One More Chance (Part 2)(4)
“A scary movie and a comedy,” he says.
“Comedy,” Quinn and I say in unison causing Brody to laugh.
“You two are a bunch of chicken shits,” he says as he grabs two slices of pizza and throws them on his plate.
“So what,” I say as I take a bite of my pizza.
“Maybe during the day,” Quinn says before grabbing her slice.
“Have you heard from Kenzie?” I ask Brody.
“Actually yeah, she texted me today, why, did she text you too?”
“No, I was just curious.”
“She wants to come visit.”
“What?” Quinn and I yell in unison.
“I don’t know, some shit about missing me and wanting to see you.”
“Do you want to see her?” Quinn asks to no one in particular.
“Honestly, it makes no difference to me. I’m not getting back with her,” Brody says. “How about you?” he asks as he looks at me.
“I guess, I mean she is my sister and we used to be close. If she could get her shit together and stop messing shit up then yes, I’d love nothing more than to be like we used to be,” I answer truthfully.
“Do you see that happening?” Brody asks with a knowing look.
“Probably not. Wishful thinking I guess.”
“If she comes and causes any trouble, I’ll send her ass home,” Quinn says not holding back.
“She’s not staying here,” I say quickly.
“She’s not staying with me either,” Brody states.
“Okay then, maybe she won’t come,” Quinn says happily before resuming eating her pizza.
We spend the rest of the evening watching the comedy that Brody brought over and then we talk until we pass out.
“Holy shit, I’m glad it’s Friday,” Quinn says as she heads out for class. Brody ended up spending the night last night and slept in one of the spare bedrooms. “Is Brody still here?”
“No, he left about thirty minutes ago.”
“Oh, okay.”
“Why?”
“Just curious. I’ll see you later,” she says as she heads out the door.
I finish getting ready and head out to a busy day of classes. As soon as I hit the grass on campus, I can see people whispering and obviously something’s going on; I just don’t know what. Luckily for me, I’m sure it won’t take too long to find out.
Thinking I’ll hear what’s going on during my first class, I’m highly disappointed. No one was talking. After class, I head out and have fifteen minutes until I need to be in my next class.
“Holy shit, there you are,” Rebecca says as she runs towards me.
“What’s wrong?” I ask as she breathing heavy.
“Have you heard?” she asks with a worried look.
“No, but I know something’s going on. What’s up?” I ask as she tries to catch her breath.
“Liam, he’s going to be on campus today,” she blurts out.
“Why?” I ask, trying to decide if I’m happy or sad with the news.
“Some college interview thing.”
“Okay, well I need to get to class,” I say, playing the new found information off as nothing.
“Are you okay?” she asks, looking extremely concerned.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I won’t see him anyway. I’ll catch you later,” I say as I head towards my next class; it’s an English course, which isn’t much fun.
Once my classes are done for the day, I couldn’t be more pissed off. I walk into the house and throw my bags down.
“Shit, you heard about Liam coming today didn’t you?” Quinn asks, obviously able to tell I’m pissed off.
“Yeah, I heard about it,” I gripe.
“At least you won’t have to see him.”
“Wrong.”
“What?” she asks confused.
“My stupid English professor is making us go tonight, to watch a real, live interview process.”
“Seriously?”
“Yep. I’m so pissed, yet I’m not.”
“I’ll come with you.”
“You don’t have to. I’m going to stand in the back hopefully.”
“That’s fine, we’ll go together. I’m sure Brody will come too.”
“Yeah, cause that will go over real well.”
“It’s already a shitty situation. When do we have to be there?”
“It starts at six, but we have to get there early, because not everyone can get in.”
“We’ll leave around five-thirty then?”
“Works for me. If we can’t get in, I won’t be upset,” I admit.
“Are you sure?” she asks with an inquisitive look.
“I mean I’d love to see him, but I don’t know if that would be good for me. I’m actually doing better now, I can’t go backwards.”
