The next morning, Brenda didn't get up to prepare Bane's suit and breakfast, she stayed at bed, hoping that Bane would leave, she doesn't wanna talk to him. Before 9 am, Bane leaves the house, Brenda got up and checked KC, when she entered the nursery there is a bouquet of blue roses, and the card says "I'm sorry beauty.. I love you…"

Brenda sighs, she look at KC who's still sleeping, she found another note besides KC "please forgive daddy…", this time Brenda let a small smile. She went down to see what she can eat, she saw the table set for one, filled with her favorite breakfast, and found another note "eat well beauty..and I'm sorry… I love you…" as tempting as it looks, she didn't touch the food.

She instead make herself a sandwhich and coffee. Doorbell rang then it hits her, it's Friday and its their last day for the preparation of Kelly's and Erica's party, she wasn't even sure if she wanted to continue the party, she sighs, she just thought of Erica if not for anything else, she'll do this for Erica. She went to open the door, and it was Donna

"hey.." Donna greeted

"Donna.." Brenda said in relief, at least one of her bestfriend is with her.

"I hope it's ok, David and Alyssa had their father-daughter bonding, and I don't feel like going to work so I decided to drop by.." Donna said

Brenda shook her head "I'm not gonna answer that, you know what will I say..so come on in.."

The two headed to the kitchen, Donna saw the foods "wow is there a breakfast party here?" Donna joked, Brenda didn't answer "uh oh I know that look… what happened"

Brenda told Donna everything that happened since Dylan and her started to get close again up until last night. "so that's why you two are always together this past few days?" Donna asked as she finally knew why, Brenda nodded "and you all did this for Kelly and Erica" Brenda nodded again "and yet, Kelly said some awful things to you.." Brenda nodded again "and now Bane… I can't believe him…" Donna said

"me either… I wonder what gotten into him, you know how we are Donna, we never fight, as in never in what 7 years? He met me when I'm still not over with Dylan, he knew everything about me.." she stop as she saw Donna raised her eyebrows "well, not that, but at least aside from that he knew everything about me, he accepted me for who and what I am, I thought our love were stronger than anything else…"

"don't get me wrong Brenda, but I think you and Dylan were kinda close this past few days, I mean really close.." Donna said laughing a little

"and I regret it.. I regret being close to him… I should've said no when he ask me to help him, I know how Kelly is when it comes to me and Dylan I should've stay out of their relationship…" Brenda vent

Donna sighs, she understood Brenda, they've been through this too many time since high school, she look past Brenda and saw Dylan standing there "Dylan!!" she called out, she look at Dylan, then to Brenda. "hi there Dylan…" donna said trying to be cheery and pretended that everything's ok

Brenda couldn't look at him, she remain facing Donna "you regret everything huh?" Dylan said

Brenda turned to face him "it's not like that Dylan.." Brenda said softly

"I know and I understand… I'm sorry if I again put you in this situation but it'll be over tomorrow…I hope.." Dylan said, looking at Brenda's eyes

"so!!" Donna said before anything happens "what's our agenda for today?"

Brenda look away from Dylan and turned to Donna "invitation to the gang, the drinks, and I have to set up my present to Erica.." Brenda said

"sounds fun.." Donna said

"ookay I need to get ready… you two feel at home..and do whatever you think of.." Brenda said trying to laugh

"hey bren can I eat this?" Donna said

"yeah sure.. I don't wanna put that into waste anyways..so go indulge yourself.." Brenda said

When Brenda was out of the scene Dylan look at Donna as if asking for advice "leave it to Brenda, she always know what to do best… so just stay cool ok?"

After almost an hour Brenda went down with KC, she was wearing sun glasses since her eyes were swelling because of her crying. She was wearing her favorite denim mini-skirt and a baby T, Dylan went to get KC and her stuffs as usual, but Brenda stopped him "we'll go with Donna.." she almost whispered

"sure.." Dylan reluctantly said

He settled KC at the back seat and put her stuffs at the back making sure everything ok, he went to get Brenda's present to KC and load it to his car, while Donna and Brenda went to get all the stuffs they bought for the party they were about to load it in Donna's car but Dylan stopped them "put it here… KC is at the back seat..want her to be comfortable.." Dylan said, the girls nodded and load everything to Dylan's car. When they done, Dylan went to his car and followed the girls car. They went to the beach house to set up,

Brenda avoided Dylan at all cost, not because of anything but she was cautious just in case Kelly decided to 'visit' them again, thanks to Donna, somehow they had fun despite of everything happened. While preparing, Brenda's cell phone rang at least 50 times but she didn't answer any of it, she continue what she's doing completely ignoring the calls. The banners were all up, the bar were made, Brenda's present for Erica were set, the only lacking is the food and the guests and of course the celebrants.

"wheew.. I thought it'll be fun" Donna said as she lazily slouch at the couch

"and now you're complaining.." Brenda said laughing

"so what else do we need?" Dylan said joining them at the couch

"inform the gang.." Brenda said

"I can take care of that…you need to rest bren.." Donna said "and that little angel.. I can't believe she's that behave…as if she knew your busy…" Donna said laughing

"you're telling me" bren and Dylan same at the same time

Brenda's phone rang again, "Brenda I'm gonna answer that.." Donna said standing up

"whatever..tell him you found my phone somewhere…" Brenda said

Dylan eyed her "what? I don't wanna talk to him.." Brenda said

Donna went a little further from Dylan and Brenda, Brenda kept on looking at Donna, she couldn't hear what they were talking, Dylan laughs "I thought you don't wanna talk to him?"

"yeah..right…" she stop looking at Donna and played with KC instead. After a few more minutes, Donna came back to them. "what did he wants?" Brenda asked as if she didn't care

"you of course…" Donna said laughing

"well, let him suffer.. I still can't believe him.." Brenda said

"yeah right let's see… as I know Bane would never let you get mad at him this long…he might have something for you when you get home…" Donna said

"I don't care.." Brenda said

"so what are we gonna do now?" Donna asked

"mega burgers will do… what do say bren?" Dylan asked

"nope.. I wanna go home… I'm tired.." Brenda said

"tired or your excited about Bane's surprise if he has one?" Dylan teased, Brenda glared at him "kidding.." he said

"ok.. I'll go out and spread the news… and you drop Brenda home?" Donna said

"sure"

"no" Brenda and Dylan said at the same time, Dylan look at Brenda "uhhmmm don't you remember you have… to… ah.. get the proposal..about that girl thing were talking about…" Brenda lied

"oh that one… yeah.. I forgot.." Donna play along

"bren… you don't need to lie.. it's ok with me.." Dylan said obviously hurt

"sorry" Brenda almost whispered

Dylan didn't say a word, he just nodded "so I guess I'll see you two tomorrow.."

"yeah.." Donna said

He stood up ready to leave "Mckay.. you mad?" Brenda asked

"to you? Never… see you tomorrow…" Dylan said then he headed out

"great just great!!" Brenda said

"what's the matter bren?" Donna asked

"Donna I don't know… I just have this feeling that he'll find out soon.. I can't really look at him or be with him without feeling weird…" Brenda said

"aww bren I hope I can do something.."

"just be with me all the time Donna… I need you… you're the only person who knows everything…"

"of course I'll always be here..and by the way, Bane cried to me.. not that you're interested but I think you should know.." Donna said

"he did?" Brenda loose he guard off, Donna laughs, "I mean so what.. it's his fault, Kelly talking me like that I can handle, him thinking like that I can't…" Brenda said

"oookay.. come on… I have a party to spread.. " Donna said

The two heads out, after Donna drops Brenda and KC to their house, she went to the casa Walsh telling everyone about the party, then to the hospital to tell Andrea, to Janet and head home.

Brenda change in her PJ, it wasn't night time but she wanted to rest early. She and KC played on their bed. She found herself waiting for Bane after several hours, it's almost 7 and Bane should be there, 3 hours ago. She fell asleep waiting for Bane.

It's almost 10 when Bane came in, came in drunk. He went beside Brenda and hugs her "I'm sorry beauty.." he said , Brenda could smell the alcohol from him

"you're drunk.. get some rest now.." Brenda said coldly

"no bren.. we have to talk.." Bane said

"when your sober.." Brenda answered

"damn it Brenda.. I'm trying here.." Bane said

"then maybe you shouldn't came home late and drunk…" Brenda said

"fine I'll leave you alone..if that's what you want" Bane said standing up, "I love you bren..i love you so much that it hurts so to see us like this…" Bane said the he leaves.

The next thing Brenda heard is Bane's car speeding off. "damn it Bane..where will you go at this hour!!" Brenda said to no one

Bane went back to the club, he went back drinking, someone sits besides him "mind if I join you drinking?" a female voice said, he look up and sighs

"what are you doing here Kelly?"
