It was dark out and there was a constant drizzle in the air. The diner was emptying, it was never busy late at night. Brooklyn looked up from cleaning a table and smiled when she saw the clock nearing 11pm."I'm off," she called to Ben as she made her way out back to get changed. Once her jumper was on and apron off she made her way back to the diner and sighed when she saw a familiar face."What are you doing here?" She snapped, narrowing her eyes at Harry."It's raining, I thought you might appreciate a lift," Harry shrugged and stuffed his hands into his pockets."Well I don't," Brooklyn muttered and looked outside. The drizzle had turned into heavy rain.Harry raised an eyebrow. "Come on, the car's running.""I'm not going with you.""Babe, it's raining and it's late out, I'm not letting you walk home alone.""Harry!" She huffed. "Just get it through your thick skull that I don't want to see you!""If only I believed you," Harry whispered as he walked up to Brooklyn. He gently cup
Brooklyn was determined as she walked to school the next day. She was determined to ignore Harry. She was mortified when he dropped her home last night. She can't believe that she had sex with him again, even after the argument."Stupid, stupid, stupid girl!" Brooklyn said to herself and shook her head. "I can't believe you- ah! Control your freaking hormones, Brooklyn!"Brooklyn could feel Harry in her head and she groaned. "Get out! And don't even try and pick me up today, mister! I refuse! I refuse you! I refuse to acknowledge you! I refuse- I just refuse everything!"Brooklyn looked across the road and smiled awkwardly at a girl who was staring at her weirdly."Great, now she thinks I'm a lunatic," Brooklyn muttered and rolled her eyes. Brooklyn groaned and took a deep breath.Her head was all over the place and she blamed Harry, but also the four cups of extremely caffeinated coffee she had drunk this morning as she didn't get much sleep last night. Again Harry's fault, but also
Brooklyn closed her eyes and built the wall, blocking Harry from her mind. Harry's eyes went dark and Brooklyn ducked and rushed off before she saw anything else.She had begun to realise that the more she hid the angrier Harry got. He was scary, but he didn't scare her. She knew he wouldn't harm her."You have that slightly panicked flushed look on your face," Sasha said, bumping into Brooklyn in the hallway and linking arms with her. "Did you spot a certain blond haired guy?""I did.""I heard he punched someone yesterday. Usually it's Greyson that does that," Sasha said. "Either he's just annoyed for no reason, or a certain girl is causing his anger.""He's just an angry person, nothing to do with me," Brooklyn shrugged."Oh really?""Really.""How about we ditch school and go shopping? I have a date and need an outfit," Sasha said."Austin finally asked you out!" Brooklyn gasped."He did," Sasha blushed."Screw school, lets go!" Brooklyn grinned and Sasha laughed and the girls tur
"What the hell are you doing here?" Brandon demanded as he stormed into the hospital room where Brooklyn was, hooked up to various wires and machines."Now is not the time to annoy me, Brandon," Harry warned, not looking up from Brooklyn. He was seated next to her, holding her hand tightly. "You're lucky I even called you.""Oh my gosh!" Brooklyn's aunt and uncle rushed into the room and gasped at the sight of their battered niece."I'm going to find a doctor," Brooklyn's uncle stuttered. "Find out what happened.""Brooke," Brooklyn's aunt whispered and shakily walked over to the bed."They operated on her. She had a tree branch in her stomach. She lost a lot of blood, she nearly didn't make it," Harry said, his voice empty. "She's stable now.""Were you with her when it happened?" Lisa, Brooklyn's aunt asked."No, Brooklyn's friend Sasha was driving. She got away with a mild concussion and a few scrapes.""What happened?" Lisa asked and brushed one of Brooklyn's curls away from her f
Harry sighed. "I'm so glad you're okay, babe," he said."Me too," Brooklyn said honestly. "How's Sasha doing?""I don't care how she's doing, do you think I know?" Harry asked. "She's doing a hell of a lot better than you so she's not worth my time.""Harry!" Brooklyn scolded. "She's my friend!""And she crashed you into a tree," Harry said. "I think I'm justified to not like her.""You're not the one who crashed," Brooklyn said. "You're not justified at all.""I don't care either way," Harry shrugged. "You're the only person I care about.""Ace said he's never seen you care about someone like you do with me," Brooklyn blurted."Ace needs to keep his mouth shut," Harry growled."Is it true?" Brooklyn asked."Yes," Harry said simply. "I haven't got many people to care about, Brooklyn. I don't get close to people. I don't build relationships with people.""Is it because of what happened with your family?" Brooklyn asked quietly."I'm not a nice person," Harry said. "I don't like people
Brooklyn was asleep, cuddled into Harry's chest. Harry wasn't meant to stay at the hospital over night, but somehow he managed to get away with it.Brooklyn slept peacefully with Harry. She felt no pain. Had no nightmares. She felt safe.Harry brushed Brooklyn's curls from her face and tangled her hair round his fingers."Stop it," Brooklyn grumbled and batted Harry's hand away as she woke."Morning," Harry said. "Sleep well?"Brooklyn shrugged her shoulders and winced as she adjusted her position. "You don't have to stay overnight, Harry.""Knowing you you'll somehow manage to kill yourself if you're left alone," Harry said. "I've got nothing better to do.""That can't be true," Brooklyn said and rolled her eyes. "Why do you want to be stuck babysitting me?""Because it's you," Harry shrugged and stood up, stretching out. Brooklyn watched as his muscles tensed and flexed. "Stop staring, babe.""If you won't leave then you've got to put up with it," Brooklyn said and Harry rolled his
Weeks passed and after many trips back and forth to the hospital Brooklyn was finally declared fit enough to return to school."I never thought I'd be happy about going to school," Brooklyn said as she looked up at the miserable looking building in front of her.Brandon laughed and shut the door to his car. "I'm glad you're back, B.""I should say it's good to be back," Brooklyn said. "But it's not. I mean it's great that I'm able to come back and I'm glad I am, but I'm really not looking forward to French first period."Brandon rolled his eyes. "Oh the struggles you have in your life," he said sarcastically. "Come on, let's get inside."Brandon ending up leaving Brooklyn as soon as she set foot inside the building. He got sick of the amount of people approaching Brooklyn to see how she was. He wasn't a fan of lots of people and Brooklyn told him to leave her."You're back soon," Austin said to Brooklyn when he noticed her by her locker."Fast healer me," Brooklyn grinned. "Is Sasha h
Harry helped Brooklyn out of his car, pulling her up gently, trying not to hurt her stomach."You okay?" He asked, flinching when Brooklyn groaned in pain."Fine," she said. "It just twinges."Harry gave Brooklyn a look, but linked his fingers with hers and walked towards the diner. It was relatively busy, it always was after school.Brooklyn spotted Ben behind the counter talking to someone with their back to them. Ben smiled and waved at Brooklyn."Don't go and talk to people," Harry muttered and rolled his eyes when Brooklyn pulled him over to her manager. "Of course she goes and talks to people.""Brooke! How are you?" Ben asked."Alive," Brooklyn said with a laugh."Real funny, Brooklyn," Harry said sarcastically."Shut up," Brooklyn said. "I'm okay, the doctor said I wasn't allowed back to work yet.""That's fine, take all the time you need," Ben smiled. "My brother said he'd help out until you were back." Ben gestured to the guy they had yet to see."How wonderful, lets go, bab
I walked into my last class of the day. I was late.The teacher scowled at me, but realised I was new and told me to take a seat.I looked around the class and spotted Eli sitting with Hampson in the middle of class. My eyes landed on Emma who was seated with her orange looking new friends, she had an empty seat next to her. The next empty seat was next to Kent who smirked darkly at me. The final empty seat was near the back of the class, next to Jasper and Ivan.I looked at Kent and Emma before gritting my teeth and walking to the back of the classroom and taking a seat next to Jasper.He turned to me with a small smirk. "You must really hate the other two if you're choosing to sit next to me.""You have no idea," I muttered."What did the guy say to you? When you kicked him the day you got here?" Jasper asked quietly."What do you care?" I snapped."It must've been something pretty bad," Jasper pushed."It's none of your business," I said and glared at him. "Now do me a favour and s
Jasper rolled his eyes and I gritted my teeth. I did not like this Kyle kid. "Fell off my motorbike," I snapped."Really? Must've been a rough night," he said and I glared at him."Yeah, just a little bit," I growled and I felt Eli's hand clamp around my wrist as I started to rise from my seat."Stop it, Kyle," Jasper said with a chuckle."So, how are you guys enjoying it here?" Sammy asked."The people are assholes," I said."Daisy," Eli warned. "Calm your anger.""Schools not that bad, what's there to be angry about?" Sammy smiled and I gave him a murderous glare."I'm sure she can think of something," Jasper murmured."I'm going," I said and looked at Eli. "Get off me.""Don't rise to them, princess," Eli said in my ear, but I ignored him."Let go of me, Eli," I hissed and tried twisting my arm from his grasp.When he didn't let go I scowled at him and grabbed the pen off the desk and aimed it towards his thigh."Fucking hell, Daisy!" He snapped and caught my wrist."Eli, I'm not k
"Does it hurt?" Eli asked."My thumb? No," I said. "My hand," I raised my left hand that had the bandages on. "Fucking kills. They even put stitches on my hand. I didn't realise it was that bad.""How hard did you punch the wall?" Carter asked."Hard enough to split my skin open," I shrugged."What about the stitches on your head?" Tom frowned."Police brutality," I said simply as Eli drove into school."What are you going to tell people if they ask what happened?" Eli asked me when we got out of the car."Fell off my motorbike or something," I shrugged and he walked up to me."You look like shit," he said."Thanks, you're really up for cheering me up today, aren't you?" I snapped.Eli grabbed my arm and I didn't tense at all. He pushed the sleeve of my jumper up and ran his fingers over the needle marks. "We'll find out what they did," he said lowly and I pulled my arm away, pushing my sleeve down and crossing my arms over my chest."You can't act like you know what they did," I said
"Everyone piss off!" Eli called. "Blake, help me check her injuries."Blake and I followed Eli through the house into the room reserved only for us. Eli passed Blake his phone and Blake nodded."The police called," Blake said. "You're meant to be behaving yourself, Daisy."I could tell that Blake clearly knew it wasn't the police he spoke to.Eli was next to me and he pulled his shirt off and passed it to me."What happened to your hand?" Blake asked as I turned my back to them and pulled my top over my head."I punched a wall," I said truthfully and unclipped my bra. "One too many times." I slipped Eli's tshirt on and quickly took my leggings, underwear, socks and shoes off and bundled them up, passing them to Eli. We had to burn all of my clothes, they could be bugged.Eli walked out of the room and and Blake pointed to the couch."You're meant to be working on your anger, Daisy," Blake said and I couldn't help but smirk."Fuck off," I scoffed and I laid down on the sofa. Eli return
I had tried to stay awake, but sleep caught up with me and I was jolted awake when the door flew open and Jasper walked in."Is it time for more questions?" I asked sarcastically.He looked at my bloody hand that was throbbing. "What did you do?""I punched the door. Nothing happened. So later I punched it again, and again, and again," I shrugged. "It's okay, I can still do this with it." I stuck my middle finger at him and he narrowed his eyes at me."Get up," he said and grabbed my arm. He handcuffed my arms behind my back and then pushed me out of the room. We didn't go far, only down the hall and into a white room with hospital beds and medical equipment. It stank of antiseptic and bleach."Is this her?" A middle aged woman asked, walking up to us in a white lab coat.Jasper nodded."Uncuff her, Jasper," the woman frowned. "You're treating her like a criminal!""She is," Jasper shrugged."You've done worse," the woman said and Jasper unlocked the handcuffs. "Hello, Daisy, I'm Made
One hour:Nothing had happened.Two hours:Still nothing.Three hours:I was getting pissed off.Four-The door swung open and I looked up, crossing my arms over my chest. "Nice of you to pop in," I said and narrowed my eyes at the man who walked in. He was around 40 with light blonde hair that was cropped neatly. He had piercing blue eyes and was wearing dark jeans and a white button up shirt.Somehow, he pulled it off, managing to look relatively cool, but also quite scary.I stood up and leant back against the mirror as Jasper entered the room and shut the door behind him.The man looked at me. He stood still. Stiff. But his blue eyes looked me over, darting from side to side. "Sit, Daisy," he said and walked over to the table in the middle of the room. He took a seat and looked up at me."I'm good here," I said and eyed him and Jasper cautiously."I'm sorry about the way we had to get you here-""Are you?" I challenge and the man narrowed his eyes at me, not happy about being inte
UNKNOWN"Dad," the guy said as he walked into his fathers office. "I've found her."The man sat up in his chair and looked at his son. "Are you sure?""Positive. She's the one who killed the agent.""Good work, bring her in to be questioned and then we'll arrest her and send her to prison," the man said sharply."Dad, have you seen a picture of her?" The guy asked and walked up to his fathers desk."No, just bring her in," the man snapped.The guy took the picture of the girl and slid it across her desk. "Her name is Daisy Kellerman, and I think you should take a look," the guy said and the man sighed, picking up the crumpled picture. His expression darkened and he stiffened."Bring her in," the man said immediately. "I don't care how and find out everything you can about her.""So I assume I wasn't making a random guess about who she is," the guy said and the man took a deep breath."Bring her in. I don't care how you do it. We'll have answers then.""So, how did today go?" Blake ask
My next class was literature and I really wasn't feeling it. I wandered around the school until I found a door that led outside. I smirked and walked round the back of the school, leaning back against the wall and reaching into my jacket pockets that I had luckily left my cigarettes in.I took one out of the packet and slipped it into the back of my jeans. I then grabbed my lighter and lit the cigarette, sighing in content.I was alone for a while, but then I footsteps and I looked to the side as the silver haired guy and Asian guy walked round the corner. There eyes landed on me and they seemed surprised to see me."First day and you're already skipping," the silver haired guy called and they walked up to me. "Are you going to walk off if we talk to you?""Not if the conversation is interesting," I shrugged."Why are you here?" The guy asked."Bored," I sighed and I pushed myself off the wall, but I didn't get far. The guy grabbed my shoulder and pushed me back. "Jesus, what's your p
I was sitting outside of the house on the steps. It had been an hour since I had arrived and I already hated it."Hello!"I looked to the side as a little girl with pig tails sat next to me and looked up with big brown eyes."Hey," I said."I'm Lily," she said and held her hand out.I chuckled and shook it, she looked no older than 8. "Daisy."She gasped. "We both have flower names! That so cool!""Hmm," I nodded."What happened to your face?"I cursed the bruises on my face. I was a fast healer, but bruises seemed to stay for weeks. "Nothing," I shrugged."It had to be something, silly," Lily said."I was punched," I said and Lily gasped."What!""Joking," I said smoothly and chuckled at Lily who let out a big sigh."Phew," she said. "So what happened?""I walked into a door," I lied."Now that was silly," Lily giggled."It was, wasn't it?" I nodded and I stiffened when I heard footsteps. It was the guys from across the road."Sammy!" Lily grinned and jumped up from the steps and ran
