I turned around slowly, afraid to even look. I turned around and saw the one and only. Brandon. I looked over at Maddi and noticed she was about to pounce on him, so I grabbed her and held her back. Brandon kept walking towards us cautiously. I stood there holding Maddi just waited to see how this all played out since I hadn’t spoken to him in over a month. “Lo I know you’re pissed off and I’m the last person you’d ever want to talk to, but can you just give me five minutes? Please.” I was so far beyond pissed off. You’re probably wondering who this Brandon character is and why I hate him and I’m currently holding my best friend back from killing him. Brandon is my gorgeous ex-boyfriend who might as well be Taylor Lautners twin brother. Before you judge me on breaking up with Taylor Lautner’s look alike, let me tell you why were no longer together.
FLASHBACK.
Brandon and I met my freshman year through my brother, they were on the football team together. Landon had a party one night and Brandon waltzed right up to me, gave me a cheesy pick up line, and two minutes later he had my number and I had a date Saturday night. We hit off immediately and four dates later I was his girlfriend. We dated up until a month ago. So a little less than two years. Anyways about a month ago Landon threw his beginning of summer party. Around midnight Brandon finally showed up apologizing saying he was off with his brother. I believed him and we had fun until about two when Landon kicked everyone out. I asked Brandon to spend the night since I wasn’t tired and I just wanted to spend alone time with him. I don’t know how or why I let him talk me into sleeping with him that night, but I did. I was caught up in the moment and I was in love with him. At the time, it was the best night of my life. Giving my virginity up to the perfect guy. I just didn’t know what a rude awakening I was in for when I woke up.
I woke up happy and blissful with the guy I was in love with lying next to me. It was truly a perfect morning. When Brandon left to go home I took a shower and decided to get ready for the day. About a half an hour later I went downstairs and I stopped dead in my tracks at the sight before me. Brandon was sitting on the couch with Spencer and Frankie on each side of him, glaring. My brother was blocking the entry out of the family room and Maddi was standing next to him, so I knew something was going on since they were next to each other without fighting. “What’s going on?” No one answered me, and Brandon wouldn’t even look up. “SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT’S GOING ON!” I didn’t mean to yell at all of them but I was frustrated. Right then my other two best friends Leah and Jenna came in dragging my best friend since diapers, Melanie, by her hair. “LEAH! JENNA! STOP IT YOU’RE HURTING HER!” I saw Melanie crying and went to go help her when Maddi grabbed me and told me to stay away from her. I just stood there confused.
“Will someone please tell me why it looks like we are on the set of Jerry Springer?” Everyone turned to look at me, except Melanie who looked down crying. I looked over at Brandon and it was the first time he made eye contact with me since I’d been downstairs. He was crying and he NEVER cried. “Lo, sweetheart. Brandon slept with Melanie last night.” I looked at Spencer in disbelief. “That’s impossible Spencer. Brandon spent the night here after the party.” I thought this was some kind of joke and then I noticed that Brandon was squirming in his seat. “Did he happen to tell you where he was before the party?” “Yeah he was with his brother.” Everyone one gave me sympathetic looks. “Right Brandon…” He didn’t answer and instead just said, “I’m so sorry Lo.” I just stood there dumbfound. “Melanie, tell me there joking.” She just looked at the ground. After another minute of just silence it all hit me. “YOU CAME TO MY HOUSE AFTER FUCKING MY BEST FRIEND AND CONVINCED ME TO GIVE YOU VIRGINITY?!?!?” I think after the word virginity my brother snapped into pissed off mode and lunged at Brandon. I couldn’t even yell at him to stop, I was still trying to process everything. Then Melanie’s screaming cut into my thinking. “GET OF OFF HIM LANDON, YOU’RE HURTING HIM.” Then it hit me. Melanie’s crying was fake, just like her friendship. I decided to approach this situation calmly instead of acting like a fool and giving them something to talk about. “Landon stop beating Brandon.” Landon jumped got off of Brandon, reluctantly. “Melanie you have five seconds to run before I bash your plastic, botox invested face into the wall.” She ran the second I finished talking. Bitch. “And as for you Brandon, were over. Here’s your ring and I’ll have someone bring you your stuff and get mine. I don’t want to ever speak to you again.” I threw his ring at him and went upstairs ignoring him crying out my name.
