Chapter 28
Brian's View
I woke up to the phone ringing. I lifted my arm with much difficulty and answered, "Hello?"
"Get up! We need to leave its already 6:15 and we need to leave in 12 minutes!" Donna said on the other end.
"Yeah, I'll be down soon," I said quietly. I hung up the phone and got out of bed. I passed the trashcan on my way to the bathroom and saw the basset hound. I stopped and looked at it. Tears were filling my eyes and then they started to fall. I whipped my cheek and took it out of the trash. Maybe she'll came back to me and then I can give it to her or I can just keep it for myself. I put it in my bag and went to go take a shower. I came back out 5 minutes later in only my towel. I put on some jeans and a Nike T-shirt. I put on my shoes and then my Kentucky Wild Cats hat. I got up and grabbed my bags and headed downstairs slowly. I got outside and gave my bags to Dave the bus driver. He put the bags underneath the bus. I got on and all the guys looked up at me. I lowered my hat and headed to the back.
"How are you?" Howie said after me.
I didn't say anything. I just sat down and picked up my bag that I leave on the bus. The bus then started to move. We were headed to New York City I think. I'm getting further away from her. I shook my head and tried to forget about her. I looked at my bag again and rummaged through it. In it I have my CD player and CD's, some video games, a camera, a couple books and pictures. The pictures are of my family and the guys but most of them are of Tiffany. I didn't bother looking at them. I just took out my CD player and put the headphones on my head. I pressed forward a couple of times and then I pressed play and The Offsprings 'Pretty Fly for a White Guy' came on. I turned my body so I could see out the window and just sat. I tried to keep my mind off of Tiffany but she was like implanted in my brain. I just want to know why she left. I love her so much and I don't understand what happened. Why can't she tell me? I wouldn't get mad. I love her too much. Even if she said she was cheating I wouldn't get that mad. OK maybe I would blow up at her since I've been cheated on before but I would at least try to stay calm. I hope she's OK.
"Hey Frick," Nick said to me coming in from the front.
I ignored him and just looked at the passing trees.
"Please talk to me Bri. Maybe I can help. I can always call her and find out what's going on," Nick said sitting next to me.
I took my headphones off and my hat and looked at him.
"You look bad man! Did you sleep at all?"
"No I couldn't stop thinking about her. All I did was cry."
"I can tell by your eyes. So do you want to talk about it?"
"I don't know! It's not going to do anything."
"How do you know?"
"I don't! There's really nothing to talk about anyway. The woman I love left me and I don't know why. That's about it."
"Well did you do anything?"
"No all I've been to her was a good boyfriend. I never lied to her and I always comforted her when she needed it. I gave her all my love. Of course I didn't do anything wrong."
"Has she been acting strange."
"Yeah, she's been spacing out and she kept lying to me. She said she missed her family but I didn't buy that. I could tell it was something else. She just wouldn't tell me. I kept telling her that we shouldn't lie to each other in a relationship that we wanted to work but she kept lying. I don't think she loved me Nick."
"How can you say that? All she talks about is you and what you do and how cute and sensitive you are. She talked to me about you so much I could get sick. She does love you or else she would not have told you that she loves you. She doesn't kid around with love."
"Then what happened!?"
"I don't know but I'll try to find out for you," he said patting my shoulder and getting up from the couch and walking to the front.
I sat there thinking about if he really is going to find out. I just hope he does but if he doesn't then I'll just have to try to move on. All I know is that moving on is going to be hard. Real hard!
