Please review so I know if you want me to continue! Its my first story so let me know what you think!!!
Brenda is lying on her bed in her dorm room in Minnesota. The room is quiet and empty for once! She is hating every minute of being there. She has never felt so alone in her life. Well actually she has before but this is even worse because this time she couldn't turn to Brandon for advice, or even her parents. Ever since she arrived there she knew something was wrong about the way she felt. She had lost the most important person to her 6months before to her supposed best friend but she still longed for him. And she knows that somewhere he thinking about her too! She knew this was a mistake.
Back in Beverly Hills- Dylan's House
He and Kelly were sitting on his Couch. His mind was set somewhere else. Kelly tries to cuddle with him, but she can tell that something is bothering him.
"Dylan what is going on with you?" she asked. She is a little passed frustrated with him.
"Kelly I don't want to talk about it with you right now!" He blows it off.
" Oh my god, are we back at this? Why won't you let me in?" Kelly gets up and walks to
the kitchen to get a glass of water.
"Kel, quit it already, I am with you. What more do you want from me?" Dylan stands up and turns around to face her.
"I want you to be able to talk to me. " Kelly starts to pout.
"We do talk, only when we do we yell and get angry." Dylan gets sarcastically frustrated.
Dylan's phone rings.
"yeah" He answers.
There is a pause on the line
"Dylan? Hey its Brenda…..I need to talk to you."
"Hey Bren, how is Minnesota? We have missed you here." Dylan gets excited and mood in his house immediately changes.
Kelly is ticked. "Dylan tell her we are the middle of something please, we ARE in the middle of something aren't we?" Kelly asks angrily.
"Everything is not that great actually. I just needed to talk to a friend. Am I catching you at a bad time? Kelly sounds upset?"
"No she was just leaving actually…" Dylan explains
"Kelly we can finish this argument tonight, you should probably go home for now." Dylan dismisses her.
Kelly grabs her purse and heads to for the door "Dylan don't bother calling me tonight, we can finish this tomorrow….maybe.." and slams it on the way out.
"So Bren what's going on?" Dylan inquires
"Are you sure things with Kelly are ok?" Brenda tries to sound concerned but she obviously could care less.
"Oh we have been having problems ever since we were in Europe. Its no big deal. She will get over it. So tell me what is bothering you Bren."
"Well I actually was wanting to come home." She is hesitant to say it at first, but it finally comes out.
"What I thought you wanted to be in Minnesota? What happened? " – Dylan
"….Well….I just am not liking it as much as I thought I would. I just really want to come home. And then I called my family and as it turns out Valerie was having family problems, and I know she is going through a lot. She really needs all the support she can get right now. I don't know what to do Dylan. "
"Bren if you want to come home and you are sure about it….then you should come home." Dylan advises.
"Well I can't stay at home. And I can't even afford my plane ticket back. I don't want to ask my dad for the money. He already has so much on his mind. I don't want to add to the list. He even told me that since they have given the room to Valerie then they can't back out of it. He said that I am welcome I just don't get my room. I don't want them to have to kick Valerie out either. Like I said she needs support." –Brenda
"Well that leaves you on the couch?" Dylan laughs
"Pretty much….so I don't know what I want to do anymore. I mean if I get home I can probably get a dorm?"
"Bren that's ridiculous. I will fly you down here and you will stay here with me." Dylan offers.
Brenda starts to get excited about it but then worrys….
"Dylan, what about Kelly? What would she think of it?" -Brenda
"Kelly will be fine. This is my house, and it will be ok. You know I am always going to be here for you….its not like this will be a permanent arrangement either. Just until you can figure something else out, I mean you can stay as long as you need to." Dylan explains.
"Dylan I don't know what to say…."
"Say you will except my offer…."
"……….Yes…" She says in a quiet voice.
"Great, let me make the arrangements at the airport."
They hang up. Dylan calls the airport and gets Brenda out on the next flight back.
Brenda is packing her things and getting ready to go just as Darla (her roommate) comes back in the room.
"Hey Brenda, whats going on?"
"I am moving back to Beverly Hills. And I am leaving now."
Back in Beverly Hills – 1 ½ hours later at the Peach Pit
Brandon, Donna, Kelly, David, and Dylan
"I am starting to miss Brenda" Donna sadly says.
"Yeah me too" everyone kinda says in sync.
"Well she on a flight back now…"-Dylan
"What? I can't believe I haven't heard about it… Where is she going to stay?" –Brandon
"yeah that's a good question Dylan!" Kelly says upset.
"Well Kelly I think we should go some where and talk for a second." Dylan motioned for Kelly to follow. They walk out to the parking lot.
"Kelly, Brenda has no where to stay and she is enrolling in school here in California. So I kind of told her she could stay with me" Dylan says
"Well you know what Dylan she has parents who live in a house. In fact I am sure at one point in time she used to live there to."
'Kelly I don't have time to argue with you. Valerie has moved into her old room. She doesn't have a place to stay. She is one of my best friends, she is coming and that is it. She not going to be living there permanently its just until she gets things figured out. I have to go. I am just helping out a friend who has been there for me, " He walks away from her….
The Walsh House Same time that Dylan is picking Brenda up from Airport
Brandon walks in threw the front door and walks over to his family(including Valerie) in the dining room.
"Did you guys know that Brenda was coming home?" Brandon asks.
Jim almost falls out his chair he is so shocked by the news. Cindy looks confused and Valerie not really knowing whats going on just waits for an explanation.
"No, what is going on?" Jim
"Well apparently she is moving in with Dylan. And she is on her way back right now." Brandon Explains.
"What about Kelly?" Cindy asks
"I don't know but you know how the three of them are around each other." Brandon.
"I don't, some one care to fill me in?" Valerie interested.
"Dylan and my sister were together, for a very long time. A little of two years and then it comes out that while Brenda was in Paris Dylan and Kelly had a fling. Well when Brenda broke up with him, he hooked up Kelly. But to this day Dylan and Brenda have this connection of the souls. Its hard to explain…but pretty much you can't get in between these two." Brandon tries to explain.
"So then why is he with Kelly?" Valerie confused but very interested.
"I have no idea, I have been trying to figure it out for along time. I honestly don't know why Kelly puts up with it either." Brandon comments.
"I am sure its not like that. " Cindy rationalizes.
"Mom, seriously have you not seen the two of them when they are together?" Brandon asks.
"Jim so what are we going to do about her living there?" Cindy asks
"I don't know right now….I am shocked that she would feel like she can't come home." Jim
"Is any of this my fault, I hate to burden you guys." Valerie asks.
"Its not a problem Valerie. I am sure that's what its about, she probably doesn't want to be on the couch. We will wait and talk to her when she stops by." Jim.
At the Airport
Dylan is waiting at a gate and then he sees Brenda getting off.
Brenda runs over to him and jumps up to hug him. For a second the two are in a tight embrace. As they are letting go Dylan kind of pulls her back in. He moves his head closer to hers as if he was going to kiss her. He hesitates and kisses her the cheek. Brenda looks at him, staring deep into his brown eyes as if she could see his soul.
"We should go…" She whispers.
They grab her bags, leave the airport and head to Dylan's house.
