Chapter 50

We be emotional after that last chapter let me tell you. Here is the beautiful Holly! Also known as Grape to Brian! The song is Miracle by Blackmill! I'm sorry the quality of the picture is so shit idk why it is :/

(Hopes POV)

     I wrap my arms around Brian's chest as he's talking with Autumn and Holly. He turns and looks down at me as he starts to laugh.

     "Hey, there shortcake, wait how in the hell did you get out of detention?" He asks as he gives me a confused look. I shrug my shoulders and lay my head on him. I see both Autumn and Holly give each other a look, I already knew what they were thinking.

     "Simple, I just didn't go. I mean you seem happier now that I'm here." I say giving him a wink. Holly starts to cough as Autumn lets out a quick gasp. Brian looks at the two.

     "Why don't you two just date already, I can tell that you both like each other, Holly can tell, everyone can tell. You two are killing us here by not going out with each other already." Autumn says as she smiles. When I said be my wingman I thought they would oh I don't know, put more effort into it. I feel my cheeks heat up as I let go of Brian. He starts to chuckle and shakes his head.

     "See, she's annoying as all hell, but I'm too invested into our friendship that I can't just ditch her. She's like... she's like... AH! She's like lice, that's what she is, you try to get rid of her, but she'll come back eventually." He elbows me and smiles. I'm getting compared to a fucking parasite, a good way to show your love Brian, really appreciate it.

     "Let's just ditch already, it's your guy's last day of senior year and I really don't want to go back to Organic Chemistry or to detention." I turn around and start walking towards the back entrance of the school.

     "Holly and I need to grab our things and we'll meet you out at Brian's car alright?" Autumn calls out to me, I hear Brian run to my side as we walk out of the school. He pulls me out of sight of the door and backs me up against the brick wall.

     "She's right you know, we both do have something for each other." He wraps his hands around my waist as he closes the gap between us. Then why don't you do something about it! You should know me Brian, I don't like making the first move.

     "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have a thing for you, just so you know. You already know what my type is anyway." Bad boys that look exactly like you and are named Brian Hanby. He rolls his eyes and smirks at me.

     "Well, then, I guess I'll just have to wait till I know your feelings are returned." He dramatically says as he lets go of me and starts walking to the parking lot. Nice job stupid, because you're too scared to say anything about liking him, you're going to have to wait even longer to date him now.

     Why do these memories of Brian and I keep taking over my head? The last thing I remember was boarding the plane from Los Santos now I'm here in Liberty City airport.  I really need to stop dissociating. I set down my bag and run over to Holly who had her arms open to me. I went into them and started crying into her shoulder as she gave me a tight embrace.

     "I just... don't know what to do anymore. I need a break." I said quietly through my tears. She patted me on the back as another pair of arms wrapped around us. I look and see Ryan hugging the both of us.

     "You can stay as long as you want, you're always welcome here," Bryce says next to us. Ryan lets go of us and I let go of Holly. I look over at John as he's carrying my bag. I walk over to him and wrap my arms around him.
