Chapter 2

I pulled up at the bonfire and was debating on leaving when I heard a knock on the window I looked up to see Kolby. I rolled down the window saying "Hey Kolby". "Are you getting out or are you going to sit in the truck all night?" He asked. "Brantley isn't here is he?" I asked. "Nope" he said. I sighed but got out and found Jake.

I was having a great time catching up with old friends when a truck pulled up. Everyone got excited and someone said about time y'all got here. I finally spotted who they were talking about it was Brantley and Amber. "Shit" I whispered to myself. I was heading to my truck when Jake spotted me. "Addy don't leave please" he asked. "Jake I can't be here with him around" I said. "Look I will stay by you all night to keep him and her away" he said. "Fine but if she says one thing I'm gone" fine he says. The night went on and Jake kept saying Brantley is looking at you. I just let it go and kept talking until my friend Chevi came up to me "Girl Brantley has been checking you out all night and Amber is pissed" I just rolled my eyes.

I walked down to the pier and sat down at the bench. I was just staring at the pond when Brantley walked up. "Hey Addy" he said. "Hey Brantley" I said. "Your still just as beautiful as the last day I saw you" he said. "Umm thanks" I said smiling. I heard more foot steps and turned to see who it was and I wish I hadn't "Brantley what do you think your doing with her" Amber asked. "Nothing we were just talking" Brantley said. I got up to leave whispering "I'm sorry" and as I went to walk by Amber she pushed me into the pond.

Brantley eyes grew wide and his mouth dropped, Amber on the other hand had a smirke on her face. Brantley helped me out of the pond I was freezing as its winter and only like 40º. I shook Brantley's hands off me and walked past Amber. I ran to my truck and hauled ass home. I got home and took a nice warm shower and put some camo sweatpants on and a long sleeve shirt. I was laying on my couch with my fuzzy blanket watching a movie when my door bell rang.

I opened the door to see Kolby standing there with Jake next to him. "What in the hell do y'all want now?" I asked walking back to the couch. "To check on you Addy" Kolby said while Jake shut the door. "I'm fine" I say. "I call bullshit" they say at the same time. "Well that's y'all but I'm fine...I mean what did y'all expect would happen? " I asked. "I thought you would of kicked her ass like back in the day" Jake said. "Yeah well I changed" I said. "Brantley feels bad about what happened...he is beating himself up about it" Kolby says. "Well its over and done with now" I say.

They finish watching the movie with me and leave. I was almost asleep when my phone went off letting me know I got a text.

I turned my phone off and went to bed.

Brantley's Pov:

Adalynn want talk to me now. I know I made a mistake when I broke up with her in high school and I regret it everyday. What Amber done to her was wrong and we had it out. I thought I loved Amber until Addy came back into the picture.  Now the only thing I can do is picture my life with Addy.

First thing tomorrow morning I'm going to her house. Kolby and Jake told me where she lives. I love Addy always have and always will. But then there is Amber and we are engaged. Why does love have to be so hard?

I walked into the house to a crying Amber. "Brantley please forgive me" she begs. "Me forgive you, you need to ask Addy to forgive you" I say. "I will I promise" she says. She kisses me and I go take a shower, I get out and I can't get Addy off my mind but I'm here with Amber and she will have to do. I make love to her but I take control and the whole time I'm thinking about Addy. I finish and go to bed I don't even cuddle like I usually do.
