Confessions Of A Broken Rebel

Recap:Finally, he found me. He slowly moved the painting out of the way. I opened my mouth to say "he found me" but I got a shock when all of a sudden..... now: he gave me a big sloppy kiss on my cheek. "Ugh!" I yelled. "That's nasty!" I said. "You're it!" He yelled, grinning like an idiot. "Fine." I said. I walked out the door and waited until I heard someone call out ready. I walked in. Now I know why Brady was cursing trying ot find us. The chairs were in the way, I tripped on toys, and winded bruising my shin. "Owwww! Oh my- Owww!" I yelped. I hurt someone burst out in laughter but quickly hushed. I finally found Sabrina under a desk. I smiled evilly. "NO! NO! NO!" She yelled. I jumped on her and gave her a big sloppy kiss on the cheek. "Eww!" She said wiping it. I laughed. After that, we had a new way to play Black Out Mickey Mouse. "Whew. Oh my gosh!" Hunter yelled. "What?" I asked. "It's 11:33! I gotta get home. I'll walk you to your house Sabrina." He suggested. "Okay." She smiled. "I'm gona go get my stuff." She said, heading to the living room to find her belt and hat. "Are you gonna be okay tonight?" Hunter asked. I nodded hesitantly. "Yeah, it's no big deal." I muttered. "I lub you." He smiled. "I lub you more lubber cake." I smiled back. I hugged him. "Bye Sabrina." I said hugging her. "See ya tomorrow." I smiled and nodded. "Later Angel." Hunter said. They left so I turned to Brady. "Come on, let's get to bed." He said. I nodded. I fell into a deep trance, lost in thought. Did my dad see the letter? Will he be angry? What if he finds me? I'll be screwed... So many thoughts ran through my head. I absent-mindedly grabbed a pair of black pajama pants and a white t-shirt of Brady's. I brushed my teeth, wiped off my make-up, and climbed into his bed. Soon after, Brady climbed in next to me in a pair of shorts and a black t-shirt. "Are you okay, Angel?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I whispered. "Angel, don't worry. I know that you're worried. It's okay. Just remember, you're my best friend, I'm not going to let anything happen to you." He said hugging me from behind. "Thanks Brady." I smiled and fell asleep. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Brady's P.O.V "No...dad stop...dad please!" Angel muttered in her sleep, tears streaming down her face. "Let go, please! Stop!" She yelled. I gently pushed her shoulder. "Angel. Angel! Wake up! It's just a dream!" I said, pushing her shoulder a bit more forcefully. Her eyes shot open. "Are you okay?" I asked her. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up." She said wiping her cheeks. "I'll go sleep on the couch." She said getting up to leave. "No! It's okay, I understand. You'll feel better in here." I said patting the now empty, but still warm space beside me. "I'm sorry." She said climbing back in. "Don't be sorry, there's nothing to be sorry for." I said. I hated seeing her like this. She was my best friend. I've only seen her have a nightmare once, and she was 5, and I haven't seen her cry except for this week. Her eyes shut gently. Her tear-stained face glistened in the moonlight coming from the window. She's so...beautiful. Wait! She's like my sister! Could I be falling for her....? No way! I know she doesn't like me like that. It's too early in the morning to think. I thought at myself, and drifted off to sleep. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Normal P.O.V My eyes fluttered open at the sound of the alarm clock. I woke up with my head on Brady's chest and my arm around his waist. His arm was on my back with his head leaning on mine. I gently lifted my head. I put my lips next to his cheek...and leaned forward, just a little. I quickly pulled back and scolded myself for acting so irrational. This jerky motion made Brady shift in his sleep so that he faced me, his arm now around my waist, and we faced each other on the pillow. I gently tried to scoot away but he pulled me closer, and held me tighter. "Oh Angel..." He muttered. "Come on, get up." I said. Veronica came in the doorway. "Everyone up?" She asked. "No...Brady!" I scolded him. I started tickling him. "Stop, please. I'll get up!" He begged. Veronica started laughing hysterically. All of a sudden, something collided with me and I tumbled off the bed. Veronica came over and started tickling me. Brady joined in. "Not fair! Stop it!" I laughed. I pulled a blanket off the bed and wrapped it around Brady. He was tangled in it and almost ended up hitting the wall. Veronica came back over and began tickling me again. She finally got up and made a run for it. "I'm going to KILL you!" I yelled running after her. She ran downstairs, laughing and screaming. I tackled her onto the carpet and wrestled with her. "You are so-" I laughed, trying to get my words out, "evil!" I laughed. I stuck out my tongue and threw a blanket at her. We got some eggs and pancakes to eat and I went upstairs. I showed and got dressed in a black nightmare before Christmas t-shirt, dark dark blue, acid washed jeans, converse, eyeliner, and spiked my hair. I put on some purple eyeshadow and grabbed my backpack. "Let's go!" Brady said, walking out the door, Veronica followed close behind. We finally got to school. We met up with our friends and talked before the bell rang. "Yay...English." I said. Luckily, I Sabrina, Heath had classes by me and Brady was in my class. "Yesterday was fun! Heath, did you get your homework done?" I asked. "Yea, it took a while but, it's finished." He replied. "Are we going to the strip mall today?" I asked. "Yea definatly! Let's get our homework done in study hall." Sabrina said. The strip mall was an outside mall with a grocery store, hair cut store, food places, and a few other shops. We usually went there, the skate park, or to the abandoned shop on 5th street. We sat and talked until the tardy bell rang. When we split up for our classes. "Hello. We have a new student with us today, his name is Tyler Willow." I looked next to her to see a kid with black hair. He wore a ring of eyeliner around each eye and had a black wrist band on his arm. He looked up to Ms. Vandam. "Take a seat over there between Brady and Kiara. Please raise your hands." She said. We limply raised our hands, even though my first thought was Oh my god, this guy is so cute! He walked over and sat down next to me. "Hey I'm Kiara, but everyone calls me Angel." I smiled. "I'm Brady. I'm her brother." Brady said shortly, nodding toward me. "I'm Tyler, nice to meet you. You guys don't really look alike." He smiled. "Well-" Brady started. "I look like my dad, and he looks more like our mom." I cut in. Brady gave me a confused look but then turned to Tyler and nodded. Tyler nodded and smiled. I think I melted right there. I smiled back. In the corner of my eye, I could I swore I saw Brady glaring at him. "Hey, why don't you eat lunch with us?" I suggested. "Yeah, that'd be cool." He smiled. "Can I see your schedule?" I asked. "Sure." He said handing it to me. I unfolded it and looked over his classes. "We have quite a few classes together. English, obviously, math, biology, and photography." I smiled, handing the schedule back to him. "Cool." He smiled. I loved his smile. I smiled over at Brady. He smiled back, but it looked forced, like he wasn't too happy about Tyler. I turned my attention back to my notebook. I had been scribbling, writing some quotes, the usual. Class finally ended. "I'll show you where the math class is." I told Tyler. "Sweet, thanks." I smiled, grabbed my messenger bag, and stood up. Brady secretly passed me a note, which Tyler didn't catch. I shoved it into my pocket, and lead Tyler to our math class. "Mr. Jones is pretty cool." I said. "Ah, you must be Tyler, I presume?" He asked. Tyler nodded. "Take a seat anywhere you like." He smiled. Tyler just nodded and sat down next to me. He got out a notebook. While he was busy, I pulled the note out of my pocket. What was with that sibling thing earlier? -Brady I took out a pen and scribbled the answer. I don't want him to feel sorry for me or know about my mom and dad. Please don't tell him, I am your sister now! Please Brady! [ex.oh] Angel I re-folded the note and stuck it back in my pocket. The class droned on. The bell rang again. "This is photography class." I said. Introductions were made and I told him about the class. Ms.Andrews told us that we needed to take some random pictures. "You can borrow my camera. I have a spare." I told him. "Thanks." He said. I handed him one of my cameras. I sat on a planter and took a picture of a field. "Stay right there." Tyler said. He took a picture of me. "Great, now I bet my camera broke!" I smiled. Tyler laughed. "I don't think so...I think it looks nice." He smiled. I took a picture of him. "Check your camera." He said. "Why?" I asked. "I think I broke it." I laughed. We took some more photos and the class would be ending soon. "Let's get back to class." I smiled. We walked back into the classroom. "Now, we are going to make a collage with one of the photos you took. Choose your favorite and tomorrow we will take more photos on the subject you chose." I looked through the pictures again. I looked over at Tyler. "Why aren't you deciding which one you want to do?" I asked. "I already know." He said. "I picked the most beautiful one." He added. "Which one is it?" I asked. "The one of you." He smiled. My face felt hot and I knew I was blushing. I put my camera down. "Know which one you're going to do yet?" He asked. "Yeah. The most handsome one." I replied. "Which one is that?" He asked. "The one of the field." I laughed. "No, it's the one of you." I added. He laughed and smiled. I smiled back. "Now class!" Ms.Andrews said. I smiled and looked toward her. "You will make a collage with your neighbor. So whichever you two decided, you will put it together to make a collage." She said. The bell rang. I packed up. "We eat lunch over there." I smiled walking over to the wall. I sat down next to Brady, secretly slipping him the note. Tyler sat down next to me. "I'll be right back." Brady said. I knew he was going around the corner to read the note. "Kay." I said. "How do you like it so far. "It's pretty good." He said. "Well, this is Hunter, Heath, Andrew, Connor, Sabrina, and Aly, and you already met Brady." I introduced them. "Guys, this is Tyler." I smiled. Everyone said hi. "So, you like your classes so far?" I asked. He nodded. "If it ain't the little emo kids." Andrea said. Andrea was head of the cheerleading squad, and head bitch at the school. "If it ain't the little skank." I retorted. She smirked and walked away, flipping her hair as she went. "Who was that?" Tyler asked. "Andrea." I replied. "She only seems a little evil." He muttered. "ONLY a little." I smiled. The lunch bell rang. "We going to the mall still?" Brady asked me. "Yeah, I'll ask the girls if you ask the guys." I replied. "Later Angel." He said hugging me. "Later sugar." I replied and I headed to Biology. "Tyler is sooo cute!" Sabrina said. "I know!" Aly agreed. "I think I melted when he smiled at me." I laughed. "We're going to the shopping center, you in?" I asked them. "Definatly." They said. "Cool." We met up with the guys. Tyler met up with everyone. "Hey, you guys up for the strip mall?" I asked them. "Sure." They agreed. "Wanna go Tyler?" I asked. "Sounds cool." He smiled. Us three girls exchanged happy glances. "Let's go."
