All Chapters of Broken Promises: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Sitting on the edge of the bed I pulled my boots on and grabbed my jacket. "Brooke come on. I swear to God you have to be the slowest person on the entire planet." Glancing up I saw her stick her hand out the bathroom door and flip me off. Sighing I laid sideways across the bed. I was still sleepy and would have much rather been warm and comfy in the hotel bed. Brooke and I had been best friends from birth, our birthdays were only two days apart and we had been next-door neighbors our entire life. This year our parents had surprised us with tickets to fly to NYC for New Year's Eve, something I would have never thought they would do in a million years.Brooke rounded the corner, "so here is an idea. Why don't we move up here after this last semester?" I frowned at her "uh, no way. I am not a city girl."Rolling her eyes Brooke dug through her bags pulling out her shoes, "come on. We both graduate in May. You can start your masters here. I can get a kick-ass jo

It had been two days since we had made it back from New York, I was sitting at my desk at work wishing Brooke would hurry up and come back from running her errands. Today had been dead, I think the phone might have rung once all day and all I wanted to do was just go home.Yawning I got up and grabbed my iPad out of my bag, not having a phone was beginning to annoy me. I was close to taking my dad up on his offer of letting me use his old Motorola. Powering it on I ran to the bathroom before a customer walked in or the phone rang. Sitting back down I swiped my iPad open. I had a couple of messages but nothing that really interested me.After checking my Facebook messages I scrolled through my newsfeed. Exiting Facebook I saw I had some notifications on my Instagram. Opening my app I saw it was because I had a new follower, @sethgreer had followed me. My mouth fell open. Seeing I had a message I wondered who it could be from. Opening it up I about choked on the air itse

Standing on my porch I watched as Seth's taillights faded into the distance. Instantly I felt a little sad. We had sat and talked for over an hour before he had to leave. Turning around I walked back into the house heading to my room. Brooke had text me telling me they had stopped at another mutual friend's house and that they shouldn't be much longer but I really didn't care at that point. Seth's leaving had left a void that I wasn't sure how to replace. We had exchanged numbers and he had told me he would be calling me soon to get me my tickets to his Shreveport concert. I still wasn't a hundred percent sure that I wasn't dreaming, things like this just didn't happen in real life.Sitting on my bed I looked around the room and wondered what I was going to do after graduation. Seth and I had talked more about Brooke's wild idea of moving to New York and he supported the idea telling me I needed to get out more and assured me he wouldn't let anything happen to us

I woke up the next morning squinting in the harsh morning light. Grabbing my phone I saw it was almost 11. Groaning I headed to the bathroom before walking out to see if Brooke was up.She was indeed up sitting on the couch eating chips. "God I thought you'd never get up, I'm starving."I nodded at her, "I know I couldn't sleep last night. You want room service or are you going to make me go get dressed?"Brooke gave me a look and I already knew her answer. Groaning I turned to head back into the room. I threw some jeans on with a shirt before I brushed my hair. I was not ready to mess with makeup, I would tackle that when we got back. Seth's concert started at 9 but we had to be there at 8 so I had all day to get ready.Walking in the living area Brooke was waiting for me. She had looked up a Chinese place we had wanted to try. The only downfall about not driving was we had to call an uber. I wasn't big on them but Brooke told me I would just have to get

Monday turned out to be a day straight from hell. Brooke and I worked from the minute we got there until it was time to leave at 5. All I really wanted to do was go home, take a bath, and go to bed. That would never happen. I had several projects due for school and two lectures I was behind on listening to. I had assumed online was at your own pace, I had been sadly mistaken. On the drive home I kept trying to think of how awesome it would be in May when I had my degree. I had a feeling this whole week would be hellish. My birthday was Saturday and Brooke's Monday. We had planned on going out but right now I didn't know if I could make it.Brooke looked over at me sensing my inner frustration. "You stress too much. Call Seth, he always puts a smile on your face." I rolled my eyes at her grinning, "you need new material." She shrugged, "it's true. So have you talk to him since the other night?"I shook my head no. I was tempted to
