[Turning You] On!

[Turning You] On! Chapter 30

“Rickey I know it may seem unfair and like the worst possible thing that can happen at the moment but maybe she’s better off. I mean I'm sure she’s in pain. Maybe she’s ready to go home.” I told him. “I know it’s  hard facing that and I know it hurts badly, but everybody has to go at some time.”

“Yea I know” He said swiping at his eyes with his other hand.

“Do you still miss your brother?” he asked.

“All the time.” I admitted. He sighed.

“I don’t feel like I will ever get over it.”

“Maybe you’re not meant too.”

“She gave me the name and address of my Dad,”

“Really?” I asked surprised

“Yea,”

“Are you going to go see him?”

“I don’t know,”

“Do you want to?”

“I’m not sure. If I decide to go will you go with me?”

“umm yea sure”

“Thanks Brielle, you know for being there. You should hate me with a passion, but you are being more than generous. Thanks so much…”

“It’s nothing Rickey. Really it’s fine.”

“It’s getting dark. I should get you back before your parents flip.”

“Yea,” I replied knowing that I didn’t want another dispute.

We pulled up into my driveway and I noticed that Terry was there sitting on the hood of his car. Rickey pulled up and we both exited the car.

“I’ll be right back” I told Rickey.  I walked over to Terry as Rickey stayed by the car.

“Hey,” I said to Terry.

“Hey, where you been? I’ve been calling you” He asked looking at Rickey and then back at me.

“Sorry, I left my phone in my room.  Rickey and I just went to go talk.”

“About?”

“Private issues.” He gave me a look.

“Well I’ll guess I’ll leave so you two can talk about private issues.”

“Terry don’t please”

“Don’t what?” He asked calmly. I couldn’t tell if he was mad or what.

“Stay, Rickey was just leaving.” I told him.

“You’re parents aren’t too fond of me B,”

“I’ll come over just wait.”

“Okay,” I walked back over to Rickey who was still standing by his car.

“Everything okay?” I asked making sure.

“Yea, thanks a lot Brielle,” He said giving me a hug. I hugged him back.

“No problem, I’ll see you later okay.”

“Yea bye” He said before getting back into his car. I made my way over back to Terry. He got in the car and I followed suit. The ride was silent and I didn’t know what to say or if I should say anything at all because I didn’t know if he was mad. I didn’t want things to turn sour between us because I didn’t think I would be able to handle it.

“How was the test?” I asked him.

“It was cool,” He responded.

We pulled up to his house and he exited the car walking up to the front door and walking inside. I followed him in and up to his room.

“Terry are you mad at me?” I asked him.

“Why would you say that?”

“Because I feel like you are giving me the silent treatment.”

“It’s just been a long day Brielle,” He said sitting down on the bed. I went and sat on his lap wrapping my arms around his neck and burying my face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist holding me tighter against him.

“Brielle tell me that nothing’s going on with you and this guy.” He said nuzzling my neck.

“Nothing is going on Terry,” I said pulling back and looking into his eyes. “Nor will anything ever happen. I’m with you Terry. I love you.”I said kissing his lips.

“I love you too B,”
