Chapter 64: Best Friends or…

Faith’s P.O.V

“Most of Brandon’s anger stems from a one-sided story.” I sighed, watching Debby try on her new lipstick in the washroom. “I tried to tell him to stop and listen to his dad for once. To at least try and understand where-”

“Honey…are you trying to get him to break up with you?” Debby finally turned to me, her eyebrows raised as she placed a hand on her waist.

And even though I knew she didn’t mean it; that her only intension was to probably scare the shit out of me rather than actually wanting Brandon and me to break up…I couldn’t help the way my heartbeat sped up just at the thought of that.

“No.” I murmured under my breath, my voice barely above a whisper. But it turns out, Debby still heard me.

“Then you better stop talking about his dad and turn a blind eye to whatever shit they’re going through.” She instructed. “It’s what’s best for the two of you, trust me.”

“But how can I do that, Debby?” I shook my head, unable to even imagine holding

You can’t even expect a man to have his own mind! He just has to be the victim to any scheming woman, right? Then what the fuck does that make you?”“Shut the fuck up!” Letting go of my jaw, Julia turned to Debby, her leg raised to deliver another kick.That’s when I realized that my own legs were free.Just as she landed a kick right to Debby’s stomach, making her spit out, her eyes wide in horror as the wind got knocked out of her…I raised my own leg and kicked her in the stomach…making her fly back to hit the washroom door.The entire room fell silent as Julia dropped to the ground, the wind knocked out of her as

Some poser taking shelter under the community flag for attention?” Nik paced back and forth in the infirmary, her fists balled by her side and jaw clenched in anger. “Well, guess what? I was about to LGBeat the crap out of her if only Brandon didn’t get in the way! Why the fuck was he protecting her anyway?”“He wasn’t protecting her, he was protecting you.” Debby protested from the bed, wincing as I held the ice pack on the side. The kicks that Julia had left were no joke. They had left bruises and her skin was turning a shade of blue that the nurse hadn't liked.The hospital had been informed, curtsey of the Principal who had been here just a second ago, questioning us as to what had actually happened. Debby and I had told him the truth. That we had simply been in the washroom, doing our business when these girls had suddenly come out of nowhere and attacked us. I had voluntarily told him that I had kicked Julia

So I remembered to keep my voice low. As for Julia? I could only hope that she would have enough sense in her to not make this issue any bigger than it already was.“We fucked right there…on that counter.” She pointed behind me, an odd smile on her face as she looked me in the eyes. “It was the first day that bitch showed up…and she saw us fucking, remember?”I stayed quiet, not knowing where she wanted to lead this conversation.I kept my temper in check with teeth-gritting patience. Constantly having t

Why does my leg look so…thin?” Brandon’s eyes were wide as a child’s as he turned his leg around, looking at it from all possible directions while still sitting on top of the hospital bed. “And…do I have dandruff? On my freaking leg?”“Yes, Mr. Wolfram, those are indeed, dead skin cells, but I wouldn’t call them dandruff.”The doctor looked completely done with Brandon as he gave him a look of utter displeasure from the corner of his eyes. I was barely holding onto my laugh as Brandon continued to examine his leg with something akin to…excitement?“Take these medications, daily for the next month and then once every week for two more months and you should be as good as new.” The doctor handed me the prescription instead of him. “And please…do apply some moisturizer for his leg. And nothing exciting for the next four months, if he doesn’t want to end up back here again.”“Yes, doctor.” I offered him a small smile as he let out yet

If I had known that I’d be discharged tonight, I would’ve told Faith to call me over for dinner as well.After all, this was probably the first time in his life that Brandon was going over to his girlfriend’s house, to meet her guardians.“What’s with the smirk?” Nik asked curiously as she folded up my hospital clothes. It’s not like she actually wanted to do this stuff, but she was just being nervous that I was getting discharged today.According to her, I should’ve stayed here longer, at least until my ribs were completely healed.“You think we should crash Faith and Brandon’s little part?” I grinned, already liking the sound of it. “I want to see the look on Brandon’s face when George asks him all kinds of awkward questions.”“You know babe…for someone who claims to hate her cousin’s guts, you sure are good at looking out for Brandon.” Nik shook her

What was my aunt even talking about? The real reason for my parent’s death? They died in a car accident…didn’t they? I saw their bodies…I saw their broken, tattered remains…I saw the blood… But the last few moments had tilted my whole world on its axis, and my aunt wants to tells me this isn’t over? That…whatever just happened now…wasn’t over yet? Brandon’s sudden departure was still stuck in my head, like a broken tape recorder on repeat. We were supposed to have a good time today. He had finally gotten his cast off and he was supposed to meet my aunt and we were supposed to enjoy dinner together…but everything had changed in a blink of an eye, and I was left with nothing but fear and confusion as my mind tried to make sense of it all. I hugged my arms around myself, as if

    Chapter 71: Revelations Part 1Brandon’s P.O.VMy knuckles turned white as my fists tightened on the steering wheel, my eyes narrow with the intensity of my thoughts. I found myself grappling with a whirlwind of emotions, struggling to make sense of the chaos that just descended upon my life.“How the hell could this have happened?” I muttered to myself, my words heavy with confusion and frustration.I drove aimlessly, one seemingly unfamiliar street after another, as I navigated through my mind, consumed by thoughts of the past I so desperately wanted nothing to do with. I felt anger course through me, something that burned away at any reason and logic. A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I remembered the woman who had become both the source of my affection and the catalyst for this catastrophe.Her family had shattered my own, and they left behind scars that continued to haunt me to this day.“What kind of sick fucking karma is this?”A bitter kind of anger consumed me, its intensity

And somehow, I understood her intentions even better now. She had always pushed me in the direction where there was a possibility of my father and I reconciling.Her approach had been one of understanding and empathy. She never judged me about anything I told her. She never, not once, questioned any of the decisions I

The cool metal fell around my neck easily, and a sense of nostalgia overwhelmed me as I remembered my mother wearing it all the time.But I wasn’t allowed to dwell on the nostalgia for long since I felt his warm breath fanning my skin before I felt him lean down and place a tender kiss on my shoulder.“I didn’t want to give back the pendant…because when you weren’t with me, when we weren’t together, this was the only thing that connected me to you.” He whispered against my ear, his arms coming around me to wrap around my middle. “I threw it away once…when I thought you were too good to be with me, that I didn’t want to taint you with my darkness…and it was right here, at this very beach. But the waves gave it back to me; almost like it was fate…they didn’t want me to lose the only good thing in

Exams are over!” Nik threw her hands up in the air as she did a little ‘happy dance’ before turning to Debby and me. “Let’s go out this evening!”“Go out? Where?” I asked, raising my eyebrows skeptically.Usually, Nik’s idea of going out wasn’t the best of plans. The last time we went out together, not only did she get the wrong address, but we were thrown out of the club since none of us had fake IDs and we weren’t allowed in unless we were twenty one.Now, I watched as Debby nodded enthusiastically to Nik’s proposal, ever the supportive girlfriend…even though I was starting to worry about what trouble they were going to get into this time.“Leave me out.” I sighed, walking down the stairs to join them at the courtyard. “I’ll be heading home first.”“Why? Do you have plans already?” Debby smirked with a knowing look in her eyes.“I do.” I nodded, laughing at her expression. “Brandon asked me out on a date.”“Oh! Really!” Nik looked a

I’m getting discharged today.”“Yup. Just heard the reception discussing that.” He came forwards to stand beside the bed, where I sat already dressed in casual clothing, ready for the nurses to take me out as soon as Brandon was done with the paperwork. “How are you? Bran told me everything…about what happened yesterday.”I nodded, sad that everything had to come to this. “I’m glad everything is over now.” I told him. “And I can start over from scratch. It’s all a new beginning for all of us.”Ethan gave me a look that said that even though it was a new beginning for some of us…there were still lingering feelings left.“At least I still get to be friends with you.” He finally said with a sigh. “But if Brandon treats you bad again…I will

Neither did I tell him. Instead, I watched him take a seat on one of the couches on the opposite side of the room, far from me and Julia.I knew he was giving us space, letting me and her settle our differences. It was what was most important. But at the same time, I couldn’t help but miss his presence, his support.No matter how brave of a front I put up…I was still worried about what had transpired between him and Julia at her house.“Thank you…” Julia told me now, her eyes appearing haunted as she looked up at me tiredly. “For not complaining against me…even after everything I did…”I saw tears well up in her eyes as she swallowed hard, her emotions clearly all over the place. “Why? Why did you help me? I’ve been the shittiest person to you…I’ve bullied you, spoke badly about you…tried to steal Brandon aw

And I wasn’t even worried about myself at the moment.The cops stayed in the room, keeping their watchful eyes on me as if I was going to get up and jump out the window to escape them. Well…unfortunately, this wasn’t some kind of survival episode and I was definitely not into Fast and Furious. Besides, I just had a surgery!How did they expect me to escape when I was barely able to move without support?I kept looking at the clock on the wall, waiting desperately for someone, anyone, to arrive! Debby waited patiently by my side, her hand in mine a kind of reassurance that everything was going to be alright and that help was on its way.However, even though the clock seemed to tick at a snail’s pace and a minute felt like an eternity, I didn’t actually have to wait long before people started pouring into my room.First came my aunt and George, their worried faces instantly l

Memories from the past came rushing back in waves, making me recall all the times I had stood in front of this very door, sometimes with an expensive bouquet of roses in my hand and sometimes with takeout from a fine dining restaurant. How many times had we slammed these very doors? Sometimes in passion, sometimes in anger and sometimes in dejection? Time was indeed a funny thing, wasn’t it? Because once, when these same emotions had threatened to engulf me in agony…now they were like fleeting images at the back of my mind, hardly evoking even a quarter of the same emotions that I had once felt for the woman who lived behind the
