TRIP TO HAWAII
Chapter 7: A Talk Walk
Hey everybody! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a loong time and neither has reviewed your stories. I have been really busy moving to my new house you see, but now that I'm all stored in I'm back up and running) I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of this story myself because reading my story so far just now (to catch up on all the details) I think I have made it almost to complicated to continue. I hope I don't screw this up.
Anyways, this is chapter 7! I hope you like it!
Please review and tell me what you think! It would also be great to give me some ideas or I just might have to work on chapter 8 for six months... !! P
Well, ok, enjoy!

Brandon stared painfully at the door while the elevator was moving down towards the lobby. He had never known an elevator to take this long before. He was meeting Steve to talk about what he had seen when he woke up this morning, Andrea Zuckerman, naked, in his bed. He couldn't remember anything from last night! What had they done? Maybe Steve remembered something? Was this even a good idea? What if Andrea remembered, and woke up to find him gone? That was mean... But then again, he had totally freaked out. Now way in hell he was staying up there now, he would have lost his mind. This was the first time he understood smokers, because a cigarette was painfully tempting right now. He wouldn't go there though. He was still Brandon Walsh, the all American nice guy. He had to deal with this in the most heroic way he could figure out, but which way was that? The elevator made a little "ding" as it reached the lobby and Brandon sighed happily as he walked out to find Steve.
Kelly was sitting outside by the pool. She was working on her tan and was waiting for Donna to join her. She hadn't dared to call Brenda and Dylan's room. She kind of wanted to. It wasn't at all part of her plan that Brenda would find out, at least not this way. It would all blow over though, she hoped... She could just blame it on alcohol, or maybe loneliness. Brenda would understand, she always did. This was kind of different though... She really wanted to see her and talk to her about Dylan as if Brenda wasn't the Brenda going out with him. The whole situation was just so frustrating! Donna had said she could call Brenda, but Kelly had asked her not to. She hadn't told Donna why, just said she wanted to take the morning slow and that Brenda could join them later if they wanted to. Donna had coped with that, luckily.
David served himself with a little bit of salad and went over to sit next to Donna. They were having breakfast at the hotel and there was an "take all you can eat for 20$". Donna smiled at him as he sat down and asked him with her mouth full of food how he was planning on eating all that.
David: I don't think you should be the one talking...
David said hinting to the not so small mountain of food on her plate before her.
Donna: Hey... That's mean...
David: It's just the same you said to me!
Donna: Yeah, but you are a boy, it's ok to eat much... I just feel bad...
David: Well, you shouldn't have to. You have always eaten tons of food and you still look awesome...
Donna: Hey!
Donna felt a little offended by the "tons of food" comment, but she knew it was all just a joke. She threw a strawberry on David, it hit him on the chest and made a red mark on his white t-shirt. She laughed at him and he threw a strawberry back at her.
"HEY! NO FOOD FIGHTS!"
Some of the personal yelled at them. They stopped immediately, but couldn't stop laughing. They were such teens, but who cares, that's what they were.
Brenda wrapped a towel around her wet body and went outside to get her bikini. She was going surfing with Dylan today. Couldn't really say she was looking forward to it. She knew she would probably fall on her ass all day long, but she did it anyways. Dylan really wanted her to and they would get to spend the whole day together.
Dylan: Is the shower free?
Dylan asked thru the bathroom door.
Brenda: Yup...
Brenda said opening the door, letting Dylan in. She went out to the bedroom and put her clothes on while Dylan got into the shower and let the hot water wake his body.
Brenda: Do you really have to leave the bathroom door open? It's hot enough here already!
Brenda said for laughs trying to remember her line from the day she "caught" Dylan in the shower.
Dylan: I'm sorry...
Dylan played along and stook his head out smiling at Brenda that was standing in front of the mirror.
Dylan: Is this the part where you look really embarrassed and so cute it's to die for?
Brenda blushed a little at the thought. She had been so embarrassed.
Brenda: He he, I guess it is... Or it's the part where I tell you to hurry up because I want to go swimming, It's so hot!
Brenda gave him a quick kiss before locking the door to the bathroom and walking out on the balcony. She looked down at the pool. She could see Kelly lying there, in here blue bikini. The one she looked so great in. She felt so threatened. Why had Kelly kissed Dylan? And was that really the case? She knew she had told Dylan she believed him, but she would never know for sure. What else would he have said? Then again, if he wanted Kelly, why was he with her? Maybe it was just because he couldn't have Kelly and he was with her kind of on the rebound. After all, Kelly was so hot, and she was not. No, she didn't hate the way she looked, she knew she didn't look awful, but still, compared to Kelly... Maybe she should just leave now, and let Dylan have the blonde bombshell? Then she wouldn't have to get hurt. She stood there for a little while longer, thinking. She was really getting paranoid from this, but she couldn't see it herself. She wrote a note, put it on the bed and went out.
Dylan heard a slam in the door and got out of the shower. He wrapped a towel around his waist and went into the bedroom to look for Brenda. She wasn't there. There was a note on the bed. Dylan picked it up, it said:
"Make up your mind today, I love you, but I will understand... -Brenda"
"What the hell!?" Dylan thought. He didn't understand what on earth she was talking about. Why did she have to do this today, today was going to such a great day. They were going surfing and he was looking forward to seeing Brenda fall on her ass looking all adorable. "Oh my god!" he thought. He remembered the Kelly incident from last night. Was that what she meant? She said she believed him, why would she think he hadn't made up his mind? He walked out on the balcony. He looked around to see if he could spot Brenda somewhere. He saw Kelly instead, down by the pool. Yes, she was looking great, but she didn't love her. He loved Brenda. This wasn't a question, or an issue. He felt so much anger towards Kelly at that moment he found out he had to go talk to her. Had to inform her that nothing was going on. He put on his shorts and a tank top but stopped at the door. He had made it pretty clear last night. Why should he rip it up and embarrass her even more? She hadn't done anything wrong after that. Still, he felt he had to talk to her, kind of break the ice. He locked the door to the hotel and went to the elevator and pressed the lobby button.
Steve: Dude! Brandon!
Brandon: Hey, thank god you are here! You are never going to guess what I saw when I woke up!
Steve: What?
Steve and Brandon was walking down the path to the beach.
Brandon: Andrea! Zuckerman! Naked! In my bed!
Steve: What?! Naked?
Brandon: Well, I'm not a hundred percent sure, but she definitely had nothing on her upper body. Dude, do you know if her and I... You know..? Last night?
Steve: I have absolutely no idea...
Brandon: Damned... I can't remember anything from last night! What should I do?
Steve: Wait! When I think about it I remember me and Kelly following you to the hotel and to the elevator. We went to sit by the pool to talk for a little while, but the two of you seemed awfully friendly disappearing up in the elevator.
Brandon: No!? What did we do? Did we kiss?
Steve: No, no, nothing like that... You just had your arm around her... It's possible it's nothing... I mean, lots of people sleep with no clothes on their upper body with friends, like.... Well...
Brandon: Oh my god! This is not good...
Steve: Maybe she just likes to sleep that way?
Steve tried not even convincing himself.
Brandon: I guess I should probably go talk to her, check if she remembers anything.
Steve: Yeah I guess, good luck man!
Brandon: Well, not right now...
Brandon said as they reached the beach and started walking by the sea.
Brandon: I have to calm down first... Now tell me how you are, what was that thing at the Peach Pit the other day by the way? That thing with Dylan...?
Donna and David had just finished breakfast. Donna had asked David to go up to their room and get some beach stuff while she would go meet Kelly. She went outside to the pool and looked around for her. She spotted her, half asleep on the other side.
Donna: Hey Kel!
Kelly: Oh hi there Donna...
Kelly said yawning.
Donna: Tired?
Kelly: I guess you can say that...
Kelly laughed while Donna sat down next to her.
Kelly: So...?
Donna looked at her confused.
Kelly: How did it go?
Donna still had no idea what she was talking about.
Kelly: With David! Duh!
Donna: Oh, that... he he, it went great. I fell asleep in his arms. It was so nice.
Kelly: Aww... It sounds nice to.
Dylan: Kelly, I need to talk, come down to the beach with me.
Dylan showed up from nowhere standing next to Kelly.
Kelly: Am, what, me?
Donna: Hi Dylan
Donna tried, confused by the situation just as Kelly.
Dylan: Come on Kelly, now...?
Kelly: Well, ok, sure...
Kelly got up and they walked away.
Donna: Bye guys...
Donna said halfway to herself and laid back down on the sun bed, she fell asleep.
Brenda walked into the lobby. She had been walking a little bit around the town, thinking. She spotted David in the lobby, thinking he might know where Donna were. She really needed somebody to talk to about this whole mess. What if Dylan did decide to leave her? She had said she would understand, but still, she would be heartbroken.
Brenda: David! David! Wait up!
David spotted Brenda, waved and waited for her to come over.
David: Hi there... what's up?
Brenda: Do you know where Donna is?
David: Ok, so I'm not good enough for you hah?
David joked as he started walking towards the pool with Brenda.
Brenda: David, you know you are, it's just that some issues is really girl issues you know?
David: Yeah I do, I'm just kidding with you.... She's over there, but please don't steal her for to long will you?
Brenda: Thanks!
Brenda said rushing over.
David: Tell her I'll wait for her here by the pool!
Brenda: Sure will!
Brenda reached Donna and tried to say hi, but Donna was asleep.
Brenda: DONNA?!
Donna: oh, what, who?
Donna woke up looking really confused, and funny. Brenda had to laugh.
Donna: Oh hi Brenda, I'm sorry... I was asleep. What's up?
Brenda: I really need to talk to you, can we go down to the beach?
Donna: Yeah, sure, just let me wake up here...
After Donna yawning and stretching for a little while they walked down towards the beach.
Dylan: Kelly, I want to talk to you about what happened last night. I know I made it clear to you I'm not into you like that and I hope you got it. I guess you probably then think this is really unnecessary, but I want to talk about all there is to say so that we can still be friends... Just friends...
Kelly: Am, ok....
Kelly felt a little embarrassed walking by the ocean with Dylan. Maybe little would be an understatement. She could feel her face heating up.
Kelly: What's there to say? I have told you how I feel? Have you changed the way you feel? Have you thought about it?
Dylan: No, no, it's nothing like that, I know I want Brenda, I'm sorry... But she left me a note saying I had to make up my mind today and that she would understand. I guess I kind of think this should also be the day we put the whole thing behind us, leaves nothing unsaid, just so there won't be any misunderstandings.
Kelly: Yeah ok Dylan... Are you sure you are Dylan? You don't act very Dylan...?
Dylan: Yeah I know Kelly, I'm just stressed. I have no idea where Brenda is. Sorry, I won't talk about Brenda. But say all you need to say now.
Kelly: I think the kiss said all that there needs to be said.
Dylan: No it didn't...
Kelly: Are you sure?
Kelly walked towards him.
Kelly: Because I can show you again...
Dylan: Kelly, please, you know I'm not up for it. Now let's try to make a friendship work ok?
Kelly: Well...
Kelly smiled sly at him.
Steve: Oh, it was nothing special, it will blow over, in fact it already has...
Steve wondered if he should tell Brandon or not. Now that Kelly knew he had somebody to talk about it to. Letting more people know could be a bad thing. Besides, Brandon was Brenda's brother, there was no way of telling how he would react.
Brandon: You wanna talk about it?
Brandon had a concerned tone to his voice, so Brandon-ish.
Steve: No, it's ok...
Brandon: Hey, isn't that Kelly and Dylan over there?
Steve frowned, yes it was. Kelly was holding Dylan's hand and they were talking about something. They were a good distance away so they hadn't seen Steve or Brandon.
Brenda: I have to talk to you about something that happened last night...
Donna: Sure, what?
Brenda and Donna was walking down towards the beach.
Brenda: At the club, I saw Kelly and Dylan kissing...
Talking about it brought back the painfull memory and Brenda cried out a little sob.
Donna: Oh my god, Brenda, are you ok?
Donna stopped and gave Brenda a hug.
Brenda: Yes I am, thanks...
Brenda said. Donna stroke her back and took her hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes.
Donna: Sure?
Brenda: No, not really... You see this is what I have to talk to you about...
They continued walking and now they could see the ocean. It was so beautiful and turquoise.
Donna: Yeah, you have to tell me what happened? Do they know you saw it? Have you talked to them about it?
Brenda: Yeah I have, I had a fight with Dylan. He said it was Kelly that had kissed him and that he was totally not up for it, but I just don't know Donna... I mean, I forgave him at the moment, because I love him so much and I don't want to loose him! But when I saw Kelly from the balcony today I thought about it. Why wouldn't he want her? She looks so amazing... I left him a note saying that he had to pick today and that I would understand, but if he picks her... I don't know what to do Donna...!
Donna: Oh my god... I am as confused as you are... I don't know what to say. But one thing is for sure, Dylan loves you, I know that, everybody knows that. About Kelly looking amazing, yes she does but she does not look any better than you do, just different because you are not twins. Plus, Dylan totally gets turned on by you, and that's really what matters the most isn't it?
Brenda: I guess... but Donna
Donna: Look...
Donna interrupted.
Donna: If they are having an affair, that is Dylan's loss and Kelly's because they will only have each other to fall back on. I can't believe she would do this to you!
Brenda: Isn't that Brandon and Steve?
Donna frowned... Yes it is... Let's go over, or aren't you up for it?
Brenda: I don't know, Brenda said looking around, spotting Kelly and Dylan.
Kelly: Look, Dylan, I really think you should give us a chance.
She grabbed his hands desperately.
Kelly: I am not Brenda, I know, but I am better, different, something new. Don't you want that? A change?
Dylan: No Kelly, I do not, now let it go...
Dylan grabbed her shoulders staring into her eyes, waiting for her to understand the point he was making. She saw her shot and threw her arms around him and kissed him. Dylan was so totally caught by surprise he just stood still until Kelly let him go.
Dylan: What the hell was that?
Kelly: That was you choosing me... Whether you like it or not...
Dylan: What?
Kelly nodded her head towards Brenda and Donna, Brandon and Steve. All four of them had seen the kiss, all four of them surprised. Maybe except for Steve who thought it was a great stunt. Brenda just stood there feeling a tear fall down her cheek. They were having an affair! It wasn't just that one kiss. How long had this been going on? Didn't Dylan love her anymore?
Donna tried to say something she just didn't knew what. She looked over at Brenda that just stood there with a single tear on her cheek. David suddenly appeared next to them, all happy and unaware of what had just happened.
David: Well hello there campers! I don't mean to interrupt anything, I just thought you took very long and I was getting really bored... I hope it's ok?
Donna: Am, Brenda? Do you want to go to me and David's hotel room? You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, just so you don't have to face Dylan... You know, unless you want to...?
Brenda: Am yeah thanks...
Brenda turned around and walked towards the hotel. David saw her tears and got concerned.
David: What's wrong Bren?
Donna: Dylan and Kelly are having an affair, we just caught them kissing over there...
David looked over to where she nodded. Kelly stood alone by the ocean and Dylan was running on his way over.
David: Oh my god, I'm so sorry Brenda, are you alright?
Donna: Am, David, can you just make sure Dylan doesn't come after her right now, she don't need it...
David: Yeah sure... I'll see you later...
Donna and Brenda walked fast towards the hotel. Brenda really didn't want Dylan to catch up with them. She was so angry, but sad at the same time. She just wished for it never to be true, or maybe just for her not to have found out? She thought they where so happy... Why wasn't she enough for him? And if she wasn't, why was he with her in the first place?
Brenda: Let's run so he won't catch up
Brenda said to Donna and so they did.
Dylan: Brenda! Bren!
David: Don't...
David stopped him.
Dylan: Please David, don't bother...
David: She doesn't want to talk to you right now Dylan
Dylan: But I have to talk to her...
David: About what? How Kelly is in bed? Do you really think she is going to forgive you? Especially right away...? I mean, come on Dylan, you are having an affair, with KELLY, her BEST friend... Give her some time to come over the shock!
Dylan: I am not having an affair!
David: Oh come on Dylan! You are so totally busted, just drop the act...
Dylan: Kelly kissed me! This is none of your business anyways, get out of my way...
Brandon had gone over to David and Dylan.
Brandon: What the hell do you think you are doing?
Dylan: I am not having an affair!
Dylan felt like he was about to cry! It was all so frustrating... If he had a gun right now he swore to god, Kelly would be dead.
Brandon: You know, I made you promise me one thing! ONE THING! Don't treat her bad I said, and you told me that you wouldn't! You promised me that you wouldn't...
Dylan: AND I DIDN'T!
Steve: Oh come on Dylan! You are so busted! I can't believe you would treat Brenda like this...
Dylan: Oh shut up Steve! Let me go...
Dylan walked towards the hotel. He ran to see if he could catch up with Brenda, but he knew he couldn't. It was almost 10 minutes since she ran away with Donna. What the hell was he going to do?
end of chapter 7!
I hope you liked it and please let me know... What do you think Dylan should do?
And if you didn't like this chapter at all, let me know and I will replace it... ;-)
Have a nice day and pleeeease review!
