One Less Lonely Girl

Chapter 7.

Brennan's POV
God why am I such an idiot? I should've seen this coming. Of course she had a boyfriend, she's like the hottest person on this planet. Boys throw themselves at her.

I kept rambling on how stupid I was, admitting my love for Annie.

"Why dont we run away together" I mocked myself. How in the world did I thought that would be a good thing to say? I asked myself.

As I was walking home by myself, I suddenly heard someone shouted my name from the back.

I turned around and saw Caleb.

"Brennan!" he shouted as he rushed closer to me.

"Where are you going? I thought you wanted to hangout" he said as he reached near me.

I suddenly had a glitter of hope. I could still end up with her, I thought to myself. I just need to talk to Caleb, and see what he thinks.

"Yeah man. I was just getting some air" I responded back to him.

"Well cmon. We can hangout in my room" he said.

I chuckled. There is no way that I would go back to that house. After what had just happened.

"Why don't we go to the park or something? Its a lot healthier that way, we could breath some fresh air and talk about life" I suggested.

"Are you sure you don't wanna hangout indoors?" he asked. I just nodded a yes.

"Well, let's go then" he said as we walked together, to the park.

We arrived a few minutes later, and sat on a bench near the lake.

"Great weather we're having today" Caleb pointed out, and I agreed. It was absolutely wonderful.

We settled down on the bench and just chilled, before Caleb broke the ice. "So what's up? Why did you wanted hangout, like out of nowhere" he curiously asked.

I laid back and sighed "Liv and I broke up".

He didn't seem surprised. "I know" he said as he pats me on the back, trying to consolidate me.

I was confused. "How did you know?" I asked him.

"When I was on a da-" he mumbled before rephrasing his sentence. "I mean, when I was hanging out with Katie" he smirks. "Liv just showed up out of nowhere and joined us" he explained. "And well.. she told us what happened" he added.

"Oh really?" I raised my eyebrows as he nodded his head "Yeah".

"Its funny how that happened. I mean what are the chances" I chuckled.

"She said that you broke up with her" Caleb said. "You guys were so happy together. What made you do that?" he asked.

I thought about it, long and hard. Why did I do that? I asked myself.

Who am I kidding? I know exactly why I did that. Its because of this one girl, who stole my heart and never gave it back.

"Its because of An-" he cuts me off.

"Hey, isn't that Calum?" he confusingly said.

Great, that's the last person I ever wanna see.

Caleb's POV
So I was hanging out with Brennan in the park. He called me up and said that he wanted to hangout, and so I did.

We were talking about his breakup with Liv, when suddenly I saw a flash of who I thought was Calum.

"Hey, isn't that Calum?" I pointed towards him.

"Yeah I think so" he said with a rather annoyed tone.

I stood up and waved my hands, to get his attention. "What do you think he's doing here?" Brennan asked.

"Looks like he's jogging" I answered him, but not with much confidence.

Calum finally saw me and jogged straight to where Brennan and I was hanging out.

"What's up guys!" he stutters as he bent down on his knees, trying to catch his breath from all the running.

"Nothing much" I responded to him but Brennan didn't say anything.

I glared at Brennan, but he was having non of it. He looked like he was about to burst.

"What about you?" I asked him.

"I'm just trying to get fit again. You know. The food here in America is just so good. I've been eating so much that I literally gained like 5 pounds since I've moved here" he chuckles.

"You know what they say about the food here" I laughed along with him.

"So yeah, now I've started jogging here every morning. Trying to get fit again" he explained.

"Oh, I'm sorry for disturbing you" I apologized. "Its fine. But I am trying to reach my goal of 5 kilometers worth of jog" he excused himself.

"Well, see you around then" I waved goodbye at him. "Bye guys" he said as he continues jogging.

I sat back down on the bench, where Brennan was sitting. "Why didn't you say anything to him?" I asked.

He shook his head and angrily said "God I hate him so much!"

I was confused by his reaction. But as time goes on, I slowly realized what's going on.

"Wait a minute. You broke up with Liv, not because you didn't love her anymore. Its because of something else" I said to him but he didn't respond.

"You broke up with Liv because you're still in love with Annie" I finally cracked the code. "And that's why you are mad at Calum, because he is with her" I concluded.

He stared down on the ground for a while, and sighed. "Yes.." he stutters. "You're right".

"I'm hopelessly, still in love with her, Caleb" he said. "Whatever I do, I just can't seem to forget her. And seeing her with another guy, just kills me"

I gave him another pat on the back. "Look Brennan, I've known you for so long. I can't stand seeing you all miserable like this" I said to him.

"Well then, do me a favour" he mumbles. "Help me get-" I cut him off, yet again.

"Brennan, you're only making it worse for yourself. You gotta know when to stop" I tried to convince him to let her go.

"Don't say that man. You're dating my sister. How is that fair?" he objected. "If anything, you should help me" he added.

"Its different Brennan. Katie doesn't have a boyfriend" I said back to him.

He doesn't say anything back. Because there was nothing he could say that would make him look good.

He stood up and simply said "I'm gonna go home Caleb".

"Oh yeah and one more thing. Don't go out with Katie anymore!" he aggressively said.

I was left in shock. "Brennan, don't you see what she's doing to you?"

"You've changed man. As your friend, I say this right from the bottom of my heart, just let her go"

He didn't respond. Instead, he just walked away. Without saying goodbye.
