To Be or Not To Be

Fourteen

Amara's P.O.V

I felt frozen. I felt a hand on my shoulder making me look over to see Chris standing next to me.

"Come on. Let's get out of here," She told me. Chris grabbed my wrist before dragging me away.

How could Travis do this to me? I loved him so much and he cheats on me. I felt heartbroken.

"We're going," Chris announced to some people.

"Why? Party was just getting started," I heard.

"Amara's not feeling so well," Chris said.

"Aw. Too much marshmallows?" Someone teased. When I blinked, a tear came out from my eye. I wiped it away quickly before packing up my stuff along with Chris.

"Let's go," She told me.

We loaded stuff inside the car before I turned on the engine.

"You're in no condition to drive. Let me drive us home," Chris said.

"I'll be fine," I tell her.

"You sure?" Chris asked me. I nodded before backing up and speeding away.

The whole ride home was quiet. After I dropped off Chris, I drive above the speed limits to get back home. I parked into the driveway, not wanting to be in the car any longer. I stormed inside the mansion before slamming the door shut.

"Amara? Is that you?" Brennan asked. I walked upstairs to see him come out of his office.

"What are you doing-" Brennan stopped talking as soon as he saw me.

"What happened?" He asked me calmly. I broke down crying making Brennan come closer and wrap his arms around me.

"Hey, it's okay. What's wrong?" He asked.

"Travis... Travis cheated on me," I cried into his shirt.

"He what?" Brennan asked me calmly.

"He cheated on me," I sobbed.

"Hey. It's okay. Look, I'll draw you a bath, you get cleaned, and get some rest okay? We can talk more about this tomorrow," Brennan told me. I sniffled a little before giving a nod.

"Come on," Brennan said. He got the water ready for me while I grabbed my pajamas.

"I'll be in my room if you need me," Brennan told me.

"Thank you," I said quietly. It felt more of a whisper.

"Just call if you need anything," Brennan told me. I nodded at him. Brennan left the room to go back to his.

I put my pajamas on the counter before stripping out of my clothes. I sat in the tub thinking of what happened. I heard my phone go off making me look at it. Three text messages from Travis.

Where did you go?

Baby talk to me

Amara, I can explain. Call me please

I turned off my phone before deciding to clean myself. After my bath, I changed into my pajamas before lying in my bed.

I lied awake thinking of what happened. My head hurt from the thought of it. I got out of bed before walking over to Brennan's room. I knocked on the door gently. Brennan opened the door in his pajamas. A plain white shirt and gray sweats.

"You okay?" He asked me.

"I can't sleep," I tell him.

"Why don't we watch a movie?" Brennan asked me.

"What movie?" I asked.

"Narnia. All three of them," He tells me.

"You have it?" I asked.

"Yeah. Your dad told me all the movies you loved as a kid so I bought them all before you moved in," He told me. I gave him a hug. Brennan seemed surprised because he hesitantly hugged me back.

"Come on," Brennan said.

We went to the living room where he put on the first Narnia movie. Brennan sat next to me as he played the movie.

Brennan's P.O.V

I looked down at Amara. She started to look sleepy. Her head kept on falling down but she quickly woke up each time to stop her from falling over.

"Why don't you put your head on my shoulder?" I said.

"You won't mind?" She asked me.

"No. It's okay," I tell her.

Amara leaned her head over to my shoulder before we continued to watch the movie. The weight on my shoulder started to feel heavier not too long later. I looked down to see Amara asleep. I turned off the TV before I picked Amara up.

I carried her upstairs to her room. I lied her down on the bed before covering the blanket over her. Before I left, I heard her say something.

"Stay," She said in a calm, yet quiet voice.

"Are you sure?" I asked her quietly.

"Please," She tells me. I nodded before getting in the bed with her. Amara got closer to me. I wrapped my arms around her waist before closing my eyes and falling asleep with her.
