Strong is Beautiful

Chapter 7

Madi arrived in her PINK yoga pants and Zach's old football sweatshirt with her hair in a messy bun.
Which, by the way was perfectly place on her head.
She was the kind of person that could look beautiful even with no make up on.
"I just got your text. I came as fast as I could." She said hopping on my bed.
"What happened?"
I told her about my date with Chris,
then coming home to Brody, 
and then what happened with him.
She listened to me never acting bored. I loved her for that.
Madi was always there for me.
"Want me to beat him up for you?" She said when I was finally finished. 
Madi, being 5.4 and 110 pounds could not hurt a fly.
"Nah, that's ok" I said smiling.
"Well, Brody is a jerk and he doesn't deserve you.
Chris seems perfect and" she paused. "..maybe it's time to move on." 
As soon as she said I knew she regreted it, but I wasn't mad.
I knew she was right.
Brody doesn't like me in the way I like him.
Mads had me laughing and smiling in no time.
"I have to go," She said looking at her phone. "The twins will be getting up in 15 minutes to  open presents and I don't even want to know what will happen if I'm not home." 
"Alright, thank you!" I said. "What would I do without you?"
"Well.. your life would suck." She said winkng. "Cya later beotch."
"Bye" I yelled throwing my pillow at her as she lef tmy room.
I thought about sleeping, but dad is going to wake up in 20 minutes to come get me to open presents.
It was our tradition to open presents at 7am sharp.
I asked one year if we could bump it up a few hours, but he responded "No we cannot. Can you bump up school to 10? No, it stays."
He was right on time, "Come on kid."
"Merry Christmas Dad." I said hugging him.
I opened all my presents and loved them all.
Jeans, uggs-a chocolate pair and a pink pink, skirts, dresses, two bags
Everything I asked for under the tree.
I loved my dad for getting me all of this stuff.
He did everything he could to make holidays special wihtout my mom there.
He was my rock and I don't know what I would do without him.
He opened all of his own presents as well, I got him a watch and some new ties.
He appreciated it all.
Then we went to start on the traditional sugar cookie dough recipe in the kitchen.
At the end of the day, I was exhausted from cooking and cleaning. 
My dad and I cooked for my grandma and my two aunts and uncles, along with their 6 kids.
Watching the grinch in my new zebra snuggie, I felt my phone vibrate.
It was a text from Chris.
'Merry Christmas beautiful. Hangout tomorrow?'
Seconds after I got a text from Brody.
'Hey Hals. I wanted to say sorry for everything. Let's hang tomorrow.'
You've got to be kidding me.
I don't think I have ever passed up hanging out with Brody, but now things were different.
I texted Brody first and said I had other plans 
and told Chris that I would see him tomorrow.

Chapter 6

"Hey." Brody said.
"Um. What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well, I'm watching some tv, had some dinner with your dad because you were MIA." He said.
"I mean, you're supposed to be at your Grandma's house, aren't you?"
"Well Grandma got drunk and her and my mom got into a fight, so we decided to go home early." He laughed and I laughed with him.
"Ok, but why are you here?"
"You seemed like you really wanted to talk the other day." He said. "So, what did you want to talk about?"
'Well, first off I'm in love with you.
But, I am falling hard for Chris,
who you set me up with by the way.
Kind of ironic, hey?' I thought to myself.
"Not much, just wanted to thank you for introducing me to Chris." I managed to say.
I wanted to tell him everything.
"Oh." He said pausing for a moment. "So, you like Chris?"
All I mustered up was "Mhm." 
He made a confused, upset face for a slight second and then regained composure.
"That-that's great. I'm glad it's working out." He said.
"Yeah, great." I said kind of sarcastically.
I knew I would regret it, if I never told him. I had to.
"Brody," I began. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." He answered.
"Have you ever liked me more than a friend?"
I stopped waiting for it to soak into him.
We sat there for a minute, and that minute felt like an hour.
"Umm." He paused. "I've never really thought of us, more than friends."
I felt my heart burst out of my chest.
"Oh, okay. I just wanted to know. I feel the same way." I lied.
We sat on my couch together watching Elf in silence. I didn't even laugh at my favorite parts.
When the movie was done, he got up and said "Good bye."
I looked over my shoulder and said "cya."
Once I knew he was really gone, I layed down and cried.
I ran up to my bedroom and grabbed my mom's locket. I put it on and smoothed my fingers over the incripted writing that said 'Strong is Beautiful.'
I wanted to be strong for my her, but sometimes it was too hard being strong all the time.
I grabbed my phone and typed 'SOS'
and clicked send to Mads.

I'm sorry that this chapter is so short, I've been busy with the holidays. I hope everyone had a great Christmas! :)

Chapter 5

Brody and his family were going out of town for the rest of break, so I couldn't talk to him.
The day before Christmas eve, Chris arrived 9 o’clock sharp at my doorstep.
There was a million things going through my head when I walked downstairs, but when I opened the door and saw Chris it all vanished. 
I looked into his cyrstal blue eyes and smiled.

“You look so beautiful.” He said.
“Thank you.” I said putting on my boots and jacket.
I even grabbed my scarf and mittens to add to the outfit.
“Bye Dad!” I yelled over my shoulder as we left. “So, where are we going?”
“I thought we could go ice skating, if that’s ok with you?” he asked.
“Yeah sounds perfect.”
I grabbed his ipod that was sitting on the dash. I flipped through it until I found my favorite Jason Aldean song.
“I love this song.” He commented on my choice. “Most girls don’t like country.”
“I absolutely love it.” I smiled back. “Oh just to warn you, I’ve never ice skated before.”
“Me either.” He said laughing. “We can try it together.”
We parked at the ice rink and waited in line for a couple minutes for skates, which were the most uncomfortable things ever, but I refrained from saying it.
The ice rink was outside and it was lit up in Christmas lights. “All I want for Christmas for you” by Mariah Carey was playing as we waddled toward the ice.
I was so glad I decided against wearing a skirt. I wore my Hollister skinny jeans and pink uggs with pride.
“I’ll go, if you come with me.” He said extending his hand.
When I put my hand in his, it just felt right.
I bet we both looked absolutely ridiculous when we got onto the ice. We leaned on each other depending on one another to stay standing.
He picked up skating pretty quickly, I can’t say the same for myself.
I was having so much fun with Chris, he made me laugh and he was sweet.
I was definitely crushing on him.
Without realizing it, I almost ran into a chair that was sitting on the side of the ice rink.
In order to dodge it I almost fell, but Chris caught me.
“Thanks for not letting me fall.” I said smiling up at him.
For the first time I really took in Chris’s handsome face. His dirty blonde hair fell onto his forehead and his eyes, I could look into them forever.
“I would never let you fall.”
And just like that we were kissing. After he pulled away, all I could do was smile.
He smiled too.
“I’d say we had enough time on the ice, how about some hot chocolate?” He asked.
“Sounds perfect.”
We sat and talked about everything sipping our hot cocoa.
After a while we were interrupted, a janitor told us that it was closing time.
We both laughed and got up holding hands heading for his truck. 
When we got to my house he opened my door for me.
Which, by the way, never gets old.
Without speaking he walked me to my door. Then he kissed me. He gently pulled away and said to call him tomorrow.

“Good night Halie.” 
"Good night." I said walking into the house. 

I had completely forgot about Brody,
until I realized he was sitting in my living room.

Chapter 4

The next morning woke up to 5 text messages from Madi. The last one she sent read “call me now.”
I didn't even crawl out of bed, before I called her.
“Halie, what happened last night?! You never texted me back.” She squeaked into my ear. “Did you tell Brody? What did he-”
“Madi, let me talk.” I interrupted. “So here’s the thing, I didn’t tell Brody last night. I didn’t-”
“What? How could you not tell him? After everything we talked-”
“Madi!” I almost screamed into the phone. “Let me finish.”
“Okay.” She said calmly.
“Okay,” I began. “I was talking to Brody right after you left, everything was perfect. He started talking about finding me the perfect guy, I totally thought he was talking about himself. Then, he called over his very hott friend Chris who he thought would be perfect for me. Weird, right?”
I let that sink in with her for awhile. 
She finally said, “So you didn’t tell Brody and you hung out with another guy last night?”
“Yeah, he kind of took me home.” I answered.
After a 10 more minute Q & A, she found out everything she wanted to know and said she needed to go take a shower.
I left out the part about the kiss, I felt it was too personal and wanted it to be my little secret.
I tiptoed downstairs and began preparing pancakes for my dad and I.
When I left for the party last night, all I could think about was Brody and how he was the one for me. And then I met Chris.
Perfect, adorable Chris. 
Do I go out with Chris again?
Or tell Brody that I actually like him?
I couldn’t do this anymore. I grabbed my I-pod and stuck my headphones in and turned it all the way up, grabbed my jacket and went for a run.
When I got back, I found my dad buried in the newspaper eating pancakes.
“I couldn’t wait.” He said shrugging. “How was the run?”
“Just what I needed.” I said grabbing a plate.
Ding-dong. Ding-dong.
“Ugh, I’ll get it.” I said walking to the door.
I opened the door to see a bouquet of flowers laying on the ground. 
I scooped them up, smelling and searching for a card at the same time.
“Halie, I had a wonderful time with you last night, and I really hope you did too. 
Please accompany me to dinner tomorrow night. I’ll be there at 9.
Chris”
I was still in shock when I brought them inside. This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.
My dad took them and put them in a vase for me.
“Thank you.” I said.
Maybe this was a good thing, going out with Chris I mean, maybe I could finally get over Brody. 
But did I want to?
I decided that I needed to talk to Brody. Sooner rather than later.
I typed into my phone, "Brody, we have to talk" 
and pressed the send button.

ChaChaChapter 2
After a twenty minute trip to the supermarket, Mads and I were on our way to Brody's house.
"Are you nervous?" She asked as we approached his driveway.
"I feel like I'm going to throw up. Can we just go home?" I said glad that I wasn't driving because I definitely would have left.
"You'll be fine! Remember it's just Brody."
When we pulled up to his house, valet parking took her car. I could barely breathe as we entered the house.
As soon as we got inside Brody welcomed us and took the cheese and then he was off.
"I can't do this!" I whispered to Madi.
"Just relax. You can do this, you look amazing. Brody would have to be dumb not to like you." she said as she scanned the big open room full of people.
She was looking for Zach and she spotted him a second before I did. He smiled and waved her over. "Good luck." She said giving me a hug.
Before I could say thank you, she was long gone. Her and Zach had been dating for 2 years now, and it has definitely taken it's toll on our friendship.
I needed to relax, so I walked over to the fridge and grabbed and diet dr. pepper, my favorite. Brody always had a stash for me.
Brody appeared from the crowd and gave me one of his famous smiles.
"You look great tonight Halie." whenever he spoke I melted inside, I hope he didn't notice.
"Thanks you don't look to bad yourself." I said winking at him, but for the first time I really looked at him. He was wearing black slacks and a black button up shirt with a white tie.
Oh, how I love it when guys dress up.
"What do you think of the party?" He asked just like every year at his annual Christmas party.
"It was better last year." Was my usual answer and I didn't feel like changing that now.
"What was that?" He said grabbing me as he began to tickle me.
This was my biggest weakness and he knew it.
"I'm only kidding. This is the best party in the whoole world." I said still laughing.
"That's what I thought!" He said smirking. "So, do you remember that conversation we had a couple weeks ago about you wanting a boyfriend?"
Of course I did. How could I forget? I dropped hints left and right and he just didn't get it.
"Mhmm."
"Well, I have been thinking about someone who would be perfect for you. He's on the football team and also plays basketball. He is from what I understand a gentlemen." He continued.
Was he talking about himself?
"And I decided that my buddy Chris was that guy. I invited him here to meet you."
Wait, what? Why would he be setting me up with his friend? I made the decision right then, that I had to tell him.
"Buut, I liiii-"
"There he is." He interrupted waving over Chris.

 Chapter 1

"If you want to get Brody's attention, you can't wear that." My very best friend, Madison screeched and tossed me a silver sequin dress and said "You have to try this on!"
We had been searching through the mall all day for the perfect dress for Brody Hilton's Christmas party and this was the first dress that I could honestly see myself wearing.
If Madi had her way, we would wear bikinis to the party.
There were a few problems with this plan.
Number one, we lived in Michigan and it was winter.
Number two, I've always avoided any chance of being a hoe.
Even if she is absolutely crazy sometimes, I love Madi to death.
I quickly put it on, since we we're running out of time. We only had three hours until the party and we still had to get manis and pedis.
After coming out of the dressing room, Madi was completely speechless. Which is definitely a first for her.
"You absolutely have to get that dress! It looks amazing!" She almost yelled.
To be honest I hadn't looked at myself until she said this, but as soon as I did I saw a girl, but I really didn't see me.
She had long brown hair with perfect curls and dark brown eyes. The dress fit her slim body almost perfectly.
I couldn't believe that almost a year ago I weighed about 60 pounds heavier. It was a long road to losing the weight, but well worth it. Actually, I like to say released the weight, because I won't be searching for my lost weight anytime soon.
Brody and I have been best friends forever. I have always been in the friend zone with him, but tonight that was going to change. I was finally going to tell him how I felt.
After tonight everything was going to be different. I was no longer Brody's fat friend. I wanted to be more..
and hope he wants the same.
I spent a fortune on my dress and bought a pair of matching heels, which I would probably just take off later, because I can't walk in heels, but who cares.
While we we're at the salon, Madi made me go over what I was going to say to Brody. I knew it by heart, I was going to say 'Brody, I know we have been friends forever, but I want you to know that I want more. I think you are amazing and funny and smart and perfect.' Then he says 'Why'd you wait so long to tell me?'
and we make out for the rest of our life.
Yep, that basically sums it up.
After the salon we headed to Mad's house to get our dresses on. We had about 10 minutes left, when I got a text from Brody that said 'Can you be a great friend and pick up some cheese before you come? I forgot! Thanks!'
I began to rethink my whole plan of telling him tonight. I just don't know if I will be strong enough to deal with rejection..
