Death By Heart by Breaunna DeMoss (poetry books to read txt) 📕

Chapter 1

Breaunna was just finishing the dishes, when she heard a loud and annoying ring coming from the down stairs hallway. She put down the dishes, ran down the stairs, and found her brother talking to her best friend, Logan.
Logan was a good person to be around all the time because his brother, Chris, was the captain of the football team, and his sister, Tiffany was captain of the cheerleading squad. He was in the perfect family! He'd never have to do anything, and still he'd be worshiped for it!
Anyway, she grabbed the phone out of her brother's hand, and said,"Don't answer the phone unless you know who it is! And since you can't read yet, don't answer it at all!"
Her brother stucked his little lip out as far as the eye could see, and let out a small whine.
"Oh, don't be such a baby!," she yelled. Then, she clunched her fist , and hung up the phone before anyone could talk. And, Breaunna, in her little wet shirt, gave a small sigh.
"Your baby-sitter will be here in a while," she said, "go get ready for bed."
Her brother replied, "Yahy! Rowr is coming, Rowr is coming!"
"Get ready for bed!," she growled.
"Ok, o, ok!," the small todler stammered.
The phone rang again. Her little brother didn't dare to even try answering the call, so he ran down the hall, and jumped into the bath.
Breaunna answered the phone, and yelled, "What do do wan't? Huh? What is so important that you need to keep calling!?"
The dark vioce spoke in an understanding tone, and said," I'm taking you to the dance, da! So be ready in an hour, kay?"
The vioce was Chris, she didn't really like him, and she didn't know why he was asking her to the dance, but she would never ever go to the dance with a stuck-up snob like him, so she decided to deny his request.
"I'm sorry, but I..." He was gone, so she didn't have a choice anymore.
"Mom!," she yelled.
"What!," her mother's shrill voice yelled back.
"I gotta get ready for the dance!"
Her mother replied in a joyful voice this time, "Who are you going with?"
She thought for a moment and answered,"with a guy!"


chapter 2

Thum, Thump!
Breaunna in her elegant white and red dress heard the noise coming from the dark living room.
"Coming!," her brother's small lifeless voice croaked.
Just then, she heard her little brother's chubby feet pitter-patting through the cold hallway, and immediately stop at the front door.
"Hey little guy, where's your sister? I'm gonna steal her for a little while."
"A little while? You can keep her if you want.," her little brother joked.
"Shut up you little twurp! I'm right here!"
"And may I say, whoa!," Chris gasped in amazement.
Breaunna blushed, she'd never been complimented like that from a guy before. Maybe tonight wouldn't be so bad with Chris, or maybe it would. I couldn't really say.
"So ya ready to go?," he asked.
"Uh...yah, see ya mom!," she wispered.


At the dance, Chris was most very charming. This couldn't be real! It was like all of my problems just floated away, and were replaced with...LOVE!
Oh, no! I was in love with Chris! This really couldn't be true! I couldn't ever live with myself, just knowing this could...could destroy me! I would never forgive myself if I broke his heart over feelings! I had to do something, but what?
And then it hit her! "Maybe if I just went along with it, it wouldn't last!" "It's perfect!", she yelled accidently!
"Huh?," Chris looked confused.
"Uh... I just found out I get 50$ for my allowance this week!"
"Oh, I thought you've done went crazy on me! Sucha silly thought, right? Of course no one could blame you if you did!," he said proudly.
"Excuse me!," she inturruted Chris's proud moment to say.
"Well, I am the most popular guy in the school, am I not?," he asked like a jerk.
She replied with, "Not to me!"
"Then why did you agree to go to the dance with me then?"
"I didn't have a choice you dimwit! You hung up before I could get a chance to answer!"
They were now making such a dramatic scene, it could have been on a movie! Nobody could take there eyes off the arguing going on in the middle of the dance floor.
"Well I just asumed you would love to go with me and be totally popular!"
"Well, you thought wrong!"
Breaunna didn't like, or even love Chris anymore. She hated him. She felt right then like crying.
Breaunna ran through the group of gowns and tuxes.
"I'm going home."
Chris followed her out the front door and grabbed her arm to stop her.
"Look, I know I can be a jerk but...," he was interrupted.
"A jerk? Try a total asshole!," Breaunna said shakily.
"You've never cussed at me before, or anyone!"
"You deserve it!," she replied.
Breaunna was giving him a grusem look. He could have given her a million dollars right at that moment, and she still would have given him that grusem look.
Chris was beginning to feel really guilty like he just killed someone or something.
"Oh, Breaunna I'm really sorry! I show off too much too many times, and I know I deserve a lot worse than just this, but will you just dance with me one more time?," he asked sincerily.
"I dont' know, you make trip, and yell at your own feet."
"I promise that I won't do either."
He stuck his hand over his heart and promised.
Then, Chris held his hand out as a gesture for Breaunna to come along with him into the dance. Breaunna took his gesture and allowed him to lead her onto the gleaming dance floor, where they danced to there heart's content!


Chapter 3

"It was nice to go to the dance with you.," Breaunna said blushingly.
"It certainly won't be the last time we go on a date!," Chris said with a smile.
Breaunna gave a confused look and said, "A date?"
"Of course!," Chris said as he winked.
"When?," she asked like it was no big deal.
Breaunna looked deep into Chris's eyes, and felt a bazaar feeling, not like love or desire, but instead, a warm comfort fell over her. She could have sworn her cheeks looked like pink blossomed cherries on a warm day in the spring.
Just then, Chris leaned in, and she followed. But, just when there lips touched, Breaunna's brother ran down the hallway, and broke it up by screaming like a monkey!
"See you tomorrow.," Chris said innocently.
Breaunna gave him a hug, and said, "See you tomorrow."
Breaunna gave a small smile, as did Chris, and Chris left with a small sigh.
"See you tomorrow.," Breaunna murmured to herself.

The very next morning when Breauna entered the lunchroom, she was welcomed with a very firm hug that litterily lifted her off her feet.
"Well...hi!," Breaunna blured.
"Hey Bre!," Chris said like a flirt.
"Aw, why are you calling me Bre?"
"That's your new nick name from me silly!"
He now had his hands laying flat aruond her curved shoulder. He moved it over a bit to give her a slight, but cute hug. His hand now covered her dark brown hair.
"I don't understand.," she said as she gave him a confused look.
"You're my girlfriend, aren't you?," he said with pride.
"Huh?"
Breaunna was confused, but starting to jump inside!
"Look, we're having a party tonight at my house, wanna be my date?"
"Me? Your date?," Breaunna looked surprised, she'd never been to any of his parties, much less been his date to one.
"Course, you are my GIRLFRIEND!"
"Right, sorry."
"So, I'll pick you up at eight then.," Breaunna saw him smile, but she woulld soon find out it wasn't at her...


In her first class,she was noticed most out of the entire class! Everyone wanted to be her friend! Nobody would ignore her, except Logan that is.
"How come you keep ignoring me?." sha said at lunch.
"Because you think you're some hot-shot now that you're dating my brother!," he replied.
"Who said that I thought that I was some hot-shot?," she asked.
"Oh please!," he yelled.
"What are you? Jealous?," she asked with a smile.
"Hell no! I would never be jealous of my brother dating YOU! I would only fell sorry for him.," he said like an ass.
"Why are you treating me like this? What did I ever do to you?"
"You dated my brother, and forgot that I was supposed to take you to the dance!"
Breaunna gasped. He was telling the truth, she had told him she would go with him if he got an A+ on the test, and he did.
"I had no choice to go with your brother, he didn't give me one!"
"You could have called back ya know!"
"Well, I didn't think of that!"
"Shows how much you know."
After that, he walked away, leaving Breaunna feeling terrible. Breaunna ran to the bathroom colorrd in yellow, white, and black, then started to weep bitterly.
Right before class, some of her best friends, Courtney and Madison stopped by the bathroom, as they always did after, and spotted Breauna huddled up in the floor.
"Breaunna," they asked, "are you ok?"
"No, go away!," Breaunna screamed.
"Bre, you really need to get up, or
