Brynn slowly walked back to her father's house after a long day of shopping. She pushed her hair out of her face as she lugged her bags along side her. It had been five months since Blink's accident. Brynn had been so hurt by Blink that she didn't know what to do with herself. So she had told everyone that she had broken up with Blink so she could go back to her old lifestyle and she and Hilary had moved back in with their father, who acted as though nothing had happened. Hilary still went to the lodging house every now and then to see Jack, but Brynn had put that life behind her.

"Hey Brynn, wait up!" Brynn turned around and saw her sister running towards her.

"Hey Hil," Brynn replied, stopping to let her catch up. "Where have you been all day? I went in your room to see if you wanted to go shopping with me, but you weren't there."

"Oh, I was down at the lodging house. Blink came home from the hospital today," Hilary told her.

Just hearing his name made Brynn's heart skip a beat. "Oh…well that's good…" she said as casually as she could.

"He asked about you," Hilary said with a grin.

"Really? I mean…uh…what about?"

"Just asked how you were. I told him you were fine."

"Oh…well ok," Brynn said hurriedly. She wanted to get off that subject as fast as possible. "Well I have to get back to the house. Brian is taking me to dinner tonight and I need to get ready."

"I still can't believe you are actually dating that guy! He is such a jerk," Hilary said, trying to keep up with Brynn's fast pace.

"He isn't a jerk Hilary. He's a nice man," Brynn said defiantly as she opened the large oak doors of her house and walked inside.

"This is ridiculous Brynn! Just go back to Blink! I can tell he misses you!"

"Oh and how would you know that," Brynn stormed up the stairs, anger rising in her voice.

Hilary followed her up the stairs, "Oh please Brynn, it's so obvious! Why do you think it took him so long to get out of the hospital?"

"Because he didn't get better," Brynn said with a sarcastic tone.

"No Brynn. He stopped taking his medications and he wouldn't let the doctors do anything to help him. Jack finally convinced him to at least listen to the doctors," Hilary told her, reaching the top of the stairs.

"You say that like it's my fault! I didn't tell him to stop taking his medicine!"

"Well you broke up with him! He loved you Brynn! How do you think that made him feel?"

Brynn couldn't take it anymore. She felt as though she were going to explode. "How do I think he felt? How do I think he felt," she repeated, her voice rising each time. "I have no idea how he felt!"

"Whoa Brynn, calm down," Hilary said, taking a step backward.

"He said he loved me and then he broke my heart," she said, not lowering her voice.

"What do you mean he broke your heart?"

"I didn't break up with him…he broke up with me," she said, this time a little quieter.

"But…but you said that he —"

"I lied, ok?" she yelled again. "Brian is waiting and I need to get ready." With that Brynn turned on her heel and stomped to her room, slamming the door behind her.

"Ms. Pulitzer, a Mr. Brian Worthington is here to see you," Jonathan called through Brynn's door.

"Tell him I'll be right down," she said as she finished putting her lipstick on. She gave herself one last look in the mirror before she walked downstairs. She smiled when she saw Brian waiting for her at the front door.

"You look amazing," he said as she walked towards him.

"Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself," she said, walking up to him and putting her hand in his. Brian was about 6'2" with wavy brown hair and dark brown eyes that would make any girl melt.

He smiled down at her, showing his dimples and said, "Are you ready to go?"

"Ready! Where are we going," she asked as he led her out to the carriage.

"It's a surprise," he said, smiling again.

The ride only took about ten minutes with Brynn begging to know the surprise the whole way. The carriage stopped and Brian stepped out, holding out his hand to help Brynn down.

"Well, here's the surprise," Brian smiled as Brynn stepped out of the carriage. "I thought we could go on a moonlit stroll through central park."

"That's so sweet," Brynn said, taking his hand as they began to walk through the park. "I bet you do this with all the girls."

"Nope, this is just for you darlin'," Brian said.

"Yea yea sure," she said, pushing him away playfully. Brian grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into a deep kiss. "Brian, stop," Brynn giggled. "We're in public!"

"Oh, no one is here except for those newsboys," Brian said the last word with loathing. Brynn whipped around to see Jack, Blink, and Hilary sitting on a bench only ten feet away. Her eyes grew wide in horror as she began to retreat backwards.

"Brian I…uh…I can't be here," she said, her heart beating fast and her breath quickening.

"What do you mean? I wanted this night to be special," he said staring at her curiously.

"I…I can't explain. We just have to go."

"We aren't going anywhere," Brian said forcefully.

"No…we really need to go, now!"

Brian grabbed her by the arm roughly, "I said we aren't going anywhere." A look of fury was growing in his eyes as he squeezed his hand tighter around her arm.

"Ow Brian, you're hurting me," Brynn said, trying to pull her arm away.

"Hey Hil, is that Brynn over there with that guy," Jack asked.

"Oh yea, that's Brian," Hilary said. "Brynn's new boyfriend." At this Blink looked over in surprise, but didn't say anything.

"What's he doing? It looks like he's hurting her," Jack said, standing up quickly.

"Go do something," Hilary said urgently.

"Come on Blink," Jack said, but Blink didn't move.

"You go Jack," he said, looking to the ground. Jack sighed and walked over to where Brynn and Brian stood.

"Hey, let go of her," Jack said, pushing Brian threateningly.

"This is none of your business newsie," Brian said, still holding strong to Brynn's arm.

"It's ok Jack. I'm fine," Brynn lied, not wanting to look weak. "We were just leaving."

"Is that right? Well, if I hear that you harm one hair on this girl's head you are going to regret it," Jack said, not taking his eyes off of Brian.

"Let's go Brynn," Brian said, pulling her along the path and leaving Jack standing alone.
