"Yep," Brooklyn nodded and fumbled with the door handle and got out of Josh's car. Josh walked round and held his hand out for Brooklyn to take.She stared at it for a few moments and covered up her not wanting to touch him by smiling cheekily and walking ahead with a slight skip to her step."Ah, rejected!" Josh called and Brooklyn was glad to hear him laugh. Josh caught up with Brooklyn and they met up with Sasha, Alice, Violet, Jasper and Tyler on the way up to the house."It's so busy already and it's only early," Violet said."Then let's get inside before all the good drink goes," Sasha said.Music was pounding when the group entered the house. There was a thin layer of smoke in the house and bodies were everywhere. Brooklyn grabbed Sasha's hand as she seemed to know where she was going and within seconds they ended up in a large kitchen filled with bottles and bottles of alcohol."Ooh, wine," Brooklyn said and grabbed a red cup and filled it up with an expensive white wine. Alic
"You punch a lot of people," Sasha said."Only for good reasons.""Only when Brooke is involved."In this time Brooklyn had managed to pour herself another cup of wine and down it all. She smirked at Harry who shook his head at her."B, you're alright though, aren't you?"Brooklyn grinned. "I'm wonderful.""You're drunk," Sasha said with a smirk. "Well, I've leave you two-""No!" Brooklyn whined. "I want to dance!" She reached out for Sasha who smirked and looked at Harry as she backed away. "I'm going to find Austin, you've got your man right there."Brooklyn pouted when Sasha disappeared, but she soon busied herself with looking at the alcohol in front of her. She picked up a random bottle and poured some into a cup."Brooklyn, don't drink th-"Brooklyn screwed her face up in disgust when she took a sip and she coughed loudly, the liquid burning her throat. "Ew," she muttered and dropped the cup back on the table. Brooklyn reached for another drink, but she was pulled to side and sh
"Kal will tell them," Harry said and guided Brooklyn through the house, acting like a shield for Brooklyn.Brooklyn took a long breath when they got outside. It was nice to breath fresh air instead of smokey, sweaty, hot air.Harry's hand went to the small of Brooklyn's back and they walked down the path and across the road to Harry's car. He opened the door for Brooklyn and helped her in. He then reached over and secured her seatbelt.Brooklyn rubbed her eyes and kicked off her shoes. Harry slid into the drivers seat and turned the engine on."Cold?" He asked and Brooklyn nodded. "The alcohol must be wearing off if you're cold," he said and turned the heater up."Damn," she murmured as Harry reversed out of his parking spot and drove away from the party. "I'm hungry," she said randomly."We can stop and get some food," Harry said."I haven't got any money.""Don't worry about it," Harry said dismissively."But-""Don't worry about it, babe," Harry repeated and within a few minutes th
Brooklyn was exhausted when she woke up the next day.She didn't get much sleep.She noticed the bed was empty and she frowned, wondering where Harry was."Morning, babe." Harry exited his bathroom with a towel slung low on his waist.Brooklyn's eyes wandered for a moment before she replied. "M-morning.""Sleep well?" Harry asked. His smirk told Brooklyn that he knew the answer."Not nearly enough," she grumbled and rubbed her eyes."Sorry," Harry shrugged."No you're not.""No, I'm not," Harry agreed and turned his back on Brooklyn and opened his wardrobe. Her eyebrows raised when he dropped his towel and she couldn't help but appreciate his ass. He had a nice ass."Thanks," Harry called as he pulled on his underwear."W-what?""Thanks for the compliment.""I...""You said it out loud, babe," Harry shrugged and he smirked to himself."I didn't... Did I?" Brooklyn gasped."Yes," Harry lied and pulled a white tshirt over his head and a pair of sweatpants."Crap," Brooklyn whispered and
"Bullshit! You lie constantly about your feelings because you're fucking scared and have never felt this way before! Just deal with it, Brooklyn! It's different! Fucking accept it! It's not like you hate what you're feeling!" Harry shouted and rose to his feet."I want to hate it!" Brooklyn yelled, standing up to face him. "You're an ass! Everyone at school is scared at you and I have bitches coming up and slapping me because they think I'm using you! I try and avoid you, but it never fucking works because it's like I'm drawn to you in a way I can't explain and it scares me! I don't want to accept it!""Why the fuck not?" Harry snapped."I've just told you why!" Brooklyn exclaimed."Being scared isn't an explanation!" Harry yelled. "We had sex. That is a fucking big deal to you, but now you're going to go back to ignoring me, like it never happened! Don't be a bitch, Brooklyn! Just stop running away!""I'm a bitch? I'm a bitch because I'm scared!" Brooklyn gasped. "I was raped Harry!
"What happened?" Violet asked."It just happened. I'm not a slut, I don't do this with guys, but Harry... He's different," Brooklyn said quietly. "We had sex.""Finally!" Sasha cried. "No wonder he got so annoyed! Why are you making such a big deal out of it, girl? This is a good thing! You two finally did it!"Brooklyn sighed and rubbed her eyes. "There's a reason I don't get close to guys," she said. "I know I've not known you girls long, but I trust you. I need to show you something." Brooklyn stood from her bed and walked over to her wardrobe and found the shoe box. She placed it on her bed and took the lid off. With a deep breath she took out the newspaper clipping and held it out.Sasha was the one to take it. Her eyes widened immediately and Brooklyn watched as she read it carefully."Brooke..." She whispered."I don't want sympathy," Brooklyn said quickly and Sasha passed the newspaper clipping to Violet and Alice. "I don't want to be treated differently, but I just wanted you
Thunder woke Brooklyn and she shot up in bed, her eyes wide.She grabbed her phone and checked the time. 6:30. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. Another crash of thunder made her jump and she closed her eyes. When she had been taken by the man who abused and raped her, it had thundered the majority of the time.She couldn't hear thunder without being reminded of that torturous week.Brooklyn turned on some music and blasted it loudly, trying to drown out the storm. She was home alone, which made her more nervous. Her aunt and uncle had already left for work and Brandon had left the night before to stay round a friend's house.Brooklyn hummed to the music and got in the shower. She showered quickly and dressed in ripped skinny jeans and an oversized purple jumper. Her hair was in curls all over the place and she didn't even try to contain them as she knew the rain would only make them worse."Jesus, Mary and Joseph," she gasped when a loud crash made the floor shake slightly. Brooklyn to
"W-why would I freak out?" Brooklyn asked cautiously."Because you're you and you witter on about pointless nonsense when you're nervous or scared," Harry shrugged."I do not!" She protested."You do.""Harry, why would I be scared?" Brooklyn asked. "You're being weird.""Because what I'm about to tell you isn't exactly normal," Harry said and he grabbed Brooklyn's hands. The sparks soothed the uneasiness she was starting to feel. "I need you to trust me.""You're not exactly making me want to at the moment," Brooklyn said."Just trust me, and shut up," Harry said and Brooklyn's mouth dropped."Excu-"Harry cut Brooklyn off by kissing her. "I need you to listen," he said.Brooklyn sighed. "Fine.Harry ran his fingers through his damp hair and chewed his lip. "This is going to sound crazy, but it's going to explain everything.""Just spit it out, Harry," Brooklyn said."Do you believe in supernatural creatures?" Harry asked."Supernatural creatures?" Brooklyn said and giggled slightly.
