Chapter 5
K.P.O.V
My mom finally came to the park to pick us up an hour late. Brandon stayed with us the whole time. He said he was going to protect us all when we all know that he was their just because of me. He stood behind me the whole time wrapping his arms around my stomach.
Mom rolled up next to us and opened the window. "Kaite, what is Brandon doing here?"
"Well, you see. I invited him because he looked lonely. So, he came with us. Can he eat dinner with us tonight. His family isn't doing anything tonight?" then I looked at Brandon using my eyes to speak to him. I asked him if it was alright with him, and if he family wouldn't mind.
"Let me just check with them again. Hold on a sec, it won't take longer than a dingo running to the park and back," he said as he started pulling his phone out. Then he walked a good distance away and then started talking to his mom.
While he did that my friends and I started giggling. My mom looked at us, but ignored us. When Brandon came back we were still giggling like little girls. Because, really. We were still little girls in a way.
"My, mom said it was alright with her if Mrs. Heart doesn't mind," he said giving a glance that shushed my friends and I right up. We were so quiet that Brandon couldn't take it anymore. "Okay, what's up? First your girls are giggling like little girls when I come back and now your as sullen as an agree dingo."
With that all my friends started cracking up. We were out of control. I was still laughing when I took my boyfriend's arm and pulled him away. When we got a good few feet away were I could tell him secretly.
"So, my friends and I have this little joke. And how you've been crazy about elephants and all the other Savana dessert. So, well. When your made the dingo comment, well. It's so darn funny. That you made a comment like that. So, the joke goes like this. 'Brandon, fandon. Hanging on a vandon. He falls off and lands on a elephantdon.' I know it doesn't make much sense. But to us it's like so halarius. I mean, when ever you make a comment you use similies like that, and we just crack up. But if you don't like it, I'll stop. We made this joke up last year, when we didn't really know you," I ended the sentence in tears, because right now I felt like I just let Brandon down. That I failed him, that he was going to break up with me. I couldn't even look at him right then.
"Look at me," he says in a voice smooth as silk as he raised my head up with his finger. I jerk my head away and cross my arms over my chest. "Look, that is a silly little girls joke. But I'm not offended. You were just being foolish with your friends. It's fine. You can still laugh with your friends. Heck, I'll even join in! Please, stop crying. It's fine, really. Please," he said while pulling me in for a hug. I pull back for one reason, I mean I really want to stay huddled in his arms but I couldn't. Not when my mom was right there. I look at him with a pointed stare and then he nodded his head. Then we were both really ready to go to my house.
We were at the last drop off that night because my mom drove home all my friends. I was in the back seat, Brandon was in the front. But as Aslin was getting out he switched to the back seat sitting with me. I leaned my head against him and fell asleep.
In my dream I opened my eyes to find that I was staring at a land scape were the land was all strewn. All the houses were scattered like a giant bear blundered through town and just didn't watch were they were stepping. Then I got this panicky feeling and then hot tears flowed down my dove soft skin. And then I knew that this was my neighborhood. Everything was scattered, and with a closer look I noticed that all the houses were covered with ashes.
I awoke to feeling the couch under me. Then I remembered what I just saw and bolted right up and sprinted to the door. Smashed through the door, and then my vision became blurry as I sprinted to Brandon's house. Through my flurry of getting to Brandon's house I made out foot steps behind me. I stumbled and tumbled to the ground in a mess. I scratched my knees, but I jolted up and then started to limp to my destination. A volt of pain was shot through both legs as I stepped on the leg. Finally the pain got so big that I just fell to the concrete as a rag doll. Before I could reached the ground I felt firm hands supported me down more carefully than I would have from just dropping onto it.
"You okay, are you okay?" said a guys voice.
"Uh, yeah. I was just going to Brandon's house," I answered with my vision hazed by tears. "Do I know you?" I asked secondly.
"Yeah, I'm the one who called you earlier today."
"No," I said franticly searching my mind to see if anyone called. Then it hit me, I didn't know if someone called me today! "No one called me today," just as I said that Evan reached into my back pocket. Just as Brandon called out.
"Evan! Get away from my girl!"
"Brandon," I shouted as I shot right up and bolted to him with my arms out. "He was doing nothing. He just saved me from being knocked out I think. Right Evan?" I concluded while looking back at him. And I saw him messing with my phone. Instead of saying anything I tried to walk to him. But right then my legs felt like jelly, so instead I just knelt down onto a persons yard.
"Give me her phone. And what are you doing here? Your house isn't anywhere near here!" he said in a really pissed off voice.
"Kay, I was just shutting it off. Here you go. And, if you haven't noticed, but I just saved your best friend. See ya Kaite!" he called back as he started walking towards a black hummer. Wow! A hummer. But before Evan made it to the car he was shoved onto the street by Brandon as a car was rushing by. As if that instant, my legs decided to work, so I rushed into the street and pulled Evan aside. He just missed the car, me. Well I don't know because I suddenly collapsed and then everything went black.
