleb turned around and nodded at me. I nodded back. Caleb then led me into everyone's vision. There is so many people I don't know in my living room. So many. I started to freak out. Caleb probably noticed because he pulled me to his side and draped an arm around my shoulder.

"It's been way too long Bre." Some one said to my left in a pained voice. My head snapped in their direction.

There they were. The two people I never wanted to talk to again in my life without being embarrassed as hell. Breanna and Sam were sitting there. On my couch. In my apartment. Looking pained as hell. Breanna waved.

"Is it a bad time to drop-in and say hello?" She asked looking at the ground. They can't be here. No they can't. They hate me, why are they here???

"Who are these people? What are you doing in my apartment? Why are you here?" I kept asking questions. The strangers were looking at another trying to comprehend what's going on.

"Well.... we got a little tipsy at the club last night. But I was under so much stress so I started to vent. I told them about y'all not coming and we kind of hopped on a plane..... I don't know how we passed security that drunk but we did. And now we are hung over as hell in your apartment." Breanna said giving me a soft smile.

"Why did you drink?" I asked very madly at them. A boy I didn't know with the fringe scoffed. The blonde boy hit him in the arm.

The boy with the fringe started to talk. "Girl, don't tell me that you haven't been out for a night with your bitches! Drinking is fun!" Caleb pulled me in closer as to protect me. I don't know from what but he wanted to protect me for some reason. I started to get light headed.

"I never get invited to anything. As you see I am a music teacher at the local middle so I'm bound not to have friends. Caleb is my only friend and it takes a lot of convincing to even let me go get my mail. And if I do and someone even looks at me, I end up crying. So no. I have never gotten drunk before. May I add. I'm a virgin who has never had her first kiss and my mother is so disgraced she won't talk to me?" I yelled. A sudden realization filled my mind. "You guys are pranking me aren't you?? Hahhahaha jokes over! I KNOW I'M A FUCK-UP BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO REMIND ME EVEN MORE. Breanna, Sam, Caleb, and Aislyn were the only ones who made a life after my fuck-up but guess what? I didn't and there's nothing that is going to change that! I'm not going to join our shit band Stream so you guys can gain even more popularity. Everyone's going to remember I was the fuck-up and hate me. I'm. Not. Doing. Shit. Sorry." I yelled.

Caleb was freaking out. I don't think he was ever seen me be so mad about something before. All he has seen me do is cry. He got down on one knee and held both of my hands. I wasn't going down with him. Caleb got up and picked me up bridal style instead.

"All of you. Leave. NOW." He exclaimed.

"But Caleb.... At least let us try to talk to her." A person I didn't know said. There was a chorus of yeahs. He looked down at me.

"Let me talk to her in her room. Alone." He carried me into my room and laid me down gently on my bed. I sat up and patted the spot next to me. All he did was look back and forth. I don't think he understood. A wave finally made him sit down right next to me. I rested my head on his shoulder. "Bre.... Do you think you can do this?" He asked. I shrugged.

I answered him back. "Honestly I don't know Caleb. They came too quick. I didn't even have time to weight out the pro's and con's. I can't even think of one pro but I can think of a lot of con's. But if you made me answer right now, I would say confused." He placed a hand around my shoulder.

"I understand. But Bre, don't you ever but your self down like that again. I mean when we were out there. One friend is enough for anyone to be happy. A lot of people have no friends, family, or a roof over their head. I'm not saying that you're taking anything for granted either though. You are amazing, talented, and I'm sure you'll get your first kiss soon. I bet you're just waiting for the perfect guy and I'm positive he will come along." He said while bring me in closer to him.

I shook my head. "Caleb, I've been waiting. I'm Rapunzel stuck in my tower. I've never really lived Caleb. I'm not waiting for the perfect guy. I'm waiting for someone man enough to do so."

"Maybe it's just that the person is too scared to come up to a beautiful girl like you. Or they are scared because they don't know how to treat a women right. Or they think that you don't like them or you will be scared. It doesn't mean they don't like you or anything. Some guys are just wimps." He told me. I started to understand a little more but not enough.

I sighed. "Caleb... I don't talk to anyone but you. You're the only guy who knows anything about me, like seriously, how can they like me if I never talk?" He grabbed both of my hands and made me look him in the eyes.

"You are so much better than that. I'm sure they can tell you're an amazing person just by first glance. And maybe talking to only me, was all you ever needed." He said while looking into my eyes.

It all happened in a flash and at the same time people fell from eavesdropping around the door way and they freaked out. 

It all happened in a flash.
