[color=powderblue][b][i]Is it really stealing if you wanted someone to have it?[/i][/b][/color] she asked herself silently, her face a mask of melancholy and thought. Looking up into James' face, she bit her lip. He made her nervous. So, so, so nervous. She shook her head. [color=powderblue][b][i]It's just like ripping off a band-aid[/i][/b][/color] she thought, taking a deep breath. [color=red][b]"I think we need to end this,"[/b][/color] James said, before Brenna could even open up her mouth. Her breath left her. Her eyes grew wide with shock. [color=powderblue][b]"Wha-what?"[/b][/color] she managed to eke out of her trembling lips. Was this real? He was leaving her? Her? [color=red][b]"Brenna, it's not you. You're perfect, it's just...it's Gia. This whole thing has gotten too out of hand. It's too much for me, and I can't stand by you while you go down this path,"[/b][/color] James said, his voice trembling slightly. Brenna backed up from him, more out of instinct than reason. She couldn't be near him right now, and her brain knew this. Her breathing was becoming more rapid as her brain processed the things he said, as her eyes began to well up with tears. [color=powderblue][b]"You can't do this,"[/b][/color] she whispered, her breath turning to a cloud of mist that hung in front of her face as the room grew steadily colder, so much so that James, not prepared for a flash freeze was shivering. [color=powderblue][b]"You can't do this!"[/b][/color] she shouted this time, her scream sending James stepping back this time. Her hand curled into a fist and slammed down on her desk, tears streaming down her face, her sobs growing louder. [color=powderblue][b]"You're just like the rest of them! You're a coward! Gia is fighting prejudice! We're fighting the judgement they've been heaping onto us since day one! And you're too afraid to change things! You bastard!"[/b][/color] Her voice broke on the last scream, and everything she'd been trying to hold back came flooding forth, and she collapsed in a mess of tears and sobs. [color=red][b]"Brenna, wait,"[/b][/color] but Brenna cut him off. Once more he began, trying to speak over the spiraling mess that was Brenna Lancaster. [color=red][b]"Gia isn't fighting any prejudice! What she did to Avalon and Will at that party was wrong! And she's going to drag you down to her level!"[/b][/color] [color=powderblue][b]"Get out! Get out! Get out, get out, get out!"[/b][/color] Brenna shrieked, and James fled the room. Brenna wasn't sure how long she sat there, but it was long enough for her tears to dry, leaving her eyes red and swollen. She sniffled as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was a mess. Why though? She had only been flirting with James for a month or so. They hadn't even been dating. [color=powderblue][b][i]But you'd wanted to[/i][/b][/color] she thought. That was it. She hadn't been close with anyone in so long, hadn't entertained the idea of a boyfriend, of someone to hold in so long. And she'd let the thought infect her, make her wake. Well, she wouldn't make that mistake again. From now on, she'd be the Snow Queen they all knew her to be. She'd be as cold as ice.
