Brandon had been wondering what to do after he had finished work. He had gone back to his apartment and saw that his sister was asleep on the couch. The girl was tired, and he could tell. She was always tired it seemed lately. After breaking up with her... hundredth "boytoy" Brandon couldn't see why the girl was so depressed about it. Maybe it was the fact that he had proposed to her. whatever it was, it was up to super brother Brandon to look after, and care for the wounds that the man had left behind. Even after so many years, it was Brandon that had to take care of his sister, who would probably be on the streets if it wasn't for him pushing her to be a better person.
It didn't matter now. He went over to her, picked her up, and began to walk over to her bedroom. He placed her gently into the bed, and pulled the covers over her, then exited. "Brandon" a voice called out. Brandon turned around, his bright eyes a little duller at the sound of his sister's depressed voice. "I'm sorry" was all she said, before turning her head and falling asleep. Brandon let out a gentle sigh. What was he to say to that. He just couldn't think of anything to the girl that shared his blood. "I know" he said in a whisper before exiting her room. He shut the door behind her. Why'd life have to be so hard. He let out another breath, walking into the kitchen and grabbing out steaks from the fridge. He didn't know what to do with them, feeling too tired to even cook.
So instead he stuffed them back into the fridge. He would go out to eat, and catch a movie. Not knowing anyone who he could invite last minute, he decided that this would be the perfect time to catch some alone time. Something he needed. He grabbed his coat, and put on a pair of Jordans that matched his outfit. He then exited, and got down using the stairs. His cellphone rang, looking at the number he saw it was his sister. Probably going to complain about being alone. So he stuffed the phone back into his pocket, since he couldn't take that right now. He got into his car, and drove to the cinema, reaching it in record time. He opened the door of the car, after sitting back in the warmth for a second.
He made his way up to the theatre, wondering what to watch, he made it inside seeing no line. That was a good thing. Now for a movie. Maybe the Zodiac? Hmm. "One ticket for the Zodiac" he said at the counter. He received his ticket and then made his way to theatre 9. Once he got inside he saw that previews were playing, but also that there was barely anyone there. Well that was good. Maybe 5-6 people scattered all throughout the theatre. He went to the very top, and took a seat near the middle, his favourite seat. He had grabbed popcorn on his way up. Grabbing a handful he put it into his mouth, wondering when the previews would end and they would finally get to the movie. He was getting impatient with the theatres always running previews for such a long time.

[Eh I hope you don't mind, but I've never seen Zodiac, so were just going to have to skip the whole thing. Or the movie. lol.] Liz was depressed now lately, her mind and emotions thinking of so many people, first there was Alexia who had told her about Dean. Dean is a flirt, he doesn't want a steady girlfriend...and don't get mad but we kissed. Why would he kiss Alexia? Not that she was pretty or anything, but she was, Alexia was beautiful, ugh she now got the guys because she was the younger one. Most guys around here liked the younger girls, in college especially because well for one thing they thought you were easy. But Alexia and Liz weren't that way, she grinned as she thought of that. They were both pretty smart girls, and beautiful, they just weren't the pushy type, or even the clingy. Liz hated how guys were these, yes she was seeing this other guy named Derrick Moretti, she had been sleeping with him for awhile now, she was a bad girl some of the time. She hated herself for that, but she couldn't help it if she wanted something every once in awhile, not all the time. Guys needed it every single three hours or so of the day, they pretty much thought about sex all day, which was how Dean was, maybe she could change him and make him a better person, but that would be one of most complicated goals, she just needed to talk to someone about him. Or about her. Elizabeth's was already confused to say. She walked down the street of the parking complex in the city area, in Huntley there was the cities Cinema. Liz turned off her phone, she just needed a place to relax and maybe watch a movie that she had been wanting to watch. Zodiac. Taking out her wallet from her Coach purse, she waited in line as she stood behind this cute guy. " One for Zodiac as well, at the same time," She told the clerk, it was a girl, and girls were fast when they worked at the theaters, guys were kinda slow. She yawned as she got her change and went towards the snack stand because she felt like a Vanilla Coke and some chocolate chip cookie dough bites. Yum. Smirking she went inside and waited in line as the previews was just starting, she ordered her drink and candy, then paid for both and went back towards her theater. Her change wasn't that much because now candies and drink were a bit expensive these days. Taking her things a few seconds later she looked at her watch and sighed, she was about five minutes left into the previews. " Thanks," She told the clerkstand person, then walking towards her theater, she went inside and it was dark as usual. She found a spot somewhat near the guy she spotted in the line. Then the movie commercial that had the cellphone on she forgot to turn it off, so she put her stuff down in the seat over, when there were like five or six people in the theater. Leaning the chair back she was relieved because now she was comfortable, she relaxed her legs on the other side, she usually got uncomfortable, but not this time. She smiled and the loud music of the theme came on, as she leaned her head back she watched the movie. {Eh sorry I've been distracted, and it's crappy. }

Brandon had gotten a drink when he had bought his popcorn, and it now was sitting in the cup holder. That girl that had bought a ticket after him was sitting maybe 2 or 3 seats away from him. He thought about making conversation with her. She seemed nice. But then the movie had started. It was about halfway through the movie, when Brandon was half done his popcorn that he was thirsty. Reaching for his drink, something happened in the movie that had made him jump and smack the drink out of the cup holder, and fall in the seats over. He looked over at the mess he created. Some of the drink having dropped on the seat where she had put her stuff. ”Oh shit! I’m so clumsy, I’m really sorry” Brandon said really quickly, getting up and wiping down everything with Tissues.
He just continued to wipe, muttering sorry over and over again. Someone down the aisle had complained. ”Shut up” Brandon told the person aggravated. He had never done something so stupid, and embarrassing before. He was just humiliated, and the normal calm Brandon had left. ”I really didn’t mean to” Brandon muttered over to the girl. ”Just the last scene. This is not usually how I am” he kept muttering. He hated when he made a fool of himself in front of beautiful girls. It was like he was a dim, unintelligent man who couldn’t even talk to girls properly. He just couldn’t.
Brandon was the shy guy type, and well this apologizing was as far as it was going to get with him. Most likely. Because he didn’t know what else to say. ”I can make up for anything I damaged!” Brandon said as suddenly a flashlight was shone on the two of them. ”Oh shit” Brandon muttered once again. He wasn’t liking the situation as it was moving on, and he could feel his heart racing. He was never in trouble. And never once was he kicked out of movie theatre… or ever talked during a movie. For god’s sakes he was never that clumsy to drop his drink onto someone else’s things.
[Sorry so crappy... don't have much muse. And sorry it took so long. I've been busy, and trying to sneak times to get on]

”Oh shit! I’m so clumsy, I’m really sorry,” Liz almost freaked out she couldn't believe this was happening, but wait a minute why was he saying sorry it was her fault she knocked into him. Oh god she had to apologize. ”Shut up,” The guy up front with his wife or whomever said that to them. She rolled her eyes at the person, "Look it's ok. Don't worry, I'm sure it will be fine...Don't worry about it ok? Just leave it, it will only get worse," She explained and the she knew the right words to say. Looking up she saw his face and then how he reacted, he was nervous as all hell.
”Just the last scene. This is not usually how I am,” She sighed, then she touched his arm and took the tissues away, "Listen, it's really ok...I'm not dirty, neither are you, it just got on the chairs and on our seats, I only have a few spots, they will dry....Don't worry ok? Please?"She said to him apologetically, at least he was being nice and decent about it. Then he suggested, ”I can make up for anything I damaged!” She smiled, "You really don't have too. It's more like if I can make up for anything for you," She said to him, she felt guilty too for bumping into his shoes. Why did guys have big feet? And wear big shoes? She sighed and looked around as there was still only 6 people in the theater, but the theater started to fill up after the last preview. So now technically there was at least 10 or 15.
Still not that much. ”Oh shit,” Then her phone rang, as he said that, she had forgotten to turn off the ringer, because she had gotten so distracted by the spill. The song "Stars are Blind," by Paris Hilton, shown, and Dean's picture came up, why was he calling her now? She shrugged, and ignored it. Crap. "Shit shit shit," She cursed, and hid her phone so the cute guy wouldn't see it. The guy with the flashlight looked at them, "Is there a problem here you two?" Liz shook her head, "No sir, I was just walking and I accidently bumped into his drink, it's not a problem, sorry for the confusion," She smiled at the security.
Lizzie looked back at the guy with the long blonde hair. Ek. "Sorry for everything," She mumbled and blushed a little, he was cute. "Look Miss, I'm sure everything here is fine, but this is a theater, and it did say you needed to be quiet, so I assume you will after this? I'm giving you guys a second chance. Don't blow it, I'll be back to check on you two later," The guy had said to them. Liz shook her head yes, "Yes sir, we will don't worry," She smiled then the guy gave one look at the guy next to Liz and left. Liz stood up for a minute, "Come on let's go towards the back, it's much better up there anyways in the front, I'm sorry all this happened," She explained to him, she really was a nice girl, and Liz would do anything to make up for things like this.
As the guy followed behind her she smirked, and sat down at one of the last seats in the back row. It was much quieter there and they could have a conversation, kinda. "I'm Liz by the way...And you look like you could use some relaxation. You ok over there?" She asked, she was concerned, because he seemed kinda shaky when he spilled the drink towards Liz, but that was before, this is now. She sat down comfortably this time, and waited for him to introduce himself.
{Sorry for the suckiness. lol!}
