Chapter 22🖤

Allesia cara-River of tears

The school day goes by faster than usual and I am glad I haven't had to see Emily or Brandon. That somehow gave me an amazing day, not a healing day but less painful. I am walking home with Eli today and so far he has been quiet, leaving me stuck with my thoughts. I really was expecting Ash to tell me that she told me so but all I got was a pitiful smile.

"So now what happens between you guys" Eli breaks the silence. I bite on my bottom lip trying to get him a sensible answer.

"I don't know really" I answer.

"Anna you can't get back with him, there is more you don't know" Eli says.

"What do you mean? What do I not know?" I am not sure if I want to know, whatever it is will tear me apart.

"All I mean is that Anna, obviously this guy is bad news and there might be more associated with him." I know this is all true but Brandon is like my own Harry and I am not sure if I can ever change how I feel about him. I simply let out a heavy sigh and Eli hugs me before taking his way home leaving me alone with my thoughts.

"You took a little longer than I thought you would" I turn to see Brandon standing in his usual spot near Mrs Green's corner.

"What does that mean?" I ask.

"I mean your hugs with Eli took quite some time" he says.

"Okay" I try to walk away.

Brandon grabs my arm. " Really you won't even give me a chance to explain myself?"

"You want a chance to explain yourself? What do you want to explain" I take a step from him.

"Riann I'm sorry okay, about kissing Emily and going with her to her house. I'm sorry about kissing Sarah at the party" he says.

"Wait what, kissing Emily?" I ask.

"Yeah, Leah told you, I know." he runs his hand on his hair.

"Shit, she didn't tell you" he says after noticing my expression. I keep quiet just looking at him.

"Were you ever going to tell me?" I finally say. He tries to hold me but I step back.

"Don't you dare" I say, my voice Stern.

"I don't know...maybe" he says.

"A yes or a no dammit" I try to yell but my voice comes out as a whisper.

"No...for your sake no" he says. I turn to walk away but he grabs my arm. Within seconds I feel my hand on Brandon's cheek.

"Stay as far away from me as you can" I warn.

"Riann...Riann please, I love you" he begs. Harry begged Tessa but went back on his word, why would Brandon be any different?. Harry told Tessa he loved her when she was about to walk away, only so that she stayed, even promised her marriage. I am not going to be Tessa, not ever.

"Stay away from me." With that I walk away, leaving Brandon all by himself calling after me.
