Chapter 13: Bad Memory


Brianna POV

Oh no, not the clubs...

"You there? Brianna? Did she just hang up on me?" I heard Jenessa say on the other line. "That little B- "

"I'm here." I said interrupting her.

"Thank god." She sighed in relief. "So did you hear what I said?"

"Yeah and my answer to that is no." I said seriously. There was no way I was going out to a club.

"Come one BrieBrie." I shook my head even though she couldn't see me.

"Besides I have nothing to wear."

"Nothing to wear? Brie we aren't going to some fancy restaurant we are just going to a club." She scoffed.

"But- " I was about to say till she rudely interrupted me.

"Seriously Brie you need to let loose. Have some fun, have a couple shots, it will defiantly take you mind off things."

She did have a point, I do need to let loose and have a couple of drinks to take my mind off all this pointless drama happening in my life.

"I guess." I murmured.

"Wait what was that? I couldn't hear you." She said sarcastically.

"I said I guess."

"No it's a yes or no question, not a I guess or maybe."

"Yes." I said getting annoyed.

"Yes what?" I could tell by her tone that she was smirking.

"Yes I'll go to the club with you."

"YES!" She squealed.

"But." She groaned.

"Oh no, not the buts'."

"What about Caleb."

"Who cares about Caleb!" She said brusquely. "It's seriously not fair that he gets to go out with his friends, while you're at home alone."

"Yeah I know your right."

"Listen, I'll be there in 20 minutes so we will talk more while we get ready okay?"

"Okay see you then."

"And Brianna?" She asked.

"Yeah?"

"How many times do you need to get hurt for you to know when it's time to let go?" I parted my lips to say something, but my phone beeped indicating that she hung up.

~~~~~

"Open you god damn door!" I heard my cousin shout on the other side of my condo door.

"I'm coming!" I shout back unlocking the door and opening it.

"Finally it took you like an hour." I couldn't help my laugh.

"You're such an over exaggerator." I laughed.

"What do you expect us Puerto Rican's exaggerate." She said high fiving me.

We made our way into my room and both started on our makeup, she took the long mirror behind my door and I took the mirror in my bathroom.

"So Jenessa?" I said whilst putting on eye shadow.

"Yeah?" I heard her say.

"Before you hung up you said something, something that seemed to stick with me." I heard her huff, like she knew where this conversation was heading.

"Just forget what I said okay?" I put down my cosmetic and poked my head out of the bathroom.

"No. I want to know what you meant by that." She rotated her whole body so she was facing me.

"I think you know what I meant Brie." I leaned against the bathroom door.

"Yeah I do, but why, why did you tell me that?"

"Because Brianna he keeps hurting you!" I stimulated my eyes to my feet. "He physically harmed you Brie, yet you took him back like an idiot."

"He was drunk." She scoffed and waved me off.

"That doesn't mean anything Brianna, he still harmed you." I swallowed hard, trying to keep the tears that threatened to spill out of my eyes, as I replayed that night in my head.

***Flashback***

"Where have you been?" I asked, walking up to an unsteady Caleb.

"Wai-wait what?" he said slurring on his words. I face palmed myself shaking my head, he was drunk once again.

"You're drunk." I said sternly removing my hands from my face.

"No I'm not." He said trying to act sober but failed miserably.

"Don't act stupid with me Caleb!" I snapped folding my hands over my chest.

"Fi-fine I went to th-the bar with John." He said stuttering.

"Without telling me? Caleb I have been worried sick about you for 6 hours!" he grabbed the cabinet to steady himself.

"I don't care now move aside." He said walking slowly towards the couch.

"God Caleb this needs to stop." He turned around.

"What needs to stop?" He said glaring at me.

"You're drinking problem!" I said throwing my hands in the air.

"Drinking problem?" He laughed. "I do not have drinking problem."

"Yes you do! Caleb this is the 3rd time this week that you have been coming home drunk!" He huffed, waving me off.

"Just leave your annoying me." I could feel my blood boiling at his words.

"Annoying you?" I said raising my voice. "Annoying you?" I repeated. He nodded rubbing his temples.

"Yes annoying me!" He said again.

"You know what? To be honest with you I don't want you as my boyfriend if all you do is come home drunk." I said a unyielding tone. He glared at me, his nostrils flaring; I knew my words have pissed him off.

"So what you want to breakup?"

"If that what it has to come to, then yes." I turned around to walk back into my room. I was done arguing with him, I didn't want to fight anymore.

"Where do you think you're going? He asked in a bitter tone, obtaining my wrist, and yanking me around to face him.

"Let me go!" I hissed through gritted teeth. His gripped tightened causing me to wince in pain. "Let go your hurting me!"

"You want to leave me huh?" He said forcing me to his chest.

I tried to indorse my wrist out of his potent grip, but it was useless.

"If you don't fix your drinking problem then yes, yes I will leave you Caleb." I said shoving him causing him to let go of my wrist and stumble backwards. He went to grab my wrist again but I smacked him across the face, the impact echoing off the walls.

He cupped his cheek that I smacked, and gave me a threateningly look that brought chills to run up and down my spine. His nostrils flared, his chest arose up and down, and he had his hand curled up in a fist. It was then did he do something that I never imagined he would do. Caleb Villegas, my own boyfriend punched me across the face. My body tumbled to the ground forcefully, my head making impact with the tiled floor. All I could hear was the beating of my own heart, and my heavy breathing, everything else such as Caleb's yells were muffled. I cried cupping my throbbing cheek that Caleb just punched. How could he do this to me? Was all I thought. He was the last person I imagined inflicting harm on me. That day I packed up my stuff and left, only to return a month later after he apologized to me multiple times, and promised me to get help with his drinking dilemma. I knew that it wasn't right to go back but I was afraid of being alone again.

***End of Flashback***

He never really did quit drinking, but he did drink in moderation which I was okay with because I knew he was trying.

"Brianna you ok?" She said pushing herself off from the floor, and walking to me.

"Yeah." I said choking on my own words.

"Come here." She said hugging me. "I just don't like to see you with him, he isn't right for you Brie."

"How do you know?" I said unlocking the hug.

"Because you don't have the same glint in your eyes as when you were with Harry." She whispered. My heart shattered at his name. "I'm sorry I'm bringing him up, but it's true. When you were with Harry you were so happy, and every time you looked at him your eye's showed love and lust, but when you look at Caleb I don't see that in your eyes." I sighed. "I know your mad at him for what he did to you, and trust me I am too but you have to admit that you don't love Caleb as much as you loved Harry."

"Yeah I guess you right. But I'm not just mad at him Jenessa I'm furious at him. I hate him!" I snapped.

"Hate's a strong word." She said crossing her arms over her chest. "And why do you hate him that much? I though you forgave him?" She said raising an eyebrow.

"I lied ok!" I could feel tears brim my eyes.

"And why did you lie I thought we always tell the truth?" She said sounding offended.

"Because I didn't want you to know-" I stopped before I could say any more.

"Know what?" She asked, letting her arms fall to her side.

"Nothing." I couldn't tell her, I just couldn't, this was something I never told anyone I repeat ANYONE!

"Brianna Aguilera." She said grabbing both my shoulders. "Tell me right now."I shook my head, letting a tear fall.

"Nothing."

"Brie you could tell me."

Should I tell her? If I told her this would change everything, it was a pretty big thing I have been keeping.

"Please, promise me you won't be mad that I didn't tell you." I said sobbing lightly.

"I promise now what is it love?" she said wiping a tear from my face.

I couldn't believe I was going to tell her. What was she going to say? How was she going to react?
