Stockholm Syndrome

25. Whats Brandon hiding?

Brandon's P.O.V

"Um...guys?" I said.

"Yeah?" They said looking at me.

I looked down at my phone, then back at them. "I'm gonna go for a walk."

"I can go with you!" Tyler said walking over to me.

I backed away. "No. I wanna go by myself."

"Oh, okay." He said getting a sad look on his face.

"Sorry, Ty. Some other time." I said.

He nodded and walked back to where everyone else was. I grabbed my keys, and I put on my shoes. I walked out of the house, and walked to the park.

"Brandon!" She said.

"Hey babe." I said walking up to her and lifting her up and hugging her.

She kissed me. "I missed you!"

I smiled. "I had to get away from everyone."

She frowned. "I think you should tell them about us."

"But." I said putting her down.

"Please, Brandon? This has been going on for 3 months now." She said.

I sighed, "I'm scared though, babe. What if they don't like you?"

She smiled and put her arms around my neck and kissed me. "If they're your friends, they'd be happy for you."

I smiled and wrapped my arms around her waist, "Looks like we're going to tell them."

She smiled.

Alexis' P.O.V

"What's up with Brandon?" I asked.

Everyone shrugged.

"He's been really quiet lately." I said.

They nodded.

"I'm gonna text him." I said taking out my phone.

Alexis: Hey where r u?

Brandon: I told u im going 4 a walk!

Alexis:Ok but y r u acting weird?

Brandon: Huh? Im not acting weird

Alexis: Ya u r. What's up?

Brandon: Nothing Alexis! I'll c u later

Alexis: Fine. Bye

"What'd he say?" Luke asked.

I put my phone in my back pocket. "Wouldn't say."

He put his arm around me. "Don't worry. He'll tell us eventually."

I smiled.

*Later. 8 PM.

Brandon came home, and his hair was messed up a bit. It was just me and Luke. The rest of the guys crashed.

"Uh...Brandon?" I said.

"Why is your hair messed up?" Luke asked.

He fixed his hair. "I got caught in some trees."

"You're lying, Brandon. What happened? Where were you?" Luke asked.

"Um.." He yawned. "I'm tired. I'm gonna crash."

Then he ran upstairs.

I sighed and looked at Luke. "He's hiding something."

He nodded. "Definitely."
