A FEW WEEKS LATER:

I haven't been better.  Yes I lost the love of my life, but other than that, I'm great.  My birthday party is tonight, and nothing can go wrong, because everything is just normal. Which is something that I have always been immune to.

"Brandy this is such a crazy party!" I shouted over the music.

"I know right!" she shouted back.

Everyone was having fun and laughing.  Brandy got her older brother to dj the party, so it wasn't as expensive to throw the party.  We had beer, and drinks, and hot guys, more beer, it was pretty exciting!

"How did you pay for this?" I asked.

"I got help from someone!" she said back.

"From who?" 

"Mr. Farber."

What!?

"Mr. Farber?" I said.

"Yeah.  He somehow heard about the party and he said that you were his favorite student. Because of that he wanted to chip in."

"Wow" I said.

I was speechless.  Bryan helped pay for the party.  Bryan and I are completely over with eachother and he helped with the party.  Wow.

"Happy Birthday whore"

"What the hell are you doing here?" I yelled.

"I heard about the party.  This is something I'll tell yah.  I haven't been to one this big yet."

"Who said that you can come?" said Brandy.

"Me, myself, and I." 

"Maybe you should leave?" I told her.

"Why should I?  My cousin helped pay for the thing, I should be allowed to come."

God I hate Erica sometimes. 

"Nobody asked your cousin to pay," I told her.

"True, but how can he pass that oppurtunity up when the love of his life is having a birthday?" she said with a slick smile.

"What?" i asked.

"What are you talking about psycho?" Brandy said.

"You heard me.  I know all about you and my cousin.  Do you know that that is illegal?  He can go to jail if someone found out."

So this is why she is such a bitch towards me.  She knew about me and Bryan all along.

"What?  Tina wouldn't do that?" Brandy said.

"Wanna bet."

Brandy stood there for one moment.  I never did tell her about Bryan and I.  She looked at me in a confused and weird way.

"She's lying.  Right Tina?" she said.

I looked at her sincerely, without saying anything.

"Tina, tell me she is lying and not telling the truth."

"I am so sorry Brandy."

Brandy's whole mood went from upbeat partying to lowdown and depressive.  

"How could you?" she said.

"I didn't mean for it to get as serious as it did."

"You are my best friend and never, not once even thought to tell me about this!?" she exclaimed.

"I had to keep it a secret Brandy!"

"So I had to hear this shit from Erica!?"

"I did not know that she knew!"

"Bullshit Tina!"

The loud music still continued to echo throughout the room.  Are exchanging of words did not exactly fit well in this atmosphere.  Brandy looked at me once more with hurtful and almost deceived eyes.  

"I can't stay here.  I've got to go."

Brandy moved her way through the crowded house and out of sight.  I tried to call after her but no response was echoing back.  I looked at Erica who was still standing in front of me.  I should of killed this bitch a long time ago when I had the chance.

"Why Erica?  What did I ever do to deserve this?"

She did not answer, just nearly acknowledged me.

"It's over with now Erica.  Bryan and I are no longer together."

"Don't try to play me as a fool.  I know you two still love eachother.  Just because you run around town with Trace does not mean shit in my eyes."

I looked at her with complete disgust.

"Whatever Erica.  You can stay if you like, but don't do anything stupid."

I needed to go find Brandy and try to talk to her.  I need to apologize, explain to her everything that has happened.

"I already did," Erica said.

"What are you talking about?" I said.

"You'll see."

With that she completely left the party.  Little bitch.  I walked outside to get some air. 

"Oh god.  WHY?" I asked myself.

"Your life turned that miserable that you are talking to yourself now?" said a voice from somewhere in the dark.

"Who's there?" I asked.

"Oh come on.  You don't recognize me."

A boy came through the bushes with a hoodie on.  I couldn't see who it was.

"No I definately can't see you," I said.

He came closer and closer to me.

"Oh come on.  We had such good times cutie."

"Cutie?" I said.

Oh shit.
