It felt better hearing Evan say the things he was saying. The problem had been that earlier as soon as they'd realized they didn't want to dump each other, Brit had thought everything was good. But truth be told, they had just been a ticking time bomb since they'd gone back to happy without ever talking about what really had went wrong in the first place. And as much as Brittany hated talking about the serious stuff, she supposed in this case it was necessary because this was the first time she was really hearing Evan talk about what went wrong in the first place.
"Okay...well, we agree on that much," she smirked, glancing at him sideways. It seemed like she wouldn't have to worry about Hannah anymore...or at least she hoped that she wouldn't. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have gotten so jealous over the dumb cheerleader...its just that I walked in and saw her arm and arm with you and just sort of freaked out. I guess I felt like we'd just gotten over the Syn thing and now here was Hannah trying to get with you." She sighed. "I mean come on, you're not that great," she teased, sticking her tongue out at him jokingly. Of course he was that great. She should be surprised that more girls weren't interested in him. But still, he wasn't single...why didn't that matter to anyone?
"Yeah...me too...I sort of made a scene in there...huh?" she admitted. "I've never really freaked out like that before...sorry," she said again. She did feel bad about her melt down, especially now that Evan was admitting that he felt bad about the way he'd acted too. It was hard because they'd never been in a real fight before...they'd never really had yelled at one another...or if that had it had been because one of them was grabbing candy from the kitchen and the other picking a movie in the other room and they had to yell out preferences so the other could hear them. They'd never yelled at one another because they were mad before tonight.
She nodded when he said he'd talk to Ian. "It's probably not a good idea to talk to him right now though. Tomorrow at school should be fine. He's been going through a lot too, so I think he probably over reacted...and knows he did." Brittany didn't want to go into details because she was pretty sure that Ian didn't want her to go blabbing around about how he couldn't make rent and she'd had to give him the difference. Plus, although Zac would be out for good soon, she knew he probably wasn't as strong as he had been before he'd been shot, plus Ian and Zac were super close--connected at the hip close, so she knew the whole separation had been hard for him.
"Yeah...to be honest, I don't know what I'd do in that sort of situation either. No one's really ever tried to hit on me before though...except you, and well, you know me, I had no idea what you were trying to do until you asked me out. So I guess I might have been the same way if I was in your situation...oblivious and all that." She paused for a moment. "That doesn't mean you shouldn't know what to look for now though right...just if someone gets too close, just like step back or push them away or something..." That seemed plausible right? "No...I don't want to break up either," she said. "I meant what I said this morning and stuff. I just freaked out just now."
She let him keep his arm around her this time, liking that feel of it. Liking the feel of him... She did have to forgive him...he was right. He might have been the one to screw up initially but they were never going to get better if she kept bringing it up. "I mean, I can't promise how I'll react when I see you with a girl...like...like...in pulp fiction when they're out at the restaurant and he says he wants to tell her something but only if she promises not to be offended and she says she can't promise how she react because her natural reaction might be to be offended and then she'd be breaking her promise..." Brittany grinned. "See--I can quote movies too!" She stuck her tongue out at him again, starting to feel better. "But yeah, my point is, I can't promise that I won't be jealous when I see you talking to another girl, but I can try. I can at least promise to try and be reasonable about it all and not freak out right away and assume the worst. I should have known you'd never like a girl like Hannah anyway...and if it had been before the whole Syn mess I wouldn't have even cared that she liked you...its just harder now..." She paused again, pressing her lips together for a moment. "But if you promise to be more careful when girls seem to friendly, I think I can trust you...because I really want to. I just need time to...to get over it. But I will, I know I will, because I know you won't mess up again...but like I said, I can't completely promise never to go all jealous again, because I can't really help how I feel...you know...I just feel how I feel. That's the best I can do for now," she told him, really hoping that that was enough.
She smiled when he said that his house was empty and offering up movies and candy. She nodded. "I'm really sorry for screwing up your bowling night--I know you've been looking forward to it all week. But I don't really want to go back in there...so, if you're still up for it...a movie and candy sounds perfect," she said, smiling. She stood up and held out her and to him, waiting for him to join her.
