brandons pov:
i could see the hurt in her eyes. the tears starting to form. her mouth was slightly open as if she were to say something.
"peyton i'm sorr-"
"just be happy."
and with that she left. and there i was. sitting in the middle of a crowded restaurant filled with couples, friends, and families.
i put some money on the table for the drinks and left. i don't feel anything. i'm just numb.
i get into my car. i drove past the small grocery store where i met peyton. i looked at it and saw a girl. she was crying. it was peyton.
i just want to go home. i want to sleep. but at the same time i want to talk to her. i want to give her a hug and say "everything will work out. it'll all be okay."
i know what to do.
i get out of my car. i walk up to her.
"are you okay?" i ask
"i just have a lot on my mi-" she looks up and sees me.
"just go home brandon. i'm fine. don't worry about me. i want you to be happy."
"i can't be happy when you aren't. you have made me happy when i thought nothing but negative. you have made me laugh when i was just being a bum. i've never seen you like this. you have always been happy. it hurts me to see you like this. we can still be friends."
she slightly smiled. she hugged me.
"go home to hannah. if she makes you happy, be with her. i respect you and your choices. as long as you are happy i'm happy." i kissed the top of her head.
"need a ride home?"
"i guess."
i drove her to maci's house. she waved bye and i did the same.
i drove home. by home i mean hannah's apartment.
i walk in. "hannah im home" i yell. no answer.
i just sit down and watch tv.
about 20 minutes later. the door knob jiggles. the door opens and i see the one and only hannah with a tall man with brown hair. they were sucking each other's faces.
"well hello." i say. they turn to look at me. "what are you doing here?" hannah says nervously. "i thought you were out with someone?" she says fiddling with her long hair.
"i'm home now. but now i think i'm just gonna leave and let you cheat on me again even after i forgave you."
"brandon wait."
"no. just be happy."
