What I Learned In L.A. (Sequel to What I learned at Hope Springs)

changes

Brittany

I pulled the tee shirt back over my head and stared at Chris. He smiled at me, moving strands of my hair from my forehead that got messed up. "Wow." I said. "Right." He shook his head yea. We had left the hospital a few hours ago but neither of us wanted to go home at the moment.

Flashback

"I can't believe he attacked you like that, I'm so.sorry." Brittany said taking Chris hand in hers. "Not your fault." He said. They walked to the car. In the attempt to leave the hospital parking lot they declined, just sitting there sulking in their own misery. "I really don't wanna go.home." "me either." They both agreed. Brittany started the car reluctantly backing out of her parking space. She didn't know where they would go, but she just drove, where ever they ended up would be better then going home right then. "Chris wake up." Brittany said tapping him. The medication they had given him for his nose had kicked in, but he woke up anyway.

He looked around dazed and confused. "Where we at?" "Came to the park." She said. "You okay?" Chris asked. "No, I'm trying not to feel." "Well that's not gonna work, you need to feel something." He replied. She was silent. "Brittany?" "Hmm?" "When you kissed me, Did you mean it?" "I don't know." She answered looking at him. "Was I wrong for feeling something then?" Chris asked. The shared kiss had made him feel like they could have something, but he knew Brittany would never agree to that. She had Micheal, and he had Jasmine. Brittany stared at him intensely, she leaned in close to him pecking his lips. Her hands moved up to cup his face and the other to hold his hand.

Chris pulled her over the console so that She would be on his lap. "You wanna do this?" He questioned. She shook her head yes. He pressed his lips into her deepening the kiss. Her arms wrapped around his neck making them closer then close. He let his hands explore her body, removing her shirt. His lips touched her shoulder blades sending chills throughout her body. Light moans escaped her lips. She lifted the maxi dress she wore up, and slipped Chris out of the gym shorts he wore. She lifted herself on top of him. "Shit Britt." He mumbled.

Brittany

After I told Micheal what I did I felt so relieved. I wasn't mad, or sad. I was completely content with what Chris and me had did. He just sat there with a confused look, I guess it hurt his feelings. Oh well. This wasn't a revenge thing, this was me and Chris exploring feelings that Micheal and Jasmine always saw that we never acted on. At this point I really didn't care what happened.

I was upstairs finding clothes for the shower when Micheal walked in. "You know it's pretty fucked up that you would go and do that. Are we gonna go back and forth between them." He said. It wasn't a question though more like a statement. "I'm not doing anything, I acted on feelings just like you did." "But your actions were done out of spite, that's selfish." "And yours weren't?" I said cocking my head to the side. There can not and will not be a double standard here. "Micheal we both fucked up, now we gotta deal with the hurt and guilt simple as that." I said. "Well some of us can deal with that better then others." he proclaimed smartly. His statement was a asshole remark to the way I handled hurt feelings. "Lets try to stay away from anything sharp." he added, walking to his side of the bed.

I sighed continuing to pull out clothes. I'm not gonna respond to him, it's obvious that he's hurting and he's reflecting that on me. "As a matter of fact, let me just make sure you don't have anything sharp." He said coming over to my dresser. He pulled open all the drawers, taking all of my belongings out and slinging them to the floor. "Micheal stop it!" I screamed snatching some from his hands. "I'm protecting you!" He yelled back. "You're so stupid! stop it!" I yelled. He pushed me causing me to fall, still going on a crazy person rampage snatching all of my stuff out of drawers, and from the closet on the shelves. I couldn't do anything else but cry. "I better not see you scratching one time." he growled. I sniffled wrapping my own arms around me tightly. I didn't know what he would do, and I didn't want to find out.

"I'm going out!" He yelled. I got up folding my clothes and putting them back.in the dresser. I took a shower and climbed into bed afterwards. I woke up the next morning, Micheal was not in bed but two dozen roses were. I sat up in bed picking up the card lying next to them. I sighed and read It,

"sorry about how I acted, please forgive me. Get dressed and meet me downstairs."

I put the card down and climbed out of bed. I went to the closet going to pick out something to wear. When I found something to wear I freshened up and got dressed. I took the flowers downstairs so I could put those in water. "Good morning baby." Micheal said as I entered the kitchen. He had made breakfast and set the table. "Morning." I said lowly. "How you feeling?" "I'm fine." "You like the flowers I got you?" He asked. "Yea, they were really pretty." He took a deep breath and walked up behind me. "Baby, I love you. I'm sorry, I was angry. I never should have touched you like that, or said those things to you." I shook my head yeah, although I loved Micheal I was slowly losing trust in him.

I know how this went, I saw this on countless occasions with Ricky when I was back home. He'd do what he wanted, hit me, beat me, rape me, then he'd apologize. That was in the beginning though, once it became some kind of ritual for him he would skip the apologies. "I swear I won't ever hurt you again Brittany, just promise me that whatever Chris and you have is over." "What about Jasmine and you, are y'all over?" I asked. "Baby of course, I only want you, and our family I'm ready to do this." He's said turning me around to face him. "Come on show me that smile I love." He said flashing his pearly whites. His smile got me every time. "Okay." I said. He pulled me into a tight embrace. "I love you so much." He said. I cancelled everything we had today so we could spend some time together." He said.
