What Happens In A Small Town

Chapter Thirteen

B R A N T L E Y

I see Kels run off as we walk off stage as we get side stage I look at Kasey who is muttering something along the lines of "damn stubborn fucking woman"

Then Ben slaps me on the back "damn B not the reaction you had hoped for huh?" I roll my eyes glaring at him before flipping him the bird and shoving him off of me "Fuck off man"

Kasey shakes her head "I should have seen that coming damn" then she looks at me "sorry BG.... I didn't think she'd run or I'd have grabbed her"

I shake my head at her "we both probably should have seen that coming" Kasey sighs "look B, she just scared.... God knows the stubborn ass woman won't admit it but as her sister I can just tell, just don't give up on her, if you want her back just show her that she is still the one you want to be with"

I give her a smile "thanks Kasey, for tryin anyway"

She smiles and hugs me "it was good to see you again BG, I know you will have your hands full with Kelsey so I will wish you good luck with that and tell her I'll talk to her later"

I give her a nod "will do" she walks off.

I let out a sigh and drag my hand down my face not exactly how I wanted that to go but knowing Kelsey I should have expected it.

I head over to her dressing room hoping she'd be in there but no she's not must have gone back to the bus.

I walk back out to the bus and step onto it looking at TR "did Kelsey come back here?" He nods "yeah she's locked herself in the backroom... She literally ran into the bus and straight back there I tried to talk to her but all she does is tell me to go away"

I nod at him and walk back towards the back room I knock on the door even though it's probably not going to do anything. "Come on Kels open the door"

"Just leave me alone B" Kasey was right about one thing... damn stubborn woman "no... I will sit right outside this door until you open it... Kelsey Nicole, you forget I'm just as stubborn as you are if not more"

"Guess you'll be out there for a while then because I'm not opening the door" I blow out a breath and sit down in front of the door just like I said I would "you know this would be a lot easier if you would just talk to me Kelsey"

K E L S E Y

"You know this would be a lot easier if you would just talk to me Kelsey" I roll my eyes, thinking 'yeah I realize that but when I have ever done something the easy way? Never that's when.'

It's quite for a while and then I hear "Kelsey sweetie it's Lauren, talk to me" 

I let out a sigh "are you alone out there?"

She chuckles "Yeah I had to drag BG's ass back to the front with Thomas by his ear"I can't help but chuckle at that opening the door and pulling her in before locking it back. "Okay sweetie Thomas told me you locked yourself in here and wouldn't talk to anyone unless it was to tell them to go away and he has no idea why and is kind of worried about you and then there is also the fact that BG literally parked himself in front of the door and would not get up until I grabbed him by the ear and made him"

I let out a sigh knowing that telling her the truth about B and I is the only option here "okay so you know that guy the I told you, Lina, and Britt about over a pitcher of margaritas at Luke and Lina's beach house in Panama City last summer?" 

She nods "yeah the one you said you loved to death but couldn't stand to see the road he was going down and would not tell us his name? What does that have to do with this?"

I nod confirming what she said "Yeah, that's the one... There is a reason I refused to tell you who he was or who he is........ But now that the guys know about this it'll come out sooner or later and it had everything to do with this"

She grins at me "Ohhh now I'm even more intrigued... So are you finally going to tell me who he is?" 

I nod at her "yeah I am"

She grins "okay so who?"

I blow out a breath finally telling her about the 'mystery ex' as Lina likes to call him "it's....... Brantley"

*****
So I brought in Lauren and I left a little cliff hanger on Kels telling Lauren about her and BG
