A smile pushed past my lips and shuffle over to the bed with the giant stuffed animal dog sprawled out across it. Leaning forward I picked the enormous stuffed animal up and hugged it tightly shoving my face into its pitch black fur inhaling its sent. It strangely smelt like Jaime, which sent a smile across my face and caused a heat to travel from the back of my neck and settle upon my cheeks causing my face to turn a soft shade of pink, almost bashful. Sitting on the edge of my bed, I lent backwards cuddling the stuffed animal and snuggling my body into my black bed, using my free hand to reach over and grab the other items that Jaime apprently brought but placed them on my nightstand. Setting the liquor to the side of my body I grabbed a soft brown blanket and guided it across my body, shivering slightly from the feeling of fabric against my bare legs.
"I don't know if I should still be mad at him... Or if I should be swooning over him because he is such a nice and sweet caring boyfriend and just über cute..." I mumbled softly stroking the head and ears of my stuffed animal slightly wishing it was a real dog. Looking down I let a sigh push out of my lungs.
"Why am I asking you? You can't speak.." I mumbled softly continuing to pet the fake apology dog..A smile pushed past my lips as I reached over and grabbed the bottle of wine and uncapped the top, bringing it upward to my mouth I took a big drink. The taste tingling in my mouth causing soft giggles to escape my talk box. I lent over and grabbed my phone taking a selfi of myself and the dog with the wine clutched in my left hand, with the caption reading, 'my boyfriends apology gifts.'
"Well then." I was slightly startled by a voice, my head shooting upwards to see a Chloe perched against my door frame with one knee upwards and her arms crossed across her chest.
"May I help you assbutt?" I stated cocking my eyebrow slightly, causing her to stifle a laugh and purse her lips.
"Atucally.. You can." She said trying to keep a serious tone in her voice, but on the edge of cracking from my word. A smile spread across my lips and i pushed my hair from my face and slightly sat upwards, a confused expression replacing my face.
"With?" I replied cocking my eyebrow upward and slightly tilting my head to the side to show my confusion.
"Well." She paused and sat on the edge of my bed pursuing her lips a bit and sighing softly.
"Never mind... I feel like he needs to tell you this himself.. But can you give Jaime a call..?" She asked, which honestly surprised me a bit.
"Erm.. Uh sure...?" I stuttered slightly completely confuse and now slightly nervous. Leaning over to my nightstand I grabbed my cellular phone and unlocked it scrolling threw my contacts until I came across Jaime's. With a soft sigh I clicked it and it immediately began to ring.
"Hello...?" A nervous voice from the other side said shakily.
"Hi Jaime..?" I asked wiggling my toes a bit to make sure they wouldn't fall asleep on me.
"Hi babe... Uhm... I need to talk to you..." He mumbled into the phone causing my mouth to grow dry.
"O-oh... A-about..?" I stuttered softly trying to regain the ability to talk.
"Babe.. No don't stress it... I was wondering if I could atucally take you out tonight? Like we go sit down or go ice skating or something?" He asked, I could almost hear a smile toying at his lips. With an exhale of relief a half smile formed and perked up one side of my mouth.
"Sure..."
"Great. Ill pick you up in 30 minutes okay?" He said and I smiled softly hanging up and setting the phone down. I pushed the blanket and stuffed animal off of myself and made my way over to my clear fumbling through my clothes.
"Band merch. Band merch.. Band merch. Band mer- Aha! Yes found it!" I exclaimed pulling out my Pretty Little Liars tee and stripping myself of my current clothing before putting on the tee. Making my way over to my drawers, I pulled out a pair of dark skinny jeans and slipped them on, along with my vans. Rushing over to my bathroom, I plugged my new hair straighter in because my old one had bits of burnt doll burned to it. Giggling slightly from old memories I began to straighten my hair until I looked, dare i say it... Hot. I winked at myself and made my way out of the bathroom, running a hand through my hair and grabbing my phone running downstairs to wait by the door.
"Hey... You okay..?" Chloe asked me flashing me a sad smile. I have her a strange look.
"Why wouldn't I be...?" I asked slightly confused.
"Oh.. Never mind.. Its nothing." She said her eyes widening a bit as she rushed into the kitchen. I bit my bottom lip shrugging off the feeling making my way outside and waiting for Jaime. He pulled up and I waved slightly climbing into his car.
"So...still mad..?" He asked a smile tugging at his lips slightly. My smile fell and I glared at him.
"Well I forgot about that untill now..so i guess im still mad." His eyes widened in response and he quickly sped out of the driveway.
"Well then." I giggled softly at him as he drove us to a park.
"Parks are lyffffeeeeeee." I exclaimed giggling a bit as we got out and walked over to the swing set. He sighed softly and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Brenna... We gotta talk..." He sighed softly
"Oh..?" I mumbled looking up at him.
"Im going to be on tour for 3 months...and I just... I leave next Monday... And I just... Im so sorry.." He said, leavings breathless and shocked.
