Reed’s head fell into his hands, as he was thinking, ‘what have I just done’? He felt like he was going to be sick! He suddenly became love-sick over Brynley. This pain he felt, was so much more different, than what he had felt with Rebecca. He couldn’t believe he let his jealousy and pain spill over in a punishing and malicious conversation with her! He was remembering the tears in her eyes, as he ruthlessly subjugated her to his spiteful words. ‘Why would she kiss me; and then tell me that Jamison was asking her on a date, unless she was trying to make me jealous?’ He never thought that would be a possibility in Brynley; and yet, this is what she did. Reed took his frustration out on his steering wheel. He took his fist and just kept beating it! After twenty minutes of relentlessly beating his steering wheel, Reed decided to drive home. The storm was befitting of his mood now.

Brynley was in agony and baffled by Reed’s change in his behavior. She thought that they were starting to grow close. She loved being around him. He made her laugh; and when he kissed her, she melted into him! She thought he was interested in her; all of those times kissing her the way he did. Was he just using her, for a good time? Was he just testing the new girl, seeing if he could have another Tabitha; and she didn’t pass the test? Brynley’s heart felt stripped of pleasure and jollity. Reed took it from her; and she vowed, that she would never give him another chance to ridicule or hurt her again! Her pride and heart would never allow him another chance.

She arrived back to her aunt’s house and ran blindly up the stairs. Her tears overcame her sight. She slammed her door and threw her disillusioned and weary body on her bed. The tears flowed unceasingly. She could hear her door open. “Oh my gosh! Brynley, what’s wrong?” She felt Kendra’s hand rub her back. Brynley refused to turn around; so, her friend could see her grief-stricken face. “Brynley, what’s wrong? I thought you went to go see Reed this morning? Did something happen? Did he hurt you? Talk to me Brynley, I can’t stand this!”

It took some time, but Brynley eventually turned over. Kendra saw the anguished expression on Brynley’s face. She immediately cradled Brynley in her arms and tried to soothe her tears. Kendra became instantly angry, at who or what she didn’t know, but she would find out and take care of the situation for sure! Kendra rocked Brynley slowly, until Brynley’s tears started slowing down. When Brynley’s breathing came under control, Kendra asked her again what had happened.

Brynley recanted every moment of her being with Reed, and every word he said to her. She couldn’t help but cry; remembering how angry and disgusted he looked at her, when he said the cruel things that he did. Kendra was furious
