After Brenda left her journal at her house they walked around the town occasionally stopping to shop...

They were talking about where Cath used to live and how she loved it there , then they stopped and 'shop til you drop'

"So any guys in your life?" Cath asked wiggling her eyebrows

This made Brenda laugh a little and say "yes actually ... I fell for him , but he still hasn't woken up to catch me"

"I'm sure he'll notice sooner or later the beautiful girl in front of him , what's his name?"

"His name is Matthew"

"Aw how long have you liked him for?"

"Since 3rd grade.... he gave me my first kiss , under the playground it was very hidden there and he kissed me"

"Awww that so adorable ... and Brenda it's been more than 7 years this is more like love"

"Yes I know , I love him ... but he doesn't wake up .." Brenda started to feel the anxiety to start up ... "So how about you. Any guys in your life?" She said changing the subject ..

Cath grabbed an dress and showed it to Brenda saying "yes actually his name is Cameron"

"Oh what's his last name I think I might know him" Brenda seemed happy she missed the guys

"Cameron Dallas im sure you've heard of him" cath explained nicely

"yes he is literally like an older brother to me, but we haven't seen each other in 1 month ..." Brenda explained feeling depressed .. "um cath is it okay if we go to my house and just hang out there I don't really want to go out anymore.." she was at the verge of crying ... too many memories hitting her at once was building up her anxiety quickly ...

"sure let me just pay for these.. and you are so getting that dress" cath said " and I'm paying for it"

"cath i won't let you do that" Brenda declined her offer she didn't like owing people

"I want to and you wont have to pay me back plus it looks perfect on you!"cath said stubbornly

"thanks cath your the first friend I've had in a long time."

"your welcome brenda your my first real friend in a long time too" cath smiled sincerly and she went to pay

they walked home and both admired the beautiful somewhat calm streets

"its amazing how this town is so .. beautiful , everything is just perfect that it seems fake... " cath explained " and people walk by calmly not bothering to admire the beauty around them"

"they got used to the beauty..." brenda explained as she noticed a family going for a walk a mother two children a baby in the stroller and a pup, they seemed so happy

"good afternoon" the young lady smiled

cath and brenda smiled back and waved as the family walked past them

"they seem really happy , everyone here seems really happy actually" cath smiled as she looked at the tall trees in awe ... "hear that?" cath asked " this is the sound of beauty" " the smell of beauty and the sight of beauty... i never knew a place like ths could exist" she finished

"it is .. and I've spend so much time admiring it that i find myself wandring off in the town.." brenda agreed

they stopped at the same cross walk as before

"brenda ! i just love your outfit!!!" a similar voice squealed

"Hey Katie, thanks" Brenda smiled

"I'd love to stay and chat by I'm in a hurry right now bye love you see you in a little" Katie rushed and waved as she ran off

They crossed the street ... "thanks again for the dress" Brenda said for the millionth time since they left the store

"What movie genres do you like?" Brenda asked as she opened the door o her house ..

"Comedy ,horror , suspension"

"Cool I like those too, but I love disney movies "

"Me too!" Cath squealed following Brenda in the living room

"Do you want to spend the night?" Brenda asked

"Is it okay with your parents?"

"I live alone ,actually" Brenda gave a small smile... Let's just say it was something she didn't want to talk about

"Oh , then sure" Cath said excited

"You put Netflix and you can choose a movie while I make the popcorn, okay?" Brenda explained happy as well Cath really made her forget about her worries today ... but Cath wasn't able to get Matt of her mind all day ...

"Okay!" Cath said as she browsed through Netflix

~half way into movie~

Brenda's phone interrupted the movie they choose which happened to be if I stay which made Brenda cry because of two reasons ... that was the last movie her and Matt saw and the movie is pretty emotional itself ...

"Put pause please" Brenda asked as she reached for her phone and answered not bothering to look at the caller ID

Brenda walked into the kitchen leaving Cath on the couch

"Hello?"

"Brenda?" The voice was familiar , it belonged to the love of her life ... but it couldn't be him ... he was in a coma

"Yes?, who are you? "

"Brenda I've missed you so much "

"Who are you?"

"I'm your best friend , please don't give up on me please"

This got Brenda to have a depression attack

"Matt?" she whispered and the lump in her throat was noticeable

"Please read to me please..."

"Is this some kind of sick joke?!? She whisper yelled now in tears

"Brenda please I need you, please come read to me like you always do at 6pm please"

"Stop this is cruel! your not Matt" she looked at the time and it was about to be 6 only 15 mins left ... and her eyes widened ... how did the person know she always goes to visit Matt at this time and that she reads to him ...

"Please Brenda I need you don't leav-"

The line went dead...

"MATT?!? MATT ?? NO NO PLEASE MATT" Brenda yelled startling Cath

She fell to her knees and had an emotional break down ... she checked the clock again only 10 mins left

"Cath I have to go I'll be back okay?" she didn't wait for a response Brenda pushed past her and went to get her journal

"I'm sorry just .. ill be back" was all she said before she left running down the street not bothering to stop at the crosswalk , there weren't any cars coming

She walked in the waiting room and smiled at the lady "hi"

"Wait swe-" the lady tried to get her attention but Brenda ignored

And ran to the room noticing that there was only 2 mins left ... she barged in and he wasn't there

"Matt?!?" she cried falling to her knees
