What's Within'

PART 2- Chapter 1: Let Me Explain

The silence continues for another 5 minutes as we hear the sound of the cop car sirens to fade away.

Jesus Christ, Brittany. What have you gotten yourself into meeting this boy?

Ding Dong.

I turn around and face the door, I can feel my heart about to beat out of my chest. I reach for the knob and open it slowly. Bryan stands up and grabs my arm.

"Don't go down stairs." His voice sounds deeper and scarier. I pull my arm away and run down stairs.

"Brittany! Get up here!" He follows me down stairs. And tries to grab my arm again. I turn around and slap him.

"This is MY house. I don't know what the fuck is going on but this is MY house. I will answer my door as I please and if someone is here to take you away so be it, but you will not tell me what to do. Now go upstairs I will tell you when it's okay to come back down." I said in a whisper.

I turn towards the front door.

"Who is it?"

No response.

I slowly open the door, and I see a wave a beautiful hazel ombré hair.

It's Nichole! I sigh with relief and hug her.

"Whoa, you look like you just ran a marathon or something why are you all sweaty?" She says while smiling. I love that smile and I felt so bad for even taking that away.

"It nothing.. Uh, what do you need?"

"Well I just haven't seen you in a couple days and wanted to know how you were doing with that whole Bry-"

She stops and looks up the stairs, I turn to look where she is looking. Bryan is at the top of the stair case.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH"

She run towards him in anger, I pounce on her and try to keep her from moving another inch.

"NICKY" I say screaming at her "WHATRE YOU DOING WHY ARE YOU SO MAD AT HIM?"

"HOW DARE YOU COME INTO thIS HOUSE." I release her from my arms. "And you!" She says pointing at me. "How dare you LET him into the house, after all the shit he's put us through. Put YOU through."

"Whoa whoa, Nichole, I don't know what I did-" Bryan tries to say.

"Oh you REALLY don't know huh? BULLSHIT. You broke my baby's heart. You broke my heart, and Reagans, and you don't even apologize?"

"Look Nichole. I know it's a little weird to see him here again but you have to understand what's happening and to know why I let him in here, which I will explain later but for now you need to leave." I say in one huff.

Nichole looks at me and shakes her head. "Alright, but as for you Bryan. You will never gain my respect back. I'll see you later, Britt." Nichole walks out the door and slams it.

"Damn." Bryan says giggling.

I turn around and stare at him.

"Now do you want to tell me what you did before everything keeps going down hill tonight?"
