"Oh God no," she said.
"I need to talk to you."
"I have nothing to say to you," she said.
"Then, listen. Please," he begged. Kaitlin folded her arms in front of her and sighed. Bradin took a deep breath and began to explain,
"I love you. I know you don't believe me after what happened. But, you should. Kaitlin, I didn't know they were going to have a shooting plan. I knew that they were going to do something and didn't stop it. It was a mistake. I should have told someone about it. I forgot about it when I started hanging out with you. I had so much fun and was happy every second that I was with you. when I was away from you, that happiness seemed to disappear."
"Like I told you… it's my fault that Sean is here."
"No," he said taking a few steps towards her, "It's not your fault. It's mine."
"BULLSHIT!" she screamed. "According to you, I made you forget about the plan. You knew and I made you forget it. If I haven't come into your life, we wouldn't be here."
Bradin knew she was going to get hard to. He sighed, lowered his head, and closed his eyes. Kaitlin moved until she felt support behind her back. She leaned on the door and stared at Bradin. He looked up and walked over to her until he was in front of her. He placed his hands on the door behind her so that she was caught in between his arms. She knew what was going to happen.
"I love you," he said softly as he stared into her eyes. Just as his lips were about to touch hers, they heard the door unlock.
Yes, Kaitlin thought. She looked at Bradin. He looked really upset and pissed off. They moved off of the door as it opened. Stacey appeared.
"Are you two done?" she asked.
Kaitlin pushed her way through and out of the room. Stacey looked at Bradin.
"It's over," he said, "We're over."
"Sean is up. He wants to talk to you," she told Bradin.
Bradin walked into the room and saw Sean's head move towards his direction.
"Hey, man," Sean said raising a hand.
"Hey," Bradin said shaking it, "how are you feeling?"
"I'm okay. I could be better. Stacey told me everything that happened since this morning. Is everything okay between you and Kaitlin?"
Sean saw Bradin's face fall. "We're over. I can't be with her anymore."
"What she told you earlier about not loving you was a lie. I know it was. I have never seen her more happy with anyone else besides you. You brought out the good and happy side of her. I don't know how to thank you."
"No need to thank me," Bradin said, "I ruined everything. Kaitlin thinks that she's a mistake all because of me."
"What do you mean?"
"I knew that Tanner and Sarah were going to do something. I didn't tell anyone because since I became close with Kaitlin, I forgot about it."
"Don't take anything she says seriously unless she tells you so. She loves you, man."
"She sure has a weird way to show it," Bradin said. "I'm really sorry for all of the pain that I caused her and you."
"I forgave you the day you helped Kaitlin from getting beaten up. Now, go make her forgive you."
"How? She won't even say a word to me."
"You know the way, Bradin. You're just scared. Do what you were going to do with her this weekend if none of this happened. Ask Stacey for help. I'm sure she'll be glad to help you."
