Chapter 27 of QUIRKS!

((Kevin’s POV))

It was a few days after the Ellen interview, and I kept calling Bridget but she wasn’t answering her phone. I sighed and decided to go to the mall with my fiancé’ and Nick. I guess Joe was still depressed after finding out I had spoken to an old friend of his again. One who broke his heart, leaving Joe to wallow in the scattered pieces surrounding him…

“Bobbie is complaining about the disguises again.” Nick said as we walked through the mall. I couldn’t help but laugh.

“She doesn’t have to wear one Nick.”

“But I have to!”

“So do I, we’re famous, she’s not, let it alone and don’t force her to wear it then. Gosh.” I laughed, pulling Bobbie to me and kissing her before we began our shopiscade of today.

((Joe’s POV))

Everything seemed okay; I had slept most of today, not really feeling up for anything. I let out a deep sigh as I heard my computer go off.

Session Close (NoFroJoBro8000): signed out

((Bee’s POV))

I watched the nightfall upon me as the engine hummed onward. My grip on the steering wheel didn’t loosen, and my heart began to break even more. Tyler left years ago, and it broke Joe’s heart. They were so close…and now, I was doing what he did, leaving without an explanation.

“I took the wrong turn didn’t I…” I grumbled as I looked at the map again before looking at the road signs. I found the off ramp, headed into Georgia, and made my way towards the second town after at Atlanta. Didn’t take me long to find the adresss, and I pulled up, in the rain, got out of my car and walked to his front door.

I knocked twice and waited. I half expected his mother to answer but she didn’t, instead I was met with a shorthaired, talk, very attractive male. I almost questioned who he was until I recognized those large green eyes staring deep into mine with shock, fear, and concern. My eyes welled up with tears and I collapsed into his arms.

“Holy, shit Bridge what are you doing here?”

I told him everything.

I fell asleep that night, and the only thing I could think about, was Nick.

A/N: THE END!...for now
