Chapter 4
K.P.O.V
So Brandon and I just finished our laughter right when my pone rang. I just looked down to see who it was and noticed that it was a number that I didn't know. So I just ignored the first ring and then Brandon looked at me in a questioning way.
"Your not going to see who it is?"
"Well, if you want me to ruin our first date, then sure. I will see who it is." I said as I hit the talk button. "Hello?"
"Hey what up? Kaite, do you want to go out with me?"
"Who the heck is this? Do I know you? And no, I don't want to go out with you."
"Your sure? Because all the girls have a crush on me. But I've only been wanting to go out with you. Oh, and I'm pretty sure you know who this is now."
"Evan? Is this? You can't..." I never finished my sentence because I was so shocked that Evan got my number. "How did. You my. Phone. How?" I tried to make a sentence but ended up making weird sounding sentence.
"Yep. Oh, and I got it by asking one of your friends. They almost fainted when I talked to them. So, do you want to go out or not?"
"Wait, can't we just go as friends? Just like, to make it less awkward. You know. Hey, I'm at the park with someone right now and they really look strained watching/listening me talk to you," I said glancing at Brandon with hearts in my eyes. "Look Casandra, I have no idea why your calling from your guy friends phone, buy can't we just meat at Dairy Queen at 1:00 p.m tomorrow? Thanks bye!"
"Wait! Why'd you say Casandra, and say I'm a girl?"
"Can't talk, I'll tell you later. Like I said bye!"
I shut the phone closed and started hyperventilating. My vision was getting all hazy and it was getting harder to breath. But I managed to tell Brandon one thing. "Brandon, please (pant pant) get me some (pant pant) water now please." While Brandon was getting the water I was thinking 'Why did Evan want to go out with me? How did he get my friend to spill the information? He must be joking. I have to call him back!' Before I knew it Brandon was back with a plastic water bottle and was holding me up so I was able to sit while drink the water.
"Kaite. What's wrong? Who was it? If it was a guy that was threatening you then I won't let that person ever get a hold of you again."
"Brandon," I gasped out as I just finished drinking my fill, "That was Evan. And I don't know how he made my friends spill out my information about my phone number and all though. Please be hiding somewhere by Dairy Queen tomorrow. I don't know what he's going to do and all, but seriously. We both know about the things that he's done. I don't want me being just another name on that list. Please. Please will you come and if he tries something just jump out. Please," I finished the sentence crying tears of fear.
"I will be there. I'll be ready for anything that he tries to pull on you. Don't worry, it'll be okay. Don't worry Rose. I'll be hear for anything," he said cradling me in his arms as I cried out my frustration, worry, fear, and all the reast of feelings that I've been holding sense the first week of fifth grade. I just cried until there was nothing left to cry out. Then I leaned back into him and closed my eyes. I reopened them when I felt Brandon moving me. I found my self staring at the sky blue sky. I looked over at Brandon and smiled sadly. And he just grinned back at me in the same sad sort of way. I couldn't stand seeing him look so sad so I thought of something to say that would cheer him up.
"Brandon? I was just thinking. What time is it? Because I'm wondering if we should get home. You know, and have our parents ask us how the park was and what are "friends" were talking about this time?" That got him to actually grin at me in a happy way. And I smiled like a pro.
"Don't worry Raindrop. We'll get home soon enough, but it's too soon right now." He said and then pulled me into his lap and laid us back down. And we just stayed like that for a while. Me just laying on top of him and his arms wrapped around me protectively.
I felt my phone buzz and rolled off Brandon to check my text. Just so he didn't feel left out I read it out loud. "Raindrop? Really? Anyway, time 2 get home. Your mom called us 2 see if we wanted rides home." Then I really said to Brandon, "Well, I guess it really is time to get home now. Even though it only seems it has been a minute."
