"Nothing. Sorry. Um…. You guys should probably leave before my parents come home."
"Yeah. I think we should." Brittany walks out and down the stairs to find her bandmates. Brittany walks to the stage to find Luke and Bobby putting away the equipment. "Hey Luke. Have you seen Reggie? And we should leave after you are done here." Luke grabs Brittany by the arm and pulls her aside.
"Are you seriously never going to talk to Bobby ever again?" Luke asks her.
"Yeah. I'm seriously never going to talk to him ever again. You know what he did. First he tells me that he likes me. And then he punched me in my face, which left a damn bruise that I had to cover up with makeup! I can never forgive him for that Luke! I just can't!"
"Okay. And to answer your question, he's outside. Also, we really do need to leave after we are done, so… just hurry up. Okay?" She nods at him and then walks outside.
"What was that about?" Bobby asks Luke.
"Nothing," Luke lies. "She just wanted to talk."
"It was about me wasn't it?"
"Yeah. It was. She doesn't trust you anymore. I honestly don't blame her. Sorry."
"No, it's fine. I'm just gonna go back to packing this stuff up."
When Brittany reaches outside, she sees Reggie sitting down on the curb. She walks towards him and sits down. "Hey," she says to him. "You okay?"
"I'm fine," he exclaims. "Why?"
"I was just wondering. When I left, you were already gone. I was… well… am worried. Are you sure you're okay Reg? It's okay if you aren't."
"Yeah. I'm fine. Just tired is all."
"Okay." She lays her head on his shoulder. "I love you babe and I just want you and only you. No one else. I promise you that."
He lays his head on hers and intertwines his fingers with hers. "I love you too. And I also promise that you are the only one for me. Forever and always." Brittany starts to chatter and scoots closer to his side. "Are you cold?"
"Yeah. I get cold really easily, remember."
"Take my jacket." He moves from where he was, takes off his jacket and wraps it around Brittany. "Better?"
"Much!" She leans in and kisses him. "I'm so tired. I'm honestly ready to go." She puts her head in the crook of his neck and closes her eyes. Reggie rubs her back in comfort.
"You two love birds ready to go?" Alex asks them as he pulls up to them in the van.
"Where did you go?" Brittany asks him.
"Where does it look like I went? I went to get the van! Now go get the stuff and put it in!" Reggie and Brittany get off the ground and walk inside.
"Alex is here with the van Luke," Brittany says. "I'm gonna go start loading the van." Brittany grabs a couple of the bags off of the stage and walks outside.
"I'm gonna help her," Luke says. He grabs one of the amps and follows Brittany outside.
"I know you must hate me," Bobby starts to say. "And I don't blame you, but…. I hope you know that I am sorry for what I did to Brittany. I didn't mean to hurt her or you. You two are two of my closest friends."
"And yet you hit her," Reggie says. "You lost two good friends with two bad moves. It's your fault that you messed up. Not Luke's, not Alex's, not mine and definitely not Brittany's. You should have just kept your feelings to yourself or the second bad move would have never happened." Brittany walks up onto the stage and puts a hand on Reggie's shoulder.
"Is everything okay babe?" Brittany asks Reggie.
"Everything's fine," he replies. "I'm gonna go take one of these amps outside." Reggie walks towards the amps, grabs one and takes it outside to the van.
"Hey… um," Bobby says. "I know you hate my guts right now-"
"Damn right I do," Brittany replies.
"Can we just talk? We haven't even talked about it yet. You have been ignoring me."
"No we can't talk. We need to get all of this packed." Brittany grabs an amp and walks outside. Bobby grabs the last amp off the stage and follows her.
When they both reach the van, Luke asks, "Is that the last of it?"
"The last of the amps, yes," Brittany responds. "I'm gonna go back in and get the last of the bags." Brittany walks away from the boys and goes back inside. She grabs the rest of the bags off of the stage and walks back to the door.
"Hey," she hears a voice say from behind her. She turns around and sees that it's Savannah. "Are you guys leaving?"
"Yeah," she replies. "I'm exhausted and I don't want to be here anymore to be honest. And hey, I'm going to be honest with you right now that I don't want you to stay the night tonight."
"Oh. Okay. Why?"
"It's not because I don't like you. It's just because I want to be alone tonight. Sorry, but maybe we can try tomorrow night, yeah?"
"Oh totally. Um see you tomorrow Brit." Savannah walks away and Brittany smacks her hand on her head.
'That was weird,' she thought to herself. Brittany walks back outside and to the van. "These are the last of them," She tells the guys. "Now can we please leave."
"Dang," Alex says. "Someone is really cranky and exhausted."
"I am not! Now come on. Let's go." Brittany opens the door and hops in.They all follow in after her. Bobby puts the keys in the ignition and drives away.
"Where's Savannah?" Alex asks.
"I told her that I don't want her to stay the night tonight," Brittany responds. "I honestly just want to be alone right now." The rest of the drive to the studio is completely silent besides the music blasting through the speakers.

…

They all get out of the car and unload their equipment. Brittany grabs as many of the bags she can and puts them on the floor. "We can sort out all of this tomorrow after school," Brittany says. "I just want to get home already."
"Hey Bobby," Alex says. "Can you give us a ride since it's on your way?"
"Sure," He replies. "Hop in." Luke and Reggie grab the last two amps from the back of the van as the Mercer twins hop back into Bobby's van. Minutes later, they pull up to the Mercer house. Alex hops out and opens the door to the back.
"Oh my gosh," Alex says.
"What's wrong?" Bobby asks him as he gets out.
"My sister is asleep and I don't want to wake her up because she hates being woken up. And I don't want to carry her into the house because she's heavy!"
"I can carry her in if you want."
"Thank god!" Alex walks off as Bobby walks to the open door. He grabs Brittany, closes the door with his foot and walks into the Mercer house. He goes up the stairs, into Brittany's room and lays her down, trying not to wake her.
"Are we home yet?" Brittany asks while waking back up.
"Yeah," Bobby replies. "You're home." Bobby sits down next to the half asleep blonde. Brittany then sits up and opens her eyes.
"Bobby? Why did you take me into my room?"
"Your brother asked me too. That and he didn't want to because he said you're too heavy."
"Oh, okay. Look, this might be having hardly any sleep talking but… I forgive you Bobby."
Bobby's eyes get big. "Really?"
"Yeah. You're one of my best friends and I can't stand to be mad at you for long. I know you did something that should be unforgivable, but I do forgive you Bobby."
"Thank you. And I know what I did was bad. I should be beaten severely with a led pipe."
"No, you shouldn't. Honestly, what you did was not that bad. I have had worse happen to me."
"What do you mean by worse?"
"Um…. You know what. It's nothing. I should get to sleep."
"No, Brittany. Tell me."
"Okay. So, one day I came home from school and my dad and mom were arguing with Alex. I walk up to them to see what's happening and then my dad lifts his arm to go hit Alex I guess, and hits him. When I told him that he shouldn't be hitting a kid, he smacked me and said 'Don't you tell me how to parent, young lady. This is my house and my rules. If you don't obey them or like them, then you can get the hell out." A tear rolls down Brittany's cheek. She wipes it off and sighs.
"Wait. Is this when Alex got kicked out of the house?"
"Yeah." More tears roll down her cheeks. "It is one of the worst days of my life. Another one is…."
"When your dad died?"
"Yes. I know he's the one who hit me and Alex, but he's still my dad, and I still love him. I just hate that I lost him." Brittany barries her face into her hands and cries even harder. Bobby wraps his arms around her.
"Hey. Everything is going to be okay. You have amazing bandmates and friends that care about you so much. And your… boyfriend, is there for you too and also cares about you so much Brit. You are such an amazing person and you deserve everything. Also, I'm gonna tell the principal that the fight was my fault."
Brittany sits up and looks at Bobby. "Why? Won't you get in major trouble?"
"Yeah. I will, but it's worth it. Getting you out of trouble is all I want to do."
She throws herself on to Bobby and sinks her head in the crook of his neck. "Thank you so much Bobby. You are such an amazing friend."
He wraps his arms around her and lays his head in the crook of her neck. "You're welcome."
"And I'm going to come with you when you tell her. That way…." She pushes out of the hug. "You have someone to hold you up while you do it."
"Thank you." She nods her head in a 'you're welcome' gesture. "Um…. I should get going." He stands up off her bed and walks towards the door. He turns back around and looks at Brittany. "Thank you, again Brit…. For everything."
"You're welcome." He turns back around and leaves her room. Brittany goes to her dresser, grabs a pair of pajamas and changes out of her dress. She grabs her makeup remover wipes from under her sink and starts to take off her makeup.
'Tomorrow is going to be an amazing day,' Brittany thinks to herself. 'It's going to be better than today. I'm hopefully not gonna get detention, thanks to Bobby.' Her entire body heats up and her cheeks turn red. "Why in the hell is my face turning red?" She asks herself, out loud. She shakes it off. She brushes her teeth and gets into bed. With the last strength she has, she turns off her light before laying down and closing her eyes.
