Welcome To My World

XIX-Brian Goes Rogue

Me, Alfred, Jack, Harry, Brian and Pearl had been talking for about three hours and I was starting to get pissed off. Everything was a huge mess, that started because Brian left a WhatsApp group. Brian was attacking Pearl, Jack and Alfred, while I talked to Brian through a private chat, to the three of them trough the group and to Harry through another private chat.
Things were really getting out of track, but if you want to understand, I'll have to tell you what happened in the past week.

I had been thinking a lot about when I talked to Jack about me hating Pearl, but I still hadn't done anything about it. The only times that we really talked were when we were around Alfred and Jack. Besides that, we didn't, until...
"Daniel, why do you hate me?" She asked, when our last class of the week had ended.
"Well, huh, it's a little hard to explain." I said
"Well, then you will explain on Monday."
"Okay, I will"
"Oh, really, you will? It isn't hard to explain, she's a lying manipulative bitch who's trying to steal you everything! You should just kill her." That was another thing that wasn't getting out of my head. I kept having this annoying voice talking to me, and I really hated it. I ignored it again while I tried to figure out a way to tell that to Pearl.
When Monday arrived, I wasn't really ready to talk, so I avoided her during the first break.
But then, when I saw that she didn't seem to want to talk to me either, I stood up and asked her if she wanted to talk.
"Yes, I do. Do you remember the question I made you last week?"
"How could I forget."
"Ok. You still haven't answered."
"Well, I think that I hate you because you are...a little...annoying. I mean, no offense, but you also lie a little bit."
"Yeah, I know that I'm annoying, but I think that we should try to be friends."
"That's what I was going to say. For Jack."
"Yeah" She said "For Jack."
After that talk, we used to hang around more regularly, but on Friday, me and Alfred had a great idea. We hadn't seen "The Beauty and the Beast" and it was in the cinema, so we invited Pearl and Jack to watch the movie with us. I didn't invite Brian because he would feel uncomfortable with Pearl.
I had to ask my mother's help to buy the tickets and other stuff, but besides that, I did most of the things.
I was the last one to arrive and nobody was there, when suddenly I felt something hitting my back.
"What the...Jack, you scared the crap outta me! Jesus Christ!"
"I know. Well, I have to admit, you've made some progress with Pearl."
"Really?"
"Yes, I couldn't believe my eyes when you texted me saying that you had invited her!"
"Yeah, that's great progress." Alfred said
I really wasn't paying attention to the conversation because when they appeared all of a sudden, they triggered my social anxiety. And I had my conscience there to make me nervous.
"You're supposed to shake hands or something like that when your friends' parents arrive. You can't just ignore them. Isn't that one of them looking at you? They must be thinking that you are sooo rude."
"Bitch, stop overreacting." I said, before I kept ignoring it.
We liked the movie, I sat next to Pearl and Jack. I thought that Jack was in Little Space, because he was acting really strange.
After the movie, we just talked about our plans to the future, like we hadn't talked for a long time. There was also a part that I didn't enjoy. There were something secrets that we knew about Brian, and they told Pearl everything, even knowing that Brian hated her.
When they went away, I wasn't so much nervous, so I was able to say goodbye.
It looked like everything was going fine until Monday. I spent the first break with Brian.
"You know what? I telling Alfred to go to hell. I hate all of them so much. Pearl's a bitch, Alfred's a hypocrite and Jack has serious issues. Remember Friday, when Alfred told you that he hated to see Pearl and Jack together and if you needed help with a plan he would be there for you? Right know, he's hanging out with them, like nothing happened."
"Brian, calm down, Alfred probably didn't mean it."
"Of course he meant it, you're just saying that because you are lacking personality to admit that you also hate them."
"But I don't."
"Of course you don't...You know what?I'm not being their friend anymore, you'll see."
I didn't really believe him, he was always saying that. When I arrived to class, I found out that Connor was going to Church Conversion Therapy and that Pearl had came out to Charles.
I didn't think that there was going to happen anything else until Brian left that WhatsApp group.
J:Why did Brian leave?
D: I think that he's done with you
J:What do you mean?
D: I think that he can't stand this anymore.
J: Oh, great, all my friends are getting tired of my crap one by one
D: It's not you, it's... Pearl. I think that he's tired of getting left out
A:I think Daniel's right. Maybe he thinks we switched him for Pearl. Or maybe he discovered that we told Pearl his secrets.
D: I still think that you shouldn't have done that. A secret is a secret. Right Jack? Maybe he's just tired of your crap.
I read the texts I sent again and it looked like I was being a jerk, so I decided to apologize.
D: Ok, sorry Jack and Alfred, I'll try talking to him
I was just a little mad about what happened Saturday, it kinda looked like Brian was being stabbed in the back. But Pearl is our friend and it's a little bit rude if we keep secrets from her. Sorry if I said something wrong, I'll try talking to him
Meanwhile, I was playing question game with Harry and I asked a question.
D: What's the closest person you have to a caregiver?
H: At half past nine I'll give you a code. Crack it and find it.
Then, at half past nine, he gave me a code and an anagram to solve. That really annoyed me, but I really wanted to know the answer.
I was also talking to Brian, while I showed him what was happening in the group. I sent him some screenshots of the texts on the group, so he could understand what he was doing. I was almost going to sleep when I got a message from Brian
B: I sent to the bitch the screenshots where she called me names. Sorry
Almost immediately after that, I got a text from Pearl.
P: Can you explain. I was able to see who sent him the screenshots
D: I was trying to make him realize what he was doing. What do you think that I was doing?
P: I'm sorry, but I don't really trust you
I invited her to see a movie, I bought her ticket, I tried to be nicer and she didn't trust me! That made me pissed off, but what happened next was really annoying.
Alfred and Jack started blaming themselves for Brian leaving the group, then Brian told them that they had serious mental illnesses and that they needed a psychiatrist, then Jack started arguing with him and when they were done, they weren't friends anymore.
I'm sorry if the ending of this chapter was confusing, I had many things to talk about. I hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to read Jack's POV, in "No Losers Allowed", by nottrashatall and Harry's POV, in "On The Brink", by guiest88 .
I'll try updating soon.
