The girl probably going to go around all day or week expecting a phone call and will she get it? Maybe, maybe not. And if she doesn't get it maybe she'll get sad, disappointed or angry and all because she fancied the boy laughing in front of me that called her an angel.

But still, I laugh and not because of what he did to the girl but because of the cheesy pickup line but still, I feel extremely guilty afterwards. He really is a total asshole but somehow. I really enjoy being with him and I don't think I've ever laughed this much in a really long time.

Then Brandon starts to talk about his group of friends while we drink our frappuccinos and I briefly comment on how much I ship Alexander and Ash. Brandon entire face lits up and he starts to talk about how much he also loves them together and how much they love each other in secret.

He tells me about how he one day went over to Alexander house to make sure everything was fine because Alexander family had left town and asked Brandon to check out their house once or twice just to be safe and maybe stay over. He tells me how he enters Alexander  Room to find Ash sleeping in the bed with only his boxers wearing Alexander shirt while clutching another one of Alexander shirts. Once or twice he was murmuring Alexander name. Brandon tells me how he sent a picture of the scene and told Alexander and that he didn't get an answer. Instead, Alexander showed up two days later alone without his family 2 weeks earlier than he should've and stormed into his room hugging and kissing Ash while Brandon was watching from the peeping hole.

I have to smile at that. I like Ash lot and before I saw him and Alexander together I thought that Ash deserves better than a grumpy mean person and now I still think Ash deserves the best and that he got it. I don't think one can find a better person than Alexander for Ash that loves his nerdiness and endless talk of Star Wars. He loves Ash the way he is no matter how many annoying eyes rolls Ash gets from literally every person that's acquainted with him. I wish every person could be like that towards their lover and not a cheating manipulative bitch.

"So what are your hobbies? I do yoga and I enjoy swimming although it ruins my makeup." Brandon interrupts my thinking and I blush at the question. Is it embarrassing? I mean is it something normal or cool or is it totally lame?

"Hey it's fine you can tell me I won't laugh or judge." He says noticing my reaction. "Is it Disney channel? Are you still hung up on Kim Possible?" I smile. "Oh, I know! You play Pokémon Go and you pretend to go to the grocery store but secretly you're actually on a quest to catch some rare pokémon!" I laugh at that."Is it porn?" I literally choke on my drink and start coughing. Okay, I should tell him otherwise he'll think it's something worse than all that.

"Um, I sketch" Clare is really good at drawing and at anything that has to do with art. I only sketch doodle-like and mostly unimportant stuff but I do have a weird habit of always doing wings. Different kinds of wings and I also have a thing for hands. No idea why.

"Interesting. Was that so embarrassing?" He says and gives me a sarcastic smile.

"...and I um.. love archery and cooking" I admit. Brandon's eyes widen with surprise but then he gives me a big grin.

"Omg really?! That's not embarrassing that's so cool! How long have you been doing this? How far can you shoot? Can you shoot moving targets?! Can you shoot with any bow? Even if it's broken?! Does this mean you're good with knives too? Are you like a ninja?! Omg, do you have Shurikens hidden on you in case of an attack?!" Brandon asks question after question with such great enthusiasm he sounds like when Ash is talking about Star Wars. Now I know what Ash means when he said Alexander tells him, that in their group Brandon is always the one talking to the point of annoyance but I don't find it annoying. I find it rather amusing and I'm actually happy that he seems to like my hobby.

My passion for archery is something else. It's the only thing keeping me grounded. I need it like I need air especially after what happened. I stopped smiling, I stopped eating like before and I became more distant. People have different ways of dealing. Some do boxing and others run. Alex does boxing and he used to bring me along. He said he can let go of everything there and just punch. Other people run or do other activities.

People also have different ways of dealing with sadness when you're in it too deep that you just want to feel something. Anything. Others don't want to feel at all. Some get drunk and do drugs. Others use sex. Others do self-harm and maybe cut themselves. But for me?

I have archery and cooking.

It's in that moment when you don't think as you aim at your target and just thoughtlessly release the arrow. Then right after you've done that, even if you know it will hit where you intended it to hit, just for a brief second, you start to worry. " Will it really hit?" It's at that moment when you drop everything and just focus on that thought. Then when it does hit where you wanted it to hit you forget everything and just feel that proud happiness over yourself that makes everything so worth it. You do that arrow after arrow and slowly everything starts disappearing. You do that until your fingers bleed and you get lost in the sensation that is archery. You feel.

The worst part of it is when you come home to your family's ignoring looks and snarling comments and everything comes crashing back into your brain. But at least you got some peace.

    "Braze?" Brandon snaps me back to reality and I realise I've been silent for a long time. I'm about to answer all of his questions when he beats me to it like always. "Are you tired? I suppose we have been sitting here for long. Let's go" Brandon goes up and I start to collect my things.Then I look up and I see him talking to the male barista who is smiling at him with a blush clear on his face. Brandon turns around and discreetly winks at me to come. I head over there."...suppose you're tired," Brandon tells the barista. Oh, no same pickup line?! "But well you should be," Brandon says while smirking seductively. " Because you've been running through my mind all day." He says and winks again. The barista blushes harder and Brandon still smirking exits the store.God he really is a player and that pick up line sucked more than the other one. I smile at the barista who looks like he doesn't kn

    I just stand there and take it to punch after punch recalling all the horrible things I've done and I'm almost glad that this is happening. I know it's weird but I'm almost relieved that I'm finally facing the consequences I deserve. I almost smile at that.Suddenly Aldertree stops and I look up slowly my body trembling and see Jia holding up her hand but Mel is still holding me firmly. She approaches me with a smirk and I flinch."First Alex and now Brandon, Braze? You can't seem to back off."Wait for what?! What does Brandon have to do with anything? Is it because of the smiles? But they're only greetings!"W-what-what?" I manage to say because I still can't breathe properly and I'm standing there panting for my life after the many hits to my stomach and my whole body is shaking and I would probably fall on the ground if it weren't for Mel strong arms. Then Aldertree grabs my collar and puts his face so

I start to pull on my shirt but Ash stops me his eyes wide and swallows."Braze who did this to you? A-an-and when? An-and for how long? And where were we the whole time?" Ash asks faintly fighting his tears but I can no longer fight my own and I start to cry. Ash puts his shaking arm around me and hugs me."Braze listens, please answer the questions I need to know. Please"And I do it because I can't fight anymore. Because I'm pathetic." I-It's A-Aldertree a-an-and M-Mel. F-for a-about s-seven w-weeks

    I feel the shaking arms around me let go and Mel rushes out of the room at the same time as I tumble on the ground struggling to breathe. Aldertree starts to stand but doesn't really succeed and Brandon uses the same voice he used on Mel that sends shivers down my entire body "Leave..and for your sake, I hope you know what will happen if you ever touch my Braze again."Aldertree nods desperately and starts to stand up while limping his way out of here however when he was about to go through the door Alexander stretches out one of his legs where Aldertree is just about to walk causing Aldertree to stumble and fall on the other side of the door that Alexander closes while showing his middle finger. Brandon rushes over to my trembling panting body and carefully lifts up my face."They didn't hurt your face huh? Smart. Are you okay Flower? Where does it hurt to tell me."

    Brandon takes one step forward with a face that hides all possible emotions and it gives me goose bumps."Braze. Why were they beating you up? Don't bother lying those guys usually don't meddle with other people's business unless they have a reason to. So tell me and be honest."He says firmly and looks at me with a stone serious face. I start to panic because what am I supposed to say? I definitely can't say anything about Jia and her reasons because that's off limits. But I could tell him about Aldertree and Mel but how am I supposed to tell him that he is the reason. I bite my lip and stay quiet. Then Brandon nods."It's because of me isn't it?" he states and I start to protest but he holds up a hand silencing me. He walks over to me."Lift up your shirt"I blush because A) my body is covered in bruises and I don't want him to see that because then he'll feel guilty B) I don't want him seeing my disgusting bruises C) THE Brandon is gonna see me shirtless and I've been around enough t

I give Brandon a panicked look and he's about to answer the detective when a familiar voice does it instead:"Because I gave them permission to do so"We turn around and see Hodge approaching us.The detective huffs. "You were the one that called us right? How come you gave them permission to enter the school alone and how did you know that Jia was going to be there?"Hodge clears his throat. "Well you see, they suspected that our school receptionist suicide was not really a suicide and eventually they found what they believe is the stolen video.

    We're on our way to drop off Nia and Elven when Ash stops the car two blocks away from Elven house."Thanks for coming Elven." Ash says. At least thirty seconds pass with pure silence before Ash turns around and looks at Elven. "Why are you still here?"Elven is utterly confused and Nia speaks up, " Elven, I think he wants you to get out of the car. You've annoyed him today so he stopped the car a few blocks away from your house because he wants revenge." Nia explains and you can see the realisation dawning on Elven."So wait...you're mad at me?!!" Elven asks like he can't believe it.Ash glares at him. Elvem and Alexander turns to Elven and say at the same time: "Get out."Elven puts his hands up in defence. "Fine whatever. Nia come on."Nia looks up at him and raises her eyebrows.Elven gapes. "Nia!

I stop coughing and instead try to breathe properly but I can't help but let out a little after cough.I smile guiltily. "Sorry for ruining the mood.."Brandon kisses me again. "Darling.

"Ash enough. You're gonna get us in trouble and your theory is absurd. Thank you, I mean it, but we can't go blaming everything on Jia as soon as something bad happens because we want to bring her down."Ash gives out a frustrated sound and start to scratch his hair.
