Don't Get Me Wrong Chapter 19

Ashley smiled as she watched Brody and Spencer talk over a beer on her decking. Spencer had managed to get Brody over there without giving too much away. Ashley hadn't told Spencer about her little chat with Bella just in case she didn't show up. Ashley headed over to the two friends and pressed the heater button as it was beyond cold outside plus it meant that she could kiss Spencer.

"You two are vomit worthy" Brody gagged as she averted her gaze from the couple.

"We really are" Spencer agreed laughing at her friend's expression.

"So Ashley I totally dig the new crib. It puts our lame chalet to shame"

"You're chalet had its plus side" Ashley mused as she scanned her eyes over Spencer. Ashley quickly looked at her phone checking the time for what seemed like the millionth time since Spencer and Brody had arrived.

"Waiting for a call from your secret girlfriend?" Spencer questioned with an amused smile.

"Nope just checking the time. Megan knows not to call until after you've left" Ashley teased back causing Spencer to feign sadness. As if by fate Ashley heard the doorbell chime and she quickly made her way to the front door where a very nervous looking Bella was waiting.

"You came?" Ashley gasped as she ushered Bella inside hoping that the other two would stay outside for now.

"You're a smart one Ashley" Bella snapped immediately looking regretful.

"Did you break up with him?"

"Yep just after he proposed…it was horrible and heart breaking" Bella explained which made sense when Ashley scanned over the taller girls tired features and red eyes.

"He proposed?"

"Yep that was why he came out here. He had been given permission by parents and everything. They have never even asked me if I wanted to ever get married before. They had no right to give Jacob permission" Bella ranted showing a stronger side.

"How did he take it?"

"Not great but it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be" Bella admitted sighing with relief.

"You ready for this?" Ashley quizzed wondering if maybe this was all going to be too much for Bella for one night. Bella simply nodded so Ashley instructed her to wait where she was and she went to get Spencer who followed Ashley looking more than confused and then her eyes landed on Bella.

"What are you doing here?" Spencer snapped not meaning to sound short but Bella had hurt her best friend so she was feeling slightly protective.

"I'll explain to you on our way" Ashley interrupted.

"On our way where?" Spencer quizzed still looking confused.

"Carlin just get your coat and shoes on and stop asking questions" Ashley demanded as she grabbed Spencer's hand. She gave Bella a good luck nod and the new couple left the chalet.

Bella swallowed hard knowing that the conversation she was about to have would be a life changing one. She was still unsure of what she wanted to say or do but the one thing that she did know was that she wanted Brody in some way. Shaking all negatives thoughts from her head Bella headed towards the decking and her eyes met with Brody straight away. Brody looked completely baffled and they both stood there in complete silence for a few seconds.

"What are you doing here?" Brody finally croaked.

"I came to see you" Bella replied shakily.

"Well here I am" Brody deadpanned as she took her seat. Bella apprehensively took a seat opposite Brody and once again they just stayed there in silence for a while.

"How did you know where I was?" Brody asked sounding braver than she felt.

"Ashley….erm she kind of had a talk with me earlier and told me to come here if I wanted to try with you" Bella confessed still sounding shaky and unsure.

"Brody I know that I have messed you around and I have hurt you but you need to know that I didn't mean to. Me and you was never supposed to happen but it did and at first I just thought we were having a bit of fun but when one night stands turned into sleep overs I realised that it was something more. I looked forward to the next time I got to see you and I know you felt the same way too no matter how much you tried to act aloof and casual"

"You have boyfriend Bella so none of this is relevant"

"He proposed to me tonight" Bella mumbled catching herself off guard.

"Well congratulations and thanks for sharing" Brody replied her voice sounding hurt and tears forming in her eyes.

"I said no"

"Huh?"

"I told him that I didn't want to marry him because I didn't love him, I don't think I ever did. I think I loved the idea of loving him because that was what was expected of me for as long as I can remember. Brody I am sick of doing things to make everybody else happy and that's how I have been living my life so far"

"Glad I could help you on your journey" Brody interrupted no longer making eye contact with Bella.

"Damn it would you just listen to me!I want you Brody. It's that simple. I want you and I want us. I have never been so sure of anything in my life. I know that we've gotten off to a bad start but I want to make that right…if you'll let me?" Bella continued and this time she got Brody's full attention.

"How do I know you won't freak out?" Brody challenged clearly not convinced by Bella's words.

"You don't and neither do I but I do know that I am willing to do anything for you. For the first time in my life I am deviating from the plan that has been instilled in me since birth and I am terrified beyond belief but I know it will all work out if I have you because that's all I care about"

Brody didn't have any witty come back or sarcastic comment. She just sat there looking at Bella trying to figure out if this was some sort of joke but the tears that were now streaming from Bella's face made everything seem real. Brody had never been the recipient of a romantic speech before so she had no clue what to do or how to respond.

"Fuck it" Brody finally said as she stood up and walked towards Bella. In one swift movement she embraced the crying girl and fused their lips together. Brody was just as scared as Bella as she had never done a serious relationship before but she was willing to try because she genuinely loved the preppy not so straight girl against all her better judgement. Bella returned the kiss and the scared tears turned to happy ones.

"Ashley are you crying?" A whisper came from the trees in the back yard followed by a sob. Bella and Brody turned around to see Ashley and Spencer squatting in the snow.

"Jesus you two were there the whole time?" Brody questioned as they both appeared from the darkness looking ashamed.

"It was Spencer's idea" Ashley accused getting a fake dirty look from Spencer.

"It was not! Ashley dragged me out here!" Spencer argued.

"Whatever you're both weird and we are leaving" Brody replied taking Bella's hand in her own. They both waved a quick goodbye and left leaving the two spying girls in the back yard.

"You totally meddled" Spencer sang as they headed into the chalet.

"Only because you wanted me to"

"Well thank you. You did a good thing Ashley" Spencer swooned as she kissed her girlfriend.

A/N So I'm thinking that I'm going to tie up some loose ends and then end this story but there will be a sequel. I can hear your screams of joy as you read this. So I'm thinking a few more chapters for this and then time for the sequel….need to start thinking of a title!x
