Chapter 14 Times are a Changing
"Hey man, I am going to your house, want a ride?" Dylan said taking the last sip of coffee.
"Nah I got my own car but I am going to head there too." David said throwing a twenty on the table. "It's on me, thanks for the advice."
Dylan shrugged, "Cool…thanks."
Brandon came in and noticed the guys at the counter. "Sup budddddies."
"Hey B, where you coming from?" Dylan gave Brandon a handshake.
"Home actually, but I am glad you guys are here, I talked to Kelly and they want to have a bonfire campout on the beach. Brenda wanted me to tell you to grab sleeping bags and get her some warm clothes."
"Yes Ma'am, its starting already." Dylan said giving Brandon a nod and a smile.
David sighed loudly, "Is Valerie going to be there?"
Dylan shook his head with a smile and looked down. "Yeah I think so, why?" Brandon said curiously.
"Just wondering, alright later, see ya in a bit I guess." David stuck his hand in his pocket and walked out of the Peach pit.
"What's with him?" Brandon said motioning to him with his head.
"Sex troubles…or…lack there of." Dylan said with a mocking smile.
"Really? Catching up with our young David huh?"
"Yep, he came to me for advice." Dylan shrugged, "What the hell was I suppose to tell him."
"No idea man." Brandon shook his head.
"Alright well I guess I am going to my house and getting clothes."
"Yep, I guess you are. Just wait until she starts waking you up asking for food runs." Brandon shrugged, "At least that's what I hear."
Dylan let out a laugh as he went in for another handshake this time ending with a snap, "Later."

"Brenda, don't lift that." Kelly snapped.
"Kel, please, its three chairs." Brenda smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Well…you can never be too careful." Kelly took them from her, dropping them to the ground and spreading out the blankets.
Both girls sat down as the looked out to the water, "God, I miss this. I love New York so much but there is nothing like the beach." Brenda sighed.
"Yeah…look at this it's the end of November and here we are having a bonfire and camping out."
"It will get cold later though; I hope Dylan gets here soon with my clothes. I don't know how long I can last in jeans and a t-shirt." Brenda rubbed up and down her arms.
"Do you feel ok? I mean like what's it like?"
Brenda shrugged, "Well, I have gained 5 pounds, I'm hungry all the time, I have zero sex drive and I throw up at least twice a week. But hey that's better than everyday like it was in the beginning." Brenda smiled.
"I can't believe how great Dylan is being, I mean, it's a big deal and he seems so calm and well…happy about it."
"I know it's crazy, but at the same time its not. I mean my family and me are the only family Dylan's has, I think us starting a family of our own means something to him. Even though it happened 5 to 7 years sooner than we would have liked." Brenda laughed.
A women who had jogged past them minutes before approached Brenda and Kelly as they were talking, "Hi, my name is Nancy Hamil, I'm sorry to interrupt but I am talent scout and you two would be great in this new magazine that's being put together, totally geared toward young people, high school and college age. Do either of you have any experience in modeling?"
"Well, I do but I haven't modeled since I was a kid." Kelly said shyly.
"No, I have never modeled, but considering in 3 months I will be a cow I think you Kel are on your own." Brenda said looking back as Brandon came walking up.
"Ok." The women said confused at Brenda's comment, "Well here is my card, I would love to get you in for some test shots or something, talk more about the magazine."
Kelly reached and grabbed her card and smiled, "Ok…thanks." Kelly looked down at the card as the women kept on her jog.
"Looks legit, Wait Kel, she is with the Ford Modeling agency."
"Hey beautiful ladies." Brandon came up practically tackling Kelly to her back. He kissed her deeply.
Brenda cleared her throat, looking away from them.
"Oh hey Dylan is waiting for you up at the apartment, he has clothes for you." Brandon said not taking his eyes off Kelly and began kissing her again.
"Thank you Dylan for the save. I'll be back." Brenda got up and walked the short walk from the fire pit to the boardwalk.
Brenda opened up the back door to the beach apartment and saw Dylan, "Nice what did you bring me?" she smiled and walked in and looked through the bag.
Dylan shrugged, "I brought you sweats and a sweatshirt, I don't know whatever I could find."
"Thanks. You did good." Brenda leaned in and gently gave Dylan a kiss.
"Mmmm." Dylan groaned, "We are alone and it's been a while." Dylan wrapped his arms around her waist tightly looking from side to side.
"Dylan." Brenda brushed him off.
"Bren, don't make me beg." Dylan leaned down kissing her neck.
Brenda closed her eyes as his kisses sent chills down her spine giving her goose bumps all over her body. Why was it that she had zero sex drive since finding out she was pregnant but at this moment she found herself in the mood, his touch, his kisses made her stomach flip. It was like her senses were heightened and every touch sent her into overdrive. As the thoughts went through Brenda's head she hadn't realized she had been kissing back rather aggressively and her and Dylan were in a full blown make out session that would have gone farther until the back door swung open and in walked no other than Steve and David.
"This wouldn't be a trip home if I didn't get to walk in on Dylan and Brenda." Steve smirked as Dylan and Brenda jumped apart. "Sadly we should have waited another 5 minutes."
"Ha Ha very funny." Brenda said smacking Dylan's hand down that was still placed up her t-shirt.
David took a deep breath, "Oh my God, its everywhere, I can't get away."
"I'm going to go change." Brenda said uncomfortably pointing to the bedrooms.
Dylan sighed loudly as he watched her grab her stuff and head down the halls.
"That's how you got in trouble in the first place buddy." Steve patted Dylan on the back as he made his way into the kitchen looking through drawers. "Where the hell are the matches?"
Dylan looked at David, "You alright man?"
David nodded his head slowly, "I don't know what to do."
"Silver, I told you, you have to respect Donna's wishes, if she wants to wait you need to figure out if you're willing to too." Dylan said nicely.
"Move on, Dave, if she won't put out, find someone who will." Steve said concentrating on finding the matches.
Dylan rolled his eyes, "Don't listen to Steve, man, you love Donna."
"Yeah that may be true but it's a man thing, move on, and maybe she will realize she is missing out on you if she sticks to waiting."
"Steve." Dylan shook his head.
"No actually Steve has a point, I have been patient and loyal, I haven't cheated on her for the most part. He is right."
Steve smiled holding up a box of matches, "Of course I am right."
Dylan shrugged and looked at David, "You do what you got to do."
Brenda walked out changed and ready to head down to the beach. "Ready?"
Dylan looked her up and down; even in sweats she looked sexy. "Absolutely."
Donna walked into her house tossing her keys on the shelf, as she looked up she made eye contact with David, "Hey." She said quietly.
"Hey." David said quietly back.
Steve, Dylan and Brenda looked at each other, "Well we should go." Brenda grabbed Dylan's hand and motioned to Steve and all three of them headed down to the beach.
"Are you going down to the beach?" David asked shyly.
"Not now, I have to go meet my mom and dad for dinner, they asked me at breakfast, one of my families close friends are in town but I will probably go down there later, you?"
"Uh yeah, I am just going to grab a sleeping bag and head on down." David swallowed hard.
"Can we talk?" Donna said sadly.
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea." David sighed as they both moved to the couch.
"David…Donna." They said at the same time. "Go ahead." David said looking at his hands.
"Look David, I know we are going through some stuff right now and I do appreciate your honesty, but I love you and I think it will be ok."
David looked down again, "Donna I can't…"
"You can't what?" Donna moved closer to him.
David sighed, "I can't go on like this anymore." David looked up and met her eyes, "I love you…but."
"David, what are you saying?" Donna looked at him with her sweet big brown eyes and he almost felt his heart stop beating.
David swallowed hard, "It's our relationship, it isn't working for me, especially the sex part." He waited for a reaction.
Donna started to cry and she brought her arms up crossing them putting her head to the ground. David went to comfort her but she pushed him away, "Get away from me." She sobbed.
"Donna… Please." David tried to pull her back.
"Just go." Donna said crying bringing her hands up to her face.
David looked at her and took a deep breath; he stood up looking down at her. He was about to say something else but stopped himself as he slowly moved toward the door closing it behind him.
David walked toward the beach, it was starting to get dark and he could see the glow of the bonfire the gang had already started.
"Hey Silver." Brandon said wrapping his arms around Kelly who was sitting in between his legs in front of him.
"Yeah…hey." David plopped down on the sand and looked out into the water as he felt Valerie sit next to him.
"You ok?" she leaned in so he looked up at her.
"Yeah, I broke up with Donna. I know it's the right thing to do but I feel bad." David said bringing his knees up and wrapping his arms around them.
"Sorry…break ups suck. If you need anyone to talk to you know where to find me." Valerie said looking in his eyes.
David nodded, "Thanks." He gave her a weak smile as the sparks flew once again between them.
Brenda sat cuddling close to Dylan as she began glancing over at David and Valerie. "Hey David, is Donna coming down?"
"No…she is going to meet her parents." He broke his stare with Valerie.
"Did you talk to David?" Brenda whispered to Dylan.
"Yeah I did." He said slowly not sure how much he should actually say.
"And?" Brenda eyes grew big.
"And…I told him to respect Donna's wishes."
"Does he? Is he going to break up with her?"
"Bren, I don't know, it's none of our business." Dylan ignored the question.
"Well I know but Donna is my friend, I feel bad." Brenda said not dropping it.
"Bren, put it this way, maybe it isn't the right time for Donna and David." Brenda looked over at David and Valerie sitting close together talking.
"Yeah…maybe." Brenda sighed. She thought of Donna and the fact that this whole thing was killing her. She was in love with David and they had been together for almost two years. She saw both sides, how frustrating it must be for David too. She kind of wished she wasn't leaving in a day but then again maybe it was better. Away from the drama, she did have her own issues and changes to deal with. Brenda cuddled closer as she felt Dylan's hand rubbing her belly.
