Chapter 5

Kalani P.O.V
I grabbed down underneath my desk to pick up my backpack. "Hey Kalani" I looked up to see Brice, an attractive guy in my medicines class. "Hey Brice what's up?" I looked up and smiled. He looked down and blushed. "Um I wanted to ask you... I was wondering. A group of friends are grabbing food on Friday and I was wondering if you could go" I slightly smiled
"Oh Brice, I'm sorry, I have plans" I felt bad for lying but I really wasn't interested in going out with him, he looked disappointed. "Oh no it's fine. Have a great rest of the day Kalani" he nodded his head at me "you too Brice". I grabbed my books and stood up out of my chair. Grabbing my phone out of my purse. Of course to check my messages. Nothing new, which is weird because Brandon usually texts me back fast. I know he's had class today so maybe his phone is dead. I walked across campus and back to my dorm room. I walked down the hallway to our door. I reached my free hand into my purse to roam around for my keys. Of course, I'm forever doing that. I've really got to get myself one of those keychain clips that clip onto jeans. I closed the door behind me slinging my keys on the desk. I flopped down on my bed, tired from studying so late but getting up so early. I have to check in with our drum major to see if we have sectionals or not. I put my thumb on the home button, unlocking my phone. I gave the command to Siri to call the drum major. She answered on the first ring "hello?" "Hey, what time are mellophone Sectional's?" "You do not have a sectional today. You do have one tomorrow though. Be here by 5." "Thank you" I clicked the end call button and tossed my phone to the side. I felt my eyes grow heavier and heavier.
*skips 2 hours*
I felt a heavy weight on me. I tried to move but couldn't do it, realizing that the weight was too much. A voice started to surface out of the weight. "Kalani..." I heard a whisper. I opened my eyes to see Brandon on top of me dog piling. I grabbed the pillow from behind my head and attempted to smack him with it. We both laughed when he caught it. "Okay, I'm up, I'm up, Brandon get off of me now please" I commanded still tired. He rolled over on the side nearest the wall. We layed side by side. "You're not supposed to be here. I don't look presentable and I probably have bad breathe" I said chuckling. "It doesn't bother me, it's just sleep". I was quiet for a moment. "How was your day?" I asked him he sighed looking at me. "Stressful, running all over campus doing classes and then I had to take care of some press stuff." He said. I looked him in the eyes. I scooted over closer to him to the point where our faces were inches away. I whispered to him "it's always crazy, I have a question" "yeah" he said still whispering. "How did you get into my dorm room?" he laughed out loud "you didn't know Ashlee was here? I called her to ask about you because you weren't picking up your phone and she said that you were asleep here. I wanted to check up on you and hang out with you. I know you've been stressed with class and all." I nodded. "Brandon..." I whispered. "Yeah" he replied. "Thanks for being there for me. You're the best guy friend a girl could ask for..." I whispered. "Thanks". He replied. I couldn't tell him what I really felt despite what the girls told me. I couldn't fall for him. I'm not ready for this.  My heart wanted him, but my head said no. What if he gets taken away from me too? What if I'm not enough in the end? I scooted closer to him. His left arm was out. I laid my head on his arm and began to close my eyes again.

I began to open my eyes. I blinked acouple times. What time was it? I noticed Brandon was still laying next to me. He looked so perfect when he slept. Stop!!!! Get your act together. You're not ready for this!! I kept thinking these thoughts to myself. I want to let him in I'm just so scared. He was perfect and always treated me right but it pained me to sometimes see Kasim in him even though there isn't any physical resemblance. He isn't Kasim, therefore, I should stop comparing him to Kasim. It's been 3 years and I'm better than ever but it's been so hard sometimes. I sat up in my bed and swung my legs off of the side of the bed. I made my way towards the bathroom. I did my business and pulled my pants up. I looked into the mirror. Looking at my features. I'm the spitting image of my mother. That makes me sick to my stomach. Why do I have to have moms trait when Alliya look like daddy. Daddy said I was blessed. He said that before mom left though. Now he doesn't talk about mom. He can hardly look at Kalena. He reminds her too much of Mom.

*flashback*
I sat in my room, looking at the wall. I heard a yells coming from the kitchen. It suddenly got quiet and then I heard a slam of a door. The front door. It slammed so hard it felt as if the whole house shook.
*end of flashback*

I opened the bathroom door. Brandon was still sleeping. I walked over and sat ontop of him trying to tickle him. "Wake up sleeping beauty." I said in his ear messing with him. He just laid there. "Brandon" I shook him. Suddenly I felt him move underneath of me "ahhhh" he growled as he rolled over ontop of me pinning my arms back. "Ive been up since you got up to go to the bathroom" "I kneed him in the stomach. A weird noise came out of his mouth. Suddenly the door opened and Ashlee and Christian walked in. "Woah!" Ashlee said " is everyone fully clothed?" She asked. I got off of Brandon. "We weren't doing anything" I said walking over to the door. "Aha." Ashlee said not so convinced. "We were just wrestling and tickling " Brandon said "alright" Christian said. "Hey what time is it?" Brandon asked. Ashlee looked down at her phone "10:32" "damn best friend, our nap was so lit we slept for 5 hours" I yawned. "Still tired" I said. "Alright well imma let you go back to sleep". "I'm not coming back to the house with you?" I asked. "Not tonight I gotta clean up a little". "Well goodnight" I said to Brandon giving him a hug. "Goodnight Kal" he said. He walked down the hall but turned with Christian and I went back into the room with Ashlee. "So what really happened" Ashlee asked closing the door behind her. "Nothing, we took a nap and wrestled" I said. "Alright, well, I had practice today so I'm tired"
