At First Glance | Brennan Donnelly

Part 5 | Hello Orlando!

Alexa's POV

I woke up to my mom shaking me.
"Honey it's time to get up! We have a plane to catch." She said. I groaned and got up. Throwing on

I grabbed my bags and took them downstairs. We put them in the car and left for the airport.

We got to the airport and checked our bags in. Rebecca's flight was leaving soon.
"I'm gonna miss you Becca" I said hugging her.
"I'm gonna miss you too Lex" She hugged me back.
"You better go you don't want to miss your flight!" I told her.
"Oh yeah! Okay bye!" She waved to everybody. Then she ran off to go back to LA.
"Alexa!" I heard someone yell. I turned around to see Brennan and his family. I ran towards him and he picked me up.
"Hey bug I missed you!" He smiled.
"Yeah yeah, I missed you too now I want food!" I told them.
"Okay run along and get something to eat. But be back here in 15!" My dad said. I grabbed Brennan's hand and pulled him to Panera.
"Panera it is" He smiled. I looked at him and smiled.
"Yep"
We got up to the register and I ordered a spinach and bacon egg soufflé with a strawberry banana smoothie. Brennan ordered a 4 cheese egg soufflé with a mango smoothie.
"Here ya go" Brennan said handing her money.
"Ugh I forgot It was your turn" I Said. I heard giggling so I turned around. There were two girls checking out Brennan. I don't really know why but I got jealous. They saw me and gave me dirty looks. So I gave them one back. The lady gave us our food and we went to sit down. Brennan started walking towards the table right next to the girls. I pulled him to the other side of the place. We sat down and started to eat. Brenda and I were sitting side by side. They called our names for our drinks so I got up to go get them. I also ordered a water when I was there. I opened the water to take a drink when I saw one of the girls at our table talking to Brennan. Flirting with him. I acted like I was taking a drink of water as I walked over when I got close enough I "Tripped" and "accidentally" spilled my water all over her.
"Ugh, you ruined my clothes!" She shouted.
"I think I did you favor, those clothes of yours look like crap. Oh and here's a tip. Don't get on my bad side" I told her. She walked away mad.
"Here's your drink B" I said giving him his smoothie while sitting down.
"What was that about?" He asked.
"Oh nothing" I smiled.
"I don't believe you" He said. I acted like I didn't hear him. I finished my soufflé but Brennan hasn't finished his yet. I saw the girls looking at us both. They were giving me dirty looks and then one flipped me off. I took Brennan's face without thinking and kissed him. Right when I realized what I was doing I pulled away. I looked away when I did.
"What the?" Brennan said confused.
"I-I- I'm sorry" I stuttered. I grabbed my stuff and got up not making eye contact with him. I glanced at the girls and flipped them off as I walked out. I quickly walked back to the group. I grabbed Tyler's arm and pulled him away from everybody.
"What are you doing?!" He asked. I stopped when we were somewhere more private. I looked at him in the eyes.
"What's wrong?" He questioned. Tears started spilling out my eyes.
"Alexa" He said as he wrapped his arms around me.
"I messed up" I told him.
"I need more information than that" He calmly said rubbing my back.
I told him everything that happened at Panera.
"You really do love Brennan don't you?" Tyler smiled.
"I'm not in the mood" I told him and his smile faded.
"Don't be embarrassed about it lex. I know for a fact Brennan really likes you." Tyler said.
"But, I don't want to ruin our friendship, but I probably just did. He was so confused Tyler! He didn't seem one but happy." I croaked.
"Oh lex, it will be okay. This will blow over. I promise" He said hugging me again. He looked at me and wiped away my tears.
"No we better get back to them." He half smiled.
"Yeah you're right" I said. He held my hand as we walked back. He tried telling me jokes to cheer me up but it didn't work. We got back to everybody.
"What's wrong Alexa? Why is your face tear stained?" My mom asked.
"I don't- I can't talk about it" I said.
"Alexa were your family, tell us what's going on" My dad instructed. Everybody was there watching me. Even Brennan.
"Dad, don't make her, please" Tyler said. I squeezed his hand.
"Well I made her so she's gonna tell me why she's upset" My dad shouted. He hated us being upset. When he was little his cousin committed suicide right in front of his eyes. It changed him. Sometimes it's a good thing and sometimes it's a bad thing.
"I told you I can't do it!" I yelled at him. Tears streaming down my face again.
"Don't get a temper with me young lady, you'd be nothing without us. You wouldn't be famous, an actress, or even alive" My dad yelled in my face. I started hitting my head. It was a thing I did when anybody yelled at me when I was little. I don't do it intentionally. But it stopped after I went to the hospital for hitting my head with a rock.
"Honey stop!" My mom yelled at me. I couldn't stop though. It wasn't my decision. I kept hitting my head. Harder and harder each time.
"Alex stop!" Tyler yelled trying to grab my arms. Then someone was in front of me. Brennan.
"Bug? Hey darling, can you please stop? For me? It's okay, just breathe. It's okay, I'm here. I'll never leave you. No matter what." Brennan said calming me down. Which was surprising nobody could make me stop hitting my head. Until now.
"I'm not mad, I was shocked because I thought you didn't like me in that way. Now I'm the one that wanted to kiss you for awhile so I think it's only fair if I get to kiss you." Brennan said. Then he started leaning in. Our lips connected, I wrapped my arms around his waist and he put his hand on my head. I heard people taking pictures but I didn't care. It my mind it was just the two of us. We pulled away. We just smiled like goofballs at each other.
"I think I got the best photo" Mike said.
