***ONE MONTH LATER***

"Hey babe?" I hear Brett yell. "Yeah?" I ask. "Come down here please!" He yelled back up.

I was on my bed going through Instagram while he was downstairs doing who knows what.

I shoved my phone in my back pocket and jogged downstairs. I slowed down when I saw Brett sitting on the couch. He was deep in thought and it kind of scared me. "Brett?" I asked getting his attention. He looked up and smiled a small sad smile, "What?" I asked; my stomach now on the floor, my heart was about to beat out of my chest before he even said anything. "Come sit down, you'll want to." He said and I hesitantly sat down next to him.

He stood up slowly and started pacing slowly in front of me.

It was silent other than his footsteps and my heartbeat for a good five minutes or so until I couldn't take it anymore. "What did you wanna talk about Brett?!" I almost yelled. "Promise not to kill me?" He asked and I nodded slowly, "I promise." I said and he nodded. "We need a break." He spat out quickly. I froze up, I didn't know what to do. I let his words sink in...'We. Need. A. Break?'

Once I realized what I said I was broken. I couldn't hear my heart anymore, everything froze...except my tears. They flowed down my face...but I don't cry so I covered it up with my other emotion that was begging to take over my body; anger. So I let it. I stood up and stormed towards him. "Fine! You want a break?! Then let's take a break! Let's take a break from our relationships! All of them! I won't speak to you for a long time! Because that's what a break is right?! Not wanting the person anymore but still needing them! I thought you loved me! You remember what I said about you being my oxygen?! Well this is just you killing me even further-" my voice broke and the tears threatens to spill. I ran to the garage and threw on my helmet. I jumped on my bike and sped out of the driveway, my engine drowning out Brett's calls for me to come back.

I pulled into Lizzy's driveway and killed the engine. I jumped off and sprinted up to her front door. I rang the doorbell nonstop until someone answered.

Someone opened the door and I looked at them. It was her brother Abel, "Hey Lizzy's up in her room-" he said but I cut him off before he could continue.

He was just wearing black joggers and damn...he had a glo up. He used to be that weird adopted brother of Lizzy's but now...damn. He. Was. Smokin. He was ripped.

Fuck am I staring?

I glanced away and he chuckled. I looked back at him and he was checking me out.

I don't know what took over my mind but the next thing I know my lips were on his and his hands were on my ass

I don't know what took over my mind but the next thing I know my lips were on his and his hands were on my ass. I moaned as he squeezed. He guided me inside without breaking the kiss while I kicked the door closed.

We were both so focused on the kids we didn't even hear someone coming down the stairs.

"OH MY GOD!" I hear Lizzy yell. I tear away from Abel and look at Lizzy.

She looked stunned and honestly I was too...slightly, I mean I was a player before I met Brett why wouldn't I be after?

"Hey, I can explain..." I said trailing off. "You have thirty seconds." She said and I nodded, "Well, Brett said we needed a break so I was fucked up in the head. I went off on him and came to my best friend for support. Well you didn't answer but your smokin' shirtless brother did so I saw the chance to hoe out and I took it." I explained quickly and she nodded processing this information. "Okay. First of all; I'm gunna rip his fucking guys out. And two; EW!" She said and I laughed. "Emotional support still needed?" She asked and I smiled and nodded. She came over to where I was still standing next to Abel who's hand was in my back pocket.

She flicked him in the middle of the forehead and punched his arm that was in my back pocket and he recoiled. She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the kitchen where she grabbed two tubs of ice cream and handed me one then we went upstairs to her room and watched The Vampire Diaries.

•••

We were currently on our who knows what tub of ice cream and still watching The Vampire Diaries. I looked over at her and smiled, "Thank you." I said and she smiled; understanding. "Anytime." She said and I smiled again laying my head on her lap and turning so I could see the TV.
