Chapter Twenty Eight

I turned on the radio to distract myself.

“But if you were my girl…I’d make it so we’d never be apart….” Brian’s voice floated over the radio. I sighed and changed the station.

“Ooooh When I asked you out…you said no but I found out…you thought that you’d never love again…” Brian again!! I growled and changed the station

“So many words…for the broken heart, it’s hard to see in a crimson love, so hard to breathe, walk with me and maybe…” I screamed angrily and went to a classical station. Mozart. I focused on the road while listening to Mozart.



Brian’s House:

Brian heard the doorbell ring. It was already 11. He went up to answer it

“Bone!” he said

“Rok…you will never guess what happened,” AJ said breathlessly running past Brian and sitting on the couch. Brian sat next to him

“What?” Brian asked curiously

“I was walking along with beach and I saw Emily! Some guy was pressuring her for sex and she obviously didn’t want it…so I went over to help her,” AJ said. Brian’s eyes grew wide

“Is she ok?” he cried.

“Yeah…I took her to Mac Daddy’s afterwards…she was all right…until she got a hissy fit,” AJ said

“Over what?”

“Some ring…”

“Over a ring?” Brian asked

“Yeah…she said a special friend gave it to her. She was bummed so we spilt.”

Brian tried to think. What kind of a ring would make her so upset if she lost it. He sucked in air. The ring he bought her. The hospital. Baby. 143. I love you. Emily.

“AJ…I think it was ME who gave that ring to her,” Brian said.

“YOU? Oh…man…” AJ whistled

“You think I should try and get her back?” Brian asked

“Give her awhile…I don’t think she’s ready to forgive you,” AJ said. Brian nodded. AJ got up and left.

Brian got up and took out his guitar. He started writing. When he was stressed. Singing and writing calmed him down. He wrote like he never did before in his life. Pouring out his whole mind onto a thin piece of paper.



“Lisa…” I whispered, gently nudging her. She woke up and smiled

“I had the best time tonight! And I saw you and James walk out of there!! Hey hey!! What did you guys do?” She asked me grinning.

“Lisa…James is the biggest jerk I’ve ever met! He kissed me and tried to get me to have sex with him! AJ saved me,” I said.

“AJ? Oh my gosh…what a jerk ass…” She got up and dialed Jeff. I Listened as Lisa told Jeff in a hush voice what happened.

“He said that he never knew James that long…Em, I’m so sorry we didn’t watch out for you, we thought you guys were going out for a walk…” Lisa said.

“It’s ok…I’m ok now,” I flopped on a chair and put my chin on the top of her chair.

“I also lost my ring,” I said. Lisa gasped

“The Brian one? The one that said I love you on the inside? That gorgeous thing?” She cried.

I nodded. But I didn’t cry. Some how, I felt good about myself. Since that ring was gone. I had no reminder of Brian any more. I finally realized that it was possible to move on.

“I’m gonna go to sleep now,” I said

“Good night Emily,” Lisa said

“Good night Lisa,” I said gently closing her door.

I went into my room and turned on the radio

“Everybody…yeah…rock your body…yeah…everybody, rock your body right!

Back street’s Back All right!” I smiled

“I’m back,” I said closing my eyes while humming.
