I woke up with a pounding headache. I reach my hand into my nightstand and shuffle through the drawer before pulling out ibuprofen. I pop two in my mouth with some water and swallow it down before sitting up. I look over at my keyboard and decide to play it, seeing I haven't in a few days.
I start playing Talking To the Moon by Bruno Mars, singing along and getting deep into it, remembering how much this song reminded my mom of her mother, and how now it reminds me of my own. The chords and notes ran through me until the song was over. I then looked through my 'my boy <3" playlist and pick out A Drop in the Ocean. I continue picking from the playlist of songs we picked out together, laying down on his bed one afternoon on a rainy day. I eventually felt finished with the piano so I stood up from the stool walking over to my phone. I pick it up and walk downstairs and into my kitchen, finding a note on the island.
Took the train to work today because I'm staying for the weekend. Left the car for you. Love you pumpkin. Also Kyle is coming home for the weekend to spend time with you.
I sigh and put the note down grabbing the keys next to the note.
Group chat with Kelly and Brett:
Brielle: I have the car all weekend. Want to go to the mall?
Kelly: is that even a question?
Brett: what time?
Brielle: as soon as I get ready. 30 mins?
Kelly: sounds good to me
Brett: me too
Brielle: see you then :)
I put my phone down and jog up the steps, changing into leggings and Shawn's obey hoodie. I sigh at my black leggings, being too baggy to fit me. I put on deodorant and perfume then put my hair in a half up half down. I put on mascara then slip on some white vans, grabbing the keys and going to pick up Brett first.
When I pull up he's already outside waiting, so he walks up and smiles while getting in passenger. I say hi, turning down the radio to greet him.
"Hey. Did you see what Shawn did today?" Brett asks and I shake my head, focusing on the road. He pulls out his phone and turns it to me as I stop at a red light. I watch as Shawn jumps off a cliff extremely high. So high you couldn't hear his scream as he went down. I gasp and throw a hand over my mouth as Brett laughs.
"It's so sick. Better take me next time." Brett says as I shake my head.
"Nope. Never. I'm yelling at him." I say pulling out my phone. The light turns green so I put my phone down, only to have to stop at a red light within the next 2 minutes.
Brielle: who do you think you are mister? Scaring me half to death jumping off a cliff that high?
Brielle: respond so I know you aren't dead
Brielle: oh god you're paralyzed
I continue driving until pulling up in front of Kelly's house.
Shawn: you're too funny
Shawn: I'm perfectly fine. On an adrenaline rush but other than that completely normal.
Shawn: my fam wants to FaceTime. Can you?
Brielle: I'm driving right now but I can set it up on the dashboard.
Shawn: as long as you stay focused.
My phone begins ringing and I answer it as Kelly gets in the car and says hello. The call connects and Shawn's face appears as I set the phone up on the connector on the dashboard.
