"no bren its not that…"Kelly said "ok ok Dylan you may go with bren…" Kelly said who sound defeated
"no I don't want to..im ok.. and thanks for the time Kel… get well soon I'll call you later.." she turned around to leave
"wait there bren..i'll go with you…" Erica said
"no Erica do your home works and I'll pick you up later…do not argue with me missy…" Brenda said leaving Erica no choice, she glance at Dylan first the she continue walking out
Dylan sighs then followed Brenda "bren.." he called out
"what?"
"are you mad?"
"me? No…Its just that…its nothing forget about it…go to Kelly she needs you…" she wanted to say to Dylan that she needs him too, and that she feels so alone but she didn't
"I'm sorry bren, I know I promise you and Bane but…"
"yeah I know…its ok.."
"I'll take you home…"
"no I'll get a cab…I'm ok..go back to Kelly.." with that she continue to walk away Dylan stood there watching her leave. He went back inside their room, he felt useless, he knew Brenda needed him too, she's crying because of Bane, and she probably felt alone now.
"hey…sorry…I acted like that earlier…I'm really ok with you going with Brenda…really…you can go now…" Kelly said
"too late Kel… Brenda wouldn't want me to go with her either…" Dylan said coldly
"you better rest now…I'll be here…"
Erica went to her room and do her homework and started to pack for her overnight with Brenda and Val.
Meanwhile Brenda went to a cab and decided to go back to casa Walsh to get the songs that Hannah will be singing for their wedding. She took a quick shower because she look like she's been crying for years, she went downstairs grab her keys and headed out. She first went to see Hannah.
"hey aunt Brenda…" Hannah greeted her as she opened the door
"hi there Hannah…can I come in?"
"yeah sure…sorry…come in…" Hannah said stepping aside to give way to Brenda.
"do you want something to drink aunt Brenda?"
"no honey I'm ok… "
"mom's till at the hospital.."
"I know, I just want to give you this.." she handed Hannah the envelop
Hannah opened the envelop "those are the songs I want you to sing on our wedding.." Brenda said
"OMG I have exactly same song in my mind auntie…I always wanted to sing these songs on wedding…its perfect.." Hannah said "but why are there four songs?"
"the last two songs were for reception…"
"ok..i promise I'll practice hard aunt Brenda…I want it to be perfect for you…"
"awww honey…you don't have to practice so hard…you're talented and talent always prevails remember that…" Brenda's cell is ringing since she got there but she didn't want to answer it, she knew it was Dylan checking on her.
"aunt Brenda your phone is ringing…" Hannah said as she notices Brenda's neglecting the calls.
"its ok..its nobody important… hey I have to go now…I have to pick the invitations now…say hi to your mom for me…and I'll be back…I want to visit grandma rose too… maybe on weekend so you could join me,…"
"that'll be great! Just tell me when I'll be there…"
"ok..see yah round pumpkin.." she kissed Hannah
"bye take care…"
"bye!"
When she got to her car she decided to check her cell phone, she got 8 missed calls all from Dylan or Erica. Before she put her phone back at her bag it rang again, it was Dylan, she reluctantly answer it
"hello?"
"finally bren..ive been calling you.."
"I know…"
"so you just chose not to answer it?"
"yeah… what do you want?"
"hey bren, are you ok? Where are you? Kelly is better now and she wanted me to go with you, where are you?"
"I'm out…and I'm heading to Mike's shop to pick up the invitations.."
"no wait for me Brenda and I mean it…tell me where are you?"
"right in front of Andrea's place.."
"I see, drive to the pit and I'll see you there…no buts Brenda..i promise Bane…"
"yeah right…"
"stop that Brenda…"
"stop what?"
"I know you're mad at me…I know you feel alone right now…but that's not true…it just so happen that Kelly didn't feel well earlier but everythings fine now…ok? Now go to the pit I'll be there in a few.."
"whatever…" Brenda hang up
After almost 30 minutes Brenda arrived at the peach pit "hi Nat…" she tried to sound as cheerful as she can
"hey my Laverne.." Nat said "what can I do for you?"
"hmmm soda will be good…I'm thirsty…"
"one soda coming up…" Nat said
Dylan came from the office and saw Brenda at the bar, she look like she's still crying. "hey…" he greeted
Brenda didn't respond she just look at Dylan and nod and then Nat place her order in front of her "here you go Brenda.."
"thanks Nat…" she was about to pay but Dylan gave Nat the money first "on me…" he said looking at Brenda
"Brenda talk to me.." Dylan said
"come on we have to go now.."
"wait I'm driving… give me your keys.."
Before she could say anything Dylan grab the key from her hand and lead her out.
"are you gonna stay quiet forever Brenda?" dylan asked while driving "what did I do bren? I'm sorry…"
"not your fault…just ignore me… I just miss Bane…if only he's here.."
"you wouldn't be alone?"
Brenda nodded "I'm sorry Dylan..sorry for acting like a brat..im just so used to having Bane in my side…and its so hard now that he's miles away from me…"
"its ok Brenda..you know id do anything for you…and I can never get mad at you too…"
"what about Kelly?"
"she said she's sorry… she just didn't feel so well before..but she knew you needed me… and she understand…"
"ok… but I have to apologize to her too…"
"nah its ok… bren.. and don't you ever think that you're alone here ok? You have the whole gang or at least me and Erica and Val…"
"I know.." she saw the shop "that's it…park somewhere here.."
Dylan parked the car and went down to go to the shop.
"Brenda!" Mike greeted, he again look at Brenda with desire..he was about to give Brenda a 'friendly hug'
Dylan saw that look and take Brenda hand and move a little in front her"hi I'm Dylan, Brenda's bestfriend.."
Disappointed with Dylan's movement, Mike shook his hand instead of hugging Brenda. "nice to meet you…"
"where are the invitations?" Dylan asked, he was so protective of Brenda, he didn't even let her speak to mike.
"yeah…here…" he handed Dylan the box "everythings is there, we made 5 extra copies in case you need more.." mike said still trying to get close to Brenda or at least have an eye contact with her
"thank you" Brenda said without looking at him
"you ok?" Mike said worriedly
"yeah she's fine… don't worry.." Dylan answered for her
"I'm ok mike… thanks…" Brenda said finally looking at him
"are you sure?" mike asked again. Dylan rolls his eyes, the girls were right about this jerk
"yeah…look we better get going…" Brenda said
"sure…take care of yourself Brenda…" mike said as he touch Brenda's left arm sweetly
"she will…don't worry…" Dylan said pulling Brenda away
Brenda glared at Dylan then turn to Mike "bye mike..see yah around and call me whenever you have news about the preparation…"
"I will..now go… and I suggest you get some rest now…you look like you could use a bed now…" Mike said
"hmmm…I think I will…thanks.."
"bye!" all of them said
"now I know why Bane was so worried.." Dylan said as they walk towards the car
"shut up mckay…I'm just being nice.."
"you are…but I don't think his just being nice to you…"
"I'm getting married mckay…"
"he knows that but obviously he didn't care…"
"lets drop this Dylan…" Brenda said getting irritated
"fine… now you have to drop me first at the house…then you'll have dinner there, Val will not be home till 8…so you'll stay with us till 8 too…"
"what if I don't like?" Brenda said getting in the car
"then you'll have to like it…end of discussion.." with that Dylan sped off..
