Something more♡

Chapter five

I woke up with a pounding headache. My face was still moist with all the tears and all the bad thoughts. I was at Brendon's house. Last night after Toni fell unconscious, I couldn't stay there especially after what he did and the mental state of mind he was in, so Brendon took me along to his house even-though I didn't want to be a burden on him.

After I woke up I just sat there and flew threw my thoughts whilst staring at the plain white ceiling.

After a good ten minutes I decided to get up and face the day although I was frightened to go home or meet Toni.

As I began to walk towards the door, I almost tripped over as I was lost in my own thoughts, I banged in to the wardrobe and a box fell from the top, it was a wooden box and 'memories' was carved on the top, and the box was covered in dust, it looked as if it had been there untouched for a very long time which was strange as Brendon had said that he only moved to San Francisco just over a month ago.

Without thinking I undid the lock and opened the box. Even though I knew it was wrong to invade into Brendon's privacy.

There were many pictures from which many looked like they were from Brendon's childhood and early teen years, I have to admit he did look really cute. There was a picture of Brendon and I from when we were at college together and for some reason there was a love heart drawn around us, it was cute but extremely strange.

After a few minutes I had looked through all the pictures and there was only one left. It was of Brendon probably around fifteen or sixteen years old. And with him was another boy, who looked strangely like Toni. The same light brown hair, tanned skin, perfect jawline, chiseled cheekbones and grey eyes. I had seen pictures of teenage Toni many times and the boy with Brendon was definitely Toni.

I turned the picture around and at the back there was writing. It was handwritten and it read 'me and my best mate Toni the stupid pony at my birthday party.'

What?! I was so confused. Toni and Brendon already knew each other before I met either of them. And they hid it from me. They acted as if they didn't know each-other when I first introduced them to one another when Toni and I first began dating.

Brendon was one of my closest friends in college and Toni... Well he's my boyfriend. At Least I thought so.

I heard knocks on the rooms door so I quickly threw the picture back in the box and put the box back on top of the wardrobe, as I had just done so Brendon walked in, he had a small smile on his face. A sympathetic smile.

"Hey, I thought you were still asleep so I didn't bother you. How are you feeling?" Brendon spoke quietly.

"I'm feeling okay. Okay as I could ever be." I said whilst smiling.

I wanted to question him. But I didn't have the heart to hear anything that I wouldn't want to hear. I've had a miserable life and I don't want to hear something that'll add to my misery.

"Well thats good. Erm come down to the kitchen, I'm half way through preparing breakfast." Brendon responded.

"Oh okay." I whispered back whilst I was dying on the inside. I wanted answers to the questions lurking around my mind.

*********

I had spent the day at Brendon's house whilst he was at work, it was my day off of work. Usually I relax and cherish my days off but how could I? My boyfriend was going mental towards me in a bad way. Whilst one of my closest friends was hiding something from me. Something big. There was something more to everything.

I heard Brendon walking in the front door "hey Andrea, you here?" Brendon shouted from the hallway.

"I'm in the living room." I answered.
