Brandon: „Uhh.. s-sorry!.. it's someone of my school.. wait a second..... yes?"

Caroline: „Hey Brandon uhm... where are you and tell me the truth. I know you're hiding something from us"

Brandon: „Wh-What? What do you mean-"

Caroline: „Remember when you almost got into a car crash?"

Brandon: „How did you kno-"

Caroline: „It was me in the car with Johnny. And I saw you with the other guy in the car... are you with him now?"

Brandon: „Uhh.."

Brandon: „Call the others and tell them we will meet today on 9 PM on the park!"

Caroline: „Wait Brandon, there's one thin-"

Manu: „Brandon is everything okay?"

Brandon: „Huh.. Uh.. yes yes, everything fine, go back to bed.."

Brandon: „Uhm.."

I just hang up... god... how should I tell them? I- I can't breathe normal, fuck.. how should I do this? What if they hate me for not saying anything? What will they think of me? Will Alex be mad at me?
