23. Accidents Nick, Jane and Joe picked me up again the next day. I had to force myself to smile when I opened the door and Nick grinned at me. I barely said anything but Joe and Nick were oblivious. Jane noticed something was wrong but she seemed to realize I didnt want to talk about it. Or at least not while Nick and Joe were with us. She was going to force it out of me later. I was afraid Id start crying again just the memory of last night brought tears to my eyes. Still, only Jane noticed. Nick and Joe were talking about something funny Frankie had done and Jane pretended to listen. I was actually glad no one paid attention to me. During our World history class Nick finally noticed there was something wrong. I guess it was to be expected. I didnt talk at all and I didnt answer the note he tossed me. I just put it in my pocket. He looked at me questioningly. I just shook my head and he let it go. I managed to get through most of the day without having to answer questions. I knew some people were worried and I some were talking behind my back. I probably looked terrible. I ran out of luck when we had P.E.. Jane and Kelly stopped me when I wanted to walk to the gym and forced me to sit down on one oh the benches in the locker room. I shouldve foreseen this. Our teacher probably wouldnt even notice three of her students were missing.Whats wrong? Jane asked sounding genuinely worried. She was just perfect. I knew she was dying to know what it was but still she was the perfect image of patience. I took a breath and looked up at them.Its Trey. I said.They looked confused. I really was a terrible sister. They were my best friends here and they didnt even know my brothers name. they had never met him of course. But they didnt even know I had a brother. I was the worst sister in the history of mean, bitchy, egotistical sisters. My brother. I clarified. You have a Kelly blurted out but Jane nudged her and she didnt finish here sentence. He had an accident. Tears formed in my eyes. Is he ok? Jane asked.Hes in the hospital. H-hes blind and .. and the doctors .. say he might never get his eyesight back.So what are you going to do? Kelly asked. Jane probably thought she as being to straightforward. But she didnt say anything. She wanted to know too.I have no idea. I admitted. I started crying. They stayed with me and tried to comfort me. The bell rang to announce the end of school. I splashed some water in my face but it was still obvious Id been crying. Jane and I walked to Joes car. He and Nick noticed my red eyes but they didnt ask. Obviously deciding this was the time nor the place for emotional scenes. My sister had already offered to go home for a while to help my mom out. She had refused. Laurens life was here. Everyone knew I was the one with the real decision to make. Mom had cancelled the rest of the book tour so I could go home if I wanted to. I knew Brent hoped Id fly back with him. I knew Jane and Kelly hoped Id stay. Lauren would support whatever I decided to do. She would miss me if I left and I would miss her. Shed told Kevin. I knew Jane would have told Joe by now. But still I would have to tell Nick. I didnt know how hed react. I needed to know how hed feel about me leaving. I was surprised to find Brent had cooked that evening. I thought you two needed a nice home-cooked meal. He said when I asked him about it. We ate our dinner and it was DE-LI-CIOUS. After dinner Lauren immediately stormed off to call momagain. I went to sit on the coach and Brent followed me. Thank you. You didnt have to do this.No problem, Bellie. I flinched and he realized hed slipped up. When we were dating he used to call us Bellie and the Beast. Not that the Beast was an accurate term for him. He looked amazing even when he was frowning and anxiously awaiting my reaction. Brent, even if I go home, that doesnt mean we can be together again.I know but I miss calling you Bellie. It has the wrong connotation. It just means I think you look beautiful, which you always do. It doesnt mean I think were together.I smiled. I miss being called Bellie.So what are you going to do? I dont know.Whatever you do Im here. As anything you need me to be. Even if that means just a friend.Thank you. You really changed Brent.No I didnt. I thought about that.No. I agreed. You turned back into the person you were.Im sorry. I wanted to hurt you, just like youd hurt me.I was already hurting.I know that now. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder. It felt nicenormal. I rested my head on his shoulder and a while later I fell asleep. I HOPE YOU DON'T HATE ME NOW. =D ANYWAY COMMENT .. RATE .. SUSCRIBE .. YOU KNOW THE DRILL =D . XOXO NELE
