I broke off from Hailey and Rowan to find Brandon.

I pulled my phone out. 

'I wanna talk I'm by the side of the school'

Sent.

I shoved my phone away and leaned against the building.

I found myself worried about Elisia.

He could be hurting her.

She could already be dead.

I barely know her.

If I remember right, Ash was dating Elisia before I got sent away.

I haven't seen him around since I've been back.

I felt eyes on me and looked around to see some people staring a little longer than normal.

I covered my exposed skin.

I feel so revealed.

Maybe this shirt wasn't a good choice.

"Hey. Woah." Brandon turned a corner and I stood up straight.

He looked me over and finally met my eyes.

A huge goofy grin covered his face.

I nearly smiled back.

I was flattered for a moment and then I remembered what I have to say to him.

"Hey. Listen, last year I was not myself. I didn't even remember kissing you until last night. It was a huge mistake. I don't know if you thought maybe I liked you or that we would be something but we aren't. We can't be. Not now. I'm sorry Brandon but it is what it is."

I blurted it all out.

His eyes were big and he looked lost.

He cleared his throat.

"I thought you might not even remember the kiss, but I do. I know you may see me as an ass with no feelings but-" he paused.

"But I have them. Can I take you to a movie sometime? Now that you're sober I'd like to know the real you?" He asked me out.

Though it was sweet, right now, I can't.

With everything going on it just isn't smart.

"Brandon, I can't." I said quickly.

I could see his stomach drop.

"Why?" He asked in a small voice.

I can't be involved with someone right now.

I'm being stalked.

It's too much.

"I just can't. Now isn't a good time." I said walking past him. 

"Wait!" he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him.

I felt my air leave my lungs as my chest collided with his.

I looked at his hand roughly holding my wrist.

He let me go and I pulled my arm to me.

I didn't expect that.

I stepped back putting room between us.

What if he's the person I really hurt last summer?

I can't even imagine Brandon hurting someone, but what if he did?

"I can't get into it right now Brandon. I just can't. Please just stop."

I walked away.

This time he let me.
