A Run Back To Life

Chapter 2

Six months later

I woke up to a text message. Well more like a sound then an actual message. Anyways, Julies fell in love! I'm not talking about with every guy she sees on TV or a guy walking down the street. Jules fell in the love with Jase. I'm so happy for her.

Text Messages
Braxton: Good morning, sorry that I texted way to early but I am in China. I miss you even though I possibly just woke you up I'm sorry. So you must be 10 times prettier.
That is so sweet. Why in the world would I be mad? As sweet and cute that is I don't think that I could be mad.
Me: Awww...I know you are in China. If you weren't I would be with you. You always think I am pretty. I miss you more.
Oh Braxton and I aren't dating. We are just really really close. We always hang out and everything. Brax has been in China, Hawaii, Mexico, New England because him and his father had to take care of business.
Braxton: Ha ha ha. What are you doing?
Me: What's so funny? I'm getting out of bed to get dressed. What are you doing?
I am going to wear my sweat pants and one of Braxton's jerseys he let me wear awhile ago. Then I put on my favorite sweat shirt he let me wear like seven months ago.
Braxton: What are you wearing? I am laughing because my dad fell out of his seat on the plane.
Gee, didn't know guys cared so much of what a girl is wearing.
Me: Why do you want to know what I am wearing? Sitting on a plane must be boring. Hows your dads butt? Just kidding but that is funny.
I so miss Braxtons electric blue eyes, his brown hair, his scent. I just miss him.
Braxton: I'm just wondering. Just making sure your okay. Sitting on a plane is boring but talking to you isn't. I miss your humor.
Wow! Haha.
Me: Well I'm wearing sweat pants your jersey and your coat. You never asked for anything back! Its not like I would give it back but it could be worth a try.
Why is it every time I try not being weird I am! Maybe I am not but to me that is. I cant believe I just sent that to him.
Braxton: Hmmm...never asked for them back. That jacket looked 10 times better on you than me. The jersey on the other hand I let you wear. I forgot you even had it. You must be comfy. With my close on, you in your room must be nice. Are you uncomfortable with what you texted?
Why is it every time he knows how I feel its like we are linked. On the other hand, that'd be cool!
Me: I hesitated at first. I am comfy, but gosh darn you that isn't okay. When are you coming home?
He can sure make me uncomfortable. Its unbelievable how good he is at it.
Braxton: Mar Mar, I don't know. I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you. I love you and miss you.

End of texting

"Manda! Hey girl! You okay?" Jules says walking in my room. "I miss him. Braxton texted me, he had to go because of a meeting." I say with a mixed emotions. "It'll be okay. I can only stay for about an hour to an hour an a half. I have a date with Jase. Your going to be alright right?" She asks. "Oh yeah. Nothing to big." I say. "So whatcha doing tonight?" Jules asks. "Running a country why?" I say sarcastically. "Oh wow. Seriously what are you doing?" She asks more hesitantly. "Going to sleep. Having a date with my bed." I say winking. "Oh my gosh! Wow! This is why we are friends." Jules and I crack up laughing.
"What's so funny?" Nola and Kiara say together. "Didn't know that you were into your bed. I thought Braxton was bad." Jules  cracks up even more after Kiara said. "Braxton isn't that bad my bed is comfy. Just letting you know. My bed makes me happy." I say. "Happier then what my brother makes you?" Kiara asks. "They are a tie. No one says anything to no one because that was funnier then heck but not cool. Got it, deal?" I say. "Deal." They all say. We took a seat on my bed. Nola, Kiara, Jules, and I. Just sitting quietly. "This is weird." I say in a weird monotone voice. Then there came more laughter between us.
My phone went off again. Jules sat up straight looking for what ever the sound was coming from. "Wow! Hold up! Now Maranda Brisk who is texting you?! And why aren't you answering the person?" Jules says in a motherly way. "Sorry mom. The person made me mad. I don't wanna talk to the person." I say like a child. "Who's that person?" Nola asks. "A person." I say grabbing my phone. "Now you better read us those texts and now missy!" Jules says. I grown, I don't even wanna look.
