Famous Love

Not yours

Elle.

I got into his room. It was neat, unlike mine. I took the first aid kit from his wardrobe and went back to the living room.

He was lying on his sofa, staring at me while I was doing the little I knew about first aid.

He didn't stop staring at me and it kinda felt uncomfortable.

I returned the kit and found him staring. It was deep. Too deep.

''Okay, are you done?'' I asked him

''Doing what?'' He asked. I was a hundred percent sure he knew what I was talking about.

''Stop staring, its creepy."

''What's creepy about admiring your beauty?'' He replied. I rolled my eyes.

''I'm leaving.''

''Please stay...''

''Yeeeeah, No!'' I walked out and he followed me behind.

''So its gonna be like that?'' He sat straight.

''What do you want from me Brandon?'' I asked turning around to face him.

''I want you Elle. I've wanted you ever since I saw you. Working at the point. Goddamn it, I would do anything to have you...''

No one has ever poured his heart to me the way he did. I felt so horrible, I did not feel the same way. How would I tell him?

''... And I know its so sudden and you did not, at all, expect this but its killing me. Seeing you everyday and not getting the chance to tell you how much I love you...''

I had to interrupt him. The more I heard him the more I felt guilty.

''Please just stop.'' He stopped. I did not want to break his heart. ''I'm so sorry...''

I looked at him in the eye and just looked away. ''I'll have to think about it.''

When I lie, I don't look you in the eye. If Brandon knew me well enough he would have noted.

But what if he did realize and he did not want to tell me. I walked out and waited for a cab outside.

It started raining. This night wasn't going on very well.

Just as the cab arrived, Brandon came out with an umbrella. I looked at him and saw the disappointment in his eyes.

''Thank you.'' I just moved my lips then smiled at him before getting in the cab. Fuck! Dana would be so mad.

I had to tell him I did not have any feelings for him. Anything beyond friendship. How could I? I already lied that I would think about it.

I reached home. It stopped raining. I got into my PJ's, something I wanted to do first all night. I was too tired to watch a movie so I went straight to bed.

But I couldn't sleep. What if Brandon and I...

What the fuck, Elle. You lied about thinking about it. How would Dana feel?

I could not betray a true friend. Even if it meant hurting a person I don't love. That didn't sound so horrible in my head.

It wasn't that complicated. I just didn't have the guts to tell him the truth.

I closed my eyes so hard praying to get some sleep untill I heard my phone buzz.

Brandon
You up?

I stared at my phone wondering if I should reply to the text or not.

I switched off my phone and tried to sleep.

The next day I woke up. I got into the shower and afterwards I switched on my phone.

It was buzzing like crazy. I never recieved attention like that.

46 messages and 12 missed calls. Only one night?

Becky
The fuck Elle!

Elle, call me.

Call me when you get my messages!!!

Alert!!!!!!

Diaz is on fire, you need to come.

Shit, Diaz is on fire?

I put on my sweat shirt, jeans and sneakers. I took my phone and keys and went straight to the hotel.
