Chapter 47 The Ugly Truth

• I tried to block out my thoughts as I walked along the road, feeling truly distressed and trying to calm myself down, which wasn't easy because a list of possibilities ran through my head - who could that girl be, and why was Brandon looking for me today, at this hour? The fact that he had his phone turned off or wasn't near it to answer didn't help, but... wait a minute, didn't I download it a while ago? I had just used it a lot and then went out with my friends.
• I don't even have to reach his apartment because I see him in the distance, near his car, in the parking lot, talking to... my sister, my sister? Fernanda? Was that the woman with him? Damn, now I'm more lost than ever. My sister and Brandon? I never saw that coming. It's a bit dark and they are standing to the side of the parking lot, near Brandon's car. It seems like a heated argument. I park far away and walk towards them, neither of them sees me, they have their backs turned and don't hear me. I position myself behind a car and listen to them shouting... especially him. Suddenly they turn to the side, constantly moving, as if they can't stay still, especially him.
• I had never seen him like this before, he's disheveled and pacing back and forth while waving his hands a few steps away from her. After listening for a few seconds, I wish I hadn't come. In this case, reality slapped me hard and clear as I listened to Brandon and my sister arguing.
