• He had stirred when the door opened, but only groaned in quiet irritation at being disturbed - the exact realization not hitting until the moment just before Brandon called his name. "Shit, shit, shit..." He muttered, crawling out of bed and pulling on his boxers and jeans, kissing her forehead quickly before ducking out of the door - closing her door behind him. "Brandon.." (NT) -- Ryan, 11:08:38 06/25/04 Fri

• Stacie never was one for waking up at much, so she just shifted in the bed, yawning before she cuddled farther into the bed. Brandon was heading into the kitchen, running a hand down his face. "Tell...tell me you were not just laying naked in bed with my baby sister." (NT) -- Brandon, 11:11:32 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• Grimacing at that, he followed his friend, a hand brushing through his hair. "Uh... Man.." (NT) -- Ryan, 11:12:43 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• "No, no, don't uh me. Just tell you weren't, and I'll pretend I didn't see it and I will be well and good." He took out a beer - fully knowing it was 10 a.m. in the morning but he needed something to chill him out. (NT) -- Stacie, 11:16:01 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He tugged the drink from his friend's hands and tucked it back into the fridge, patting the other man's shoulder. "I'm sorry you had to see that..." (NT) -- Ryan, 11:17:13 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He frowned at him taking away his beer. "I just..." He ran a hand over his head, letting out a breath. "You know your my best friend here Ry, you know this right?" He tilted his head. "I just don't...I don't want her hurt again you know?" (NT) -- Stacie, 11:18:53 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• Exhaling quietly, he nodded a touch, though a brow raised. "I know... And I don't know what it means, or what's going to happen..." (NT) -- Ryan, 11:21:10 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He frowned heavily, shaking his head. "This is fucked up..." he frowned heavily, going back to the fridge and getting his beer back without thinking about it. (NT) -- Brandon, 11:22:42 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• "Put the drink away, buddy." He shook his head a touch, voice soft. "I hate to break it to you - and this definitely goes beyond what best friends shoud discuss about little sisters - but we were together for a long time before we split... This isn't the first time..." It was really only messed up because she was supposed to be engaged - but even that was a little iffy. (NT) -- Ryan, 11:25:17 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He groaned, shaking his head. "I don't want to hear this." He frowned softly, shaking his head. "So what are you going to do when her fiance wants her back? Let her go? Or maybe send her away like you did last time." he didn't mean to be harsh, it was just he had been there through the whole thing with her. He knew it wasn't their first time, it was just weird seeing them together..like that... (NT) -- Brandon, 11:28:17 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He straightened a touch at that, brows furrowing as his arms crossed over his chest. "Send her away again? Yes, because I was the one who put my buddy in bed with her and it was all my fault." (NT) -- Ryan, 11:31:27 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He frowned softly, they had never talked about this because he didn't think it was any of his business but since it was all coming out now. "I like when she does it, it's a mortal sin, but when you were screwin' around on her, it was no big deal." He shook his head. "Did you think it was some kind of secret man? She knew. Your friends told her...what did you want her to do?" (NT) -- Brandon, 11:34:36 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• That floored him - the completely unexpected surprise echoed in the shocked tone of his low voice. "What? I never cheated on her, Brandon. The idea of infidelity never even crossed my mind until I walked in on her." He didn't remember much about that day - other than the yelling and the screaming, he knew that he had hit the other guy, and was pretty sure he had even cried. (NT) -- Ryan, 11:38:50 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He frowned softly, shaking his head. "Thats not what everyone was sayin' man, I was ever you two's place one night even, and one of her girlfriends was talking about how you were sleeping around..." He shook his head. "She put up with it for like...3 weeks man...hearing it constantly." (NT) -- Brandon, 11:42:05 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He shook his head, running his fingers through his hair - he wouldn't be able to hear this for much longer. "Great friends I had. No one ever said a thing to me... Everyone's pretty quick to chat, except when it comes to confrontations. What a joke." (NT) -- Ryan, 11:45:14 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He shook his head. "I never once said anything to anyone about you two man, I've never gotten involved." He shook his head. "But I can tell you this now - it fucking killed her everytime you walked out that door and didn't come back for half the night." (NT) -- Brandon, 11:46:42 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• "You knew though, Brandon, what everyone was saying and you never said anything to me. And that says a lot about her - the fact that she was hearing all these things, never once said anything to me, and then went and slept with my best friend." Suddenly he was doubting everyone he had ever spent any time with growing up. (NT) -- Ry, 11:49:01 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He shook his head. "This is why I don't get involved Ryan, because there's so many sides, and so many excuses. I could say that she should have talked to you, that it was wrong of her to jump to conclusions. I could also say that why would she say anything when you were running out and around every night.." He shook his head. "To many stories, to many excuses..." He shook his head once more. "To many tears man." (NT) -- Brandon, 11:51:37 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• "You're telling me, Brandon." He muttered and ran a hand down his face. He pushed off the kitchen counter and let himself wordlessly back into her room to pull on his tee and was shrugging on his black zip-up hoodie when he returned to the kitchen to grab his keys. (NT) -- Ry, 11:54:03 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He frowned, closing his eyes softly and leaning against the wall - letting out a soft breath. "Where are you going?" (NT) -- Brandon, 11:54:49 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• "You know.. I popped painkillers hourly for the first year, thinking that maybe they would help the crushing ache in my chest. And I cried over those divorce papers for months.. I didn't date for nearly two and a half years. If she had only talked to me..." He shook his head - pretty sure he couldn't handle reliving it over again. (NT) -- Ryan, 11:58:21 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• "If you had only stayed home and talked to her " He emphasized,shaking his head. "When are you both gonna stop throwin' blame around?" (NT) -- Brandon, 11:59:36 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• "When everyone stops blaming me, maybe I'll think about letting some things go." Hell, even his parents found some way to blame things on him when they felt the need to bring Stacie up a couple times each year. And Brandon, despite preaching about stopping the blame-game seemed to blame him. He headed for the door then, fidgetting with his keys. (NT) -- Ryan, 12:02:44 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He shook his head, knowing his friend well enough to know what he was thinking. "I'm not blaming you Ryan, Obviously, stacie doesn't blame you, and man, our parents practically disowned her when they found out." (NT) -- Brandon, 12:04:42 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He paused at the door, his dark eyes on the door handle for a long moment before he shook his head. "That's not what it sounds like Brandon... And I really just can't go through this again." (NT) -- Ryan, 12:06:28 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• She paused at the door of the bedroom, stepping out into the hallway just long enough to hear his words and meet his eyes for a second that seemed like an eternity to her. She let out a soft breath, turning and going back into her room, shutting the door behind her. Brandon just shook his head, for real taking that beer this time His eyes went to the stacie's closed door before they went back to him. "I don't blame you." (NT) -- Branodn, 12:08:52 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• "I'll keep it that in mind." He murmured but shook his head slightly, trying not to think about what Stacie must be thinking. "For once though, I'm looking out for myself." No more putting himself out there, or taking risks, or doing anything that could potentially end up in him with a broken heart. (NT) -- Ryan, 12:12:02 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• She was getting dressed, and slowly folding up her clothes and putting them in her suitcase... He nodded a bit, cracking open the beer and letting out a breath. "Everyone's gotta do that sometime in life..." He felt that they were both making huge mistakes, but he'd gotten far enough involved as it was. (NT) -- Brandon, 12:14:03 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He almost told his friend to take care of himself, but held off and just stepped out of the apartment - still too angry, too upset, and too hurt to do anything else.. (NT) -- Ryan, 12:15:48 06/25/04 Fri

  ---

• He sighed softly, watchng his friend go before he finished off his beer and headed to check on his sister. (NT) -- Brandon, 12:16:48 06/25/04 Fri
