MINE

Chapter 30

"Brianna Rosella Blake do you take Mitch Jadon Sombrero..."

Brianna scoffed.
What sort of stupidly ridiculous name is that? Sombrero. Does he even know what it means? She thought.

"... to love and cherish him, to respect and honour him, to be totally submissive to him in richer and in poorer, for better and the for-"

"Ugh cut that shit out already. You're wasting your time old man. How much did they pay you huh? Can't you see this is a forceful wedding? They're holding a fucking revolver to my head." Brianna interrupted the old man celebrating they're so called wedding.

"You had better not create a scene here young lady. Your lives are at stake." One of Mitch's men said pointing at Brianna's family, each of them having a revolver behind their heads.

"I'm not stupid you idiot. You would never do that. You would neither harm my family nor myself. You know why? Because that monster you call boss needs us" she replied looking at the individual from head to toe and back.

"You're right. I need you all." Mitch said facing Brianna. "I bet you also know that I don't need your little celebrity guy. I bet you also know that I'll not hesitate to bring him down if you keep wasting our time" he said void of emotions.

"You will do no such thing." Brianna said confidently because she was certain Everly was very far.

"You think?" Mitch scoffed.

They heard gunshots outside the hall and in no time a group of police officers rushed in, Everly was behind them. He saw Brianna's state and shot the guy holding the pistol to her head without thinking.

"B RUN" he shouted Urging her to come down.

As she turned to behold her beloved a revolver was fired behind her.
She saw the bullet flying slowly to Everly's forehead and boom.

"Noooooooooo" she shrieked, panting like a cheater who just covered a hundred kilometres square. She was all sweaty.

Her sisters who where sleeping besides her jolted in shock and fear. They saw their panting sister between them and their fear immediately disappeared.

They tried comforting and reassuring her that it was just a dream.

Brianna have not had a nightmare in ages.
The manner in which her mother announced the marriage issue to her last night was just inappropriate. If Brianna was a hypertensive patient she certainly would have had a seizure or an attack.
That was probably why she had a nightmare.

After having her bath she still could not get the horrid images out of her head so she decided to recount her nightmare to her sisters.

"Oh my God this is not gonna happen, no it's not." Patra said after hearing her sisters dream.

"Yeah it's never gonna happen. It's just a dream, yeah, just a dream." She said more like convincing herself than reassuring her sister.

"Are you going to work today Bri?" Patra asked in an attempt to change the topic.

"Yeah I guess I am. I've got to think about others things. Going to the Casa might be helpful I just hope I don't carry a negative vibe along." She replied and drank from her glass of water.

"Uhm you've still not returned any of Everly's calls or texts. He might be worried sick." Kels said putting Brianna's phone in her open palm.

She took in a deep breath, then released it.
"I'll see him in the afternoon. I don't know how he's gonna react to it but I'll have to tell him."

"Dude you have a text from an unknown number" Gorge said to Everly who was making breakfast.

"What does it say?" He asked.

"Hey handsome! I'll be in California in a couple of hours. With two grinning emogies and a the hug emogi." Gorge said in a fake female voice.

"Ugh, reply." Everly said in disgust.

"Nah you just tell me what to say." Gorge replied giving Everly the you-know-what-I-can-do look.

"Oh great! Hope you have a nice time and have fun." Everly said and Gorge chuckled.

"What?" Everly asked.

"Nothing. Oh a new text. She said she thought you would invite her over with the puppy eyes emogie." Gorge rolled his eyes.

"In her dreams. Please just reply already." Everly said feeling two mugs with hot chocolate.

"Done: I don't think my girlfriend will like that. I'm kinda busy right now so safe journey." Gorge replied grabbing a mug.

"Perfect. Now let's eat." Everly said digging in his meal.

"Don't forget to let Bri know about your ex and her coming over and tell her everything." Gorge said a mouthful of bread.

"Sure. I hope she's fine. She's not returned any of my calls or texts since last night." Everly said staring his hot chocolate.

"Worry not son. She'll be here in a couple of hours." Gorge said glancing at his wristwatch he finished eating and went to his room to get his backpack.

"Remember we're having Chinese for dinner tonight." Everly said putting the dishes in the sink.

"No. Italian." Gorge replied.

"Whatever. Just be a good boy and don't be late okay?" Everly instructed.

"Okay dad!" Gorge said as he closed the door behind him.

Everly took his lap top and started typing on it.
He was working on a new book, he was so into it that he did not notice how time passed whenever he started typing.

After a couple of hours someone knocked at the door.
He horridly saved his work and kept his laptop.
He did not want Brianna to see it until it was finished.
That's simply because it was inspired by her and it was kind of about her.

"Coming!" he said as he ran to the door.
