Rest Your Love

Chapter 10 - That weekend

                  

Thankfully it was the weekend, I was sad that Brad didn't reply to my message. I really wanted to talk about what happened yesterday with him and Tristan. Someone had sent me the link to the video and said that the fight was about me. I couldn't believe that Brad would hurt Tristan or even anyone for that matter over me. Was I really that special or something? It seemed like his bad boy image was finally starting to show.

It was now about lunch time, and I heard that my mom said Nate was going to be over at Brad's house to have a play date with his younger sister. I offered to take him over as it might have given me a chance to speak to him. While I was getting ready I didn't know whether or not to be happy or not, to be honest I was more scared than anything.

When I was finish getting ready I called Nate as it was time to get going. I held onto his hand as we started to walk to the Simpson's house. As we made our way there, I soon pressed the door bell and the door opened but, to my surprise it wasn't Brad it was his little sister Natalie.

"Hi Natalie, where's Brad?" I smiled as I asked her

"He's in his room" She spoke as she looked so sweet as ever

"Can I come in?" I looked at her and smiled softly, as she moved to the side to let me in

"Thank you" I smiled at her as Nate ran into the house to play with her, then I walked in closing the door behind me

"Natalie, do you think you can call your brother for me?" I asked as she yelled his name.

I then noticed him walking down the stairs with his messy hair and in a pair of grey joggers and a white t-shirt. He soon noticed that I was standing by the door and walked over to me.

"What are you doing here?" he asked rather in a harsh tone, almost like I wasn't allowed to be here

"I came to drop Nathan off to play with Natalie... and I was hoping maybe we could talk about what happened yesterday" I looked at him, feeling a little hurt inside

"Let's not talk about it, it was stupid, I was stupid" he looked up and into my eyes "I didn't mean to hurt Tristan but, he started it" he spoke with sad eyes

"But, you did end it" I mumble, hoping he didn't hear that

Brad just stood there, looking at me, almost like he was lost of words to say. Can it really be that bad? I mean I already heard that the fight was over me but, still I wanted to know the full story and why he was fighting over me. Overall it wasn't like we were like best friends or anything, or friends, actually I don't even know what we are.

"Look" he said taking a deep breath before speaking again "Tristan was just doing what he thought was right. He's a good friend and you're lucky to have him as a friend. Also knowing the good friend he is, he was just looking out for the best for you" he looked down for a moment and then bit his lip softly before looking back up "and I'm not good for you Jessica. If you know my story you're friends are actually trying to help you" He spoke with hurt in his words as it started to make me teary

"Brad please, just tell me" I said taking a deep breath "I need to know the truth, and I don't think having you and my friends fight all the time is a good thing. It makes me feel like I'm choosing between you or my friends and I don't want to make a choice. Please just tell me, I can handle it" I spoke the last part softly, knowing to myself I probably couldn't even handle the truth.

"I just feel like there is a need for you to know right now, I don't want to have to tell you. I don't want it to ruin your week...weekend, and besides you don't need trouble in your new life here" he spoke, trying to spare my feelings
