Our Life With The Next Generation

This IS Me

Brynlee's POV

I was sitting on a bench outside when a voice says my name.

" Albus? Hey... " I say looking towards the direction of the lake.

" Do you---- "

" Hate Reya and Baylor with all my heart?? YES! I do. They big kids Albus. Don't be their owl. They can quit being cowards and talk to me themselves! " I tell him.

"Erm, There together now, and they say their sorry."

" Oh... Messenger... AGAIN. Sorry too? Oh boy. This changes EVERYTHING!!" I say faking a smile and taking in sarcasm.

"Brynlee, why are you acting like this? What's going on?"

" Acting like what Albus? I'm only acting like me, because this IS me. " I sigh.

"Are you sure? This is not the girl I fell in love with."

" Well then... I guess you aren't the guy I fell in love with. Cause that guy... Would accept me for who I am! " I stand up and stare at him.

"I didn't say that I didn't still love you, your just..... Different. But I still love you anyway."

" Yeah.... Ok.... You don't accept it though! You don't accept who I am! Not any more Albus. " I stand still staring at him.

"I'm trying! This just happened today you have to give me a minute to take it all in!"

" If it were you I would accept it in a heart beat! Cause you are still you and I am still me! " I yell.

"I do except you! And I'll still love you no matter what!"

" Yeah.... Maybe.... Maybe you should start acting like it. " I turn away from him and stare at the sky.

"I don't care what you look like, I like you for you, and this is not you. But I'm going to accept it! I'm trying!"

" See!! You just said ' this is not you!'!!! Gosh Albus!! THIS IS ME!!! GET USE TO IT!! " I yell feeling angry.

He shook his head "I'm trying Brynlee."

" Obviously you're not Al.... No one knows me anymore.... And I'm sick of it... Sick of all of it. I'm sick of my stupid brothers who couldn't give a crap about me or what I think. And I'm sick of Reya! I'm so sick of everything. " I say slowly sinking to the grass below me.

He walks over and sits down next to me "I wouldn't be here if I wasn't trying."

I take in a deep breath and lean my head on his shoulder. " I know.... I'm sorry.... You seem to be the only one that cares right now..."

"They do care. Reya was trying to talk to talk to you about it this morning, but you wouldn't let her talk."

" Why didn't she send you to me instead? That seems to be her thing. " I say. And as I say it Baylor comes into view.

"Because she wanted to talk to you herself! She's your best friend, you can't stay mad at her forever."

" Who says? " I say staring at Baylor with my eyes like daggers.

"Hey Bryn." Says Baylor sitting down in the other side of me.

" You are sitting dangerously close. " I warn.

He smiles a sad smile "Why are you so mad at us? And what did you do?!" He says looking at my hair.

" Really Baylor??? REALLY!? Well for one, YOU WENT ON A DATE WITH MY BEST FRIEND AND DIDN'T TELL ME!!!! And two, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME!! By the way, pink is my favorite color. Not blue. But I don't expect you to know that. But I know yours. It's green. " I yell in his face.

"Because we didn't know if it would work out and we didn't want to tell anyone yet! So what of I don't know your favorite color?! That doesn't mean anything!"

" Your favorite food, Hamburgers. Favorite sport, basketball. Favorite dog, boxer. Favorite animal, dog. What do you wanna be when you get out of here, auror. Favorite pass time, reading, playing basketball, or hanging out with your friends. I bet you know nothing about me anymore Baylor. I listen. I know a lot about you Bay. " I say.

" I know your mad at me and Reya. I know that you love Albus and always have. I know that you hate Alice. And that Lysander almost kissed you. Your mad and sad about Sam. And Riley is your favorite sibling right now. See I know a lot about you too."

" Whatever Baylor... " I sigh looking away from him.

"But it's true isn't it!"

" And you are becoming like Sam more and more you know that!?! " I yell at him, knowing he would yell back.

"How am I becoming like Sam? I didn't break your arm and then not even come to see you in the hospital wing!"

" No.... You didn't... But you didn't care enough to tell me you were going on a date with my best friend. You should've said, ' no Reya. She's my little sister and your best friend we need to tell her and see if she's ok with it ' I might've been if things didn't happen the way they did. That's how you are becoming like Sam. " I say standing up. " And you don't know me well enough to know that I hate you and Reya for this. "

"That's selfish, people make mistakes you shouldn't hate someone because they made a mistake, that one thing I've learned."

" How have you learned that?! " I ask.

"Because I've lost some good friends over something stupid that I did."

" What did you do? "

"Remember Tyler? Well I dated his twin sister for about a week and when we told him he was furious and he never forgave me, he was my best friend and I lost him because I made the stupid mistake of not asking him about it first. She later moved to Beauxbatons and He moved to Durmastrang and I never saw them again."

" So you just like to repeat history?? By not telling me about your date with Reya. Baylor I know a lot about you yet.... I know nothing at the same time... You have changed more than me. " I say standing up. " Because the Baylor that I knew would do anything to make sure I didn't get hurt... And if you would've asked me if I was ok with it then I would've said yes... "

"I'm sorry Bryn, but I don't understand why your hurt, if anyone should be hurt it's Reya."

" Really?? Really?? Baylor my best friend didn't tell me she was dating my brother! Instead she wanted ALBUS to tell me! Which he didn't! You or Reya should have told me as SOON as you guys decided to go on a date! And... If you don't think that's a reason to be hurt.... Then you are heartless... " And that was the last thing I said before walking away leaving him alone.
