I'M TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOU
A SUMMERLAND STORY
Bradin found himself standing at the Bale's house getting ready to knock on the front door when he heard a voice behind him. "She's not home Bradin. She's out with Tanner." said Cameron. "Out with Tanner?!" "Yeah. He asked her out last night at the beach party." said Cameron. "Wow, I can't believe that she didn't tell me. She usually tells me everything." said Bradin. "True, and with his track record I can't believe that she went out with him too." said Cameron. "I guess I will call her later than." said Bradin. He said his goodbyes to Cameron, and turned and headed back to his house. He thought it was strange, usually Tanner and Hannah didn't get along. As he entered the house, he went straight to his room, and closed the door. He and Erika have been having some trouble in their relationship lately, and wanted to talk to Hannah about it, but she was out with his worst enemy.
Bradin eventually drifted off to sleep. When he finally did wake up it was nearly midnight, and decided to try and call Hannah's cell phone. To his surprise, she didn't answer, so he decided to leave her a message. "Hey this is Hannah's cell, at the beep you know what to do." (cell phone beeps) "Hey Han. It's me. I was looking for you, but your brother said that you had a date with Tanner. Just wondering what that's all about, and also I need some help. Erika and I are having some trouble, she says I'm not romantic with her anymore..." (cell phone cuts Bradin off) He put his cell phone back on the charger as he realized that his battery was low, and went back to sleep. It felt like he had just shut his eyes as morning came, and was too tired, but he got up anyway. The night went by so quickly. He jumped in the shower, got dressed, and headed to the kitchen where the family was eating breakfast. "There you are. We thought that you would never get up." said Aunt Ava, and she smiled getting up to make Bradin a plate. He sat next to Nikki, and gobbled his eggs, and bacon down. He then got up and started heading towards the back door. "Where are you going? You just got up." asked Johnny. "Going to see Hannah." said Bradin.
Bradin headed out the door, and towards the Bale's house, and knocked on the front door. Cameron answered the door. "Hey Cam. Is Hannah home?" "Yeah, give me a sec. I'll go get her." said Cameron. He lead Bradin inside, and made him wait by the bottom step. "Hannah. Are you decent? Bradin's here." asked Cameron. "Yeah, send him up." said Hannah. When Bradin entered Hannah's bedroom she was sitting at her desk on her computer. "What are you doing?" asked Bradin. "I'm writing an e-mail." laughed Hannah. "No, I mean what are you doing going out with Tanner?" asked a serious Bradin. "What's wrong?" "You know that we hate each other Hannah. Why did you go out with him?" asked Bradin. Well, at the beach party the other night, you were off with Erika doing whatever, and I was lonely. He came over and started talking to me, and we actually had a decent conversation. He's not as bad as you think. He's a decent guy." said Hannah. "And you know that from one conversation, and a date you had with him last night? Well, it was only one date┘..right?" asked Bradin looking dead on at Hannah. "Well, he asked me out again for tonight, and I said yes." said Hannah. "But look at his dating track record Han. He's dated a lot of girls." said Bradin. "And your track record is clean. Let's see there was Sarah, Callie, some girl at a party, oh, last but not least your new girlfriend Erika!" said Hannah.
Bradin didn't know what to do after that so he just stood there. "Look, I'm sorry Bradin, but I am allowed to date whoever I want." said Hannah. "I'm going to go. We'll talk later when we both have calmed down." said Bradin as he walked out of the bedroom, and slammed the door behind him. They hardly ever argued, and Hannah was upset. Not just at Bradin for acting like a jerk, but because she had loved him since he came to Playa Lynda, and he couldn't even see it. She liked Tanner, but was mainly using him to make Bradin jealous, and she hoped it worked. Bradin sat at his favorite spot at the beach near the ocean. He'd found a rock not too far out and sat down, just starring out at the ocean. He couldn't understand why he was making a big deal out of it. Hannah was his best friend. He knew she always made good choices, but what if this was her first mistake? There was something else. That he just couldn't pinpoint, but he couldn't shake the feeling.
Bradin looked at his watch and realized hours had past. It was now going on 5:30 p.m. He had to go home, Aunt Ava was cooking a big family dinner. As soon as he entered the house Derrick came up to him. "You know Erika stopped by looking for you." "Oh shit! I can't believe I forgot. We were supposed to go surfing at Two Brothers." said Bradin, and he placed one hand over his forehead. "She's not mad. She said to call her later." said Derrick. Ava called the troops to dinner, and everything was so beautiful. They had mashed potatoes, corn, chicken, and biscuits. It was strange Ava never really cooked like that unless she had some bad news, or something really important she wanted to get across. All of a sudden Ava and Johnny stood up and banged on the water glasses they had in front of them.
