GROWING PAINS

EIGHT

-
I open my door and I see a furious looking Gwen. I roll my eyes and step away from the door. She walks in, "What the hell is wrong with you?! You spread the news-" I cut her off, "I am your bestfriend you cannot keep news like this from me! I had to find out from Justin!"

She furrowed her eyebrows, "Thomas left me Savannah!" I fold my arms, "Oh same here! I cannot believe you went behind my back and caught on crap behind my back!"

She sighed, "You were not the only one who loved him! But you are so self-absorbed that you didn't bother asking me!"

I almost choke, "I'm self-absorbed. Look whose talking! The girl who got pregnant from her bestfriend's ex boyfriend!"

-
Brandon wipes my tears away and pulls me into a hug. "Shhh. Let it out, I'm here."

I sigh, "Brandon, all those things from High School haunts me. I honestly feel so terrible." He pulls me into a hug.

But before I could proceed with my sob story, there is a knock on my door. Brandon says softly, "That's probably Barry." I nod and I run to the bathroom to splash my face while he gets the door.

"Thank you Barry, Savannah is in the bathroom. But she'll be out soon."

I stare at my reflection and cringe at the sight of my blotchy read face. I open the door and I watch Barry cringe beside Brandon who looks sympathetic.

I paste a smile on my face, "Thank you Barry. What must I sign?" He hands me a clipboard, and I sign it.

He nods and Brandon helps him offload from the truck. Once they've offloaded everything Barry is off.

Brandon and I sort through some more boxes. We've moved my bed to my room and we placed the table and chairs in the far left corner of the living room.

I smile, "I've just got these boxes to unpack. Thank you for all your help." He smiles and nods, "No problem."

I smile, "Wanna stay for dinner?" He chuckles, "I'd love too. But I've got to get home." I nod, "Oh yeah, of course. No problem."

He nods, "You've got work tomorrow?" I nod, "Tomorrow, I work untik 11am. So I've got the morning shift." He nods, "Alright then I'll get you here at about 12pm? Then we can head to our first destination." I nod.

He smiles, "Great! I'll see you then." I smile and nod. Before he walks through the door he turns around.

"Savannah, please call me if you have any bad dreams. Or if you need anything." I smile, "Thank you. I appreciate all of this." He winks before he walks out.

I call the pizza guy. After I've eaten I sort through the last of my boxes and I freshen up.

I then hop into bed and smile as today's events replayed in my head.

-
I see Brandon walking towards some girl. I decide to follow him as I am on my way to my next class.

I freeze when I see him talking to Emma. They a are laughing and I see Emma blush.

I snicker and applaude them, "Wow Mr Nerd and Mrs Hopeless found each other. Emma my gosh, what are you wearing? I swear we threw that in the coffin with my grandmother when she died."

Emma froze and she glanced down at her outfit. She then took off her jacket and walked away. Brandon stared at me before following her.

I roll my eyes as I continue walking. I see Sarah fixing her make up. I chuckle, "Well someone's trying to hard."

She jumps and turns around, "I-I'm trying something different, like you said." I laugh, "My dear girl, you will never be anything in life but a disappointment."

She closed her lockerdoor and stared at the floor. I laugh and fold my arms, "Yup, I can see it. You working at some resteraunt trying to make minimum wage and going home to your cats."

She nodded before scurrying off. I laughed and flipped my hair, "Weirdo."
Thomas walked past me and winked. I smile and wave.

He smiles, "Wanna meet up later?" I nod. He blushes, "Tell Gwen to come along, I uhm..I'm bringing Justin."

I frown but nod.

-

I wake up to the sound of my alarm. I sigh and get out of bed and I take a long shower.

I then change into my working attire and hop into my new car and drive off to work.

As soon as I arrive Mark glances up at me before disappearing back into his office.

I shrug and start working. Mark calls out, "My brekafast please, Miss Brian." I nod and take it into his office.

He thanks me before dismissing me out of his office. Something catches my eye.

It's a portrait of a little girl and Mark. I smile, "Is that you're daughter?" His face goes pail as he puts down the photo frame.

"Yes." I smile, "She's beautiful." He nods. I furrow my eyebrows before walking out.

He acted strange.
