Chapter 47 "Dont be surprised if I'm gone one day"

Everything was cool and fine until Brennen and I began arguing. The car journey in the beginning was quiet, only the radio to be heard. It happened for no reason too.

"Why were you on my Mac?" Brennen asked out if interest, twisting his head to look at me, then back to the road in front of us. My tongue glided along my lips, my mind debating whether to tell the truth or lie to him. We all knew I couldn't lie, especially when Brennen knows when I'm lying. I don't want to be another person on his list of people who've done him dirty in the last few weeks. Kylie being number one.

"I went to your room to look for you because I couldn't find you. I saw it open and notes and I read what you wrote. I'm sorry Brennen, it wasn't my place to read that" the guilt ate me up, making my palms clammy and my face glow red with embarrassment.

"I know that you think it's wrong for me to go to Australia but, I need my answers from her in person" Brennen's face seemed slightly pissed off.

"You don't want answers, you want her back. I did read your notes" My confidence rose, making me feel like I could say anything to him and it would be powerful enough to change his mind. Only he's too stubborn.

"So? What does it matter to you?" He spat, my anger rising with him. I was the one there for him this whole time and he decides to be so rude to me.

"It matters to me because I'm the one that has to be your fucking shoulder to cry on afterwards. You'll get yourself hurt and I'm trying my best to prevent that" my hands tugged on the seatbelt that wrapped around me.

"Then don't be there for me. Let me make my own mistakes and stay out of it" I was getting a little tired of him saying this 'stay out' shit. I was so over it. It was unfair.

"You know what Brennen? Fuck you. I have tried my best to pick you up and all you've done is say 'stay out of it'. When are you gonna realise she has moved on? It's pretty obvious when she's already living in Australia, has a new boyfriend and cheated on you. She doesn't give a shit about you" Brennen tugged a hand stressfully through his hair, the veins in his neck becoming more prominent. I have to admit, maybe I was a little bit harsh on that note. He needed to see the truth though. Because without the truth, he's blind to the love that he's feeling. She doesn't love him. She was only there to fuck and chuck him. It's the truth. I wasn't going to say that obviously.

"Don't say that. She does care" Brennen spoke through clenched teeth, his hands gripping the steering wheel.

"Why is she all over Jacob then? From what I've learned about you and Kylie is that you'll forgive her for anything. Because love is blind and you refuse to admit she's the reason you're so sad and hurt. So go ahead, hit her with your best shot and see how far it gets you" I was getting way too angry with Brennen. What I was saying was right but a little out of order. Tough love is what I'll call it.

"Briana I don't want you to be this angry with me" He was beginning to lose his fight, sighing heavily. I knew he would crack eventually. I just want to talk sense into him, at least so he would listen.

"What do you expect me to do? You want to make your own mistakes then go" I crossed my arms and sat back, watching the cars zoom past us.

"Just please can we stop fighting?"

"You only want someone to be there for you when you fall" Okay Briana, that's enough.

"Enough Briana" Brennen spoke my mind, my eyes widening slightly.

"Then let's stop fighting then. Just please take my advice" I held out my hand for him to take. He placed his hand in mine, the warmth from his hand passing through mine. I gave it a squeeze then let go, smiling a little.

"I'll try. Don't be surprised if I'm gone one day" he smirked. From what he said, it sounded like he was still considering leaving which hurt like hell. He knew in himself he would get hurt. I just hope he's making the right decision and takes something out of what I said. We arrived at Santa Monica Pier, watching the others vlog and chat while waiting for us. I gave Colby a tight hug, feeling comfort in his arms. I remembered that him and Brennen weren't on the best of terms, so I made sure that nothing would break out between the two boys. While everyone was vlogging, I looked around at the various rides that occupied the pier. We headed over, a few of the others going on one ride, while the rest of us went on another ride. I can't say I felt very comfortable sitting inbetween Brennen and Colby on a ride. It was very awkward. Very, very awkward.

"Briana!" Colby yelled from a few feet away. I was standing next to Brennen, Sam and Katrina.

"Oh, yeah?" I jogged over to him, slightly out of breath. You are so fit Briana. Not really.

"I wanna be one of those boyfriends that win you some epic prize" he took my hand and walked with me over to one of those games that you're destined to lose. Isn't that a line in a One Direction song? It feels like I'm constantly playing, a game that I'm destined to loooose. Sorry, my inner Directioner came out.

"You wanna play?" The guy running the stand asked Colby. Colby nodded and took some change out of his pocket, handing it to the guy. He explained that you have to knock down the milk cans to win a prize. Long story short, Colby lost but, technically not because he won me a really small teddy bear. It was cute though.

"Hey Colby!" A girl I didn't recognised ran up to Colby and hugged him. I thought I didn't know her until she turned around. And was I surprised. Very surprised.

Hehe, I'm sorry I had to make that 1D reference after writing that line. If you know, you know ;). Holy frick I used to be in love with 1D when I was younger. They were the shit and a huge part of my childhood. How do you feel about another cliff hanger? I feel as though I'm torturing you lot 😂😩
