Chapter 21 - The Past Returns

Barbara woke and found herself in Stewie's room. She looked around hoping Brian was there with here.

"Hey, you're awake!"

She looked to see Stewie watching her with a smile.

"Did I pass out?" Barbara asked.

"Yeah, after you saw those pictures", he said. "They're already a hit on the internet!"

"What? You put them on the internet?"

"Yeah, check out what Facebook says!"

Stewie pulled her to Brian's laptop and showed her the picture of her and Brian. There were already 50 likes and many comments.

"Get it on, dogs", Barbara read. "And they call it Puppy Love. That son of a bitch, not only a bore and a woman-hungry jerk, but now he's showing it off. I hate him. What the hell was that?"

"That last one was Quagmire", Stewie said. "He hates Brian with a passion."

"Why?" she asked.

"Something between him and Brian."

"Where is Brian?"

"Oh", Stewie said looking like he was hiding something. "He's…not here at the moment."

"Do you know where he went?" Barbara asked.

"He went to the Drunken Clam", Peter said ratting Brian out. "Something about looking for single girls."

Barbara's fur stood on end as she yelled.

"HE DID WHAT?!"

"He went out", Peter said. "Don't have a cow, Barbara. It's not like you two are an official couple."

Barbara growled in anger as she stomped down the stairs. She was going to go to the Drunken Clam and give Brian a piece of her mind. Not only was she jealous of Brian wanting to see other girls, but she felt hurt too. She told Brian her past and let him be her first kiss and this was how he was going to treat her?

"Ooh, that Brian", Barbara grumbled. "Jerk…making me jealous…I'll give him what for…"

Out of nowhere a hand grabbed her and pulled her back in an alley. Barbara tried screaming, but whoever it was put their hand over her mouth.

"I knew I'd find you."

Barbara froze as she heard the voice that haunted her dreams for days.

"No", she said. "No, it can't be. You threw me out on the streets."

Brian sighed as he paid his tab. It was a slow day at the Clam. There weren't any attractive women, and even if there were, Brian couldn't find it in his heart to ask one out. He knew things were awkward with him and Barbara, but he really wanted a relationship with her.

Brian got up and started his walk home. He was thinking about how to ask Barbara about a relationship, he didn't want to be too forward with her after he just pulled this stunt. Was she already angry at him, so much that she didn't want anything to do with him?

"I'm in trouble", Brian said.

"Help!" he heard from down the street. "Help me!"

Brian sniffed the air and recognized Barbara's scent. He ran down the street to see Barbara struggling to get away from a man who had a tight hold on her.

"James Woods?"
