Quite the Conversation

The five of us piled into Peder's Land Rover. Colleen said we had an hour-long ride. It was Matt, Tim, and I squished in the back seat. Matt had his PSP and sat in the middle of the two of us thankfully.

" So how was Brydon yesterday?" Tim asked. I looked out the window. It was 8 in the morning so the sun was up but it was behind thick clouds. I didn't say anything to him. " Oh come on I thought we worked this out." I really didn't want to talk to Tim now I was going to have to.

" We had a good time relearning things about each other." I said.

" Cool." Is all he said then stayed quiet.

" I'm going to sound like a five year old but, how much longer?" I asked to break the long silence.

" 15 more minutes." Colleen said.

" So what did you guys talk about?" Is he still on that? Wow Brydon must really bother him. If only he knew how much better Brydon was at kissing then he is.

" We talked about what he was like when he was a human." I said. Colleen laughed. " What's so funny?" I asked.

" Tanya was always saying how odd he was when he was human."

" Well you would think he would be odd coming from a family that he does, well lack of a family really." Peder said.

" Yes that Brydon Kelly is one odd kid." Colleen said.

" Brydon Kelly?" I asked. Were did she get the Kelly from?

" That was his original name. He really is a sweet boy. He works hard when he wants to and will fight till the death for someone he loves." Colleen said and looked at me in the rear view mirror.

" You guys were gone for a long time yesterday." Tim said.

" Well we had a lot to talk about." I said.

" I would be surprised if you guys talked at all." Matt said surprising me that he was paying attention to anything that we were saying. I elbowed him in the side.

" I don't like him." Tim said grimly.

" I wasn't expecting you to." I said

" I don't want him around." Tim said looking at me

I turned to face him. I looked him straight in the eyes. " Well to fuckin' bad." I spat.

" Ember watch your mouth." Peder scolded.

" Sorry." I turned back to the window.

" I don't want him around anymore." Tim repeated.

" I understood you the first time Tim and I could care less."

" What?" Tim asked dumbfounded.

" You know what I said! I could care less what you think about Brydon. You have made your point very clear that you don't like him and I don't care."

The car was quite for the rest of the ride. No one said anything, which was fine by me. I was hard to block out their thoughts but I managed. Peder drove down a dirt road and parked the car.

" Tim come with me. Ember go with Colleen and Matt when you get back to the car just relax." Peder said and we all got out.

We broke off into our groups and went our separate ways. I could smell something that smelt like stale salt and vinegar chips. The smell made my stomach flip unpleasantly.

" That was quite the conversation back there." Colleen said once we were alone.

" I was just being honest. I really don't care if Tim likes Brydon. Tim doesn't really care about me so why should I care if he likes Brydon or not."

" Why do you think he doesn't care about you?" Colleen asked.

" Lets just say that he is not the best at blocking his mind."

" Oh. I'm sorry sweetie."

" No it's really okay. I don't love him. I love Brydon. Wait. What? Did I really just say that?"

" Yes you did. It's okay too. Tanya said he loves you too." Colleen had a huge smile on her face.

" She said that before we got into all of thoughts fights too. I'll just have to se for myself." I said.
