(101. "BRUISES LEFT BEHIND, PART ONE")

Travis looked around the apartment building, just then he heard a knock at the door, "Coming!" Travis let out. "Jane...Brianna!" Travis shouted, as he pulled the girls into a hug. "I told you we would be here!" Jane called. Brianna walked around the room, "This is...awesome" Brianna let out. "I know!" Travis said as he ran upstairs. Just then there was another knock at the door, "I got it!" Brianna shouted as she made her way to the door.

Brianna opened the door, to a woman, who was crying, "Can I help you?" Brianna asked, sincerely. "Um...I'm looking for Brianna Barnes" the woman stated, sniffling. "This is she, what's wrong?" Brianna asked. "A few days ago, my son, Mike died after going into cardiac arrest...and you were the last girlfriend he had...I would like you to come to the funeral!" the woman stated. "Look...I" Brianna started, she knew what Mike was, he was dangerous, he beat girls, she was sad he died, but she didn't have one slight of remorse for him. "Please it would mean a lot to me!" the woman said. "I'll be there" Brianna whispered, before closing the door.

Anya, Holly J. and Sav were walking in the hall, "Can you believe that we are seniors this year!" Holly J. stated, trying to make it a statement, instead of a question. Sav looked at her, "I can't believe it!" Sav shouted, as he then ran down the hall to catch up to some of his other friends. "Holly J. I'll catch up to you later!" Anya told the girl, "Oh okay!" Holly J. said, as she watched Anya make her way over to Chase, whom was at his locker.

"Hi, so you officially back?" Anya asked Chase. "Yep..." Chase said. Chase the kissed Anya, "Woa..." Anya let out, she wasn't expectating that type of kiss. "Anya, I'm sorry I have no clue what came over me..." Chase said. "Oh you don't have to apologize, I kind of liked it...it's like you were a bad boy for a minute. Chase chuckled a little, "Just call me Ace!" Chase said. Anya laughed.

It was nearing the end of the day, and Anya saw Chase again, "Sup Ace!" Anya teased. "Sup who?" Chase asked her. "You know Ace...you told me to call you that...it was basically just a joke?" Anya said, trying to see if Chase remembered it. "Nope doesn't ring a bell, So it's nice to see you again Anya!" Chase said. "But you already saw me!" Anya said, getting worried. "Yeah I know it's just..." Chase said nothing and left.

"Brianna you can do this...why are you crying?" Jane asked her, by then Travis made his way into the room, "Because I can't go to the funeral of a guy who beat me!" Brianna shouted. Travis and Jane shared a glare.
