Chapter 9

Greyson

I stared at the phone, willing it to ring again. I needed to talk to her. I wanted to explain. I sighed as I realized that it was all coming to a head a lot sooner than I had anticipated. I opened my phone and called Meg.

“Hey, I was just thinking about you.” She’d answered the phone sounding cheerful, and I smiled, loving the way the sound of her voice made me feel better.

“Hey, can you meet me at the club?”

“The club?”

“Yeah. There are some things I need to show you.”

“Okay.” She sounded curious. “Like what?”

“You’ll see. Hey, I have to go.” I hung up quickly as I saw Katie walking past the room I was in. “Hey, Katie, you got a second?”

“What’s up?” She looked at me politely, but I could tell that she still hadn’t warmed to me.

“Do you know where Brandon went?” I gave her a smile. “I need to talk to him.”

“I don’t know.” She shook her head. “We spoke this morning and he told me about you and Patsy.” Her eyes narrowed.

“Meg knows I slept with Patsy in the past.”

“Does Meg know about the kid?” Katie hissed at me, and I froze.

“The kid?” I repeated softly.

“Brandon is ready to come clean with everything.”

“He is?” I looked into her accusing eyes and nodded. “I guess it’s time.”

“Yes, it is. I think Meg needs to know everything.”

“I agree. I think it’s time for us to get it all out in the open.”

“You do?” She looked surprised, and I smiled.

“I love Meg, you know. I don’t want to keep secrets from her anymore. I’m ready for the truth to be out.”

“The truth sets you free.” She nodded in agreement. “I wish Brandon hadn’t rushed out,” she sighed. “I don’t know where he went.”

“I’ll call him.” I checked my watch. “I told Meg to meet me at the club, but I’ll be back soon.”

“Tell Brandon to hurry home if you speak to him.” She nodded. “I miss him and I feel bad for cutting him off this morning when he was talking to me.”

“Okay, and thanks, Katie.” I reached out and rubbed her shoulder.

She frowned. “Thanks for what?”

“Thanks for being a good friend to Meg and an even better friend to Brandon.”

“I love him,” she said simply and smiled. “I love them both. When it comes to love, nothing can destroy how you feel.”

“I hope that’s true,” I whispered and hurried out of the house. “I really hope so.”

I walked through the front door and pulled out my phone again. “Pick up, pick up,” I muttered and then hung up and dialed again as it went to voicemail. “Pick up, Brandon,” I muttered as I listened to the phone ringing.

“Hello?” His voice sounded low, and I frowned.

“Where are you?”

“What do you need?” He ignored my question, and it sounded like he was breathing hard.

“I just spoke to Katie. She said you’re willing to come clean?”

“She said that?”

“Well, she said we should all sit down and talk.” I sighed. “I do think this is for the best.
