Brian followed her for about 10 minutes and she was going fast. They got there and she was going to park her car in the garage. She parked her BMW. She got out and closed the door and got in his Skyline. He smiled and drove away.

"So, where are we going?" Brian asked.

"How about we go to the beach. I know a good spot. I go to it a lot, to clear my head."

Brian nodded and she gave him directions. Brian slowed down as he turned on the street that went by the ocean. He kept going until Bre told him to stop. They gotout and walked down the beach to a pile of big rocks. Bre sat on one and motioned for Brian to sit by her. They sat there a long time before anyone said anything. Brian broke the silence.

"So, why do you come here to clear your mind?"

"I dunno. It's peaceful. Any where else I go I always have people bothering me. You're the only one who knows about this place, well that I know of."

"Well, I feel special." He said and they both laughed.

"I let things get to me and I just can't take it. It seems like every time I turn around there's something happening. We need 2 more mechanics at the garage and it's beginning to be a pain trying to find at least one who's good enough." Bre retorted and looked at the ocean.

"Yeah I know how you feel. I've had a lot happen over the past year and a half." Brian said.

Bre looked at him and wanted to ask what happened but didn't know if she should. She decided to do it.

"What happened?"

"Well, I was an undercover cop in L.A." Brian continued on and Bre tried her best to understand it all.

"And now I've ben on the run from the cops and I figured this was the safest place. I had to give up everything I started to love. It hurt so much to have Mia leave me, but in return I left to protect them. You know when I first met you, your eyes reminded me so much of hers."

Brian looked over at Bre. She had tears in her eyes. He just sat there looking in her eyes. Something about them just made him feel safe and he felt he could trust her. Bre finally spoke,

"I know what it feels like to love someone and then have them walk out on you."

Now, Brian could see it. He could see the hurt in her eyes. She was keeping something locked up inside her. He didn't know why but he just wanted to wash away all the pain she had been through. He was still looking straight in her eyes as he leaned close to her. She felt her heart skip a beat as his lips lightly brushed hers. He traced a finger over her cheek and dried a tear. She put her arms around his neck and they kissed. It was sweet and slow. Bre parted her lips and Brian took the invitation. He slipped his tongue in her mouth. Something inside Bre snapped, memories came flooding back. She pushed Brian away and said,"I'm so sorry!" That's all she said before she started shivering and crying hysterically. Brian was so confused he didn't know what had happened. He tried to pull her to him but she pushed him away again. Everything was happening to fast. All the horrible and painful memories came rushing back to her from years ago.

"Brian." Bre said gasping for air and tried to continue between sobs. "I can't! Not again. Take me home." She tried to stand up. She wobbled a little, but Brian grabbed her arm to steady her. He picked her up, and carried her to his car. She had managed to stop crying and he put her in the car. She buckled herself. Brian got in the drivers side, and headed toward her house. Bre was thinking when Brian interrupted her thoughts.

"I don't know where you live."

Bretried to tell him where she lived. She felt so stupid after what happened at the beach. She was still thinking when she noticed he pulled into her driveway. She turned to him.

"Brian, I'm really sorry about what happened back there."

"Hey, don't worry about it."

"No, I feel really stupid." Bre said.

"Why?"

That was all Brian said and Bre lowered her head. He lifted her chin up and said, "Hey, I know something's up but when you want to tell me you can. I'll be here for you."

As the words came out of his mouth, he saw her eyes light up and the look of pain went away. Bre knew he was different from all the men in her life. He started to kiss her cheek but didn't when she drew back a little.

"I'll call you." Brian said and Bre got out.

She waved and said a very quiet goodbye and he drove away. She went inside and upstairs. She changed into a pair of boxers and t-shirt then got into bed. She couldn't do anything except cry. Finally after two hours of crying she finally let sleep take over her.

Chelsey walked into the house around 1 a.m. She couldn't get a hold of Bre and she was getting worried. She went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge. She jumped when she heard a scream come from upstairs. She knew it was Bre. She ran upstairs. When she got in Bre's room she saw her curled up in a ball on her bed. She was screaming and crying.

"NO! Please don't! Mom, why!' she heard Bre scream.

"Bre!" Chelsey yelled as she tried to wake Bre up. Bre woke upand gasped for air. She clung to Chelsey.

"Shh. It's okay Bre. Was it the same dream?" Chelsey asked.

"Yes! Chelsey, she's here. I know she is!" Bre exclaimed still sobbing.

"Bre, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you." Chelsey reassured her. They both sat there and finally went to sleep.

They both woke up to the sound of Bre's alarm clock. They both just laid there.

"Bre, where did you go last night?" Chel asked.

Bre looked at her and finally spoke,

"I went with Brian."

"Really? What happened." Chesley asked getting some what interested.

'Well, I dropped my car off at the garage. I rode with him and we went somewhere to talk. Oh my gosh Chelsey! He kissed me!" Bre exclaimed.

Chelsey saw Bre's face light up and she smiled.

"But, I stopped him because everything came back. All those memories about my mom and Aaron just suddenly came to me. I just sat there and cried and then he brought me home." Bre said and tears started to form in her eyes.

"Bre, I'm sorry." Chel said and they hugged.

"I didn't tell Brian, but I think I owe him and explanation to why I was being weird."

"Yeah, but let's get up an get ready to go to the garage." Chel replied.

The girls got up and took showers. Chesley got out and heard Bre blow-drying her hair. She pulled on some hip hugger jeans with the knees cut out. She grabbed an orange tank top and put it on. She decided to just blow-dry her hair and put it up and put a little bit of make-up on. Bre had just finished her hair when she heard her cell phone rang.

"Hello."

"Hey Girlie!" Suki replied.

"What's up Suki?"

"Not much. I was just wonderin if you wanted to come by and check out my designs."

"Yeah! I'll be there in a lil while after I go to the garage." Bre exclaimed.

"Alrighty. Buh byes."

"Byes!" Bre replied and hung up.
