Somewhere New

Brooklyn: Y/N.

She bumps your arm.

You: What?

You whisper back.

Brooklyn: Let me see your homework.

You: Why?

Brooklyn: I don't understand it.

You: I'll help you later.

Brooklyn: Or you could just give it to me, and I can copy it.

You: No, it won't get you anywhere if you don't learn it.

Brooklyn: But it's so hard.

You: I'm going to help you.

Somewhere new. Brooklyn is younger now.

Brooklyn: My Dad gave me twenty dollars, so I can buy us both ice cream.

You: Ok! But he wouldn't want you to spend it on me.

You're younger too.

Brooklyn: I don't care. I'll tell him I bought two for myself.

She smiles at you and then runs off. You trail behind her.

Somewhere new again. Brooklyn is an adult now... Is that Lena? Everything is still kind of blurry.

Lena: I'll do it!

Brooklyn: I haven't even asked you yet.

Lena: I don't care; I know you're going to ask me.

She grabs Brooklyn's hands and squeezes them together.

Lena: I'm so excited for you.

Brooklyn: I think you're more excited than me.

You: Ouch.

Brooklyn: I didn't mean it like that. You know I'm excited.

Now you're in an apartment, everything is flashing by so fast you don't have time to think about it. Brooklyn is sitting next to you, and it looks like you're having a serious conversation.

Brooklyn: We'd be set for life.

You: I don't know, Brooklyn.

Brooklyn: Come on. It's a once in a lifetime thing.

You: They're not telling us anything about it. That doesn't seem sketchy to you?

Brooklyn: It's a secret project; of course, they're not telling us anything.

You: What if something happens to one of us?

Brooklyn: Oh, come on. You're too dramatic.

You: I'm serious.

Somewhere new again. Younger.

You kiss her, and she runs away. Did you do something wrong?

Brooklyn: Y/N?

You turn around, now you're somewhere else, older again.

You: What's wrong?

She's been crying.

Brooklyn: I can't do it anymore.

You: What?

Brooklyn: Can we... Can we move out together?

You're a little shocked. This has come out of the blue.

You: What brought this on?

Brooklyn: They're always yelling at me or each other or about how awful you are or whatever dumb shit they're angry about.
