CHAPTER ONE
"Kelly, I will tell Brenda about us when she gets home from Paris." Dylan said.
"What are you going to tell her though? Are you going to tell her that you want to be with me or with her?" Kelly presses wanting to know if she went behind her best friends' back and went after her boyfriend and got him or so it seemed for nothing. Would she only have the memory of the summer or would it be more?
"I don't know, Kel. I haven't figured out what I want and I have told you this. I have to see Brenda to decide who I want. I need to talk to her and then I will know what I want. Give me a little time Kel."
"Dylan I'm sorry but I love you and I want you and you care about me too, I know you do and I just want to know if I just lost my best friend for nothing." Kelly lets a tear slide down her face.
Dylan falls for it and hugs Kelly and holds her careful that no one saw them together like this. "I'm sure my feelings for you won't change I just have to see Brenda and talk to her and make her understand if I decide to break up with her why and I don't want to hurt Brenda she's been there for me more times than I can count. I also don't want to alienate Brandon and Brenda is his sister and he's my best friend, you have to understand Kel, I have to tread carefully when it comes to Brenda and Brandon."
"Okay, I'll wait and I will be waiting for you. The Walsh's are having that welcome home party next week for Brenda and Donna."
"Yes, they are."
"I wish the summer wasn't about over, I wish we could be like this always. Just us together. I'm really scared that you will choose Brenda."
"Kel, like I have told you I don't know how I feel about Brenda right now. We have to wait till she gets home I won't make a decision without seeing her first and if I choose you explaining to her what happened and how."
"I know. Let's go catch some waves." Kelly said knowing he was tired of talking about this. She just wanted Dylan.
Meanwhile in France Donna is waiting to hear the news about Brenda, she had passed out at the luncheon that they were having for the sendoff that was happening in a few days. Brenda had been eating and talking, laughing and suddenly she just passed out.
Brenda finally comes out and Donna overhears the doctor saying to Brenda, "you don't have much time to make a decision about treatment Ms. Walsh or you may not be around. You are in a serious condition if you do not get treatment now than you are risking dying please Ms. Walsh, I would hate to see a young woman like you die because of not getting treatment."
"What's wrong, Brenda? Doctor what's wrong with Brenda?"
"You are a friend of hers?"
"Yes, we came to Paris together on vacation. We live in California."
"Good. Ms. Walsh has a brain tumor and it needs to be removed fast or it will grow and it is growing and that is why she has been having headaches. She needs to see a specialist and needs to have it removed."
"Oh my god." Donna said now not knowing what to do.
"Donna, let's go. Thank you doctor Lanquet."
"Brenda remember to take the medicine or you may have more of those spells and they will get worse. Keep them with you at all times. Do not get overly upset because you could pass out if you do keep yourself calm at all times."
"Thank you." Brenda drags Donna out of there. "Do not tell my family. Did you call them?"
"No I wanted to wait till I knew something and could tell them what was wrong."
"Good do not tell my parents or Brandon not right now. I just want to have some time to adjust to this before I tell them about the tumor."
"Bren, according to that doctor if you don't see a doctor, a specialist you may not be around to see anything ever again."
"I know what he said and I will tell them just not right away. I want a few days of being with my family and with Dylan before I tell them and worry them. Promise me Donna that you won't tell anyone."
"I won't tell anyone but I think you need to tell them as soon as you possibly can after all your life is on the line according to that doctor."
"I know I just want some time to accept it and think about what I want to do. I need time to think about this without everyone telling me what I need to do and arguing about what to do. Can you understand that?"
"Yes, I can. But I won't keep the secret for long because I love you and want you to live."
"Thanks Donna, don't tell Kelly but you are my new best friend. Really thanks Donna."
"You are welcome, come on let's get out of here."
"What a good idea." Especially since Brenda had this feeling that something wasn't quite right and she didn't know what made her think something was very wrong. She would call her parents later and maybe something happened that she didn't know about and they hadn't called and told her. She just had this feeling beside the brain tumor that something was really wrong and she didn't know what. She hoped it was nothing serious though.
Little did Brenda know that what she was feeling was about Dylan and Kelly but she would find out and sooner than anyone thought because later that night Donna was having second thoughts and called the airport and got there flight moved up to tomorrow night and then she called her mom and dad and the Walsh's and told them that the flight had been moved up and that she and Brenda wanted to surprise everyone else. So the parents would keep their coming home early quiet.
Brenda the next day when she woke up and found out what Donna had done was mad at first and then she packed and got on the plane with Donna still not happy but she understood that Donna was afraid something was going to happen while they were in France and so she knew Donna had done it out of love and fear for Brenda's safety.
No one least of all Dylan and Kelly knew that Brenda was coming in early and she sure would surprise everyone.
