Country romance now completed

Chapter 29 NE

Brianna POV

"Can you two turn that music
down, I have a headache." I blink Angerly shutting the music off entirely. My mom is sprawled out on the couch, my stepdad giving her a neck massage. Brady is in the other seat playing a video game on the TV, not really acknowledging me.

"Where is my best friend?" I question getting off the couch. My mom shrugs, whispering stuff with her stupid husband. I walk down the hall into my room.

It was just as I had left it months back, line green walls, with white and black striped curtains, my closet spilling out its contents onto the floor.

I plopped down onto the bed burying my face into my pillow, his face appearing in my mind. Why can't I get him out of my dang hard, why can't I just forget it all!!!

It hurts so bad, it hurts so much more than physical pain. Someone has ripped my heart out, and is squeezing it until I can't breathe anymore.

I wonder if I ever cross his mind?

I lean back against the headboard, letting my eyes sink shut, as I listen to the quiet chatter from the living room. I focus on my heartbeat, letting my mind drift off to one of those country days.

"Austin, are you gonna eat all the popcorn, you know I am here too," I pout, attempting to steal the bowl. He just chuckled, dangling a piece over my head.

I just stare at him, a lazy smile on my face. "I'm not a dog you idiot," I wine, folding my arms, as the tv continues to play the hunger games.

"Oh really, then why are you giving me puppy dog eyes" he teases, popping another piece of popcorn into his mouth. I roll my eyes, punching him in the arm.

"Geez, you are annoying." He just snickers, shoving the bowl onto my lap. I throw a piece at him, shoving a handful into my mouth.

"Wow, thanks for sharing," he states, tossing the piece back at me. I throw it back at him, giggling as he grabs the piece, he leans forward, I had looked back at the movie thinking he had eaten it.

Austin laughs dangerously close to my ear just as I feel something slide down my back. " Austin Harris how dare you," I scream, the popcorn flying off my lap as I squirm. I can't believe he shoved a piece of popcorn down the back of my shirt.

"You are such a jerk," I yell, trying to slap him, but he just grabs my arm. Fire spreading through my skin.

" yeah, and you are a drama queen."

——————————-

I jump when my door opens, Brady coming into view. "Hey beautiful," he mutters, shutting the door behind him. I close my eyes laying back down again.

"Hi," I state, pulling the covers over me, my eye catching the time. "6:34 PM. He climbs onto the bed, sitting up next to me, I don't turn to face him, instead I finger my headphones in my hand, trying not to pull my hair out at his closeness.

"Why are you so quiet," he questions, slumping so he is laying down next to me. Oh how much I wish it was Austin right by me. I frown in response, shrugging, deciding to stare out the window.

"I just don't have anything to say," I admit, turning to him, he stares into my eyes, his deep green ones not holding an ounce of sincerity as he states his next words.

"You know you mean the world to me, you are the only girl I could ever love." He draws up a finger, tracing the outline of my jaw. I just stare at him, his words holding no meaning to me.

Actions speak bigger then words

"Yeah," I mumble, not really having enough energy to pull away. He pulls my face to his, preparing to kiss me, but I pull back, my stomach feeling like it might caugh up my insides all over him. I know a little bit graphic but that is literally how I felt at that moment.
