Hey all! Thank you to the people who reviewed. I appreciate it sooo much! I got the 5th chapter done. Well, I got it to go the best way possible. But I must warn you that this chapter is um… well read it and find out.

Chapter 5- Confessions

He stared in shock at the girl as she slowly approached him. His eyes widened as he thought about how much trouble he was in. She was staring him in the eyes now, angrier than ever. She slapped him across the face and backed up some, satisfied with her work. He touched his cheek where she hit him.

"Why did you do that?" he asked in shock.

"I'm doing a favor for Brianna and because I think you're an asshole!" She screamed with force.

"Shi Ann, you don't understand," she started. "She kissed me. I didn't…"

"You didn't what? It doesn't matter who kissed whom. You kissed her back Bradin! And what is Brianna going to think? Oh, and then, on top of it all, you asked her out! Why?" She calmed down a bit so she could get an answer. All these questions were going through her mind.

"I… she…" he didn't know how to answer because it made no difference. He knew she was right. He knew his reason but at the time it wasn't clear to him so he didn't answer.

"You don't have an answer do you? That's what I thought," she said.

"So are you going to tell her?" Bradin asked feeling accountable.

"I'm not going to tell her anything."

"Good."

"You are going to tell her."

Bradin felt his heart drop to the pit of his stomach. There was something about that sentence that made him lurch. He knew he couldn't tell Brianna what he did and had a feeling he wouldn't have to. He knew it would be all over school before the end of the day. Then he realized that the principle had been staring at them for a while. He looked at the tall man who was just standing there with his arms crossed. Oh no, Bradin thought. The principal came up to the two.

"Well I guess you two have nowhere to go right?" principal Pholmer asked questionably.

"Um…" Bradin said with no clue how to answer. He was having a bad time finishing his sentences today.

"Wrong! You do have somewhere to go! Get to class!" Mr. Pholmer screamed. Bradin and Shi scattered into two different direction as the principal glared intently at them, watching them to make sure they got where they needed to go. Little did Bradin know that the principal wasn't the only one watching them.

6th Period and Bradin was out in space for the second time today. Well at least in Mr. Morison's class the lesson was interesting at least. This was Geography and that subject bored him more than anything. He was almost asleep but Isabelle kept staring at him and that scared him. Every time he looked back at her, she would smile. And the problem was that Brianna was in that class too. Also to add to it, so was Shi Ann. So basically all three of them were staring at him.

He was trying to avoid Brianna all day and knew it would be for nothing after the bell rang because she would come right up to him and strike up a conversation. For some reason he thought she had an angry look on her face but thought he just saw wrong.

He heard Dr. Herring (that's what she had the students called her just because she had a doctors degree) talking about Austria or something like that when the bell rang. Bradin was so relieved. But his relief went away when Brianna came up to him. Shi Ann just waited behind them, making sure that he was going to tell her.

"Can I talk to you Bradin? Um…" Brianna had a tear in her eye.

"Yeah is something wrong?" Bradin asked stupidly.

"You know what's wrong," she pulled him away and outside to the side of the building where nobody could see them.

"Yeah you're right there is something wrong and I do know what it is. I was trying to tell you but I didn't know what to say, and to tell you the truth I still don't know what to say, but that I can say I don't know why I did it," Bradin lied again. He did know why he did it. So he could see if he actually wanted Brianna.

Yes. He realized that he did want Brianna. But then he didn't. He was puzzled. He thought he didn't want her as more than a friend but the kiss with Isabelle proved him wrong. It meant nothing to him. Now he didn't know what he wanted. Did he want her or not and there was only one way to find out. She looked at him with a very confused look. He stared at her and then landed a soft kiss on her lips.

She didn't protest. She didn't back away. Instead, she let him kiss her. It was a very passionate, meaningful kiss. Once Brianna found out what she was doing she pulled away.

"This is wrong," she said, licking her lips. Then after she said that she ran out from behind the building and ran towards her car. Before she could get even close a car with alarming speed came out of nowhere and hit her. She flew over top the car and she fell to the ground hitting her head on the concrete. Bradin saw and came to her side. He picked her head off the ground only to see that there was a deep wound in the back of her head.

"Oh, no. Brianna. Shit! Hold on. I'll get you help," Bradin pulled his cell phone out of his back pocket with one hand while the other one was still supporting Brianna's head. He dialed for the ambulance to come to Playa Linda High immediately and hung up the phone. A tear dropped from his eye onto Brianna's face.

"Come on Bri, not now. Why now? Please don't die. Especially when you're mad at me." He saw her breathing so he knew she wasn't gone yet. He kissed her forehead. "Hang in there please. You can't slip away.

Bradin heard a siren closing in on the school. No sooner he could hear the ambulance a whole horde of teens squeezed out through the double doors to see what the commotion was about. The principal yelled at all of them to get back to class but through all the talking, no one could here him. He sighed and pushed through the crowd to see Bradin on his knees and Brianna in his arms.

"Westerly, what happened to Conner?" Mr. Pholmer asked with fright and concern.

Bradin let another tear fall and sniffled. "She… we were talking outside over there," Bradin started to say as he pointed to the place they were standing. Then he continued. "I…um… she got mad at me and ran out to go to her car when this car… this car came out of nowhere and… hit her."

"Where is the car now?"

"I…I don't know. I really didn't even realize that the car was gone. I was trying to call 911. So I didn't get a license plate. I can't believe they would just take off."

"Well there's nothing we can do now."

The ambulance pulled up at that moment and two men in white came out. They asked a few questions and took Brianna out of Bradin's arms. He got up as Shi Ann came running.

"Oh my god what happened?" she asked nervously.

Bradin sniffled again. "She was hit by a car," he said in a muffled voice. He got off his knees and started to get in the vehicle when one of the men stopped him.

"Where are you going kid?" the man had an attitude in his voice.

Bradin backed up some. "I'm going with Brianna."

"Are you her brother?"

"No I'm her boyfriend," Bradin tried to get in again. It worked this time. He jumped up and sat right next to Brianna. Shi Ann tried to get in too.

"I'm sorry miss. Unless you are related or have some kind of relationship that I don't know about and that I don't want to know about then I can't let you in.

"I'm her best friend you…" he put his hand in front of her again.

"I'm sorry we can't let you go."

"It's ok Shi, just drive there. We need to get her to the hospital as fast as we can. We don't have time for arguments. Please, for Bri?" Bradin said as fast as he could so they could get to the hospital. The guy shut the door and started the sirens again. They left the school for the hospital.

Bradin and his Aunt, sister, brother, Johnny, Susanna, and Jay sat in the waiting room with Shi Ann and Brianna's mom. Ms. Conner was crying while Bradin just stared. Stared blankly at nothing. Nothing but air. He felt so guilty. He thought if it wasn't for him none of this would have never happened. That if he would have just pulled away from Isabelle then he wouldn't be sitting in a waiting room, hoping Brianna doesn't die. He promised himself that if she was OK, if she would live, he wouldn't lie. He would tell her everything. Just then, before he got to finish his thought, he heard a flat line.

OK so its finished. Poor Brianna. : ( Well I can't say what will happen to her. I don't really think so far ahead so I have absolutely no clue what I will do in the next chapter. But I hope I can get it done with peoples help. So if you could review and tell me what you think and give me ideas where to go I would be most grateful. So thank you,
