Contagious Chemistry TEN

TEN
I swing the latest issue of ELLE into my shopping basket, and scan through the other magazine racks. You can call me a fashion magazine junkie because I would characterize myself as that too. Here I've been in Ralphs for the past 15 minutes, and the only item I've picked up is a magazine. I sigh remembering what brought me here as I look down at my brother's scrawny handwriting, detailing what groceries must be acquired. I make my way out the 3rd aisle and escort myself to the milk section, where I take up two gallons. I turn and crash into a shopping cart, which appeared to come out of nowhere.

"Motherfucker...," I mutter looking left and right to see if anyone noticed.
"Seventeen and still a clutz I see," I hear someone inject from behind.
"Stephen, it's been awhile," I turn and looked awkwardly a him.
"Yea, but you know how things go," he replies throwing a few cans of soup into his cart.
"Well, better get home," I insist after a long silent pause.
"Wait!" he rushes up to dragging his devil cart behind him.
"Yes?" I inquire turning to face him.
"I just want you to know, I never meant to come off as a douche, or anything, you know it really wasn't any of my business and-," I interrupt him.
"It's fine," I crack a smile," I guess you were trying to look out for me."
"Exactly!" Stephen exclaims," how's that by the way? WAIT! I'm sorry, being nosy once again."
"No, no, it's cool," I laugh," Well me Aaron, we're good, we're great actually."
"That's, good...great really! I'm glad, so see you around?" he says slightly touching my shoulder.
"Yea, maybe," I nod in agreement before walking the opposite direction towards the cashier.

After paying, I load all the groceries into the trunk of my brother's car. Jumping into the driver's seat, I notice Stephen across the parking lot, lugging his items into his car. I stare for a moment before rearing out of my parking space and heading back home.

"Oh brother I home!" I burst through the door, a medley of filled plastic bags in my grasps.
"Let me help you with those," he takes out the gigantic Lays bag and returns to the couch.
"Thanks, you know you really are the best brother ever," I retort sarcastically.
"Oh I know," he beams flipping through the TV channels.
"So...," I begin resting the groceries atop the counter.
"Need money?" Brody raises his eyebrows at me.
"No, not at all," I shake my head storing the milk in the fridge.
"Then what?" he wonders eyeing me.
"So I saw someone at Ralphs," I state.
"Interesting...who?" he questions.
"First, I would like to say it was unexpected and I had no idea he'd be there," I explain, Brody getting suspicious.
"Can you cut the crap and just tell me?" Brody grows impatient.
"Stephen was there," I croak out.
"Really?" Brody gets up off the couch and starts towards me.
"And we kind of talked for awhile," I shrug.
"Oh my gosh...," Brody throws his head back," Kat!"
"I'm sorry Brody! It was an impulse I couldn't of just ignored him!"
"Yes you could have! In fact, you should have!" he replies as I begin to walk out of the kitchen.
"Well I'm sorry once again," I sigh," and I don't have to listen to this, it's not like I did anything wrong."
"Not necessarily, but now Stephen probably thinks you're all buddy buddy, and Katrina you can't be friends with him," here comes another lecture.
"Don't need another lecture, this is pointless," I roll my eyes and I start for the staircase.
"Have you learned nothing from the Xavier situation?" Brody's words stop me from moving, hearing his name made me want to cry.
"This isn't like Xavier!" my voice rises turning as Brody stands in front of me.
"Kat, you can't allow this happen again," Brody's voice goes soft as a tear falls down my face.

Brody can never trust me, he always treats me like a little kid.

"Go ahead be mad. But listen Katrina, you can't fall into a trap and let guys play their games with you. They'll take advantage of you and they'll hurt you," Brody looks me in the eye.
"I don't understand...," I feel more tears form in my eyes," I'm so stupid. Xavier hurt me so bad...how could I fall for him?"
"I don't know...," Brody whispers, comforting me as my tears fall into his shoulder.

I can't be a little girl that's being played like an idiot. Not again.
