My Best Friend's Brother ↠ A BajanCanadian Fanfiction

Chapter 5 - You're Beautiful

Brianna's POV

The house went silent. Like a very awkward silence.

Amber just stood up, grabbed her purse and walked out of the door.

I didn't lose my best friend, because he was standing right beside me.

He was there for me when she wasn't, which honestly, was okay.

Brianna's Flashback (9th Grade 2008)

I realized what had happened to me. I was at a party and I started drinking.

I thought I wasn't wanted, until that night when a crowd of boys surrounded me.

All I felt were hands on my body, and pushed back into a room.

"No." I said and they still insisted. I finally snapped back into reality.

I became terrified.

"Get away from me!" No one heard over my voice.

I finally got out of their grasp on me by kicking someone, and I ran as fast as I could out the door.

The boys were trailing behind and I finally lost them by cutting between two houses.

I knew where I was, I was a few blocks away from Mitch's and Amber's house.

I called Amber. "Pick up the phone!" I screamed.

No answer. I didn't have Mitch's number because I felt awkward for asking for it. I just decided to run to their house. I knocked on their door. Their parents were out of town, and so were mine.

Amber answered it. "Did you get my call?!"

"Yeah, but I don't feel like talking. What's wrong with you?"

"Never mind...You can go back to doing whatever."

"Okay..?" And she closed the door and went back to doing whatever.

"I could climb into Mitch's window? I really need someone right now." I thought.

"Well, let's just do it." I climbed up the tree next to his window and slid it open, Mitch was sleeping.

"Mitch...Mitch wake up?"

"Huh? Oh...how in the hell did you get in?" He sat up, and he was shirtless.

"Window...I just needed someone to talk to."

He turned on his lamp beside his bed. "Does Amber know you are in here?"

"No..." I got up and locked his door so Amber can't come in.

"What's up?"

I didn't say anything; I burst into tears and tried to explain through my sobs. Then I started having a panic attack.

"Bri...you are fine now. No one will hurt you."

"I am...ju-just scarred that they will find m-me"

That's when he grabbed me and hugged me, and kissed me. I let go after a few seconds.

"Why did you do that?"

"I heard that if you are having a panic attack, if you hold your breath, it stops."

"I held my breath?" He nodded (A/N- If you are getting a reference here, I will love you forever.)
