Shattered By Broken Dreams (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 12

The night was interesting to say the least. We had dinner and talked, well he talked, I acted like I didn't want to be there. So it was no surprise when after dinner, he suggested he take me home. I was expecting him to attack me when we got back to my place, but he walked me to my door and said "See ya." and left.

I closed the door, see ya, that was it? What was that about?

I got changed and climbed into bed, relieved. What a lie, I wasn't relieved at all, I was disappointed. Well what did you expect Sophie, I thought, you didn't exactly act nice. I groaned, it was true, I'd acted like a stuck up bitch, but he bought out the worst in me, something about him. I wish I knew what it was, I thought, drifting off to sleep.

I didn't want to get up the next day, but work. I was meeting with Ana at 11 and frankly I didn't want to, I know she was going to ask about the date, and what would I say, it was horrible.

I couldn't even be bothered dressing nice, so threw on a pair of jeans and a shirt and tied my hair back, no make up, my mood was foul.

I drove over to their house and when she opened the door she shook her head.

"Sophie, not good huh?" she asked.

I shook my head and walked in. "Is it that obvious, do I look that bad?"

Ana put her finger to her lips and indicated out the back.

"He's here." I mouthed, she nodded, just great.

I walked over to the table and pulled out my laptop, I wanted this done so I could get out of here.

"Let's get serious Ana, this wedding isn't going to organise itself." She agreed, and I was happy when she told me they'd settled on a venue, good.

"Dresses Ana, what are we doing about that? Colours?"

"I want black, but everyone complained, and oh god Sophie, Bella is my bridesmaid, I didn't think they'd break up." Well shit.

"Well that's fine, I mean she can still be your friend, and who knows, maybe they'll get back together." That last part made me feel sick in the stomach.

"Maybe." Ana said, looking up to the doorway, Brian was standing there.

I smiled somewhat awkwardly at him, and he just looked at me.

I turned my attention back to Ana, screw him, I'd already wasted enough time thinking about him.

"What about your dress?" I asked her.

She looked at me and raised her eyebrows. "I have no idea."

Great, just great.

"Do you need something?" I asked, looking to the doorway, where he was still standing.

"I was just going to say." he said, walking towards me "You should leave your hair down." He reached out and pulled the band out of my hair. "Much better." And he turned and walked out.

Ana looked at me, I shrugged my shoulders, I had no idea.

"What is going on Sophie?"

"Absolutely nothing Ana, not a thing, the date was horrible." I said quietly.

We sat there, not saying anything for a few minutes when Brian suddenly walked back in.

"Uh, so, go out with me again?" I looked at him, was he serious? "I know you said only one date, but well, you know."

I couldn't believe what was seeing, Mr Overconfident was actually being awkward and unsure of himself.

"Okay." I said. WHAT, what is wrong with you? I asked myself.

"Good, same time tonight." And he walked out again.

"Well." Ana said. "I thought you hated him?"

"I did too."
