Like I said, it is the last chapter, I know how depressing. But remember to look for my other story "Run Baby Run" Enjoy the last chapter and please review!
"No, I'm her boyfriend," Brandon said, his face fuming with anger. I could feel my eyes filling with tears but I told myself that it was not a time to cry. Brandon needed to know the truth and I needed to let go of him.
"Not anymore," Seth peeped up from the floor, which he was sitting on. Brandon turned his face to look at me.
"Is this true Nicole, because if it is, then what the hell am I doing here." My tears started to tumble out of my eyes as Brandon's voice went from soothing to angry. I nodded slowly and opened my mouth to tell him why he was there. I wanted to tell him that he was there because I wanted him to know, but not that way. That I wanted to tell him myself and us be alone. I wanted to tell him he was here to see his best friend, whose relationship had been through a lot. I wanted to tell him he was my best friend, always had been, and always would be. I wanted to remind him of our childhood memories, and remind him what I made him promise me when I told him I would be his girlfriend. That he promised that even if the relationship didn't work out, or something happened between us, we would always be best friends.
But when I opened my mouth to tell him all of this, I started to cry. No not cry, buy sob. I couldn't say anything but a whole bunch of messed up mumbles. Jacob ran up to me right away, but I pushed him away and fell to the ground. My legs pulled up to my chin and crying, that's how I stayed for a while. I knew that no one dared to say a thing now, and that no one dared to even breath.
Finally after minutes and minutes of crying, I looked up to see Jacob's face torn in agony and Brandon's face filled with anger. I didn't know whom he was angry at, Jacob, or me but he was angry. Very angry, lethal angry.
I still couldn't say much then though without bursting into tears again, so I couldn't say all the things I wanted to say to him, but I could say two words that calmed Brandon's face a little bit.
"You promised," I managed to choke out and Brandon's face twitched. I knew he remembered the promise he made to me, the promise our friendship rode on.
"Nicole," Brandon said running up to me on the first day of grade ten. It was our seventh anniversary of being best friends and Brandon told me he had something special for me.
I stopped immediately and turned to see Brandon running down the parking lot towards me. He stopped a foot away from me and held out a piece of paper.
We had a type of game when we were little, where we wouldn't say things out loud to each other but would instead write it down on a piece of paper. We had stopped playing the game when we went into Jr High and Brandon was playing it then.
I grabbed the piece of paper from him and read the few words that were written on the front.
Will you be my girlfriend?
It read with little yes or no boxes at the bottom, I took the pen from his hand and scribbled in another small box. This box was an "only if you promise me something" box and I checked it and handed it back to him. He looked at it and then at me and then at it again and wrote
And what is this promise?
And I turned over the paper and wrote on the back the promise. In the end it read
I Brandon, promise that even if the relationship between Nicole and myself does not work out, or something comes between her and I, it will not ruin our friendship.
And at the bottom were the check boxes "I promise" and "I don't promise." Brandon checked "I promise."
"I did promise," Brandon said under his breath and his face turned to a face of sorrow. I felt more tears start to prickle at my eyes as I stared at Brandon. He looked back at me, his eyes also glassy from tears. I don't remember how long I looked at him for, but the next thing I remembered was waking up in my bed with Brandon sleeping on the bed he made on the ground of my floor.
I knew that the night hadn't been a dream, because I wasn't that stupid. Jacob must've carried me upstairs or something and Brandon must've just followed. I hoped that all would be okay.
"Are you awake?" Brandon said quietly sitting up. I sat up too and saw Brandon was putting on a fake smile.
"I'm so sorry Brandon…" I said about to start my whole speech that I remembered from the night before, but Brandon interrupted me.
"Don't be sorry. I guess I was being a bit melodramatic, it's just I don't know. I'll live anyways." He seemed to be lost for words but it didn't matter. He forgave me and was at least trying to keep the promise he made to me. I had to thank him for that.
The rest of the two weeks were kind of…awkward. Brandon and I tried to fall back into the routine of being just friends. It was difficult, not for me, but for Brandon. At times he leaned in as to kiss me and had to pull away fast before his lips found mine. It wasn't that hard for me because I had Jacob and I knew that Brandon was made to be my best friend, not my lover.
After the two weeks were over, it was easier on both Jacob and me. He could again climb through my window and spend the night with me. He could now talk about what was happening within the wolves and what was happening with the vamps in the area. All in all it was nice having Brandon gone, but then again it wasn't. I still missed him now and again, and sometimes regretted ever leaving New York. But I survived and so did Brandon.
The next time I saw Brandon, August of that year when Jacob and I went down to New York, he had a new girlfriend and she seemed to be perfect for him. I could tell that she was completely in love with him and that she never wanted to leave his side. She was like a trusty dog that loved its owner more than it should have. But it was still cute. We even went on a double date, which was kind of awkward for Brandon and I, but we survived through it.
All in all my life went on and so did Brandon's. After graduation in grade twelve, Jacob asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes. We married the following summer and had our first of 2 children in March after the wedding. He was a boy and therefore would become a werewolf when he was at the age. We named him Adam after my father.
Our next child was a girl, which we named Audrey after the actress Audrey Hepburn. She was born a year after Adam. Life was wonderful for my family and I, even when Jacob had to go through the hard task of trying to stop phasing. Finally he did and we grew old together, like a family should.
When Adam turned 16 he phased for the first time. He became the alpha of the pack even though there were still some of the wolves from Sam's pack still around, those being Embry and Leah. The thing that surprised us the most though was when Adam imprinted on Leah only a week after phasing for the first time. Wow was Leah ever happy. And another thing that made Leah happy too was when Audrey phased into a wolf at the age of 19. Leah was happy that there was finally another girl, but Audrey wasn't. But that's another story.
ALLLLLLLLL DONE! Wow that was fun writing it. Hope you enjoyed it and hope you read my next story, which have not yet started yet, which will be called "Run Baby Run." And please review for my last chapter of Decisions!
