Not a bad thing

Brian’s POV
I woke up that morning because I heard someone at the door. First a soft knock and then some fidgeting outside. My body hurt, but my head was surprisingly clear. This couch was comfortable, but not for sleeping on it a whole night. Or well, morning. What was the time anyway? I looked at the large clock that Izzie had hanging in her living room. 1.30 pm? Hmm that seems to fit the level of tiredness in my body. I heard a key in the door and then the sound of someone entering. “Izzie you up? If I find you in bed with my future husband, I will be very very very mad at you. Ah, well at least for an hour or so!” I chuckled a little lying on the couch. That must be her friend from last night. Was she referring to me as her future husband now? I heard her walking into the living room, the back of the couch was facing the living room entrance, so she couldn’t see me lying there. I listened carefully of her walking towards the bedroom “Izzie, I’m coming in, you better cover yourselves up”. This seemed like the right time to let her know I’m here. I got up from the couch quietly. “Looking for me?”

The girl screeched “whaaa, you scared me half to death!”, she turned around quickly. Her jaw fell open and her eyes enlarged 4 sizes. Oops, I forgot I took my shirt of last night. I was standing there, only wearing my boxers. Oh well, I normally wore a lot less clothes around girls like her. Damn she looked good! Izzie’s bedroom door opened and a sleepy looking Izzie came out. “Ugh, can you be quiet? You are way too loud” She looked at me, and then at her friend. “Lynn, put your tongue back in your mouth and close it. Brian, put on some clothes, no one’s interested in seeing you naked around here.” I looked at Lynn, who was still staring at me. “She doesn’t seem to mind” Lynn and I were caught up in a staring contest. Her eyes were filled with questions, but the questions were making room for something else. I recognised it. It was lust. She WAS referring to me earlier. Damn. “Don’t even think about it, Bri” Izzie walked towards me, picking my shirt up from the ground, throwing it at me. Lynn was lost of words and somehow I wasn’t able to be my own witty self. “I’m going to make us some lunch, you want to stay Lynn?” Izzie walked over to the kitchen. “Can I take a shower, Izz? Maybe take Lynn with me? She looks like she could use a cold shower” I grinned. Ha! There it was again. Witty me, I’m glad you are back. “Of course you can take a shower, Bri, through that door, on the left. But Lynn stays here with me. She needs to, uh, give first aid when I cut myself slicing the bread” Izzie looked at me with annoyingly big smile, Lynn just looked disappointed. Yeah she wanted me. Synyster Gates gets all the women wet in their panties. I grabbed my clothes and walked back to the bathroom, not even trying to make it quick. Let them look, I have a fine ass.

Izzie’s POV
“Lynn. Lynn!” I snapped my fingers in front of her face. “Stop drooling and attention to me please!” Lynn turned her face at me, big smile on it. “What happened, how did Synyster Gates, aka Brian Haner aka Your secret old best friend ended up sleeping on your couch?! When I left you two, you were so uncomfortable around each other, I didn’t think you would be able to make 2 whole sentences.” I smiled. “We talked all night. I wanted to leave the club, but he asked me if we could talk a little longer, so I took him to my house and we did. It is so nice to have him back in my life again, I missed him so much.” I started to slice bread, got some things out of the fridge to make us some bad ass sandwiches. “So you guys were full closure? Have you told him everything? Does he know about Chris?” I felt my cheeks turn red and I shook my head a little. “Izzie, you have to tell him. He won’t be very pleased if he finds out you were about to marry the guy who took your virginity and then left you right away. Hell, I was too shocked to be mad when I heard the story last night, as I only the know the left-you-at-the-altar Chris, but come on Izzie! That’s a big thing!” I sighed. “I know. But I just got him back, I don’t know what he will do when I tell him, and I just want him around for a while”. We heard the shower stop. “Ow well, just tell him! And in the meantime, if you guys are really going to be friends again, you are going to set me up for a date with him. Damn, he is even hotter close by. You should totally help you best friend out” Lynn had a big grin on her face. I shook my head. “You told me yourself, he’s doing girls like t-shirts, every day a new one, some day maybe even a mid of the day change of clothes. I’m not going to set you up with him for a one night stand. Is that really what you want?” Lynn looked at me. She had a big mouth, but I know I’m right. She’s not the one to have one night stands. It’s just not her.

Brian walked back into the living room, sitting down on a stool at the kitchen counter next to Lynn. He was fully clothed now, only his feet were bare. His hair was still wet and his cocky Mohawk from yesterday was gone. “I need a hat. I can’t go out like this. It’s bad enough I have to show you guys this hair” he complained. “I’ve seen way worse Bri, don’t be stupid” He looked at Lynn “But your friend hasn’t, how’s my first impression now on this beautiful girl? Who you still haven’t introduced me to properly, by the way” Brian got his game on, he hadn’t changed a bit in that department. “Lynn, Brian. Brian, Lynn” I quickly said, while building the sandwiches. Lynn put out her hand to Brian, Brian took it and placed a kiss on it. Iew someone please give me a bucket, I’m going to puke. I sighed and shook my head a little. Brian and Lynn both looked at me with a smile on their faces. I don’t know if I like this. Lynn had been hurt in the past. Hurt bad. She has this great wall around her, but Brian seemed to break down that wall by only smiling at her. I wanted to know if Brian had changed. If he still was this quickly distracted womanizer I don’t want him near her. I served them their sandwiches and coffee. We could all use coffee.

Brian’s phone went off. He must have turned it on just now, because I haven’t heard it all night or morning. “I’m sorry. I have to take this” Brian held up his hands apologising and walked towards the porch. “Hi Z, what’s up? Uh, I can’t really talk now. No, it’s not like that. Yeah, I will explain later. I totally forgot! Could you maybe pick me up? Ah, thanks for nothing dude, I will call Lizzy then. See you in a bit” Brian got the phone of his ear and started to look for another number right away “Lizzy! I need you! Please come over!” I smiled when I heard him say these words. I can’t count the number of times he said those words to me when we were younger. Most of the times that would lead to my next sniper job. He hadn’t changed a bit apparently. But then again, there was no sniper job to be done today. “Okay, I’ll see you in ten. Ow and Lizzy. Please bring my beanie. Yes, the one that’s still lying at your apartment, because you need something of me with you all the time to show the fans you are really my best friend” He laughed “Yeah I love you too, see you in a bit”. Brian hung up and started to grab his socks and shoes.

“Izzie, I have to go. I totally forgot we have this interview today, as an end of the tour kinda thing. But I really want to see you soon again, maybe we can have breakfast tomorrow? You can tell me all about the ass who left you at the altar?” I looked at him. Maybe I should tell him now. He had his shoes on, and came over, quickly getting another few bites of his sandwich. “This is really good Iz, you are a great cook. I’m really sorry I have to go” He took my phone, put his number in, gave me his phone to put my number in and hugged me. “Please call me okay, I want to see you tomorrow.” He started to walk for the door. Just before he opened it he suddenly turned around “I will throw a BBQ tomorrow. You can meet Lizzy and the guys. It would be so much fun! You should come too, Lynn” and then he was gone.

I looked out of the window and saw a car pull over. Elisabeth got out, hugged Brian and looked at him closely. Then she threw an ugly stare at the window. That woman was mad at me for some reason, I don’t even know why. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to be at a party with her. At least I will have Lynn me, that is if she doesn’t fall into Brian’s arms right away. I sighed deeply. It has been an eventful 24 hours.


Lizzy’s POV
I looked at Brian closely. He looked okay. Maybe she played nice for this first meeting. I was sure she was going to break his heart again, once he was friends with her again. I looked at her window angrily. There she was. I never even met her, but I hate her already. Brian hit the back of my head “I saw that! What did Izzie do to deserve such looks from you?” I looked a Brian, while we both got in the car. “Brian, she broke your heart. You have been a mess the past months. We’re all worried about you and now Izzie is back into your life. She will probably hurt you again. Don’t you understand? I don’t want to clean you up again, it was hard seeing you like that when Jimmy died.... Speaking about Jimmy. She didn’t even come back for his funeral and you forgave her for that?!” Brian looked at me and smiled. He bend over to kiss my cheek. “I love you for being worried about me, but I’m fine. I missed her a lot and this morning, even though I had way to little sleep, I wanted to get out of bed again. Seeing what the day would bring me. Don’t think about Jimmy first” He looked a little sad, just like always when he talked about Jimmy, but his look had changed. I could see that too.

“Please, let’s go. I will tell you everything while we’re driving” I started the car, while Brian began to tell me about the night he had with Izzie. About them talking all night, about the kiss they shared this morning and how he hadn’t felt anything but friendship. He looked really happy and to be honest, now he told me why she missed the funeral and him leaving her at college, she doesn’t seem that bad anymore. Maybe she is nice. She had been Brian’s best friend after all. There must be something good about her. “Ow and Lizzy. Her best friend is hot! You have to help me with that. She will be coming too tomorrow. We need to find out if she likes me” I smiled, he found a new one, just by hanging out at a house. He’s something alright, starting a new quest already. I thought about my own quest from last night. I was hesitant to see Zacky again. What if it’s weird between us? I only had a few minutes to think about it. We were at the radio station and they were all waiting for us. I took a deep breath and got out of the car.
