Chapter Twenty-Seven

Brandon POV:

I was mindlessly staring at the wall and twirling the fork around my plate while having dinner with my family.

I was feeling detached from inside like some part of me is missing and I'm not myself anymore.

The talk I had with Laura last week is still making it hard for me decide about my feelings. I'm not sure if I love her like I used to claim I do all this time. Actually for this whole week I'm not sure about anything, I'm not sure if I was even Madeline's best friend or she even think of me as her friend because it has been a week and I have not heard anything from her. No call, no email nothing at all like I was never a part of her life. She just disappeared like it's really easy to leave people behind.

Then why does it feels so hard to let her go and not think about her. Why does she appears everywhere I look; every corner of this house contains memories of her.

Wherever I look I see her face smiling at me or giving me her that sly smile that make me go crazy.

My eyes went to Elena and Erin, they were busy in munching pizza which I refused to eat and got stuck with with tasteless spaghetti of Mrs.Margaret.
Even the damn pizza reminds me of her and the time I had spend with her in Henry's Pizza place.

I hate pizza,I hate her for leaving me. She's going to regret ever leaving me the day I'll find her and kiss the hell out of her.

Kiss?

Okay I'm finally going crazy. She succeeded in turning me into a obsessive person by calling me Mr.Obsessive each second.

She thought I was obsessive about Laura then she should take a look of this obsession of mine towards her. This is far more serious obsession then I had for Laura and I'm scared of the person that I'm turning into for her.

I need to get out of this damn house to escape her stupid memories. Pushing back my chair I got up to leave but my actions caught my parents and twins attention making them look at me with scrutinizing gaze.

"Where are you going Brandon?". My mom asked me, looking at me with the concerned face.

"Out for a walk". I said.

"You haven't eaten anything". She said looking at my full plate.

"I'm not hungry". I said.

My mom looked ready to say something but my dad squeezed my mom's hand and nodded his head in my direction like telling me to go.

I was thankful of him for understanding me. I don't know how he do this but he have a talent of knowing everything about his children and his wife.

I left the house and started walking aimlessly on the side of the street. The night was dark and silent. After fifteen minutes of walk I was outside her old house staring at it.

How many nights we had spend in this house. How many times we played around this house. How many times I came here to pick her for school but now she's not here, she will not come out if I call her name.

Damn you Madeline!

My eyes were stuck on the house just staring waiting for some miracle to happen that will make her come out of this house in her favorite black sweatpants and grey hoodie that was mine but she claims to own it.

I felt something wet on my face making me look up to see the raindrops falling slowly.

I walked to the center of the road and opened my arms as the rain started pouring heavily, drenching me completely.

It felt refreshing to let the raindrops wash away my tears that started falling when I shut my eyes and imagined her face, her beautiful smile and her hazel eyes that makes my inside melt.

I was still standing in the center of the road,deep in thoughts and under the heavily pouring rain. I didn't heard the car coming until a harsh lights was thrown on my eyes.

The headlights of the car made me turn around to see a black car coming towards me in full speed.

Before I have a chance to take actions the car came to halt inches away from my knees.

"What the hell? Are you attempting suicide man!?". Jake came out of the car looking extremely angry and loudly shutting his car door.

He walked closer then his eyes landed on me.

"Brandon you?". He said looking at me with confusion written all over his face.

"What the fรบ*k are you doing here in the middle of the road?". He asked pushing me on the shoulder in anger while getting drench himself.

I was too tired mentally and emotionally to react to his anger and reply with another lie.

Ignoring him I turned back to glance at her house one last time before walking back to mine.

When I took the glance Jake eyes followed my direction and realization dawned on him. After my family Madeline, Jake and Laura know about me most.

"Brandon let's go I'll drop you to your house". Jake said pulling me from my arm but I shrugged it off making him stop and give me a questioning gaze.

"I don't want to go there". I said.

"Why?". He asked.

"Because wherever I look her face appears. Her memories hunts me in that house". I said running my hands through my hair.

"Then let's go to my house". He suggested.

"Fine". I said walking to his car and getting in the passenger seat.

He got in the driver's seat and started the car. For the whole fifteen minutes of drive to his house we stayed silent.

When we arrived at his mansion like house we went inside and made our way upstairs to his room.

"So what were you doing outside Madeline old house?". He asked me shutting the door of his room.

"What do you think I was doing?". I replied sarcastically.

"Waiting for some car to hit you". He spat looking angry.

"No I was....waiting for her to come out of the house". I mumbled feeling stupid.

Jake's angry face softened and he looked at me.

"She left Brandon and you don't know where she is at the moment. It's stupid to go there and get drench yourself under the rain". He said.

"Does it look like I care". I said with the careless shrug of my shoulder.

He walked closer and said "Brandon you'll find her or she might come back here. You need to wait".

Anger took over me at the mention of wait.

"Whatever Jake I don't care if she finds me or not. I don't even care if she'll come back or not". I said with the clenched jaw.

Jake laughed humourlessly at me and said "You're lying".

"I'm not lying Jake. I don't want to remember her if she don't want to remember me". I said moving closer to him.

"How can you say this?". He said looking at me in shock.

"She left all the pictures which have our moments captured in it,her and mine". I told him feeling the pain that made my heart ache.

"Brandon she might have forgot to pack them?". Jake said trying to make me realize that I'm wrong but how I can be wrong.

"No! She left me and discarded our memories. I'm going to do the same". I shouted.

How can she forget our pictures that are so especial for me but I think not for her now that she forgot them or left them hanging on the wall.

"How are you going to do the same?". He asked with the confusion.

"I got accepted in the California university and I have decided to go there. I'll leave on this Tuesday". I said making him still.

"But you wanted to stay here with your parents". He said giving me a quizzical stare.

"Now I don't want to stay here. I want to leave Jake. I need to go far away from the memories before I turn into a psychopath". I said pulling my hair in frustration.

Jake stared at me silently not saying anything anymore not defending her.

"Now will you please land me some clothes?". I said staring at my dripping clothes and the floor that's have quite a puddle of water where I'm standing.

"Yeah sure". He said walking to his move in closet and coming out with black trouser and blue V neck t-shirt, throwing both pieces on my face.

Grumbling I made my way to washroom to get shower and changed.

When I came out I saw Jake moping the floor and shrugging I jumped on his bed making him send a glare at my way. I took the remote and switch on the channels while Jake finished his moping and went to washroom to get shower.

While watching a football match I feel asleep.

Jake POV:

I came out of the washroom changed in dry clothes and saw Brandon sleeping while the football match was playing on the TV.

I heard my phone ringtone making me run and shut it off before it wakes up Brandon.

But when I picked up the phone and take a look of the caller ID I made my way outside the room.

"Hello". I said walking down to go to lounge.

"Hi". I heard small hush voice of girl making me look at the caller ID again.

"Elena is that you?". I asked in confusion getting still in the middle of the stairs.

"Yes". She replied.

"I thought it was aunt Hailey calling me for asking about Brandon". I told her.

"No mom and dad are asleep. They're still taking meds and it makes them sleep a lot". She told me in her sweet voice.

"Yeah right medicines do that to people". I mumbled awkwardly continue my walk.

"I don't want to sound rude or anything but why are you calling me?". I asked her switching on the lights of the lounge.

"Brandon still haven't came back from the walk. I'm worried about him".She said sounding worried.

"He's fine Elena. He's at my house, sleeping right now". I said slumping down on the couch with the my cellphone pressed on my left ear.

"Oh that's good. But he hasn't been acting like the normal Brandon from few weeks". She said sounding sad.

"And how normal Brandon acts?". I asked her curiously.

"The normal Brandon smile a lot, tickle me when I tease him and gives me piggyback rides every morning". She replied cheerfully.

"He's not doing all these things?". I asked her.

"Nope. He's acting like a grumpy pants all the time,not eating and sometimes staring at the wall like his favorite team is playing football and he's watching them". She explained Brandon's behavior like a expert.

"These are the symptoms of love". The words were out of my mouth before I could stop myself from saying them.

"What?".She asked.

Damn she heard me and now I have to tell her or she will not leave me.

"Uh nothing". I said.

"Jake". She called my name sternly. For a little thing she sure know how to command people.

"Yes princess?". I said.

"Tell me what did you mean when you said my brother have symptoms of love". She asked me making me realise that now I have no way out of this.

"It means he fell in love". I said truthfully.

"With who?". She asked me.

"You don't know?". I asked.

"I think I do". She replied shocking me.

"Really?". I asked her.

"Yup". She said.

"It's Madeline. Isn't it?". She asked me.

"Yeah". I said.

"How do you know?". I asked hoping that maybe Madeline might have shared something to Elena about her feelings.

"I'm quite observant". She replied with the sigh.

"Yes you're I think". I mumbled.

After a few minutes of silence she asked "How are you Jake?".

"I'm fine". I replied nervously.

"Did you cried again after that night?". She asked softly.

"What? No. Boys don't cry. I had something in my eyes that night, you thought I was crying". I lied to her when she knows that I cried that night.

"Really?". She asked me in a teasing voice.

"Yup". I said sleepily.

"Jake it's alright for boys to cry sometimes and don't worry I will give you a hug if you cried again". She said reminding me how she hugged me that night and told me that everything is going to be alright.

Elena is a very sentimental kid with sensitive heart yet she acts like she's strong and thinks she can help everyone even me when I know no one can help me or pull me out from the mess I am in.

"Thanks". I said yawning.

She was silent so I said "Elena go and sleep, you have school tomorrow".

"Goodnight Jake. Take care of my brother". She said.

"I will". I said ending the call and falling asleep.
