That night confusion set in. Brianna was lying in bed just thinking and thinking.

This is something I didn’t expect. I was so worried about what was going on with Nick and I. I never expected someone else to enter the picture. Mitchell seems so nice. He’s nothing like John was. Plus he’s so cute. What am I gonna do if he wants to have a relationship? What am I gonna do about Nick? I’m sure no matter what we’ll always be the best of friends. But things are so up-in-the-air with Nick right now. We haven’t really talked about what or what isn’t happening between us. What if there really is something there? What do I really want?

I know when I’m around Nick I don’t think about anything or anyone else. He’s always been a strength for me. He makes me laugh, he watches out for me, and I know he genuinely cares for me, even if it is just as a friend. I trust him completely, probably more than I’ve ever trusted anyone else in my life. But, who knows if we are meant to be merely friends or something more?

And Mitchell, he is just too new to really have an opinion one way or the other. I like him, at least what I know of him. He makes me smile. And unlike John, he doesn’t seem to have a problem with Nick, at least not yet anyway. But I just don’t know what to really think about him yet.

Maybe I shouldn’t worry about it right now. Things are too new with Mitchell and I can’t make any decisions until I know what is going on with Nick. Yeah, I guess that is what I should do. It is too soon to make any decisions one way or the other about either of them. Probably the best thing to do is what I’ve always done, just wait and see what happens in time.

After that rambling of thought Brianna was able to settle down and get some sleep. Being in the sun at the beach always tired her and she slept soundly until late the next morning.
