View MoreKIMBERLYBrandon and I didn't talk the entire ride back to LA, why? Because I joined Nao and Nate's ride."Are you sure you're okay, Kim?" Nate asks.It's just the two of us since Nao went upstairs to change. My head is bowed as I play with my fingertips."No," I shake my head. "It's just so hard Nate, I've been nothing but composed and understanding and I think people take that as me not having feelings at all, I'm human too, of course It would get too much and I would eventually lash out at some point, which is exactly what happened.""I get that, and I hope that Brandon sees your side of things, you guys are strong, I believe in you and i know that the love you have for each other will conquer all obstacles.""Honestly, I'm just so tired of all the fighting. It's getting worse with each time, I don't want to reach my breaking point."He stares into the distance and I know he understands me very well, that happened to Nao years ago and she almost got herself killed by not taking goo
KIMBERLY Car after car passes, making it's way to the graveyard where Laura is being put to rest. "Thank God it's finally over." Sam says. "Yeah, we can go back to LA and continue where we left off from." After finishing our coffees, I try Brandon's number again but it's still going straight to voicemail. Deciding I've had enough, I turn off my phone and head over to Nao's house with her and Sam. After helping her pick a dress to wear to her lunch date with Nate, we all head out. Sam stops walking, focusing on her phone with parted lips. "What?" Nao asks. Both of us walk back to her when she continues scrolling in silence. "Sam, what's wrong?" "Look," she hands the phone to me and Nao scoots closer. The headline reads : SUICIDAL FAMOUS LAWYER AND JOURNALIST FINALLY PUT TO REST. I skip the rest and go to the three pictures below, one is of the tombstone with Marisa's mom's full names, the other is of the people who were present, I scroll down to another post and it's the on
KIMBERLYIt's dark when my eyes open again. I rub the sleep out of my eyes and grab my phone on the bedside table to check the time. It's almost midnight and there's no text or missed call from Brandon. I know Marisa is hurting, I understand that Brandon is part of the people that she seeks comfort in, it's just three days, it'll soon be over and I'll have Brandon all to myself again.Clicking the side button to shut the screen, I place back the phone on the bedside table and go back to sleep.* *The Next Morning* *Still no text or call from Brandon, I try to call his number but it goes straight to voicemail. Well, maybe his phone shut down and he couldn't find proper time to charge it."I saw the news about that girl Marisa's mom, such a sad and traumatic situation for her to witness."I meet her eyes and sigh."Yeah, suicide isn't a light death.""So, Brandon?""He's at the funeral house with his mum. Marisa called him while crying, that's why we left our weekend vacation short.""
BRANDON I close the door to my car and walk up the steps to the front door with Kim and my friends following close behind me. I spoke to my mom after I finished packing and she she wouldn't leave Marisa's side. Marisa tends to act impulsively when she's upset, I wouldn't put it past her to do something crazy after losing her eyes like that. We enter the living room and I spot her curled up in my mother's side on the couch while she runs her hand soothingly over her hair. "Rissa," my mom says when she sees me walking to them and Marisa's head snaps up. When our eyes meet, she jumps from the couch and runs to me, throwing herself in my arms and wrapping her hands around my neck. In that moment, I don't know what to do, my hands remain at my side. I look at my mom and she gives a small nod. My hands move and wrap around Marisa's back, at that movement, she squeezes me tighter. "I'm sorry for your loss." A voice speaks softly beside me, Marisa pushes back and looks at Kim w
BRANDON It's been two days staying at the cabin and it surely is going on the best vacation list I've ever had with my friends. We leave tomorrow, I'm finally graduating and so are the Kim, Sam, Naomi, Michael and Jonathan. Xander has one more year to go since he decided to up his level in business. "In two month time, it's going to be busy for all of us, finally we get to work!" Sam says, clapping her hands excitedly. "Mhhm.." Kim hums in agreement. She flops down on the seat next to me and grabs her champagne glass. "And that my friend, deserves a cheers." Nao scoots to the edge and smiles. "Well, cheers to us finally being full out grownups!" She says. "Yes baby..." Jonathan grins, lifting his glass of whiskey to the center where all of ours follow and clink together in the middle. I sit back, flicking my lighter open and closed. Kim turns to look at me over her shoulder and smiles. "Congratulations for the big offer." "Thanks baby, I wouldn't have done it without you."
BRANDONI kept delaying the conversation and that made things worse. Had I told her myself, she would have believed me. I had no fucking idea she saw what happened between me and Marisa at the ball.My mind refused to rest after the blow up conversation with Kim, I spent the whole night on the couch awake.It's now morning and I stand rooted outside the bedroom door, debating whether it's the right time to approach her or not. Making a final decision, I turn and walk away.* * Two Weeks Later* * Everything is almost back to normal, almost, because I feel like Kim is still holding back from me. I don't blame her because my past with Marisa is too complicated, the fact that I almost took my own life because she left me would alert any new lover after she returns.The feeling I felt when Kim came back home and spoke to me without distance and anger is beyond the word relief. Lily's friend poking her nose where she shouldn't is another thing that's making my time bomb tick faster. I w
KIMBERLYAfter I left Brandon standing in the kitchen, I went to the girl's apartment and spent the rest of my day with them. When I got back home, I went straight to bed.I'm beyond livid, he looked me in the eye and lied to me. Marisa is not his responsibility, she knows what she's playing at and he's falling headfirst into the trap she's setting up."Well look who it is."I roll my eyes at Marisa's voice.She comes to stand directly in front of me. It's a Monday and I'm waiting for Matt in the café."Just save your breath Marisa.""Yeah, sure, I will save my breath for something else which is more important, or maybe some...Brandon, perhaps?"I bite the inside of my cheek. In a swift move, she pushes my books off the table and papers I neatly kept together scatter on the floor."Oops, I'm sorry, I can be a bit clumsy sometimes."I tuck my lips in and restrain myself from punching her straight on the nose.I crouch and pick up my scattered papers."I don't have time for this."I wa
KIMBERLYEvery day, I wake up in hopes that Brandon will be honest with me but I'm proven wrong all the time. It hurts to think that he would cheat on me, a huge part of me believes he would never do that to me, that maybe there was a moment where he realized what he was doing and stopped.I ran away from the scene before I could see what happened next after she kissed him. A stupid part of me holds on to the hope that after that kiss, he realized that he didn't feel how he felt when he kisses me. I want to be the only person Brandon feels an electricity pull with, not Marisa or any other girl. Tuns out, the girl who followed me and gave a hint of where to find Brandon is actually Marisa's best friend. My paranoia has me hanging on a tightrope. Every time Brandon leaves, I can't help but think he's gone to meet Marisa, like now.He said he and the guys are going to a bar for Lenny's farewell. I asked Sam to fish for information from Michael without being too obvious. She asked what
BRANDONI spot Kim walking out of the building. I walk to her and give her a kiss on the lips.I missed her so fucking much. It's going to be a while for us to be apart like that again. I take her luggage and place it the trunk. She slips inside the passenger side and we drive off."How was your flight?" I ask."It was okay, I just need to rest a bit."I nod in understanding.Silence settles between us, it's not the peaceful silence where there's no need to chat, it's that silence of not knowing what to say to each other. That alone makes me on edge.What if Lily said something to her? That's not possible, Marisa would have mentioned it.With how Marisa acted impulsively today, I know I need to tell Kim everything before she tries to use that information as a her last card in order to split us apart.We arrive at the apartment and settle inside. Kim goes upstairs to shower while I order lunch. A few minutes later, she walk out in a sweatpant and tank top."I told Anna about staying he
