Clara

His words still play in my mind, what do I have to do in this situation, what are his expectations. I went over to Brandon's side, I found him watering the garden, I skipped school today. He was surprised to see me too.

Brandon: What are you doing here?
Clara: You thought I was going to sit back and let the distance broke us apart
Brandon: What distance?
Clara: We are losing touch with each other
Brandon: That's not true Clara
Clara: Well what's the truth then, how do you explain the fact that I have seen you 4 days ago
Brandon: Because I wasn't in the mood to see you, you know I would've shown up if I needed you
Clara: Because the relationship is all yours, you do what pleases you
Brandon: Do you call it a relationship?
Clara: What do you call it?
Brandon: I don't remember putting an agreement with you about the relationship
Clara: You told me you love me!!
Brandon: Yes because I love you, but sometimes we love people only to find that we don't want to be with them or start a thing with them
Clara: What are you trying to say?
Brandon: You have put your words in my mouth, what I had with you was supposed to end the very same night of your party
Clara: Stop it, Brandon, stop hurting me!!
Brandon: I want you out of my life Clara!!
Clara: Do you have to hurt me this much? you should've told me that you are no longer interested in me than hurting me
Brandon: I just did that
Clara: Who are you? You are not the guy that I have fallen for, you are too different
Brandon: I am just being myself, the person you are referring to is the same person that you created
Clara: I did nothing to you
Brandon: Yeah you did nothing, excuse me I should return to work

I turned and leave without looking back.

Monica

Days went on as I was struggling to accept my pregnancy, it was hurting ever since I was all alone in this. William would come and check up on my days and nights, I used to throw him out until I got tired ever since he didn't quit. It's recess days, everyone vacated except me. I was enjoying my recess days until the res manager says everyone should vacate, no student is allowed to be at the residence. I am stressed as I am packing my bag, I have no place to stay so I thought being here will at least shelter me as I am still trying to check on the sides to make a means of living, it's me going back to that place, No I am not going back. I don't know where to go because Brandon said he needs time to process everything, even today I assume he is still processing so I am not going to force myself in. I glance at his mother's number being tempted to call her but I fought that thought, I can't please my parents to go to their neighbor, I want them to wonder where I am, I want them to regret their decision, talking about the decision my mother tried to call me few times until our call gets intruded by him, he ended our call and since from that day I never heard from her. My father has always been cold-hearted, I could see how he treats other people but honestly speaking I didn't see myself being treated like that, I always thought he will never do that to me, thinking of my parents breaks me apart. I was done with everything now, I took my small bag and take a few steps, there is a knock on my door, I opened it.

William: I am so glad I found you here
Monica: What can I do for you, I should leave
William: I know that that's why I want you to come with me
Monica: Come with you, to where?
William: I am taking you to my creep
Monica: That's insane
William: I know it can be insane but we both know I am your only hope
Monica: Says who? What are you talking about?
William: I know that you are homeless because of this pregnancy
Monica: ( I frowned, I didn't expect that) Ooh, how do you know that?
William: Ask no question and hear no lie
Monica: Are you stalking me?
William: I thought I confessed a long time ago and we are over that one, I have a room for you so it's up to you if you take the offer or not
Monica: I am saying no to that
William: Don't be hard on yourself we both know that I am your last hope
Monica: I will rather sleep on a dumping site than leaving with you
William: Why are you doing this to me?
Monica: Because I hate you!!!
William: Why do you hate me, I have been good to you, I am trying days and nights to treat you right while on your side your hates grow, why Monica?
Monica: I don't know, I just hate you! ( Tears are now sliding out of my eyes, I hate him so much)
William: I am sorry Monica

He got closer and gave me warm hug, I just stand still as my body trembles, which sends goosebumps to my stomach, he hugged me tight, I felt comfortable in his arms as I started letting it all out wetting his shirt, this is the first time I got this close with him and being in his arms feels so right. He wiped my tears and took my bag and he holds me by hand as we vacate to Lord know where we are going.

Brandon

Gabriella: Hello Brandon
Brandon: Hey, I am glad you came, I never thought you will show up
Gabriella: I had my mental conflict before I could come
Brandon: I am so glad that the decision you made leads you here
Gabriella: Yeah sure, why am I here?
Brandon: I thought we should talk, about us
Gabriella: About us? What about us?
Brandon: I needed to rectify my mistakes, what I made in the past wasn't good to you, I know I have hurt you and I am sorry for that
Gabriella: I will be lying if I can say it didn't get to me, I found myself having endless questions like how could you do this to me? You mislead me and went for her Brandon
Brandon: I was still young and Naive, I couldn't point out between right and wrong please understand that I didn't do that intentionally, I was just carried out my feelings
Gabriella: Everyone knew I had a crush on you so why could you do that in public, I felt like a dump
Brandon: I was just doing what I thought it's right I forgot ( I sighed) I forgot about your feelings or I never cared about how you would feel about it, I am truly sorry I was just blinded by love
Gabriella: At least you see your mistakes
Brandon: And I am brave to apologize
Gabriella: After so many years why did you wait for today to apologize?
Brandon: Because I noted I just lost a real woman
Gabriella: That's funny
Brandon: I am being for real with you Gabriella I love you, I enjoyed your company, we used to have a good thing rolling, and again you made me gain the confidence of falling in love so she was fast enough to steal your chance of me being with you
Gabriella: That's true, we had the good thing that didn't lead you to me when you had to choose
Brandon: I am sorry it didn't be you, but I am here today because I couldn't stay away, I always think of you
Gabriella: What about Monica?
Brandon: You still have a thing for me?
Gabriella: I hate to admit it but I am still crushing over you
Brandon: Then let me be your man, give us a chance, take a risk on us, please
Gabriella: I don't know Brandon, last time you had me heartbroken, it's crazy because I wasn't in love with you but you broke my heart, I don't know if you are to be trusted
Brandon: When you love somebody you can wait, I am willing to wait for you, take your time, my love got nowhere to go, I have been waiting for so long to this moment and if I can't have it then it means I will wait over again.
Gabriella: Why me Brandon?
Brandon: Because I love you so much, I have been to patiently waiting for the chance to express my love, the chance to explore the world of love with you, I am different, I came to you with good intention I am not like other dudes who are going to break you and leave you please believe in me
Gabriella: You have said enough, let me think of you
Brandon: Take your time and return to me, I am hoping for the best feedback
Gabriella: I can't promise you anything
Brandon: As long as you know that I love you ( I went closer and try to kiss her, she took few steps back to prevent me from kissing her) I guess we will talk over the phone call until I hear from you
Gabriella: Have a good day Brandon
Brandon: You are more beautiful

I said that screaming a little louder as she was stepping away. I was talking with Gabriella through Facebook inbox then we decided to meet, oh and the phone Michael got me a new phone three days ago, John brought it to me, he told me its a present from Michael for appreciation plus they say it's hard to get hold of me. That's how I was able to connect with Gabriella

John

John: Michael
Michael: So you mean he loves the present?
John: He couldn't stop appreciating
Michael: Finish your task I want us to get into the business
John: I believe it's gonna be a little bit hard we both know he is a saint
Michael: He has no backbone it won't be a tough task
John: True that just that he didn't know what we are involved in
Michael: Or maybe we should go for plan B
John: No let's stick with plan A then we will go to Plan B if our plan A Fails
Michael: Okay if you say so, I trust you
John: I got you
Michael: Let's talk later
John: I will pop by later
Michael: I will see you then
John: Goodbye
