Alexander’s POV
I’ve had enough, we were back home and I’m determined to tell Brandon everything “Brandon?Kate? can you both come into the living room please?” I yell out
Brandon strolls in unenthusiastic and plops himself down on the couch, I then see Kate come into the room, I can tell by her face she’s mortified but nothing is going to change my mind
“Brandon, you’re old enough now to know the truth about your Mother and I” I tell him calmly but assertively “Let me guess, you’re getting a divorce” Brandon says rolling his eyes and crossing his arms
I chime in before Kate can tell him differently “Yes Brandon, we’re divorcing” I say to him straight “Alexander, this isn’t fair!” Kate yells “How isn’t this fair Kate? Do you still love me? Tell our son how you really feel about me” I say to her, she shakes her head “No, I won’t do that to him”
I sigh “Kate, just be honest with Brandon, he deserves to know the truth and you…. you deserve to be happy as well” I watch as Kate’s eyes fill up with tears
I see the confusion written all over Brandon’s face, Kate is about to crack and I need her to, I’m not going to live this lie anymore
“I’m…. I’m…. in love with Susie” she mutters out her words, Brandon suddenly stands up in shock “WHAT!! she’s been coming around here for years…. Did you send Dad away because of this?” he yells
“No-o-o-o… I mean… I don’t know… It’s complicated” I see Kate panic “Brandon, we had to have space from each other, it’s no one’s fault, it’s just life turns out sometimes” I tell him, as much as I’m over the bullshit I don’t want my son to hate his mother
Brandon looks straight into Kate’s eyes “You’re a liar…. you lied to me for years and kept Dad away from me, I thought he left because of me” my heart breaks hearing those words “That was never true Brandon, I always wanted to be in your life” I tell him
“I can’t deal with this right now” I watch as Brandon grabs his keys, he rushes to the door, Kate yells out to him repeatedly but he keeps walking without looking back as he slams the front door
“If I’ve lost my son because of this I will never ever forgive you” Kate lunges over to me pointing her finger in my face, “You did this all on your own Kate, I’ll get in touch with our lawyers tomorrow, I want a quick divorce” I tell her as I walk off out of the house as well
Brandon’s POV
I feel like everything I ever thought about my parents was a lie, I always thought Mom was this sweet housewife who waited for her husband to return from work and I thought Dad was this selfish prick who never wanted to be near us, I don’t know how I could be so naive, looking back over the years of course Mom and Susie were fooling around, it’s so obvious now, I guess back then I would never have thought it was possible
I needed to be with the one person who could understand all this shit…. Sienna, it’s late so I drive up to her house and text her to meet me downstairs, she let’s me in and we go up to her bedroom trying our best not to disturb her parents
“You knew all a long didn’t you?” I say to her “I only found out in Mexico, I guess that’s how Alexander and I became close, I listened to him when he felt he had no one to talk to”
Sienna’s POV
I know it might hurt him for me to say out loud that Alexander and I were close but he has been lied to enough, I wasn’t going to hold back
“I know what it’s like to have people close lie to you but I guess the conclusion I’ve come to is that sometimes people think they’re doing the right thing when they’re not, it doesn’t make it right but the pain caused isn’t intentional and I think that’s true is this case” I tell him trying to give him some comfort
“I get it, I get what you’re saying, it’s just such a mind fuck” he says letting out a big sigh “Can I stay here tonight Boo?” he asks “As long as you behave” I say to him smirking raising my eyebrow
He moves onto my bed and lays down, his arm is open requesting I snuggle into him which I do, he then wraps both arms around me as he places a small kiss on my forehead “I wish I didn’t fuck up things with you Sienna, I never knew how much I needed you” he whispers
“I’m here Brandon” I tell him, I feel him smile above me “By the way Boo I got into UCLA, how great is that?” he says excitedly “That’s so amazing B, congrats” I say squeezing him tight, I didn’t have the heart to tell him tonight that I got into Columbia… I’ll most likely be moving to New York
2 weeks later
Brandon had been doing a lot better with the situation between his parents, he’s rebuilding his relationship with both of them, hence why I couldn’t contact Alexander, I thought about him a lot and I wondered if he thinks about me too, I couldn’t get those feelings out of my mind of that night we spent together, just to feel that way again I’d do nearly anything as selfish as it sounds
I look down at my phone and it’s Brandon calling me “Hey, what’s up?” I answer “Boo, Jack and Milla have rented out a huge beach house for next weekend, please say you’re coming with me Boo?” he says excitedly “Ah sorry, wish I could, I have to go to New York for my cousin Scarlet’s wedding” I reply “Aww New York? damn it, agh, okay, well you still up for getting a juice with me?” he asks “Sure, come over when you’re ready” I tell him
Alexander’s POV
I overhear Brandon speaking on the phone to Sienna, calling her ‘Boo’ gave it away, “Brandon, I want to speak to Owen about something, are you taking Sienna out of the house?” I ask him
“Yeah, I’ll take her out for a few hours, just make sure you’re gone when we get back” he snarls, I haven’t seen Sienna since Mexico, it was torture
When Brandon and I had that fight about Sienna he asked me to stay away from her and to help him get back with her or else he would tell Owen, I told him that because he’s my son I’d stay away from her but in no way was I helping them get back together, Sienna doesn’t need to be fooled again
She consumed my mind, I felt like everything is so unfinished with us, I need proper closure, hence why I’m going over to the house, I had a thought about how to get this closure
Sienna’s POV
One week later
I still hadn’t told anyone about Columbia yet, I wanted to visit the school first before I fully commit, I had flown into New York a few days earlier so I could do that, Scarlet and Jean-Marc paid for my hotel room for the entire stay, it was the same hotel where she’s having her wedding, It was crazy to think Scarlet was getting married, she was only a few years older then me, I haven’t met her fiance yet but I heard he’s a bit older….. hmm….. must run in the family
Once in New York I get settled in before making my way over to the university, as soon as I stepped onto the campus grounds I knew it was where I was meant to be, I took a tour of the building and spoke with a few of the current staff and students, some of the students I spoke to were taking the same course, they loved it and already so did I
I arrive back at the hotel knowing I’m going to have to tell everyone when I get back home that I’m moving to NYC, it was not going to be a welcome conversation
The next day I get ready for the wedding, knowing Scarlet this wedding was going to be damn elegant so I put on my best black dress with sparkly belt, I feel confident in this dress, time to rock that wedding
I get to the reception on the rooftop and see Aunt Betty greeting guests, “Sienna Sweetheart! I’m so glad you’re here” she squishes me into a big hug “Me too Aunt Betty, wow this is so beautiful, you must be so happy” I say to her “My little girl is getting married and to such a wonderful man, Scarlet is glowing she’s so happy, it’s all I’ve ever wanted” I see Aunt Betty start to tear up, it was so freaking sweet
Aunt Betty clears her throat and composes herself “Anyway Sienna, you’re sitting in the third row on the left, I believe your date has already arrived” she tells me “Oh, er… no, I’m here alone” I tell her confused trying my best to see who’s in the third row
“I don’t think so Dear” she smiles at me “It will be our little secret for now” She whispers into my ear
I walk up the aisle until our eyes meet…… Alexander
