Before Brandon and Shae went back to new york Brandon wanted to have dinner with Val and Joseph and Bane and Brenda. They prepared dinner at the casa Walsh.
"so what is this all about Brandon?" Brenda asked as Brandon opened the door
"well hi to you too sis…" Brandon said, then he took KC "hi angel.." he greeted KC who giggles "come on in.."
They all went to the kitchen and ate they dinner. "so…" Brandon started, Val and Brenda look at him, and they knew he has something really important to tell them.
"we have something to tell you guys… were moving out of New York.." Brandon said
"what?" Val and bren asked
"to where?" Brenda added
"well, we're going to work for another new paper…" Brandon said
"yeah but where?" Val asked
"uhhmmm have you ever heard of LA Chronicles?" Brandon said smirking
Val and Brenda look at each other trying to ask each other if they heard him right.
"Brandon are you kidding me?" Brenda asked him, then she turn to Shae who shook her head
"Oh my God!! That's great Brandon!!" Brenda and Val almost scream out of joy
"shhh… you might wake KC…" Brandon said "and yeah we're moving back here.."
"as in here in casa Walsh I hope.." Val said "I'll move to Brenda's room, so you can have the master's bedroom.."
"of course we'll move here Val.. and thanks" Shae said
"nah..its ok.. I'm so happy!! at least I wont be alone anymore!!
"when are you moving?" Bane asked
"we're already packed, and all set to move, we're just waiting for some papers.." Shae answered for them
"does mom and dad knew about this?" Brenda asked
"yeah..i told them before flying here…" Brandon said
"what about the gang?" Joseph asked
"not yet, I wanted you guys to know first… maybe i'll tell them when we come back next week" Brandon said
"this is so great Brandon… I missed you being around…" Brenda said
"same here sis… and I'm so happy to get close with my favorite niece…"
"she's your only niece Brandon…" Val said
"I know… and still she's my favorite!!" Brandon said
"tell us if you need anything Brandon.. maybe we could help you move out…" Bane said
"it's ok, everything's been taken care of..we're thinking of selling our cars there and buying new one to Dylan's…" Brandon said
"yeah that'll be great bran.. I'm actually thinking of buying one too…" Bane said
Brenda looks at him, she didn't know about that, but then she knew Bane loves cars.
After few more hours Brenda and Bane went home, Brenda was so thrilled of what Brandon had said, so as Bane. brenda put KC in bed, as she was sleeping since they were at the casa Walsh.
At Erica's Car
"so what are you saying Andy?" Erica asked holding her tears back
"I'm saying this is not working out for us…" Andy said, he had change so much over the last few months.
"what do you mean Andy? I did everything for you Andy, I know about your other freak but I didn't do anything, I thought it was just a phase and at the end you'll still love me….how could Andy?" this time she was crying her heart out.
"I'm sorry…"
"sorry? What for? For cheating on me? For treating me like a crap or for dumping me like this? You know what? I'm fine don't worry…and I've just realized that I never really loved you…and thank you for making me realize it…now could get your ass outta here I wanna go now…" Erica said, she put a face that could hide how she really feels, it hurts her so much but she couldn't let Andy see it.
"but…"
"no buts Andy…you've hurt me enough what do want from me? Forgive you and pick up where we left? I don't think so…"
"I'm sorry Erica… I know you didn't mean what you said… I know I've been an ass lately but I want you to know that I loved you Erica…"getting no reaction from her, he sighs and went down the car. Erica sped off and head to Brenda's
She opened the door hoping that Bane and Brenda were asleep, but just before she close the door Bane and Brenda came down from the stairs "Erica…I didn't know you'll be here.." Brenda said
"have you eaten squirt?" Bane asked
Erica kept looking down, she knew they will notice her eyes and she don't wanna talk about it now "yeah I'm fine, I'm kinda tired and I wanna rest now…see you guys in the morning…" she said passing through them
"whoa..wait there missy…" Brenda stopped her "look at me…" Erica knew she's not getting away with it easily so she reluctantly look at her "what the hell happened?"
"look bren..im fine…uhhmmm…"
"does Dylan know you're here? Wait a minute it's almost 11 where have you been?"
"bren calm down… I'm ok…" Bane returned with a glass of water for Erica "thanks Bane…"
"ok I'll leave you two to talk… Erica tell everything to bren ok? I'm just upstairs if you need me…" Bane said as he kissed Erica on her forehead
Brenda was waiting for her to talk after Bane left, but she didn't, they just stood there waiting for each other to talk, Brenda sigh "are you gonna talk to me or I'm never gonna talk to you again?" Brenda said, she didn't mean it, she just wanted Erica to spill
"ok.. lets go at the living room.." Erica reluctantly said, the two head to the living room "ok… uhhmmm…" she started
"why don't you start from the beginning?" Brenda helped her
"ok…cliff note's version? Andy cheated on me and we broke up earlier.." Erica said trying not to cry
"what? Why? How did this happened? I thought Andy loves you to death?"
"I though so too… but obviously he's not…" tears escape her eyes
"awww… come here sweetie… it's so his lost honey… and you deserve better than him…" Brenda said hugging Erica to comfort her
"but I can't understand bren…" this time Erica broke down "I loved him… I gave everything to him… my heart and my soul…what did I do to deserve this pain bren…"
"shhh… honey… it's not your fault… he didn't deserved your love Erica… your young, beautiful, smart and very talented I'm sure there's someone there for you…"
"but I love him bren…"
"I'm not saying that this is gonna be easy, but I promise you it'll get better…" Brenda said
Erica look at her eyes "is this how you felt when Dylan cheated on you?"
Brenda sighs "I think so… I was devastated that time, I thought I couldn't live again… but look at me now? I'm ok.. I found Bane and I'm happy with my life now… look, I'm not saying that you should get pass this at a snap, it's ok to cry you lost your love one… but don't let this run your life, you can do so much more than moping around and crying yourself to death… and I'm always here for you…"
"thanks bren… I feel so much better now… bren can you promise me something?"
"sure squirt.."
"promise me not to tell Dylan.. I'll tell him myself…"
"but we have to call him and tell him that you're here.." Erica nodded "ok, go upstairs and get some rest I'll call Dylan.." Erica didn't moved "I promise I won't tell him anything….don't worry"
Erica went to hug her "thanks bren… thank you so much…" Brenda hug her back
Brenda went to call Dylan, Kelly answered the phoene
"hey Kel..is Dylan there?"
"yeah hold on.."
"Bren do you know where Erica is? I've been calling her and I can't reach her, I'm worried sick" dylan said as soon as he had the phone
"yeah she's here…"
"what? Why? Is she ok?" Dylan cut her off
"yes mckay she's ok… her phone.. uhhhmmmm… was low bat that's why she could call you… she's sleeping now and she said she's sorry if she made you worry… and promise she'll never do that again…"
"bren, I know something happened, but I'm not gonna make you tell me everything…I know you two will tell me when you're ready…"
"thank you Dylan… she said she wanted to tell you herself… and don't worry I've got her… I wont let anything happen to her.."
"thank bren… call me if anything happens… kiss her for me bren…"
"I will.. good night mckay…"
"night bren.."
Brenda went upstairs , she went to see Erica first before going to her room. She saw Erica already sleeping, she tuck her in and kiss her then she went out.
"hey she ok?" Bane asked as Brenda
"yeah…she broke up with Andy.. I still didn't know the whole story… what I know is that she's really hurt and I can't stand watching her like that…" brenda said as she joined Bane on their bed
"it's ok beauty… she'll get through it… we'll be there for her no matter what…" Bane held her closer
"yeah…" Brenda answered, then she drifted to sleep in Bane's loving arms.
The next morning Brandon and Shae went back to New York to fix everything they needed for moving back to Beverly hills.
--
Back on Brenda's place, Bane was making breakfast for everyone when Erica came downstairs. "good morning.." she greeted him
"hi squirt… morning… come on breakfast is ready.. I'll get Brenda and KC…" Bane said, then headed upstairs
Erica went to get herself a coffee, she was lost in her thoughts of the events yesterday, she recall her conversation with Brenda and she realized that Brenda was right, it'll not be easy but she has to move on. Brenda and Bane came in with KC, KC giggle when she saw Erica, "hey there missy…missed me?" Erica said getting KC from Brenda
"morning.." Brenda greeted
"morning bren.." Erica said, she kept on playing with KC.
"come on you two… let's have breakfast before it gets cold.." Bane said
Erica went to the table, she handed KC to Brenda and they all ate their breakfast. After almost an hour they finished their bnreakfast talking about everything but Erica's break up. "hey what do you say… we go out today? You know do a little shopping for KC.. she's almost 2 months old.. and I think I could use some shopping too…" Brenda said trying to cheer Erica
"yeah that would be nice beauty…" Bane said "what do you think squirt?" KC giggles "oh sorry lady bug I'm talking to Erica.." that made Erica laugh
"see I told you stop calling me baby names…" Erica said
"so?" Brenda asked again
"hmmm sure… I think I can use some shopping too…" Erica said
"yay!! That's great I'll get KC ready" Brenda said "hmmm hubby are you coming with us?" she asked Bane
Bane shook his head "I have to go to the club beauty…I'm sorry but I could meet you guys for lunch if you want…"
"hmm no it's ok… what about lunch at peach pit? We haven't been there for a while…" brenda said
"yeah that's cool… is 1 ok with you girls?" Bane asked, the girls nodded "ok.. come on.." Bane said motioning them to get ready
They all went upstairs and get ready, after an hour or so, they all meet downstairs, before they all head out the phone rang, Bane went to answer it "hello?"
"hey Bane..its Dylan.. is Erica up?"
"yeah she's here.. were just heading out the girls would go shopping… wait here she is.." Bane gave the phone to Erica
"hey Dylan… sorry about last night.."
"are you ok Erica?"
"yeah, I'll be fine don't worry… Brenda, KC and me were going out…so I guees I'll stay here till tomorrow.."
"is it ok if I tag along with you girls or it's exclusive for girls only?"
"wait I'll ask bren.." she look at Brenda "hey bren he wanna tag along what do you think?" Brenda look at Bane who nodded "sure… as long as he's paying for everything we'll buy.." she made sure Dylan will hear her
"deal…" Dylan said
"ok… see you at rodeo? We'll go now…" Erica said
"ok..bye…drive safe ok.."
"yeah bye.."
"he said yes?" Brenda asked laughing
"of course he'll say yes.. for all I know he just wanna check on me…" Erica said rolling her eyes, then she head out. Brenda look at Bane " hey hubby are your sure you're ok with this?"
"yeah absolutely… you're my wife beauty… and I trust you… and I trust Dylan so go and spend his money!!" Bane joked
"thanks hubby… I love you so much…" Brenda said as she kissed Bane.
"hey guys… come on now…" Erica shouted
Brenda and Bane stopped at the sound of Erica's voice and laugh a little then they went out.
Brenda and Erica saw Dylan at rodeo drive waiting for them "look he's early…" Erica said
"of course… he doesn't wanna face our wrath, he knew we hate waiting…" Brenda said aas they went out of the car and approach him
"hey…" Brenda greeted
Dylan went straight to KC's stroller "hey there my favorite godchild… how are you? Did you missed me?" KC giggled
"hello…" Erica said trying to get Dylan's attention
"oh hi girls…" Dylan said to them then he look at KC again "aren't you the cutest angel here? So where gonna have shopping huh?" he continue talking to KC
"Dylan!!" Brenda almost shouted
"what bren? I missed KC… godparent's prerogative…" Dylan said
"ok.. soa re we gonna stand all day here or what?" Erica said
"ok.. ok… you two are just jealous…coz i have a new girl here.." Dylan teased Erica and Brenda
"you wished!!" Erica and Brenda said at the same time
"ok..come on now… where do you wanna go?" Dylan said as he went to push Brenda aside to let him take care of KC, Brenda glared at him "I'll push her… you two go shopping and we'll follow you.."
Brenda rolls her eyes "whatever… hmmm I think I wanna buy new jeans… " Brenda said
"well jeans it is… come on…" Dylan said, all three of them went shopping
It's almost 12 when they finished shopping, they got new sets of wardrobe and shoes. "I don't get you girls..why do you love shopping that much?" Dylan asked them
"ok… I have a question for you first before we answer that… why do you love us even if we love shopping this much?" Erica asked, Brenda laughs at them
"hey mrs Jessup what's funny?" Dylan asked
"nothing mr mckay.. you're just too cute when your acting innocent at all.." Brenda said laughing
"what do you mean?"
"I mean, you know why girls loves shopping yet you're asking us as if were the first women you knew that loves shopping… I mean Kelly loves shopping more than we love shopping…"
"yeah I guess you're right… but I still can't understand you girls…"
"because were girls and you're not… end of discussion…" Erica said making Brenda and Dylan look at her raising their eyebrows.
They continue walking to where their cars were parked, but Erica suddenly stopped walking and stared at somebody. "hey you ok?" Brenda asked, Erica didn't respond, Brenda look at the direction where Erica's staring "oh my god…" was all Brenda could say
Dylan look at them curiously, "hey what's the matter girls?" no one replied to him, he too look at where they're looking "what the hell?" he cursed
Erica closed her eyes , trying to get a grip and the she took a deep breath, she walks towards the two people she saw "hi!!" she greeted them sarcastically "I see you two are having fun…" it was missy her bestfriend and her now ex-boyfriend
"Erica.." missy uttered, she didn't know what to say
"so she's the reason why you broke up with me huh?" Erica shouted
"Erica don't make a scene here.." missy said
"shut up bitch… and here I thought you're my bestfriend… how could you do this to me? Both of you…" she said looking to both andy and missy "come on Andy..talk to me… tell me was she the reason why we broke up?" Erica asked again
"we didn't plan this Erica…it just happened…" Andy finally spoke up
"of course you didn't plan it… you just let it happened!!"
Dylan and Brenda could actually them, it reminded them of a very similar situation back in 1993, but neither of them isn't talking.
"missy I thought you were my bestfriend… you lied to me… I even told you my problems with Andy and you gave me advice about it…why didn't you tell me?"
"i…i.. I'm afraid on how you'll react Erica… believe me I don't wanna hurt you.." missy said
"well news flash missy you already have.." Erica snapped at her "look… I hate you both, never talk to me again…" she walks away from them and get into the car, Dylan watched her sister cried, he hurriedly walk towards Andy and punched him "I trusted you with her…. how dare you hurt her…" Brenda gave KC to Erica and runs towards Dylan and Andy "Dylan stop!!" she step in front of Andy before Dylan could punch him again
"Brenda he hurt my sister… my baby sister…" Dylan said
"I know… you already punched him, I think that's enough…calm down ok?" brenda said, Dylan hated it when Brenda could make him do whatever she wants with just her calm words. She turned to Andy first "you… I trusted you, I stood by you when Dylan didn't want you for Erica.. look what you did… don't ever talk to Erica again or you'll answer to me, don't even look at her… understand?" Brenda said in a matter-of-factly
Andy nodded, Brenda turned to Missy " and you don't even think that you'll still be friends with my sister… she's your bestfriend for crying out loud… the least you could do is to come clean with her, she can do better than you, both of you… and like I said to Andy…never talk to her again…" Brenda said almost threatening them "and before I forget, I think you "borrowed" some of her stuffs, maybe you could return it to her I think its way overdue to your house…" with that she turned her back to them and walks towards her car
Dylan look at her "what?" she asked
"I thought you told me to calm down?" Dylan asked laughing
"well, at least I didn't punched anybody…"
They stopped walking, Dylan wanted to say something to Brenda about what happened to them but he couldn't, there was an awkward silence between them until, Brenda pull out of her trance and continues walking "come on I'm starving and Bane is waiting for us in peach pit…"
The drive to peach pit was quiet except for KC's giggles. When they arrived at the peach pit, Bane wasn't there yet so Brenda phoned him and he said he's coming in a few. They all sat down, no one's talking until Donna came in for lunch too. "hi…" she started cheerfully but when she saw their faces she drop the cheerful tone "guys…"
"hey what's the matter you three?" Donna asked
"nothing dons… we're just…uhmmm tired…" Brenda said obviously lying, but Donna understood her, she knew that Brenda would talk to her when she's ready
"I see that…" Donna said "here for lunch?"
"yeah we're just waiting for Bane.." Brenda said
"well I'm waiting for Kelly… she called me earlier and she asked me out for lunch…hmmm I bet everyone will be here… we always tend to sense if we're all here the pit.."
"yeah right.." just then Val came in " speaking of the devil.." Brenda said laughing "hey Val!" Brenda called
Val looked at them, Joseph followed her closely "hey guys… do we have a reunion that I don't know of?"
"no we just have 6th sense when it come to the peach pit.." Donna answered then Steve and David came in too "hon!!" she called David
"hey let me guess…it's lunch time and you just thought of going to peach pit?" Steve asked them, the gang nodded "I knew it…"
Bane and Kelly came in together "hey wifey sorry I'm late…" he kissed Brenda
"hey..i don't know that we'll all be here.." Kelly said as she kissed Dylan
"it's ok hubby… but I'm not really hungry…I wanna go home…" Brenda said
"what? Are you ok bren? Do want me to bring you to the hospital?" Bane said panicky
"yeah I'm ok… I'm just tired and KC could use some nap too…" Brenda said
Dylan look at her, he knew what happened earlier brings out some bad memories she already forgot. Val and Donna look at each other then they look at Dylan then to Brenda, Kelly did the same thing, while Steve and David went to order for everyone.
"Bren I'm sorry…" Erica said, everyone turned to her "if not for me you wouldn't…"
"I'm ok Erica… it's nothing promise… I'm just tired…" the gang look at her "seriously…" Dylan kept on staring at her "I said I'm ok.." she said looking at Dylan, she sighs "on 2nd thought I could use some mega burgers now…" Brenda said, she decided that it's better to join them than to explain to everybody what happened.
She looks at Erica "hey squirt what about ice cream? I think we both need some.. what do you think?"
"I want butter pecun" Erica said
"I'll go get your ice cream" Bane and Dylan said at the same time, they stood up at the same time too, the two men look at each other
Donna look at David, asking for help "uhmmm I'll go get your ice cream girls… I'm sure Donna wants ice cream too wont you honey?" David said
"yeah that'll be great…" donna said
"me too!!" Kel and val said at the same time
"all right..ice creams for the girls coming up…" David said then he headed out
Dylan and Bane sat down, Brenda look at Bane "hubby…" she softly said "come on let's talk…" she stood up and gave KC who's sleeping in her car seat to Val. Bane followed Brenda at the office.
The gang look at each other all curious on what happened, "are you two gonna tell us what happened or what?" Kelly asked
Erica sighs "ok… it's all my fault…" she started
"no it's not…" Dylan said
"let me finish my story Dylan…" Erica said looking at him, he nodded, "Andy and I broke up yesterday…"
"what?" Val, Kelly and Donna said all at the same time
"yeah.. we broke up… coz he wasn't in love with me anymore…" Erica said
"that bastard!!" Steve said
"calm down Steve, Dylan gave him a good punch already.." Erica said
"what? When?" Kelly asked
"ok, no more interruptions, we broke up yesterday and I didn't went home instead I went to Brenda's. I told her everything and I stayed there last night, when I woke up, Brenda asked me if I wanna go shopping, I know she's just trying to take my mind out of Andy so I agreed, and it actually helped me, I enjoyed my time with Brenda , KC and Dylan, he tag along because he wanted to see if I'm ok.." she look at Dylan " I know it Dylan don't try to deny… anyways everything's fine until I saw Andy with my bestfriend Missy!!"
"oh my god.." Donna said
"yeah and I said something that made Brenda like that…but I didn't do it on purpose it's just how I felt… I mean…" she started crying "I mean it's bad enough that my boyfriend cheated on me, let alone when it's my bestfriend he 's with now" she said trying not to break down again, Kelly looks down feeling guilty "no offense meant Kelly, Dylan… but it really hurts like hell… and…" she sobs "and I don't think I can do this.. it's like I'm being cut my zillion knives all over my body… it hurts so much.." she cried harder
"of course you can do it Erica… I'm always here for you remember.." Brenda said as she came back everyone look at her, but she seem not affected by it anymore
"I see she told you already…" Brenda said look at them "come here squi… I mean Erica.." Brenda laughed a little, Erica went to her and cried on her shoulder "shh… remember what I told you last night? Remember my journal?" Erica look at her and smiled "yeah, I did all of that..so I know you can do.. even better than I did… "
Kelly didn't know what to do, she never felt that guilty since summer of 1993.
Dylan's heart was breaking seeing his baby sister like that, he could almost feel her pain, and it hurts more to think that he caused that pain to Brenda back in 1993, now it's happening to his baby sister.
"here's your ice cream girls!!" David said all smiles trying to break the tension
"yay!!" Brenda and Erica said at the same time, the gang look at them not understanding a bit of what they are talking about. "hubby.. I want spoon.." Brenda pleaded in her baby voice
"sure beauty…" he said then he got the girls their spoons
"thanks hubby you're the best…" she then opened her ice cream "and I love you.." she added, Bane smiled at her
Val mouthed to everyone 'let it go they need time…' the gang nodded as they watched them eat their ice cream.
