Chapter 23: The End Of Briam

The place Brianna chooses for dinner is a fancy restaurant. It looks nice, but I don't think I'm wearing the correct attire. This place is too fancy for baggy jeans and sweatshirts.

"Hello, how many?" The waitress asks as soon as we walk in.

"Two please," Brianna says with a small smile. The waitress-which from her name tag her name is Marissa- nods and walks us over to a table. I sit down on the seat that has my back facing the door, and Brianna sits in front of me.

"Your waiter will be right with you," she says and walks back to the front of the restaurant.

"Are you never going to tell me what's wrong?" Brianna asks a few minutes later. I tense.

"I...um," I don't know yet. "Not right now, maybe after dinner."

She nods, and I sigh, glad I don't have to say right now.

"Hello my name's Sam- Oh hi Brianna," he says smiling at her. She looks up and gasps.

"Hi Sam...Wait you work here?" I ask confused. He nods slowly.

"Obviously. I needed more money, so I work here," he explains. Hey! I'm a waitress too.

I look over at Brianna and she's still staring at him, and she then shakes her head.

"Can I have a water please?" She says a while after, ignoring his gaze. Is she okay?

"Ill have a root beer," I say and he writes down our drinks. I still can't get over the shock that he works here.

"Okay, I'll be right back with your drinks."

I look over at Brianna who is just staring at her menu. She isn't even acknowledging his existence. I wonder what happened.

"Is everything alright?" I ask and she looks up at me. She nods.

"Yeah I'm fine-" she says, but I cut her off.

"I mean you and Sam," I explain. She tenses.

"I mean..Yeah everything's great!" She said putting on a fake smile. I roll my eyes.

"What happened? Did he hurt you?" I ask getting protective. She shakes her head.

"No.." She trails off. I nod for her to continue. "I think I'm gonna hurt him."

Wait, She thinks she is going to hurt him? What is she going to do?

"I like someone else." She whispers.

Wait, she likes someone other than Sam? Does she even like Sam?

"Do you even like Sam?" I ask softly. She nods quickly.

"Yes! Of course, I just like someone else more," she explains softly. I nod in understanding.

"You're gonna have to tell him," I say simply. She sighS.

"I know," she says and frowns. "I don't want to hurt him."

"Do you want me to talk to him?" I ask. She shrugs.

"I don't know. Which option would hurt less?"

"Whatever you want, it's up to you," I say.

"Here's your water," Sam says, putting the cup in front of Brianna. "And your root beer."

I look at Brianna and she's looking at Sam with a pained expression. She really doesn't want to hurt him.

"Sam?" I ask,  softly and he looks over at me.

"Yeah?"

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I look over at Brianna and she's smiling. "Alone?"

He nods. "Sure."

Brianna mouths a small 'thanks' and I nod before following him towards the corner.

"Look...Sam, I need to tell you something." I say to him and his eyebrows knit together in confusion. Then his eyes widen.

"You don't like me, do you?" He blurts out. I look at him and quickly shake my head. I can't even imagine me liking him.

"What, no no no," I say. "Something else."

"Well I want to tell you something too." He says softly. I look at him and his smile is sad.

"You go first," I say nervously. I do.t exactly want to speak first.

"Okay," he says and runs his fingers through his hair. "I-um...don't tell Brianna please?"

I nod.

"Well, I sorta....have a thing with my co-worker." He admits.

"Yeah I know, Brianna."

"No...Marissa."

Oh shit, I didn't see that coming.

I let out a long breath.

"Whew good." I say and he's confused. "Brianna likes someone else."

He doesn't even look surprised. Why the hell isn't he surprised?!!

"I already know, she's been not that much into our relationship. I sorta assumed it was something like that." He admits, and now I'm the one confused. "So who does she like?"

"Is it niall? Logan?" He asks raising an eyebrow. I shrug.

"She hasn't told me," I say honestly. I look over at Brianna and she's looking st the menu.

"You need to break up with her, you know," I tell him and he sighs.

"I know."

When we got back to the table, Brianna was already done her first glass of water.

"Dang someone's thirsty," I say and Sam smirks. "OH MY GOD NOT THAT WAS SAM SHUT UP!"

Brianna laughs and tells Sam what she wants. I don't even know what they have yet.

"How about you?"

"Come back later because I haven't even looked," I tell Sam and Brianna rolls her eyes.

"Okay," he says and leaves. Brianna hands me a menu and I look through it.

To be honest, I just put my finger on a random food and chose that.

"So what's did you guys talk about?" Brianna asks.

"I'm not telling you," I said plainly. She rolls her eyes.

"C'mon!" She begs and I shake my head.

Sam comes back and asks,"are you ready to order?"

I tell him the thing I chose and then he walks away.

About 15 minutes later we got our food and already ate it. We are pigs and we are proud.

We are about to leave when Sam stops us.

"What do you want?" I ask. I already know though. This is the time he breaks up with her, right?

He's silent.

"Brianna? I...I'm breaking up with you," he said, after a second of silence . She was shocked at first, and then nods her head.

"Okay, I understand." Then she turns about to leave. Sam grabs her arm and turns her back around to him. He then grabs her face and kisses her. As soon as his lips land on hers they are gone in Less than a second.

"Just...one last time," he whispers and kisses her cheek. Then he was gone.

"I don't care what you're thinking but that was so cute I'm gonna pee myself!" I exclaim and started breathing heavily. HOLY frick, that was adorable!

"Y..yeah. C'mon lets go," she says and pulls my arm. We walk out of the restaurant, and towards our car.

"You're still not going to tell me what happened with the Logan situation, are you?" She asks. I shrug.

"When we get home-"

I am interrupted by Brianna shouting towards a person walking on the street. The person is with a girl, who I recognize as Rebecca (Linda's daughter). Who's the other person?

"Logan!"

"Logan!"

His head quickly turns towards Brianna's voice. When he spots us he immediately smiles, but then he probably remembers our conversation. His grin lowers to a small smile. I hate how I'm most likely the reason for that.

"Hey Rebecca," I say smiling at her. She doesn't smile though. She glares, like she has been ever since I met her.

"Hey Alex, hey Brianna," she says through gritted teeth. I still don't understand why she dislikes me so much.

"Hey Brianna," Logan says and smiles towards her. "Alex," he adds nodding towards me. I hate how he's almost ignoring me.

I nod at him. "Logan."

Brianna notices our weird behaviour and frowns. "What happened to you guys?" She asks. Great, she knew I wasn't going to tell her yet, so she waits until Logan's here too.

"We got into an argument," Logan says and wraps an arm around Rebecca's waist. I flinch.

"So are you guys a thing now?" Brianna asks Logan and Rebecca. Rebecca nods quickly.

"Yes! Isn't that great?" She exclaims with a grin. I put on a forced smile.

"You guys look so...adorable together," I say and bite my tongue so I don't say anything else. Brianna nudges my side.

"Anyways, we better get going. We have to...go on our..evening walk," Brianna makes up and grabs my arm.

"See you guys later!" She yells over her shoulder. Thank you for cutting that conversation short.

"Bye," I hear Logan call back. When we get into the car Brian a automatically asks questions.

"What was the argument about? Wait was there actually an argument or did he make that up? Do you still like him? Are you okay with them together? I seriously hate Rebecca though, I don't know why." She says quickly, I can barely process her words.

"It wasn't exactly an...argument. It was a misunderstanding, I guess." I admit. It sort of was, since he 'liked' me and he thought I didn't like him.

"More details please!"

"Well," I start."He asked if I could go to dinner with him and I wanted to make sure it was just as friends. So yeah."

"That's what happened." I say. She frowns.

" You made him think you don't like him?" She confirms. I nod. "Well no wonder he's mad! He likes you, so he feels rejected."

"No he doesn't. He has Rebecca-"

"He's trying to make you jealous!! He is trying to get a reaction from you!" She exclaims. I shake my head.

"No, there's no way he could like me Brianna. Rebecca is prettier and skinnier and-"

"We aren't talking about damn Rebecca!" She says frustrated. "We are talking about you! You and Logan's feelings!"

"The only thing he feels for me is a friendly relation. He appreciates me being his friend and I don't think those feelings are the same as mine." I say softly.

"Alex," Brianna says sympathetically. "You need to stop being so insecure. You need to take chances, and go where your heart leads."

"Like how in your past relationships, your heart leads to heartbreakers? I don't exactly trust my heart-"

"You are using my past relationships as bad reasoning. My heart is jacked up, it doesn't know where it's leading," she says and chuckles.

"How about this new guy? Is your heart leading the right way for you now?"

Brianna sighs. "My life is different, the person I like-minded I have no chance with."

I shake my head. "No Brianna, you can date whoever because you are beautiful and have the best personality. There is no way this guy can't like you," I say truthfully.

"You don't understand," she says shaking her head."He is taken."

Oh, it makes sense now.

"May I ask who it is?"

Brianna sighs. She obviously doesn't want me to know. But I'm her best friend, I need to know.

"Zayn Malik. One direction. Girlfriend, Perrie Edwards. Little mix," and that's all she has to say for me to understand completely. My love life can't compete against hers. Logan might not like me, but Brianna has almost no chance. Zayn and Perrie are engaged. No wonder Brianna feels heartbroken.

"I," I hug her. "I am so sorry, Brianna."

"Its alright," she says and sniffles.

"It's my crazy hearts fault."
