Marcus' POV:
I really didn't know what to wear to this party. Jolene had explained it was like a family/friend party. It was apparently for her good friend John. He was inviting a bunch of his friends and a few family members/cousins so I guess I could go pretty formal.
Not only was I worried about that, but this would be my first date with Jolene… Or sadder, my first date without Bree. Douglas told me just to have fun and I honestly don't know if I'll be able to do that. I hope I can…
Bree's POV:
I rushed back to the penthouse to get ready. "Hey guys, I'm going out tonight," I yelled to Chase, Kaz, and Oliver who were on the couch. "Uh, Mr. Davenport has to talk to you," Chase yelled. I stopped halfway up the stairs and turned.
"Why?" I asked as I came back down. Chase shrugged. "Hey, have you see Aspen?" Kaz asked. "I don't know. Ask Skylar," I replied. "Dude, why do you care?" Oliver asked. Kaz blushed. "No reason." I rolled my eyes. "Where is he, Chase?" "Mission Command," He replied.
I went to Mission Command and sure enough Mr. Davenport and Douglas were down there. I hadn't talked to Douglas since I broke up with Marcus. "Hey Mr. Davenport!" I exclaimed as I walked into the room. Douglas and Mr. Davenport turned around. Douglas looked at me pretty mad and left the room.
"What's up?" I asked. "I need you to help me out tonight," Mr. Davenport said. "Uh… I can't. I'm going with Owen tonight to his cousin's birthday party," I told him. "Fine, whatever, I'll just have Chase do it," He said without even arguing with me.
"What's up with you?" I asked. "Nothing. Douglas is going berserk because of Marcus though. He doesn't even wanna look at you," Mr. Davenport told me. What does that have to do with anything. "Okay… so?" I asked.
"Bree, come on! You know what you did to Marcus was wrong!" Mr. Davenport cracked. He was almost yelling at me. "Why are you blaming me for the break up?" I asked, defending myself. "Are you kidding me? How foolish can you get, Bree!?" Mr. Davenport yelled. Now I was ticked off! Me!? Foolish!? Marcus was the one that broke up with me not the other way around.
"ENLIGHTEN ME, DAVENPORT, HOW!?" I screamed, he had to shush me. I was being a bit rambunctious about this whole thing. I just couldn't believe he wasn't siding me on this one. After a moment of silence, he finally said something.
"You know why you're so foolish?" I really didn't want to know the answer to that. I knew whatever opinion he was going to give me; it wasn't going to be true. "You broke his heart." I scoffed. "I broke his heart?"
"You broke his heart, because he was so madly in love with you, that you took advantage of the fact that you two were together. You cheated on him Bree, and take it from experience, that's the worst feeling in the world," Mr. Davenport said softly. Almost as if he was about to cry.
The words sunk in. But, like with everything, I had to bury them inside. I ignored Mr. Davenport's comment and said, "I'll be back by midnight." Then, I left. The pain was dwelling more and more. So not only was Marcus not talking to me anymore, Skylar not having a boyfriend because of me, Douglas hates me, and now Mr. Davenport is disgusted by the thought of me. A part of me is glad I got back with Owen, but the other is just burning with guilt. I had to find a way to cover it.
No POV:
The party was on. Little did Marcus and Bree know that they were going to be arriving at the same party. Marcus looked around as Jolene was hugging a bunch of strangers he didn't know. How did she even know all of these people? She had been living in Florida for what seemed like a really long time.
Owen and Bree walked through the door and Owen was doing the same thing. It was going on for a good five minutes and then Owen waved over to someone. "Oh! You know who she is! Come here!" He exclaimed.
Bree frowned when she saw Jolene. Although she wasn't dating Marcus anymore and she was no longer a problem, she still didn't like the fact that she was there at the party. She hugged Owen.
"You didn't tell me you knew her," Bree whispered to Owen. "I'll explain later," Owen whispered back with a wink. "Oh! Hey, Bree!" She exclaimed. Bree waved a slightly as Jolene motioned for someone to come over.
When they got closer, Bree couldn't believe who it was. "You remember Marcus, right guys?" Jolene asked. Bree felt like throwing her against the wall. She was being such a wise guy. Bree couldn't even look Marcus in the eyes. "H-hey," She said. Owen said hello and all Marcus could do was stare.
He put his arm around Jolene as Bree clenched Owen's hand tightly. "Come on, BABY," She said extra loud for Marcus to notice. "Let's go get something to eat." Marcus rolled his eyes and went with Jolene. It was going to be a long night…
