Chapter 22: Patching Things Up

BRANDON'S POV

The next day, I showered and got dressed, styling my hair. I walked downstairs and grabbed my keys, unlocking the front door.

"Where are you going?" my mom asked. I turned around as I opened the door.

"Oh, I'm going to go meet up with Alex," I said, jingling my keys.

"Okay, love you," she said, hugging me and walking into the living room. I left the house and got in my car, driving to the nearest Starbucks. I ordered and sat at a table, waiting for her to walk in. I was halfway done with my coffee by the time she came into the shop. She ordered and found where I was sitting, sitting across from me.

"Sorry I'm late, my dad and brother wouldn't let me leave," she giggled, taking a sip of her coffee.

"No problem, my mom had to know where I was going before I left," I chuckled, not taking my eyes off of my coffee.

"Brandon, what happened to us? How did we just... go downhill so quickly?" she asked. I shook my head and rubbed the back of my head, not knowing what to say.

"I-I don't know Alex, I just want to go back when shit was easier, honestly."

"Well, maybe we could just start over," she shrugged with a smile.

"Hopefully," I said, taking another sip of my coffee.

"So, should we start by moving in together again?" she asked and I nodded.

"Today's Friday so...  Monday?" I suggested and she nodded in agreement. "So, are we together now or..."

"I say yes but..." 

"I say yes too," I smiled, happy we were actually getting somewhere. I got out of my seat and slid next to her, wrapping my arm around her. "I never stopped loving you Alexandra," I mumbled into her hair.

"Same here Brandon," she said, wrapping her arms around my torso. We pulled away just so we could look into each other's faces. Before I knew it, our lips were connected. She wrapped her arms around my neck to deepen the kiss. We pulled away for air and I smiled at her, hugging her again.

"You don't know how much I missed your lips," I said as I lightly kissed her neck.

"You don't know how much I missed you," she giggled, letting her arms fall to my hips.

"Anyway, I better get going, I have other shit I have to take care of," I chuckled nervously, standing up. "I kinda lashed out on Ethan so I've gotta fix that," I said and she just giggled. "Anyway, I love you," I said as I walked out the door with her.

"I love you too," she smiled, pecking my lips and walking to her car. I climbed into my car and drove to the nearest park, pulling out my phone. I scrolled through my contacts until I found Ethan's contact, clicking on him. I just stared at the number, not able to bring myself to call him. I bit my lip, took a deep breath and started to call him. I put the phone up to my ear, but hung up after the first ring. I did that three times, getting more pissed off at myself each time.

I finally decided to call him from a private number, which made it a little easier. I took slow deep breaths as it rang. With each ring, my heart beat a little faster and my stomach twisted a little bit more.

"Hello?" I heard his voice after the fourth ring.

"E-Ethan. I-It's Brandon," I stuttered.

"Oh...hey," he said awkwardly.
