Fighting for Love (COMPLETED)(EDITED)

Chapter 2

I don't know how long I stood there with my mouth hanging open, trying to form words. My heart was telling me that I didn't like him that way. I couldn't. He was just my best friend. However my brain was telling me that if I say no, then things would be bad for us and I might even lose my best friend. So I looked into his hopeful green eyes and just nodded my head. Unable to speak. He jumped up in excitement and hugged me for several minutes while I was just standing there in his arms unable to speak or move. What did I just get myself into??

Without even asking, he walking into my house and pushes me to the couch kissing me rather aggressively. I didn't even respond but he just kept going like I was the only thing keeping him alive. I lay there doing nothing. What was I supposed to do? My best friend was forcefully kissing me. Well, now my boyfriend. I shutter at the word. I couldn't just tell him to get off. Could I? I mean he was my boyfriend and that's what couples do. Right?

Adams P.O.V

I was so happy that she said yes I couldn't help my self. As I was kissing her I realized she wasn't kissing back. She was just shocked with happiness that we're together...right? I kissed her for a couple minutes and I got tired of having no response so I get off and look into her aqua blue eyes.

"What's wrong baby?" I ask her, concerned that she hasn't said or done anything since I asked her. She just nods her head signaling a "nothing". Not knowing what else to do I just just tell her I better go. I only get a nod in response and I get up, kiss her forehead and tell her goodbye. I get in my car and sit there for a few minutes.

Why didn't she seem happy? I mean, she said yes so she wanted to be with me, so what was wrong with her? What if she didn't even want me? I shake the thoughts out of my head and drive.

I couldn't go without Brianne much longer. I love her and I need her like I need air. If I went much longer I don't think I could have made it. Litterally. Everything was complicated for me. Mom and Dad were NEVER home and when they were they were always fighting or hitting me. I was an only child and the closest person I have was Bree. Rae wasn't very close with me. We were just friends because Bree was both or our best friends. My grades were failing and all I have was Bree. If she said no, I probably wouldn't have been here much longer. Life without her sucks.

Briannes P.O.V

What. Did. I. Just. Get. Myself. Into? I sit there asking that question over and over and over again. Trying to figure out what to do. I couldn't call Rae because I didn't know if she would tell Adam I didn't really want to be with him but I call her anyways. After the rings she picks up.
"Hey Bree."

"Hey. So the strangest thing happened to me."

"Spill"

"Okay Rae, so Adam showed up at my door today and asked me out."

"Oh my gosh!!! And you said.?"

After a short pause I say "I said yes..."

She lets out a high squeal in excitement "I knew he would do it!"

I hang up the phone at that. Rae knew? Why didn't she tell me? Okay. So obviously I couldn't tell her what I REALLY wanted so I kept quiet and decide to go to bed. I check my notifications and see I have a message from Adam. Oh yay! It says "goodnight Bree and I love you so much. Sweet dreams". I don't even know how to respond so I just lay my phone on the table and roll over.

It's been a week and nothing changed. Adam kept coming over to my house rather forcefully kissing me and me, I just lay there and take it. What else was I supposed to do? I didn't want to kiss back. He sits up and looks at me with a confused expression on his face. I couldn't take this much longer. I didn't want to be with him.
"Adam, I don't think we should be doing this anymore. I see you more as friend than anything else. I just can't see us as anything more. It feels...odd."

"Bree. What are you talking about" he say with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Every since we've been together things feel different and not in a good way. I miss just being friends."

Then something happens that I would have never seen coming from him. His expression changes from sad...to anger. He walks up to me and grabs my wrist, squeezing them tighter and tighter every second. What's is happening with him? He looks into my eyes and says
"I can't live without you. You're not going any where."

Not wanting to sound weak I blink back the tears in my eyes from the pain in my wrists and put on a brave act.

"And why aren't I going anywhere?"

"Because I need you and you're not leaving me. If you don't want me then no one does and then I couldn't live with my self."

"Adam, what do you mean by that?"

"I mean, that if you leave me, I'll just have to go 'somewhere else'" he says squeezing my wrist even tighter at the last words. Then it clicked. He was going to commit suicide if I left. I couldn't do that. I know i didn't want to be with him, but I couldn't just leave and let him do that, he was still my best friend, wasn't he? Since I didn't say anything back I guess he took that as a time to go home so after one last squeeze and a deadly look in his eye, he shoved me down to the ground and walked out. Slamming the door on his way. I slowly walk up to my room and before I could make it to my bed I broke down crying. What is happening with my life? Why is this happening? My best friend is depressed, he's now my boyfriend when I don't even want him to be and I can't do anything about it because he will kill himself, and he just physically abused me. I look down at my wrist and I see that they're already starting to form bruises on them. Shit, I have to wear long sleeves so I don't have to answer questions.

I look up at the window and see that it's raining but what really caught my eye was Scott standing at his window looking at me with a concerned look on his face. He points up signally to open my window. I wipe my tears on my sleeve and open the window.
"Bree, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm fine."

"No you're not. You're crying."

"It's nothing really. Just a long day."

"I know that's not true but if you don't want to talk about it. It's okay. If you want I can come over and talk to you?"

"No it's okay. I'm just going to call it a night."

"Okay, step a little to left though for second. Please."

I do as he says and step to the left. The I see a little paper airplane fly in through my window and I open it and see a phone number written on it.

"Since I know something's wrong, I gave you my number Incase you need anything. If you do just call."

"Thank you." And I shut my window and curtain. I step back confused and lay on my bed. Why is Scott being so nice? Leslie would go insane if she found out he gave me his number. So why did he? Putting my thoughts aside, I let sleep take over.

Authors note
Stuff like this really does happen so it's not a joke. People who are in Bree's situation feel trapped. Suicide and abuse are serious situations.

Hopefully you enjoy and thanks for reading! Once I'm finished with the story I will go back and fix my mistakes unless you see something and to tell me I will go and fix it ASAP. Thank you for reading!!!
