(P.S. This is Brooklyn's POV)
I stepped back into my house, leaning against the door. I reached up to touch my swollen lips, smiling.
"Brooklyn, is that you?" I jumped as Mom flipped on a lamp. She was sitting in her favorite armchair, a blanket draped over her legs. She was holding her 'Best Mom Ever' coffee mug. "Why were you out so late?"
"We went to the beach an-"
"Tell me something I don't know." I smiled grimly.
"We stayed late and my phone died. Then there was traffic and we stopped for food."
Mom sighed. "I'm not really good at the whole punishment thing. Your dad was always better at this stuff . . . " I looked closer at her mug. The rim was stained red . . . with wine. I walked over to her, pulling the mug from her shaking hands. She didn't resist. "Bailey, honey." I flinched, bracing myself for what was next. "What happened to you hearing is my fault. It's all my fault!" She burst into tears. "Go! Just leave! I don't want you to see you mother like this, just go!" I nodded, stepping away from her. I slid upstairs into my room. I collapsed onto my bed and blinked away tears.
"Hey, you okay?" I jumped, whirling towards the window. Taylor stood in in front of the window, looking extremely comfortable. He reached up to scratch his head. "I, uh heard your mom screaming and I got worried." I smiled, stepping closer to him.
"I'm fine, my mom just got worried waiting up and she got a little . . . drunk." Taylor frowned.
"You okay?" I nodded, reaching out to touch his hand.
"I also wanted to talk to you." I became worried and sat back down on my bed. I patted the spot next to me and he sat down. "This is gonna sound selfish. I can't do whatever this is." He gestured between us.
"What are you saying? That we can't be friends?" My eyes welled up with tears.
"No. This 'friends with benefits' thing going on." I nodded, blinking back tears.
"You don't have to do thi-"
"Yes, I do! It's either me or him." Taylor slipped out the window. I burst into tears. What an amazing day (note my sarcasm)!
