The Worst

Rain on your parade

- Bree

next day

I wake up and my head hurts like hell. I sit up to stretch and I see Carnell lying next to me still asleep. Last night was one of the best nights I've had in a long time. When I'm with Carnell it feels like we're the only two people in the world and everything's just perfect. That's something I've never felt with Chris. I look over and see Carnell starting to wake up.

Bree:*smiling* good morning big head

Carnell:*smirks* that's not the only that's big.

Bree:*laughs* shut up!

He smiles at me then gives me a soft kiss on the lips.

Carnell: Last night was amazing, I really enjoy spending time with you.

Bree:*smiling* Same here.

He looked at his phone on the night stand then practically jumped out of bed and starts getting dressed.

Carnell: Shit, I gotta get outta here!

Bree: What's wrong?

Carnell: I'm late for work.

Bree: Oops haha.

Carnell: *smiles* I'll see you later.

He gives me a kiss on the cheek then heads out the door. Gosh, I think I love him. He's all I seem to think about now and every time we kiss I feel sparks fly. I just hope he feels the same way. I get up and brush my teeth and take a shower and throw on a yellow sundress with some sandals. It was really nice out today so I figured I could head to the mall and get my nails done. Before I got there I made a quick run to Starbucks, but just as was getting ready to walk out I ran into Chris almost spilling my drink. Great.

Chris:*smiles* Hey

Bree: Hi.

There was an awkward silence between us. Last I talked to him I told him off, now I have nothing left to say to him.

Chris: You look nice.

Bree: Thanks. Look I should probably get going.

Chris: Wait, do you have time to talk for a little?

Bree: Look if it's another one of your "take me back" speeches, you can save your breath because I don't wanna hear it.

Chris: It's not trust me, it's important.

Bree:*sigh* Alright fine.

He grabs his coffee and we sit at a table near the window.

Chris:*sigh* Bree when I was with you, I wasn't always honest with you..

Bree: Ha, ya think! I caught you remember?

Chris: It's not just about that, there's more. Not only was I not honest with you, I wasn't honest with myself.

Bree: Chris what are you talking about?

Chris:*sigh* I'm addicted to crack.

Whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Bree: Wait, you were using when we were together?

Chris: Even before then, but I'm ok, I ODed once, but I'm fine.

Bree: Wow, I don't know what to say.

Chris: Hey it's ok, I've been getting counseled and stuff so I'm getting better.

Bree: Well that's great.

Chris: Thanks, it bothered me that I went all this time without telling you.
