California Dream Part Two

Chapter 45

*Annie's PV*

"He beat your face up pretty badly," I say to Brian as I dab his face with a wet washcloth. "Does your nose hurt?" I ask.

"Yeah, but I think I'll make it," he says.

"I'm really sorry about him. I didn't think he'd come down here."

"Why didn't you think he'd come?"

"I just kind of thought he meant it when we broke up."

"I'd say he didn't. He was probably just mad at the time and anger took over his feelings."

"I think your nose is broken," I say lightly touching it with my finger. "I'm really sorry he did this."

"It's fine Annie. He was just protecting you."

"Why would he protect me from you though?" I ask.

"He doesn't know me. He's probably just scared to see you be with anyone else." He shrugs. "I don't really know if what we really had was anything but if it was why don't you just put it aside for now. If you go back to Kian I'd be fine with it and we could just pretend like it never happened. If you decide to leave him then just call me."

"I can't do that Brian."

"Why not?"

"Because when you say that it makes it seem like I'm using you."

"You're only using me if that's your intention."

His words stick in my mind as a knock on the door rattles in my ears.

"I'll be right back," I say. I get up from the floor and open the door.

"Caught the fish for you," Sam says as he nods his head toward Kian.

"We're calling him 'the fish' now?" I ask.

"I don't know I just thought of it," he laughs.

"Can we stop having a giggle fest already," Kian snaps. I roll my eyes.

"Bring him in," I say.

They come in and I close the door behind them.

"Where's Brian?" Sam asks.

"In here!" Brian calls.

"Uh do you mind taking him to the hospital? I think his nose is broken," I ask Sam.

"Yeah. Call me if you need anything," he says as he sets his stare on Kian.

Sam and Brian leave. Kian and I sit in the room alone now with a silence filling the large gap between us.

"Why did you do that to him?" I ask.

"He was kissing you."

"Yeah Kian. Last time I checked we broke up though. You called it quits."

"I know, I made a mistake though," he says.

"I get that, but before you go pounding on some guys face talk to me about it."

"Alright. I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize to me, apologize to Brian. You broke his nose not mine."

"Alright I will."

"So why are you here? I yelled at you over the phone earlier, did you really think I'd be fine with seeing you in person?" I question.

"I don't know. I just needed to see you. You wouldn't answer my calls so I came to talk to you face to face so you couldn't hang up on me."

"Maybe you should've taken the hint that I didn't want to talk to you."

"We needed to talk though. If I didn't come down here then we would've never made up."

"That's the point Kian! I'm tired of fighting then just making up like there was never even a problem. I'm sick and tired of the stupid fights that we have. I just want us to be happy.

I just want us to be married, but if we're going to keep fighting like this I don't want to make that commitment. That'd be like promising to constantly have fights with each other for the rest of our lives," I say.

"But that's just what makes us us Annie. We fight. We're a couple it's what we do. It's what people do in a relationship."

"Well then relationships are pretty fucked up things."

"Yes they are, but I've learned to live with that. I don't care if we fight though, just being with you and having happy moments with you makes me forget about all that shit. That's how you know that you've found that right person, even though you fight you still find plenty of happiness with them."

"Oh where'd you find that one, Tumblr?" I ask with a laugh.

"Nope that one came straight from my own head. They've got to find someone to make those cheesy love quotes," he laughs.

"Well I think your cheesy love quote might just be right."

"Really? I don't even remember what I said," he says with a goofy smile.

"Just shut up and kiss me already," I say with a smile.

His lips first softly brush mine. I lean in more and press my lips more firmly against his. It's like no other kiss I've shared with him. Blissful and perfect. I don't know how I could've ever thought that I could stay mad at the love of my life. He's my everything and I'm his everything, together we make each other's lives complete.
