Brandon's Story

Chapter Eighteen

"Sometimes, when your thinking to forget your past, remember, your past will find you, no matter what you said or did."

INTO THE FUTURE

I was at the mall shopping for some shoes (preferably Nikes) when I bumped into someone.

She had eyes that I recognized. But why was she wearing a hoodie?

Then she said,"Sorry."

And then I gave her this grin. Talk about stupid. She probably thought I was a kidnapper or something.

She was staring at me trying to think....at least I think she was doing that.

She looked like I would disappear or at least say something else.

Then she started to smile and say,"Brandon?" 

How did she know me? 

Then I saw it she took off her hood at smiled! 

It was Nikki! 

She was back! 

I said,"Nikki?"

Yeah, looking back, I probably could have said something more interesting. What am I saying?

I probably could have said that I was Brandon instead of asking who she was.

Then she was in my face saying,"No stupid, I'm Kristie!"

What!?

She looked so much like Nikki... 

I just said,"oh..." and walked away. 

I just couldn't forget Nikki.

I was going to get married and MacKenzie is making me marry her!

No way Jose! 

I am never marrying her. 

In my thoughts, I accidently walked into the pharmacy place.

Then I bumped into someone and she just started picking up her stuff. I felt bad so I helped her.

I was thinking when the girl said,"Brandon?"

I so didn't want to get my hopes up again so I said,"Yeah?"

Then she looked a little sad then said,"It's me, Nikki." 

I just stared.

She said,"It's okay. I'm the one who was in WCD with you? You know I was there with MacKenzie, Theo, Marcus....."

She continued naming my classmates. 

Or at least the ones that used to be.

This is the best day ever! 

I started to help her but she seemed sad so I asked,"Are you okay?"

She had a sad smile on and she said,

"I'm married to Jason."
