After three weeks
Ralph and Brenda got so close, but Brenda told Ralph that she wasn't ready for a new relationship and he accepted it and told her that he's willing to wait forever for her. Ralph became her daily ride home. He asked her out twice, they watched movies and ate dinner out. They hang out at the peach pit too. Ralph waited for Brenda when she's working as a student assistant. They practically inseparable.
Kelly and Dylan broke up, they agreed that it's not working for any of them. The gang were starting to loosen up a bit towards them. But it'll never be the same.
Brenda went to get her notebook at her locker, she saw Dylan there. "Hi" she said opening her locker
"hi there bren.." he replied "can I talk to you for a sec?"
"I can't I have class, I just forgot this..." she said showing him her notebook.
"Give me a minute or two Bren… just wanna tell you this..." Dylan said almost begging
"ok..shoot.." Brenda said
"I just wanna tell you I'm sorry for everything and I want you to read this" he handed her a letter "that's it… now you can go"
Brenda tried not to show any emotions, she didn't want Dylan back but he deserved a chance to explain himself. She nodded to Dylan and went back to her room.
As usual, Ralph took her home. As soon as she finished her home works, she lay at her bed and thinking about the letter, she didn't know if she wanted to read it or what. She then close her eyes and sighs, she pulled the letter out of her bag, and started to read it.
Brenda,
I don't know why I did what I did bren and I can't changed what happened, I just wanna say I'm deeply sorry and I still love you and that I will never stop loving you…I hope we could really talk about what happened, I need you to hear my side, please call me if you want us to talk.. I'll be waiting… I missed you so much Bren… I love you!!
Dylan
"What the hell does he want now…?" Brenda said to herself
She thought about it all through the night and she fell asleep still thinking about what to do with Dylan. She knew that Dylan has his reasons and she understand him but what she didn't understand is why did they lied to her, and make her believed that everything is ok. She could've understood if Dylan fell out of love with her, then they will break up with no bitterness at all. But they lied to them, her boyfriend and her bestfriend!! When she woke up the next morning, she thought of Dylan's letter. She's still undecided, but somehow she knew that sooner or later Dylan and she will have to talk.
She went down to see her family having breakfast, "hey there…morning…" she greeted them
"Morning honey…" Jim said
"So my beautiful sister it's our birthday next weekend!! And were turning 18!! Aren't you excited?" Brandon asked
"Maybe… maybe not…" Brenda asked
"You'll have a party Bren... Invite your friends…" Cyndi said
"Well, we do have same set of friends… but I might invite a few more…" Brenda said
"Yeah that Ralph guy and his friends…" Brandon said
"Who's Ralph?" Jim asked
"No one, just a guy from school… we've been hanging out…" Brenda said
Cyndi looked at Jim with a don't-start-Jim look. Jim sighs "well it's your party, you can invite anybody…"
"Thanks dad… mom…" Brenda said suddenly a car honks outside Brenda knew it was Ralph "that's my ride… bye guys see later…" then she heads outside.
"So tell me about this Ralph guy Brandon." Jim said
"Dad, it's none of our business… Brenda is a big girl now." Brandon said defending his twin sister
"Old mans prerogative Brandon…" Jim said
"yeah I know dad… but we have to trust Brenda too… you saw what happened to her… and I know that you knew that were all part of the what she has to went through… and I cannot… no I wont wanna see her going through the same thing with Dylan dad… I knew she's happy now… and she can take care of herself dad…" Brandon said "I have to go too… see yah later… think about that dad…let her be happy…" then he headed out
"He's right Jim… you know he's right…" Cyndi said
West Beverly High
It was their lunch break and Kelly and Donna were talking to each other again, they were at the locker when Brenda came in.
"Hey guys… "she greeted
"Hi!" Donna and Kelly both said
"Listen Brandon and I were having a party next weekend end… I want you guys to be there…" Brenda said
"Oh god Brenda it's your 18th birthday… how could I forgot that…sure I'll be there…" Donna said
"Me too." Kelly said almost whispering
Brenda just looks at her and nodded, Ralph came in and said "hey pretty… wanna have lunch now…"
"eww.." Donna teased them, Brenda glared at her and then turned to Ralph "yeah but I was thinking if you could join us at our table… we haven't have lunch with them…"
"Sure anything you want pretty…" Ralph teased Brenda seeing her reaction when Donna teases them before
She playfully hits his chest then all four of them headed to their table, everybody is there waiting for them. "Finally bren… were starving!!" Steve said
"Sorry Steve… c'mon let's eat…" Brenda said "oh Ralph will join us from now on... if its ok with you guys…" she said when she noticed the guys were eyeing Ralph
"Of course it is… just make sure you're not late next time…" David said jokingly
"Promise.." Ralph said
"So guys, Brenda and I were having our party next weekend… "Brandon said
"And were invited?" Steve asked sarcastically
"No Steve… I just wanna let you know…" Brandon answered sarcastically too
"Of course you're all invited guys… and beside Brandon and I have the same group of friends… so you're our only guests..." Ralph clears his throat "and of course you too were invited… tell the boys to come too…" she said
Dylan couldn't stand watching them that close he finished his lunch and excused himself "I have to go guys… I have something to do before the bell rings… I'll see you later…" he didn't let them say a word, he turned his back and walks towards the building.
Brenda knew why he walked away but she wouldn't do anything about it, she didn't want Dylan back… at least not now, she's still healing. Kelly looked at Brenda she didn't know what happened but she knew it has something to do with Brenda. But Brenda acted like she didn't mind Dylan.
"Hey Bren I was thinking if we could go out later… since its Friday we don't have school tomorrow…" Ralph said
Brenda looks at Brandon "what? I'm cool with it… go out..." he said
"Ok.. I'm pretty bored being at home…" Brenda said
"You guys can come with us… we could all watch a movie and have dinner at the peach pit…" Ralph said "and it's my treat… just a thank you for letting me join you here at your table…"
"Ok.. Its not like we have plans later…" Donna said
The others nodded in agreement. "So it's a date!!... I mean a group date later, we meet later around 6? At the movie house…" Brenda said
"That's a date.. Should we tell Dylan?" Brandon asked they all looked at Brenda who look at Ralph "I'm ok with it Bren… you know that."
"sure… wait I'll tell him myself later we have the same class after lunch break" as if on cue the bell rang "which is now… see yeah guys later.."
They all headed to their rooms. Brenda went to her class, their teacher wasn't around yet, she saw Dylan sitting at the back of the room, she sit beside him. Dylan was surprised and could speak for a moment. "before you think of anything, I just wanna let you know that the gang will go out later, Ralph invited you all to watch a movie and have dinner at the peach pit… were all going… so are you coming?" Brenda asked
"Sure.. You're there… so I have to be there…." Dylan said
"Dylan!!" Brenda said in a warning tone "stop acting like you still want me back… or that you still love me.. because you wouldn't lie to me if you loved me…so please if you wanna still be friends with me, better start accepting that were over.. I'm starting to completely heal Dylan… please don't make it any harder for me…"
"I'm sorry Bren, but please forgive me… I couldn't stand knowing that you hate me.. I'm sorry Bren… I'm sorry for everything…"
"We'll get there McKay. Sooner or later I'll forgive you completely… just not now ok?"
Dylan laughs a little "what's so funny?"
"You called me McKay… I missed that…"
Brenda rolled her eyes and sighs, then their teacher came in. they didn't have the chance to continue their talk. Brenda smiled at her thoughts, she realized that she still love Dylan but she didn't want him back, he's the closest friend she got, well aside from Brandon and Donna. He knew her too well, and she couldn't hide anything from him. She decided to slowly bring back their relationship… at least as bestfriends, same with Kelly. She knew in her heart that she could completely heal and be able to forgive them in time.
After their classes the gang went home to change and get ready for their night out.
