Chapter five
Kristen's POV: I wake up to my alarm buzzing, 11:15. Fifteen minutes till Brandon should text me. I change into something halfway decent. I put on little makeup and grab my purse. I slide on my shoes and grab my phone,
"Hey I'm at the park, I'm sitting on the swing waiting for you."
"Ok be their soon."
I delete my texts and lock my phone. I creep out of my room and check the surroundings, all clear. I tiptoe to the front door and slowly unlock it. I have a key now so it's much easier. I lock it behind me and start walking to the park. I smile when I see Brandon sitting on the swings, "it's nice to see you." I say, hugging him. He kisses me and grabs my hand, "nice to see you too," I look over at the fort and see something I wish I hadn't, Ashton. I could tell by the quiff in his hair. He is making out with Ashleigh, something I did three years ago with him and I regret it so much. I hold into Brandon's hand tighter and we walk faster, "everything ok?" He whispers. I shake my head, "it's Ashton." He looks over and sighs, "it's ok, I'll protect you." I think Ashton saw me. I smile and get in the car with Brandon. "Ready?" I sigh and nod, "ready." He smiles and starts driving to the beach. I go on my phone while we drive, "everything ok?" He asks looking over for a split second, "no, I've been so stressed lately." "Why? About the vlog thing?" I shake my head, "no, my brother had a seizure today and he might have cancer that came from Charles." "Kristen, that's horrible." "I know, we are taking him to the doctors tomorrow." He nods and keeps driving. We arrive at the beach and he helps me out. He grabs a basket and a blanket from the trunk. I grab his hand and we walk to the beach. We set our stuff down and start to have a little snack, "how about after this we go to the cliff?" I nod, "sound good." We sit together and look at the ocean. Tonight's a perfect night. The beach is so peaceful and the moon is bright. Better yet I'm spending it with Brandon. I hope Charles and Alli don't call me. Brandon grabs my hand and kisses me, "you seem stressed," I smile and hug him, "I'm less tense when I'm with you though." He kisses me and I get the same feeling I had with Ashton three years ago. I love and hate it at the same time. I don't back away though. We kiss for what feels like forever then we stop. He smiles at me and kisses my forehead. I hug him and he puts an arm around me. I look at my phone, 12:45. I yawn and look at Brandon, "babe, I think we need to cut this short, I'm too tired." I stand up and wipe off my shorts. He stands up and does the same, "ok let's go." He grabs his stuff and we walk to the car, "love you," he says leaning over in the car, "love you too." I kiss him and he starts the car. He smiles and drives to my neighborhood. We arrive at the park am I kiss him again, "bye." "Bye." He smiles and I get out of the car. I have that bad feeling in my gut that my parents figured out I left. I unlock the door to my house and walk inside. I hear creaking floor so I bolt to the hallway. I peak around and see Alli walk out from her bedroom crying. I put my purse in my room and change into pajamas. I slowly walk back out. I step on a board and it squeaks. I take my foot back and look where Alli is. She turns towards my directions, "Kristen? Is that you?" I slowly come out and rub my eye to pretend I was sleeping, "yeah, are you ok?" She nods and takes a deep breath, "to much pressure with the whole internet thing and then Chaz has a seizure." "Mom it will be ok, if he has cancer then we know how to deal with it," I sit down and she grabs my hand. She smiles at me and I smile back. "Alli, are you ok?" We hear Charles say. He comes out and hugs Alli from behind. She nods and grabs his arms, "I love you." She looks up and he kisses her, "I love you too." She sighs and her smile fades, "what are we going to do about Chaz?" Charles shrugs and sighs, "we hope for the best." Alli starts to cry again and puts her head in her hands, "Char, what if something bad happens?" "Al, nothing will." He helps her up and pulls her into a hug. Her head is still in her hands while Charles hugs her. He starts swaying back and forth, "it's ok, calm down, you will be fine, this is for the best," "this is not for the best, don't say that." Alli says, still crying. I feel so guilty for leaving now. I look at them and sigh, Charles smiles at me, "are you ok?" I nod, "I'm going back to bed night." When I leave Charles is still hugging Alli. I go into my room and sit on my bed. Should I tell them? Ugh I don't know! I guess I'll text Avery and update her,
"Av, you awake?"
"Yes I'm awake, why?"
"I need to update you on everything that has been going on."
"Besides the whole ending the vlog thing?"
"Yea, ok so today Chaz had a seizure, he might have cancer we are taking him go the doctor tomorrow and tonight I snuck out with Brandon... I feel so guilty because when I got home Alli came out and she was crying and she was super stressed. What do I do?"
"I think you shouldn't tell your parents, they seem to stressed. I super sorry about your brother I love and miss him."
"Same with your brother! We need to get together soon."
"Sure but I'm way to busy right now."
"Ok well thanks."
I delete the messages and lock my phone, I feel guilty. I grab my laptop and phone. I walk out of my room and still see Alli and Charles hugging, "here." I hand them my electronics and sit down. "Why are you giving us this?" Charles asks setting it down. "I feel really guilty cause I did something..." Alli wipes her eyes and crosses her arms, "what did you do?" I look down, "I might of went to the beach with Brandon and got back right before you came out of your room..." "Kristen Cole Trippy! I can't believe you!" Alli yells, frustrated. "if you let me go to the movies with him then I would've snuck out! I've been so depressed and that felt so good!" "What felt so good?!" "Getting out of the house! Being on the beach with someone I love!" Alli sighs and sits down. Charles crosses his arms and takes my electronics away. "I can't believe you, this is your second time leaving the house!" "Mom I'm sorry. I know your stressed I just felt so guilty so I told you." Alli stands up and slam her hands on the table, "I'm glad you felt guilty!! You don't know how much this hurts your father and I!! You are grounded two weeks and if you leave this house without telling us you aren't coming back!!" She leaves me sitting at the table feeling more worse than before.
