Chapter 7

Cody leans in to kiss me and I pull away. I turned my head because I wanted him to get the message.
"I'm sorry Bri if I made you uncomfortable, I thought it was the right time," Cody said.
"No it's ok it's just I wanted to tell you that I see you as a friend." I replied to him.
"What do you mean? I thought you wanted to date me. Your mom-"
"My mom hates my boyfriend, I've known him since 5th grade and we started dating almost 2 years ago. He was there for me when my father passed away. When I met you the first time I didn't like you because you were rude and talked about yourself. But now you matured. I'm sorry Cody, I really am. But we can be friends if you want." I said while tears are running down my cheeks.
He sighs and wiped the tears off my face.
"It's ok and of course I'll be friends with you. You're a special girl and I don't want to lose you. Yea I remember how I felt after the first time we met. I felt ashamed and bad that I treated you like that. But can we please hangout when you have the chance? If your boyfriend doesn't mind."
I nodded and we hugged it out. I felt his heart beating so fast. I let go of him and said I had to go home. He agreed and walked me out the door and held my high heels for me.
"Thanks again for everything and I'll text you so we can hangout soon," I smiled and hugged him again.
"Yea sure whenever your free just let me know." And before I left he handed me my heels and kissed me on the cheek, he blushed and then closed the door. As I'm walking to my car I call Bryan.
"So how did it go?"
"Great I told him that I see him as a friend and that I already love you. He said that we can stay friends and hangout if that's ok with you," I replied.
"Yea that's ok, I'm happy that he understood you Bri," he said.
"Yea me too, I'll call you when I get home because I'm about to drive."
"Ok I love  you and drive safe."
I ended the call and sighed with relief.
I get to my house and park my car in the drive way. As I'm walking in my house my mom is standing in front of the stairway and she looks mad.
"Why the hell did you tell Cody you just wanted to be friends?!" She yelled at me.
"I love Bryan and not Cody. Cody understood me when I said we can be friends and he agreed."
"No No Brianna! Me setting you up with Cody was for your own good. Bryan isn't rich. He can't take care of you or your future kids when you get married Brianna. You have to break up with Bryan tonight!" She yelled.
"But mom he was there for me when dad died! He would stay up with me while I was crying my heart out! He didn't leave my side when I needed him! Please I love him!" I pleaded her.
"I will give you one week and you better call it off with Bryan! End of discussion," she said as she walked into her room.
I run into my room and slam the door behind me. I finally let all my emotions get the best of me. I buried my face in my pillow and I cried. I cried so hard that my eyes got red and puffy. I wanted to get out of this trap that I was living in. I didn't want to be with my mother no more. My maid Sally was in my closet and she walked out.
"Sorry Ms. Bella I was cleaning and organizing your closet." She apologized.
"It's ok, you don't have to apologize." I said to her.
She then came over to my bed and kneeled beside me. She was pushing my hair back so it wouldn't get in my face with tears.
"It's ok Ms.Bella, your mother will understand your love for Bryan is true," she said calmly.
"You think?" I said sitting up.
"Yes, just give it time."
"I can't she wants me to call it off by the end of next week. I can't leave Bryan I love him!" And I started crying in her arms.
Sally then hugged me and said," it's ok Ms.Bella she'll understand. Don't rebel against her or she'll change her mind. Try to spend time with your mom so she can change her mind."
I wiped my tears off my face and said," Thanks Sally." And hugged her. She then got up and left my room. After she left I FaceTime Bryan and he was shook.
"Brianna what happened?!"
"I'm fine now. My mom was pissed about the Cody thing."
"What the hell did he snitch?"
"Well she was going to find out one way or another.But Bryan," I started crying again, "She wants me to call it off with you."
There was silence for ten seconds.
"Bryan I don't want to lose you! I love you and I need you!" I said crying.
"Brianna I'm coming to your house." And then he hung up the call.
I rushed out of bed and took my dress off and put on some jogger an oversized tee shirt and my slides. Then I check my moms door and she's sound asleep. I go downstairs and I get some water because I was losing my voice since I was crying. Bryan texted me that he was outside and I ran to the door.
