Maggie glanced over to Amber, and gave her a look of not knowing. But at the mention of a second inhaler, Brad quickly rand off unexpectedly. Lucas shut his phone off looking over at Amber. "She already used it. I haven't had time to get a replacement." He told her, running a hand through his hair. "But I think Brad might."
"so she needs she just needs her inhaler and she'll be fine" she said
Maggie stood up from her kneeling position, and reached out to take the inhaler from Amber. "Kaylee, you didn't check it first?" She asked her, noting that it really was empty. "I-I didn't know… I just- I'm not you, Maggie." Kaylee mumbled, stepping back out of embarrassment for overreacting. As she did, Brad came back with her extra inhaler. "Here, I got it."
Caroline was heavily breathing when he got it to her she took it taking a few deep breaths and tossing her head to the side to lean against the back of the chair
(I'm sorry for not responding. I'm just not really sure where to go with this.)
(oh tonight could be the night of the eclipse you know where they get their strange powers)
(I- but what about Chelsea already having one?)
(she could've been born with it)
(I mean sure. I guess that works. I still don't know what to write for now.)
Caroline looked up at everyone "sorry guys " she said before looking at Brad with a 'we need to talk' look
The group collectively let out a deep breath, before slowly returning to their previous tasks. When they did, Brad quietly sat down besides her. He wasn't smiling, and didn't look very happy. He kept his distance from her when he had sit down across from her.
"Brad. . ." She said
Glancing up at her, he showed that he was paying attention. He didn't say a word though. Brad was still worried that she was scared of him.
She sighed softly " I had a double date with arrow Kaylee and Lucas Arrow was flirting with another girl so I got and used the bathroom when I came back he had her on a booth and they were intensely making out" she said
Brad tried to drown out anything he was feeling, and tried to be sympathetic to her. "You didn't have to tell me." He insisted, keeping his voice quiet. "You never had to. I'm sorry that happened, and that I'm always bugging you about everything."
"you're not and you don't have to feel sorry for me you don't even have to care about me" she said
Leaning back in his seat, he rubbed his face with a weak sigh. "I do care. I care about you a lot… which can lead to me pushing. Pushing for things you don't want to talk about. And then it turns into a fight. And then I feel like a jerk for getting upset with you." Brad mumbled, peering at her through his fingers.
She leaned forward taking his hands from his face and holding them "I love you and that will never change okay? But I'm an
ill insecure girl" she said
Nodding weakly, he tilted his head down so he wasn't looking up at her. "I know that…" He told her weakly, running his thumb over her hand. "I guess I'm just as insecure, though…"
She leaned down to kiss his hands that were in hers
Brad lifted his hands to make it easier for her. "I'm sorry… I really do love you. I always will." He whispered, giving her hands a gentle squeeze.
"I know babe" she said
"You're not mad… or scared of me?" Brad asked her weakly, lifting his head up just barely. He looked worried to hear the answer. And that he was. If she was mad or scared of him, he wouldn't forgive himself for that fact.
"of course I'm not scared of you Brad I'm not even mad at you it was just a painful memory that I don't want to explore but let me ask you something… Do you still want to marry me?" She asked
He felt a weight lifted off his shoulders, and let a weak sigh out. "Yes, I do. I want to marry you, and love you. I want to be your only love. Forever." Brad told her, biting on his lower lip. "I love you."
She smiled "I love you too baby" she said
Brad stood up, and went to gently pull her up close to him. "I love you a lot more than I can put into words." He whispered, bringing her close.
She braced her hands against his chest to keep her balance
Gently he kissed the top of her head, and held on to her waist. "You feeling alright?"
She nodded "I'm perfect" she said happily
