Degrassi: Forever Confused
Chapter 1: Together Again?
Beep. Beep. Beep. Bianca DeSousa picked up her phone and unlocked it. She had a text message from the one person she didn't expect to hear from for a while. Drew Torres.
Drew: Hey can you meet me?
Bianca stared at the text message, awe, terror, and pain in her eyes. Bianca slid open the keyboard of her phone, unsure of whether or not she should meet up with Drew. Then she started to type.
Bianca: Sure. When & where?
Drew typed back in seconds.
Drew: Cool. The Dot in 10?
Bianca hesitated.
Bianca: Cool.
She slid on her shoes and her matching red leather jacket and quietly slipped out of her auntie's house.
As she walked to The Dot, she started to regret meeting up with Drew. What am I doing? She thought to herself. I can't be with Drew anymore, especially because of what I got Katie into. Rehab? Really? Had I really dragged her into the club where I knew my former drug dealer did most of his "business"? She already knew the answer to all of these questions: Yes.
When Bianca arrived at the dot, she opened the door and went inside, her heart beating out of her chest. She looked around until she spotted him at a table toward the back of the café. As she walked to his table, she tried to reassure herself. You can do it, Bianca. She thought. He's just a guy.
"Hey," Drew said, interrupting Bianca's thoughts. "Hey," Bianca said back, her palms sweating. She had never felt so insecure and nervous in her life. What's happening to me? Drew quickly stood up and pulled Bianca's chair back so she could sit down. He went back to his seat opposite her. Their table fell silent. Drew finally spoke. "So how are you?" He started, unsure of what to say next. "Is this why you called me here? To make small talk?" Bianca snapped, suddenly irritated. She covered her mouth, regretting her words and wishing she hadn't said them. She wanted to apologize but decided against it. He broke her heart. She deserves the apology, not him. When Drew didn't speak again, Bianca stood up to leave. "This was a mistake. I shouldn't have come here." The bell dinged as she walked out of the café. She heard it ding a second time and knew Drew had followed her, so she started to walk faster. "Bianca, wait!" Drew exclaimed. He grabbed her arm and spun her around. She looked like she was on the verge of tears. And she was.
"I can't do this anymore, Drew," Bianca choked out. "Do what?" Drew said in confusion. "Pretend like everything is okay when it's not!" She tried to stop the tears that were forming but they were coming too fast. She hated Drew seeing her like this so she tried to leave again. Drew grasped her arm even tighter, careful not to hurt her. She turned back around to face Drew. "Bianca. You know you don't have to pretend with me," Drew said, caressing her tear stained cheek. Bianca tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and cleared her throat even though there was nothing there.
She stared at Drew and took in his beautiful, flawless face. It was the face she knew and will always love. The one that looked back at her right now. The one that held that gorgeous smile. The one that said "I love you" to another girl that's not her. A girl that almost died because of her. A girl that supposedly wanted to be friends with her. A girl that used her to get drugs.
"Why did you want to meet me, Drew? So you can kiss me and then run back to Katie, again?" Drew stared at his ex in disbelief. He couldn't believe the woman he loved was uttering these sad but true words to him. It actually made him want to cry.
"Bianca. I want to be with you, not Katie," he said. "I don't know why you didn't just let me end it with her last week before she started rehab." "Because it wouldn't be right, Drew! I got that girl put into rehab! All because I tried to be friends with her. For you! I could've gotten her killed! To do all that and take her boyfriend from her? "I'm not that girl anymore, Drew!" Bianca yelled, a single tear slipping down her cheek. More and more tears came after the first, staining her face quickly. Drew wiped Bianca's tear stained face and whispered comfortingly in her ear. "I'm not asking you to be that girl. I'm asking you to follow your heart." His face was just inches from hers now. Bianca did the honor of closing the gap between them, wrapping her arms around his neck. His hands slid around her waist as his tongue slipped into her mouth.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Drew unwillingly broke away from the kiss, reaching for his phone. It was a text from his brother, Adam.
Adam: Mom's looking for you. I told her you were in the shower. Don't know how much longer I can cover for you.
Drew rolled his eyes and replied to his brother's text.
Drew: Be there in 5. Thanks bro.
Drew looked at Bianca. "I gotta go. My mom's looking for me and Adam's a terrible liar." He smirked. Bianca smiled for the first time all night. Drew pecked Bianca on her lips and ran in the direction of his house. Bianca stood in the darkness watching as Drew disappeared. When he did, she started to walk back to her own house. When she arrived, she pulled off her clothes, slid on a tank top and some shorts, and climbed into her bed. She went to sleep with a smile on her face, wondering what tomorrow would bring for her and Drew. All she knew was that she couldn't wait to find out.
Drew arrived at his house in less than five minutes, just as he had told Adam. He looked up to the top of the house and saw that his bedroom window was open. Thank you, Adam! He thought to himself. Drew picked up his usual "sneak in/out ladder" out of the bushes and put it up to his window. He started to climb up. He was all the way at the top when he heard his window close. "Adam? What are you doing in Drew's room?" Mrs. Torres asked. Drew quickly ducked his head down so his mother wouldn't see him. Think Adam think. "Uh, I had to um come in here and uh get my math book. I let Drew borrow it and now I need it back so can finish doing my own homework." I don't do homework. "Okay then," Mrs. Torres said, sounding unconvinced. She looked around the room for nothing in particular and left, shutting the door behind her.
Adam wiped a bead of sweat off his forehead and opened the window. He pulled Drew in and ran over to Drew's dresser. He opened the drawer and pulled out a pair of Drew's shorts and a t-shirt. He threw them at Drew. As Drew put on the clothes, Adam went to the window and pushed the ladder down and closed the window. Drew ran in the bathroom, stuck his head under the already running showerhead, and turned it off. He grabbed a towel and ran back in his room. He shut the door and sat down on his bed, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Thanks, Adam. I owe you big time," Drew said to his brother. "Yeah, no kidding! You know I'm a terrible liar!" Adam exclaimed. "Yeah, no kidding!" Drew said playfully shoving his younger brother. "Alright well I better go to bed before mom comes back in here. Night, Drew." "Night Adam," Drew said back to his brother.
As the door to Drew's room closed, it reopened. It was their mother. Uh-oh. "Well look who's finally out of the shower," His mother said playfully. "Uh, yeah," Drew said nervously. His mother started to pace around the room. Neither of them spoke for a while, until his mother finally said something, speaking in a tone that Drew could barely hear.
"So I went outside one last time to make sure the water hose wasn't dripping any water," she started, her voice getting louder with every word she said, her statement ending in a normal tone of voice. Drew just shrugged it off as if it was nothing, hoping that this conversation wasn't going to end in "You're grounded for life for sneaking out after curfew." Maybe she doesn't know. "The water was indeed dripping, so I turned it off. As I bent down to turn it off, you will never guess what I found." Wrong. "What?" Drew said trying to sound as dumb as he possibly could so he wouldn't give himself away. Then his mother gave him a look that said "I think you know what I found." "Do I even want to know?" She was practically shouting now. "Probably not," he said nonchalantly. "We will talk about this tomorrow. Now go to sleep. Now." She stormed out of the room, almost slamming the door behind her.
Drew turned off his light and got into his bed. Oh well, he thought. Nothing is gonna ruin this night for me. Absolutely nothing. He smiled to himself closing his eyes slowly. And with that, he drifted off to sleep.
