Chapter 2:

Brandon sat in his room staring at his wall. Today was the last night of summer and the gang was meeting at the beach for a last night of fun before classes started. This meant he would probably have to face what he had been avoiding all summer. While most of the anger had gone away, he still loved Kelly and seeing her wouldn't be easy. He also hadn't had a chance to fight for her like he thought he should of. Maybe it wasn't to late.

"You ready to go brother, the beach should be pack with hot chicks who are waiting to meet us." Steve asked. One hot chick more importantly would be there, Claire. After her break up with David, she probably would want some company. Steve couldn't believe he was thinking this, Claire was probably the most stubborn, know it all in the world.

"Yeah, I guess so. I'm just not sure how nice I will be if I see Dylan's hands all over Kelly. You have to remember she was my girlfriend up until the day they left." Brandon sighed, remembering the good times they had before everything went wrong.

"You go to get over her man, it is possible, I did." Steve told him. Yeah it hurts like hell losing someone like Kelly, but it wasn't the end of the world.

"Yeah this coming from the guy who changes girls more than he changes his underwear." Brandon replied as they headed out the door and down to the beach. When the walked up to the group, Brandon spotted Kelly and Dylan right away. They were standing by the fire, Dylan's arms were wrapped around Kelly waist and his face was nuzzled into her neck. A romantic sight for some, but to him it sickened his stomach.

"Hey Brandon," Donna said cheerfully as she kissed him on the cheek, " you should just go over there and talk to them. Get it over with, I know it's hard, but you have all been friends for years, don't let this ruin it."

"It has already been ruined Donna, I don't know if I can do it. I still love her, I still want to be with her. It's sad" Brandon spoke, saddened by his loss. As Brandon and Donna carried on their conversation, Kelly and Dylan talked quietly by the bonfire.

"I don't think I have ever been this happy Kel, it is like we have a new chance at everything" Dylan told her sincerely. He had so much clarity after his accident and being in rehab for so long. Then meeting the hypnotist just really confirmed everything he already felt, when Kelly was in his life, it was just better.

"I know, I like us starting from a place more honest. I don't want to make the same mistakes that we did last time we were together. No lying, or sneaking around." Kelly replied.

"And you will be my first priority, not rescuing Brenda, or funding some project that is probably a scam anyways."

"Or the sorority, for me, I want to make this work," Kelly said. She did want to make it work, her and Dylan just made sense. He said it perfectly the night of the senior poll. They were soul-mates, to kids who had to walk themselves home from school because there parents forgot to pick them up. They were there for each other when they didn't have anyone else, and if it hadn't of been for Kelly, Dylan would of died instead of his father Jack, "hey there is Brandon, should we go talk to him?".

"I don't know, I'm not sure if he really wants to talk to us," Dylan worried.

"He is our best friend Dylan, we have to try". So they walked over to Brandon hoping it wouldn't cause a scene.

"Hey Brandon," Kelly whispered, she had forgotten how handsome he was. While she was completely in love with Dylan, part of her would always love Brandon.

"Hey Kelly," Brandon answered, not acknowledging Dylan. He looked her over quickly and was mad at himself for feeling weak in the knees. She was a beautiful site.

"How was your summer?" Kelly asked. She could see he didn't really want to talk to them.

"It was fine,but hey I am going to go talk to Val, it was good seeing you." He said, leaving Dylan and Kelly by themselves again.

"He didn't even look at me" Dylan stated, not surprised though. He took the one person Brandon loved away from him, even though Brandon had taken her from him first.

"It will get better" Kelly hoped. It had to, she didn't want Brandon out of her life. He was her best friend and they had been through a lot together.
