Chapter 7: Ready to kill Dad, Kitchen Confrontation, Fighting a Lie, then Fighting with Brad

I smiled at him, and his smile reflected off of mine. I was again totally happy, but to ruin all my moments, Dad never fails. All of a sudden, there was this horrible clanging sound, like a ton of pots and pans hitting each other, and hitting the tile floor in the kitchen.

"WHAT was that?" I said, sitting up.

"Oh, something tells me it's Phil, Lord of Disruptions," Brad said

I laughed again, although I knew he was right.

We walked down the stairs together, and peered into the kitchen, Dad was buried under a mountain of pots and pans, and Mom was trying to dig him out. When she saw us, she said, "Oh thank GOD, can you two please help,"

Without an answer, he and I daintily stepped over the scattered pots and pans, and began moving pan by pan, pot by pot off of Dad. By the time we had him fully uncovered, he glanced at Mom, Me, then Brad.

"Um…thank-you," he said quickly as Mom helped him up.

"What happened Dad, did you collapsed under Pan Ambush because of the shock you brought upon yourself upstairs?" I said

Dad looked at me narrow eyed, "Ha, ha."

Mom looked at me, then at Dad, I guess she was shocked he hadn't noticed my "change,"

Dad looked and Mom, and then at me, but still didn't seem to notice. I gave up on him trying to figure it out, so I looked from Mom to Dad, and took Brad's hand and said, "Well, since we're done here, we're going for a walk,"

"Alright," Mom said, almost as I had pulled Brad all the way out of the house.

We were walking briskly down the porch steps, and down the driveway, when we got to the sidewalk, I slowed down, and Brad stared at me with that look, the one he uses when he knows something's bothering me, and I'm not going to tell anyone what it is.

"What? Stop looking at me like that,"

"I know something's bothering you," he said

"No you don't, because there isn't anything bothering me."

"Um-Hum," the way he said it I could tell he didn't believe me. Which was smart, considering I was lying.

He and I walked in silence for a while before he finally said, "If you didn't want to tell me what's bothering you, why did you practically tear my arm out of the socket trying to get out of there so you could talk about something,"

"That's not why I yarded you out of there," Lie.

"Really? Then why did you?"

"Because, I…needed to be alone with you." Lie.

"Um, we were alone before."

"Yes, but…" Why was I still talking? I should have just shut up, and told him, but NOOO. I had to stick with my lie, because the truth of why I was so upset was just way too lame.

Brad sighed, and said, "Dana-"

"Look, whether or not there is something bothering me, it has nothing to do with anything that is your concern." Whoops, that Dana, should've stayed in your head. The second it had left my mouth, I wanted to take it back, it was the worst possible situation ever, he was now staring at me like he was so mad and so hurt at the same time. But being a guy, he wouldn't express anything other than anger, so he just narrowed his eyes, and said, "Well if what's going on in your life isn't my concern than why am I in it? I'm actually in it more than I want to be," Now it was my turn to look mad and hurt, accept being a woman, I can express other emotions such as sadness, so I had almost started to cry when I spoke, again before carefully analyzing the words before they exit my mouth, I said, "Well if you're in my life more than you want to be, you shouldn't be in it at all. See, I knew this would happen, I knew you wouldn't be able to stay with me through this mess, and I knew you would say something that would hurt me so I would tell you to leave, and you'd be off the hook for having any obligation to me or the baby." I was now blinking tears away, they were fighting to fall from my eyes, but I refused to let them.

"I can't believe you would even think that! You know I-," he stopped to sigh, "I need to be away from you right now,"

"Fine," I said. He turned around, and walked down the street, and turned. I assumed he was going to the coffee shop, because that's where he always goes when he's upset. I looked at the ground, and then at the giant ivy wall covering I was standing near, and decided fighting the tears now was useless. So I let them flow. Although they didn't flow a ton, just a few. But this had to be the saddest I had ever been.

(A/N: I'm like Britannia, I like to have my stories at times seem like movies, so if this were a movie, this song, 'How Am I Supposed To Live Without You, by Michael Bolton would be playing, 'cause that's what they're both thinking! lol)

I could hardly believe it, when I heard the news today

I had to come and get it straight from you

They said you were leavin', someone's swept your heart away

From the look upon your face I see it's true

So tell me all about it, tell me 'bout the plans you're makin'

Oh, then tell me one thing more before I go

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you

Now that I've been lovin' you so long

How am I supposed to live without you

And how am I supposed to carry on

When all that I've been livin' for is gone

I'm too proud for cryin', didn't come here to break down

It's just a dream of mine is coming to an end

And how can I blame you when I built my world around

The hope that one day we'd be so much more than friends

I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming, oh

Even now it's more than I can take

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you

Now that I've been lovin' you so long

How am I supposed to live without you

And how am I supposed to carry on

When all that I've been livin' for is gone

No, I don't wanna know the price I'm gonna pay for dreaming

Oh, now that your dream has come true

Tell me how am I supposed to live without you

Now that I've been lovin' you so long

How am I supposed to live without you

And how am I supposed to carry on

When all that I've been livin' for is gone
