♡Chapter 4♡

*Brandon's Point Of View*

Change. A word that fills me with fear. It makes my heart rate increase along with my doubts. It deminishes hope, and breaks spirits. That's how my life is now. Everything has changed. My family, school,  and myself. It happened too fast. In the past year, I have lost a father. I have lost a little sister and brother.  I have lost myself in the process. It's hard for me to focus on my studies when so much is going on in my personal life. Which is why I am glad I have Mathew. He keeps me sane. Even if for a little moment,  he gives me an at ease feeling. Mom even likes him so that's a plus. Michael doesn't know yet. Yes,  I refer to my father as Michael now. He isn't a father to me anymore. A father set's a good example for his son or daughter. He has failed to do that. I hate visitation days. I literally beg mom to not take me to his house.  It doesn't feel right anymore. Returning to the past. That's how I feel about it. I'm ready to leave that behind and take care of mom. I just want to be her strong shoulder that will hold her up if she needs to lean on. I don't want her hurt anymore. I hate hearing her cry at night. Every night she cries my hatred for him grows stronger.  I know that's a strong word, but that's the only way I can explain it. So knowing that today  I have to go with him for the weekend, is like icing on the cake of hate. I'm still shocked that she hit me. In all my 17 year's of living, Never have she laid a hand on me. I talked to God mother Yuli about it. She said I need to let go and pray about it. I don't know about praying. I don't even know if God can accept my kind. It's sad but it's another one of my many contiplated feelings. I slowly climb out of the car once we arrived to his house. "thanks for dropping me off", Yuli nods and smiles. "Of course honey, And remember pray about it, or just talk to your mom or me, You know I'm always here, And please be good to your father he is trying to fix things I know he is", I sigh. Maybe she's right?, I give her a quick peck on the cheek and made my way to the front door. I look back and Yuli is driving off. I take in a deep breath and knock...

*Yuli's Point Of View *

After dropping of Brandon and talking to him, I figured I would do the same with Marilyn. Two year's of friendship and I'm always in the middle of their arguments. I have backed out a little since finding out I'm pregnant. Ryan has been a great help. I couldn't ask for more right now. I pull into Marilyn's driveway. I sigh and do a silent prayer before stepping out of the car. I slowly wobble to her front door. I knock on the door. A few seconds later, the door swings open and behind it is a clearly agitated Marilyn. "Hello grumpy pants! ", I giggled. She responds with a dry 'Hello'. I step in and made my way into the den. She follows behind me. I plop on the love seat. "So tell me what's gotcha all fired up?", She sighs deeply. "I saw him at the supermarket and let's just say my anger talked for me", She said motioning her word's with her hand's. I rub my temples. "I said move on, Not get even!,  What have I told you? In order to get over a man you need too?...", She cracks a smile. "Get under a new one, Yuli I'm not doing that", I laugh. "It's just a joke, .But on a serious note, I need you to stop letting your emotions control your life, I mean last week every time the word 'Michael' was mentioned you would cry, Now you want to rip someone's head off!, Listen I Love you,  but I'm taking Michael's side, he's going through enough with Brandon still holding a grudge, He doesn't need a constant reminder", Her eye's start watering up. "I-I don't know what to do anymore!", "Yes you do... Get yourself together and take the stick out of your ass and put on your big girl panties and act your age! ", Her sniffles become sobs. I motion for her to come to me. She slowly walks over to me. I pull her into a hug. "Don't cry, You'll be OK, trust me you will,  Just pray and keep together ", I stroke her hair. I pull back after awhile. "Look let's go out! To some hotspot cafe, How does that sound?", She wipes her eye's. "I'm not in the mood", I shake my head. "Let's get you cleaned up because we're going even I have to drag your ass", She giggles as I drag her upstairs...
